entire crop and to Craze upon the
young clover that has come up with
it.
Field No. is devoted entirely to
hog pasture When clover and tim

Craze principally on the clover and
leave most of the timothy to be cut
for hay. In the five-year rotation, how
ever, field No. s is depended upon to
furnish the principal supply Of hay for
the horses and cows. There should be
some surplus and this, of course. can
be sold. Late in the fall the field is
plowed for first year corn, and in the
following spring it takes its place in
the rotation as field No. I.
Under such system hogs furnish
the principal income. They are turned
in on the rye as early as possible in
the spring and there they remain as
long as the pasture is tender al
though the brood sows should be
taken to other Enclosures as soon as
the spring pigs can be weaned, and
there bred for fall filters. Early in

! turned into field No. 4, devoted to
! first-year clover and timothy. With
the addition of a rea sonably liberal
! corn ration they feed on this until the
middle of July, or two weeks after the
| rye has ripened when they are turned
back into the rye field and allowed to
hog it all down without other feed. BY
the time the rye is harvested the corn
| in field No. l is ready for the hogs.
If none of the stock Is sold before, the
hogs will gather all the corn by No
vember 1. In this way with practical
ly no labor and very little attention
the entire herd is furnished with pas
ture and grain feed throughout the
entire spring. summer and fall. In
addition, there Is the corn from field
No. 2. which is harvested and not
hogged down, and the surplus hay
from fields No. 4 and s.
| Under this system. the only time
when outside labor is indispensable Is
during the hay harvest. On farm of

this will amount to more than ten

much less than is required by the sys.

general use. As for the cash income,
1t may be said that roughly speaking
rye ultimately brings the same re-

cut and threshed and sold. In the

cost OF labor to be considered. To
save this. is the main object Of the

Fearful of the ridicule Of the sisters.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The familiar practice of hogging off
crops has been developed by experts
In the United States department of
agriculture into a scientific system of
farm management which, it is said,
will minimize, in those sections and
those farms to which it is adapted,
the cost of harvest labor.
Reduced to it's simplest terms this
system, which is described in full in
Farmers Bulletin No. GA, "A Corn
Belt System of Farming Which Saves
Harvest Labor by Hogging Down
Crops" consists of four or five-year
rotation of corn, corn, rye and a mix
ture of clover and timothy one or two
years. A farm managed on this sys-
tenn should consist of four or five
fields of from 20 to 40 acres each,
and it is desirable that all the fields
should be of approximately the same
size. Farms should be laid out in ac-
cordance with the following plan:
I. Corn-First year to be hogged off.
3. Corn-Second year to be cut and rye
3. Rye and Young Clover-Hogged off
and pastured.
4. Glover and Timothy-Hog pastured
s. Timothy and Governor hay or pas
ture.
Above is plan of farm run on five
year rotation.
In field No. the first year corn is
grown and hogged off as soon as 1t is
ripe. This is generally from Septem-
Der to September 10. When the corn
is cultivated for the last time. it is
usually desirable to sow soy Beans or
rape, in order that the hogs may have
pasturage while gathering the corn,
and also because such a crop supplies
valuable humus which can be turned
back into the soil. In the following
spring this field is prepared for Sec
ond-year corn and becomes field No. Q
In the illustration.
Field No. 2 is, as we have seen, de-
voted to second year corn, which is
not hogged of but harvested by hand
Here rye is sown in the fall. Under
favorable conditions this can be done
while the corn is still standing. but If
necessary 1t Is not too late after the
corn has been cut and shocked. Rye
may be sown much later than wheat.
and this is one Of its great advantages
In rotation such as is now being de-
scribed.
Field No. 3 is devoted to rye
throughout the entire season. In the
spring 1t is pastured by the hogs as
long as 1t is palatable, affording excel
lent pasturage, especially for young
hogs and brood sows. When the rye
becomes tough and the hogs cease to
relish 1t, they should be removed and
not returned to the field until two

NARROW ESCAPE FOR
CLOVERPORT PARTY
Five Women aud Three Men
Rescued From Ohio
River.

Cloverport, Ky, Oct. Eight
prominent residents nearly lost their
lives in the Ohio river her eat $3.50
o'clock Sunday evening when the
Mary Jane, a motor boat in which
they wsre riding, crashed into log
and sank almost before the occupants
could put on life preservers. Every
member of the party, five of whom
we're women. were fished from the
river a few moments later by towns
people.
Those rescued were. Mr.. and Mrs.
william Pate, Miss Elizabeth Skill
man. of Cloverport: Miss Elizabeth
Skillman of Morganfield, and Miss
Virginia McCavock. Miss Irene Jar
Doe. Fred Frazier and Charles White
all of Cloverport.
1t was only by the greatest of
good fortune that the accident did
not become a catastrophe. The cool
hesdedness of Mr.sPate, owner of the
Mary Jane, played large part in
preventing loss of life.
The Mary Jane was travelling at a
high rate of speed when it crashed
into the log. A large hole was torn
in the prov, and it was evident that
the boat would float but minute or
two.
Mr.. Pate commanded all the oc-
cupants to don life preservers. The
men assisted the women and had
barely time to get preseryers on
themselves when the boat went to the
bottom.
1t was dark when the accident oc.
Cured, and there were no witnesses.
But the cries of the members of the
party attracted the attention of per-
sons sitting in front of the hotel on
the river front, and the townspeople
generally responded. Every possible
craft that was available was brought
into use.
Luckily, the eight people in the
river had not floated for or become
widely separated and the work OF
rescue was conducted rapidly. 1t
was timely. as two Of the women,
due to the fact that their life pre-
servers had been dOnned in great
haste were in serious danger of 60
ing down.
The Mary Jane. which went to the
bottom, was one of the finer motor
boats in the river at this section. II
was operated by a boat club, of which
members of the party and residents
. of Louisville are members. D."
