HOGS IN HEALTHY CONDITION
Mixture Recommended by Expert Of
Louisiana University to Keep
Animals Free From Disease.

The following mixture, recommend
ed by DIR. W. H. Dalrymple. Louisiana
State university, should be placed in
every hog lot. as It viii help to keep
the hogs free from intestinal worms
and other parasites as well as supply
mineral matter needed for the build
ing OF bones and other tissues:
One bushel OF wood ashes. six BUSH
els OF corncob charcoal or three bush
els Of common charcoal. eight pounds
Of common salt. two quarts Of air
slaked lime. atty pounds Of raw rock
phosphate.
After these ingredients are thor.
oughly mixed and broken mp. IN
pounds OF copperas. dissolved in water.
should be sprayed over the mass and
thoroughly mixed with It. Any guam
tity may be prepared by following the
proportions given. II is fed by being
placed IN troughs. protected from the
rain.
Those who have used this mixture
pronounce the results very beneficial.

ness, not only in growing the crops
ana caring for the animals, but also In
conducting the business side Of the
farm. Further, IL the farm is devoted
to perishable products there must be
an important advantage in location
with reference to markets. The pro-
duction of perishable products far
from the market is attended not only
with heavy freight and commission
charges, but 1t also is subject to dis
astrous fluctuations in prices.
Intensive crops are normally subject
to far greater fluctuations in price
than are the staples. Taking the coun.
try as a whole, vegetables, including
potatoes, occupy only "a per cent OF
the crop area and fruit only ~ per
cent. Under present conditions this
is about all of these crops which can
find a market at remunerative prices.
On account Of the small area involved
1t is very easy to increase production
far beyond demand; In fact, this often
happens with results disastrous to
specialized, intensive farming. The
field for the profitable small farm is
therefore, very limited one.

FOOD SUPPLY FOR CHICKENS
kaflr and Milo Are splendIdIy Adapt
ed for Feeding to All Poultry
Use With Other Grains.

Kafir and milo are splendidly adapt.
ed, both in size and composition. for
feeding to all classes Of poultry In
many parts of the country, far outside
OF the grain-sorghum belt, small
patches Of kaflr. durra, or other "chick.
en- corn" are commonly grown on the
farm, simply to furnish chicken feed.
In 1898 there were more than 100
firms engaged in the manufacture of
over zoo brands Of poultry feed. Fig
ures furnished by S3 Of these firms
show an annual output at that time Of
about $4,000 tons of these products.
Approximately 10000 tons, or one.
third of this total, consisted of the
seed of Blackhull kafir. This was most.
ly used In mixture with other grains.
such as corn. wheat, screenings, etc.
II Is probably conservative est.
mate that kaf1r or milo seed forms
fully % per cent Of the prepared poul.
try food sold In this country. So strong
Is the demand for these grains By the
manufacturers Of poultry food that
similar varieties have been imported
from as far away as India, when the
crop in this country was short. Con.
siderable quantities were SO imported

DEPLETION OF COTTON SOIL
Fault Solely Due to Fact That Plant
Food Has Not Been Replaced by
Use of Fertilizers.

We hear more or less of how cotton
has depleted the soils of the South and
this story is still going the rounds.
While 1t is true. in connection with the
statement, another should be made In
explanation, and that Is that cotton
has depleted the soil solely because
the plant food taken from 1t by the
cotton was not made good by appli-
cation OF fertilizers. and not because
cotton Is hard on the land. As mat
ter of fact, It draws less on the chem
icals Of the soil than most crops.
What applies to the depleted soils of
the South applies to soils everywhere.
II they are cropped without regard to
the proper feeding of the soil and a
rotation Of crops, no matter what the
crop may be, they will be depleted as
the cotton fields have been In sections
of the South.
True, we have learned much about
the needs of the soil during late years,
but we are still inclined to draw too
heavily on the stored-up plant food,
and disinclined to replenish that plant
food by application of the proper fer
tilizer. It is all very well to obtain
nitrogen by the blowing under of leg
umes and to get the potash in the
soil free by cultivation. but this will
not give crops for an indefinite period
II we continue to take from the soil in
excess OF what we return to 1t. II we
would learn to fertilize on the princi-
pie OF giving the soil what the crop
needs plus a little more to increase
the stored-up quantity, we would have
a fertile soil at all times

Floor Plan Of Dairy Barn.

ers would walk $50 rods and back,
or total distance travelled OF two and
one-fourth miles per day. For single
mixer 1t would mean 164 miles extra
walking per year.
II a man commenced during this

$500 miles, or one-third the distance
around the world Yet all OF this la
Dor might have been saved by a little
headwork In planning the arrangement
of the dairy barn So as to make 1t
unnecessary to carry the milk the ex-
ira so feet.
II this saving of time be true with
the simple operation Of milking. what
does 1t mean when all the numberless
details of feeding, cleaning out stables,
bedding, etc, are considered for q
lifetime? It means the saving of sew
eral trips around the world for the
dairyman.
The dairyman who uses his brains
sufficiently to fully appreciate and put
into practice true dairy economy, can
and should make trips around the
world, but doubtless he would appre-
ciate this travelling better II It were

KEEP FOWLS HEALTHY
Ground on Which House Stands
Must Be Cleaned often.
Advisable to Keep Walls Of Building
on Ground-ExeIude Drafts
by Mailing 5attens Over
JoInts-Piace for Door.

With regard to the exterior and in
terror arrangements Of poultry houses,
the advantage of not having wooden
floor is that the hens keep healthier
than II there was fitted floor.
If portable house and too large to
move on to fresh ground as often as
would be necessary to keep the
ground clean, but since cleanliness is
essential to success, the ground on
which the house stands must be
cleaned and newly Uttered frequently.
Some of the best materials to use
as litter are moss filters, cinders and
ashes, straw or hay.
Sawdust is not good litter in such
a place, whatever it may be on a dry
floor, because 1t absorbs and retains
much moisture from the ground.
1t is advisable to keep the walls of
the house off the ground by standing
them on a sill made of the most dur
able wood, and in this way they are
kept from early decay, and the wood
will also hold longest by placing the
boards upright and fixing them in this
position to the framework.
Drafts may be excluded, as 1t is
most necessary they should be, by
mailing thin battens two inches wide
over the joints between the boards on
the outside walls.
The boards of the roof should, on
the other hand, run lengthwise from
end TO end of the house and parallel
with the ground, for though they may
not hold so long in this position or If
placed upright, they can be preserved
by annual painting or tarring, and 1t
is the only way of making thorough
ly rainproof roof, that will remain
