"Hogging-Ofp' Field Peas

The ''hogging-off" of field peas
is a practical and efficient method
of harvesting the crop and feed
ing the hogs. Farmers who have
tried it very generally agree that
the practice is economical and
successful.
The Animal Husbandry Depart
ment of the Idaho Agricultural
Experiment Station has, in a
practical test, conducted during
the summer of 1915, indicated
that the practice of ''hogging-
off" peas is successful. There
are some disadvantages to "nog-
ging-off" field PEAS such as wet
weather, difficulty of fencing,
packed and hardened fields during
wet weather, etc., but in spite of
these disadvantages the practice
is successfully followed in many
sections of the state; some of the
more distinct advantages are la
Dor saved in harvesting, rapid
and economical gains on the hogs,
increased fertility of the land and
more complete use of the land, i.
e., growing a crop of field peas
instead of summerfallow.
A plot of field peas consisting
of AIS acres was used for this
experiment. The yield of peas
was estimated to be 20 bushels or
1900 pounds per acre. The plot
of AIS acres was divided into
three lots, lot consisting of 1.32
acres, lot 2, LAP acres, and lot 3,
Isl acres respectively. Lot 1
was used for Is days by 20 pigs
averaging Is pounds and produc-
ing APO pounds gain; lot 2 was
used for SO days by 20 pigs aver
aging 1913 pounds and producing
$40 pounds gain; lot 3 was used
for 30 days by Is pigs averaging
SAT- pounds and for A days by
30 pigs averaging 70.8 pounds and
producing 1927 pounds gain. Lot
3 not only had the run of the 81
acres but CLEANED over lots l and
2 after the hogs had been remov-
ed from those lots, and the a.
mount of gain made by lot 8,
clearly shows the Importance of
running a second bunch of hogs
on a given area to clean the peas
up thoroughly. Lot 2 was fed,
in addition to the peas, rolled
barley at the rate of 2 pounds
per 100 pounds live weight or a
total of 1241 pounds of barley.
The barley was valued at $25 per
ton and the value of the amount
fed was deducted from the value
of the peas and the supplemented
barley.
Valuing pork at Sc per hundred
weight, the peas produced after
deducting the value of the barley,
S108.51 worth of pork, an aver
age return of $25.53 per acre or
81. Is per 100 pounds of peas in
the field.
The use of the barley as sup
plement at the rate of 2 pounds
per 100 pounds live weight paid
for the grain but results did not
seem to justify the additional
labor.

Experiments Being Carried on
May Claim Vast Amount OF
Waste Land

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. ii. G.
Handy, in charge CT the agricultural
extension department of the lnterna-
tional Harvester company at Grand
Forks, returned to this city yesterday
from a trip to the Crystal Springs
Stock Farm, owned by A. Stonehouse
and located between Larimore and
Grand Forks.
An experiment with a pit silo is
being carried on at the Crystal
Springs farm and Mr.. Haney is en-
thusiastic in tho belief that it will
be a great boon to the dairymen OF
the state in making valuable a large
amount of waste land. He reports
that Mr.. Stonehouse is highly elated
owe the success attained thus far.
The silO was constructed III the ear
ly part cf July and filled up with
sweet clover, the purpose being to
make ensilage from it, an innovation
in the northeast.
Sweet clover will thrive on alkali
soil and other land where little else
will grow, Mr.. Haney points out, and
if the experiment turns out the sue
cess that is hoped Tor, 1t WlK make u
vast amount of so-called bad land in
the state of value.
About three days before Mr.. Ha-
ney went to the Crystal Springs farm,
Mr.. Stonehouse had commenced feed
ing the sweet clover ensilage to his
COWS each night after they, came in
from uhe fields, when they Nerresnot
particularly hungry. The animals ate
up every bit of the ensilage and every
evening following their first feed
came around earlier than usual III or
der to get the choice morsel. Mr..
S%tonehouse missed feeding the ensi-
lage to the COWS one evening and the
next day their milk supply showed a
falling off, indicating thai the ali

