SUMMER CROPS FOR HOGS
SORGHUM.

The sweet sorghums make very
acceptable forage for hogs in the early
summer, coming at time when it is
sometimes difficult to have other green
feed. Sorghums are most serViceable
for grazing during May, June and early
July. The results of experiments at
the station have not indicated the high
value of sorghums as a grazing or soil
ing crop for hogs that they are reputed
to have. In fact, we do not place a
very high value on them, and commend
their use only as a makeshift. The
only strong points in their favor are
that they give quick returns, and may
be had about the time winter crops
are exhausted and summer crops are
not sufficiently matured for best SER
vice. The Early Amber, Early Orange
or Coleman are to be preferred. Any
of these may be soWn in drills as soon

growth will not be rapid until warm
weather prevails. The middle of March
to the first of April ordinarily is good
time to plant sorghum. However, the
crop may be planted as late as the first
Of August. When sown in drills, with
rows three and a half feet apart, it
takes about twelve pounds per acre to
give thick stand. 1t is best to plant
the seed thick so the stalks will be
small The crop should be well cul-
tivated until it is about two feet high,
if it is to be grazed, or as conditions
may require, if it is to be soiled. Plant
ed in late June or early July, they will
mature in sixty-tive to seventy-fve
days-W. R. Dodson, Director, Expert
ment Stations, l.. S. U.

PROVIDE SHADE AND FRESH
WATER IN SUMMER MONTHS

Chickens should have plenty Of shade
and plenty of fresh water during the
hot weather if the best results are to
be obtained. Unless the chicken yard
has shade the chickens will not be
very active and will not thrive. They
will prefer the shelter of what little
shade they can find instead of search
ing for food.
In summer time the water should be
changed at least three times day as
it soon becomes warm and stagnant.
Chickens like fresh water and do much
better when it is provided literally

SJmE -UEANTAGGS or
LESPEDELA.

/. Lespedeza perpetuates itself on
the land by the annual seed crop. Ii
the crop is harvested quite early, a
second growth makes a crop OF seed.
If harvested late, seed are matured
before harvest and shattered on the
land in harvesting.
z. No hay crop allows such a wide
period OF time in which harvesting may
be done. The harvest season may ex-
tend from late August to late October,
including hay and seed crop. In fact,
new lespedeza begins to come into
local markets in late July. Such early
cutting, however, will not yield large
crop, although the quality is excellent,
as there are no leafless stems. While,
under favorable seasons, a second cut
ting may be secured, it will be short,
either for seed or for hay, and should
continued dry weather follow such

| ly damaged. 1t is not improbable that
with better understanding OF the
plant we will make two cuttings per
season, when the most favorable con,
ditions of growth prevail.
3. Lespedeza natures for harvest in
september and October, when we gen
orally have fine hay-making weather
A. Lespedeza cures very quickly
since the stems are very small AND
contain low per cent of water. Prob
ably no other hay plant is SO easily
and quickly cured.

6. The hay is rich in protein, and is
relished by all live stock, and there is
no waste in feeding it, as all the stems
are consumed.-W. r. Dodson, Director

THE SOFT ROT OF THE FIG.

The soft rot of the fig is trouble
which is well known to every one who
has ever raised figs. The trouble occurs
chiefly during rainy spells in the sum.
mer when the fruits is ripening. The
fruit sours, becomes soft and rotten,
and, finally, falls to the ground. At
the time the fruit falls, it is generally
SO soft that it goes to pieces when it
strikes the ground
The rot itself is generally due to
specific fungus, though there are q
number of factors which govern the
severity Of the attack. The fungus is
a very common black mold, the same
that causes the foul-smelling, soft rot
| in sweet potatoes, and that frequently
grows on bread that has been kept too
moist While there are other fungi
and bacteria in figs that have the soft
rot, think that more than 80 per cent
of the damage is caused by this black
mold.
| There is very little that can be done
to control this trouble, especially in
those regions where the rainfall is
large; but perhaps the loss can be de-
creased to some extent by following
the suggestions:
| l. Pick the figs very often, and do
not allow any to hang on the trees
after they are ready to pick.
| 2. Keep the ants out of the trees if
possible Perhaps the best way to do
this is to wrap the tree trunks with
something the ants will not cross, such
as fly paper or ant tape. This material,
of course, would have to be renewed
after every rain.
3. In planting the trees, use those
varieties which are not particularly
subject to rot, unless there is some
more important reason for using the