MT. Hassinger's Letter

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid:
 I beg to congratulate you on the edi- torial in this mornings Age-Herald as showing a desire to be fair and place the loss of the recent rail order where it be- longs. You show that rails can be pro- duced for s1s ton. and that out of a should be able to absorb the s differential in price made by the Canadian mill and that therefore the tariff has nothing to do with the loss of the order to the Ems ley mill Had you carried your inquiry to an end you would have reached just the opposite conclusion, as I will try to show.
 The whole question rests on whether or not $10 a ton is a fair profit. The produc- ton of rails at Ensley is approximately S5o,00o tons annually. At s10 a ton this would show net profit of ss.5OO, 900. The Corporation has invested in the Tennessee company and the improvements since the purchase nearly sS0,0OO0o0, and on this capitalization the company would earn about per cent and leave nothing for ex- pansion or improvement. The amount ex- pended on betterments since the Corpor- alton bought the Tennessee company has been between s4Ooo.ooO and s5,Oooooo an nually. Can anyone in this district say that they would be satisfied to have them spend less or be so unreasonable as to say that they are not entitled to per cent on their investment? If so, the BIO a ton profit is not sufficient and the tariff has injured us here to that extent. Very truly yours. w. H. PASSENGER. Birmingham, March 26, 1915.

INDIANS WRITE ID
 SENATOR WHITE Complain of Ill Usage. Queer Names Cause
 Amusement

The Indians, whose claims have for Rong received the attention of Con Eress, are evidently imbued with the idea that ex-Senator Frank S White Is not only their friend. but the Hast word" in national influence.
 Yesterday a letter was received by fhe senator and inasmuch as on the envelope was written, Return in five days to George No Horse, Lodge Grass, Mont," 1t was opened with consider able curiosity. It's salutation was, s.Dear Senator MT. White" and Its con aents consisted of pitiable complaint that the case of the Indians was not Receiving the proper attention. The letter was signed, Mir George No Horse, Lodge Grass, Mont Mir Other Medicine Stops. Reno, Mont, and Mir. Sees With His Ears, Black Lodge, Mont.
 From the names it was plain to the senator that these Indians. having ao- quired the use of the English lan- guage. anglicized and made ridiculous the names which when pronounced in the language of their tribes are not only euphonious but descriptive.
 'T presume that the Indians regard me as their friend because l made sew eral speeches in their behalf while Q member of the Senate said Senator White. There has always been a movement on for Indian appropriations in order that a ready money crop might be prepared for white specula- tors. I took the position that the h. dians should be treated in all fairness as the wards of the government, with great consideration because they, hav- ing been victimized by countless sharp CTS deserve the protection of the gov ernment"
 The senator was deeply touched by the communication-desp the fact that the translation of the old tribe names caused his amusement--and prepared an answer in which he ex- plained that he was no longer in the service. but would be willing at all times to lend them aid in the time of trouble or distress.

MUCH PLEASED AT
 REVIVAL RESULTS
Methodists Holding Meet. ings Every Night-Some-
 thing of Methods

Save one soul to save a thousand" is the slogan of the Methodist campaign to get more converts, now In progress, and which will last until Easter Sunday. Teams from the various churches throughout the district are hard at work, and thus far their efforts have been crowned with success.
 In the Birmingham district alone there are about 24 churches of this denomina- tion. Each evening at 7;30 o'clock two street meetings are being held, one on the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, and another at Second and Nine- teenth. At the conclusion of these street meetings services are held in the various churches A great deal of interest has been aroused and they are all well at. tended.
 pr. T. Y. Lewis of St. Johns Methodist church at Memphis is in active charge assisted by the various Methodist pastors in the community. Dr. Johnson of the pFfrst Methodist church is delighted with the interest shown in the movement thus far,
 We are more than pleased with the fruits of our labors so far" he said 'and we expect to add a number of peo- pie to our congregations by this move ment, which, by the way, Is the first of it's kind to appear in Birmingham all though 1t is not original with us. The movement originated in St. Louis last year, and the results obtained were SC good that we decided to inaugurate the movement throughout the entire south The result is that we are having revivals in several of the most prominent cities at the present time, namely, St. Louis, Dallas, Montgomery, and Memphis, be- sides Birmingham. l am gratified to see the people of Birmingham take the in terest they have manifested in the move ment. as I am sure we will be able to do a great deal of good. We have a num- Der of teams out at work throughout the district and their enthusiasm and con ffdence are remarkable. In other words, this is just a whole souled, enthusiastic movement based on system for the plir- pose of trying to save all who will pro- fess faith in Jesus Christi