How to Obtain Best Results

known as back draft and this will blow the prod
ucts of combustion back into the room or IN case OF
an automatic water heater will put out the pilot, so
that the heater will not light when the faucet IS
tuned and gas escapes. In a case like this always
follow the instructions printed on the heater and
close off the main gas valve as we'll as the pilot
valve and allow the heater to become entirely
vented of gas before trying to light It and then
light the pilot before turning on the main gas valve
again. The chimney should be fixed so that there
will be no back draft as this IS dangerous.
In lighting tank water heater open the door wide,
have your match ready and turn your gas on full,
applying the lighted match at once, If the valve IS
only turned on little the burner apt to light back
in the mixer and produce disagreeable odor and
will bum gas without heating any water.
Don't turn on your tank heater and go to look for
a match If your match goes out turn off the gas
until you get another If the burner lights back
in the mixer turn it off and light ii again.
Don leave your heater burning after the desired
amount of water IS heated.
Don't let your hot water faucet run and leave the
stopper out of the SINK basin or tub. Draw only
the amount of water required to do the work
Don't draw small quantity Of cold water out of
the hot water faucet if you have an automatic heat
er and because 1t Is cold think that you have not
burned any gas the heater lighted and heated the
amount Of water you drew, and it is in the line
and will probably be cold before you draw water
again.
DOnttry to light your automatic heater if the pilot
Is out without turning off both gas valves and vent
ing the heater and then don't turn on the main gas
valve until the pilot is lighted.
Don't try to use your Water heater when your flue
Is stopped up, as evidenced by bad odor Of burnt
gas IN the room. Shut off the gas and have the
chimneys cleaned or if you are not sure of the
trouble call the gas company and we will send
man to locate the trouble and report to you
Don't experiment with any gas appliance you do
not understand. We maintain department to

Every family should have hot water for sanitary
reasons if no other and those who use a gas stove
will find gas water heater the most convenient
and economical appliance for heating water.
Gas water heaters are Of three general types. The
tank water heater attached to your kitchen tank
and lighted each time you want hot water. he
automatic water valve controlled heater which has
pilot light burning all the time and which lights
each time you turn the hot water faucet heating
the water that passes throug Oh the heater until the
faucet is turned off. The automatic themo static
type which works like the automatic except that
if the amount of water being drawn is less than
the capacity of the heater, will burn on a suttl-
cient amount of gas to heat the quantity of water
passing to temperature at which the heater IS SET
A cubic foot of gas will raise gallon OF water
a certain number of degrees IN a fixed time so the
temperature of the water has great deal to do
with the amount of gas 1t takes to heat certain
quantity of water to the desired temperature. Also
the temperature of the water obtained at the faucet
depends upon the amount of pipe the water has
to pass through from the heater to the faucet and
the amount of heat radiated from the same. In
winter the water Is colder to start with and the
pipes being exposed more heat IS absorbed from
the water by the air around the pipes than Is the
case IN summer.
1t has been found in recent years that heaters built
of copper coils are more efficient than the old type
iron disc or iron tube heaters, the copper coils
transferring the heat from the gas to the water more
quickly and being less apt to stop up from depos-
its of alkai or other substances IN the water. All
heaters in this locality however will in time be-
come coated with alkali and should then be
cleaned as the efficiency Is very much reduced
All water heaters must be connected to the
chimney or outside air and these flues sometimes
become clogged with SCOT and dirt especially if
they are connected into the same flue with the fur
mace or coal stove. When this happens the prod
ucts of combustion are forced back into the room
and give very disagreeabIe odor. In case like
this the heater should not be used until the CHM
ney has been cleaned by chimney sweep or some
one Sometimes chimneys are so constructed that
the wind blows down them and you get what is
