With new corn the greatest danger
is in overlooking. Farmers who have
old corn left over who will take the
trouble to mix it with the new, can
feed the new crop to very good ad-
vantage because the green stuff is
greatly relished by the pigs and it
adds to the palatability of the old
corn.
But it is a mistake to start hogs on
new corn alone and all we'll informed
feeders know that it takes more grain
and longer time to make fat hogs from
new than from old corn.
Another thing: 1t is believed by
many hog raisers that heavy feeding
with new corn produces cholera.
While this is not likely, it is almost
certain to produce disturbance of the
digestive organs and prevent that
steady laying on of fat which is the
aim of all feeders.
We all know that corn is the most
fattening feed that can be used but
many of us have not yet learned that
constant and heavy feeding of this
grain alone produces serious trouble
and does not make as good pork as
when fed judiciously with other kinds
of food.
When hog is stuffed with corn and
nothing else, he soon becomes over
fattened and his growth stops, simply
because he does not get the proper
material in his food to make bone and
muscle and his fat is piled on small,
weak frame.
A corn-fat hog is also deficient in
rich blood, lacks stamina and is In

DESTROY WHITE FLY
ON TOMATO PLANTS
Department of Agriculture Rec
ommends Fumigation With
Hydrocyanic Gas.

For white fly on tomatoes the ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
recommend fumigation with hydro
cyanic acid gas. Special care is ne
cessary for the use of this poisonous
gas, however, and in some cases it is
undesirable or impractical. In such
cases an all-night fumigation with a
tobacco extract is recommended. This
should be followed the next day by
Swinging with whale oil soap or its
equivalent. The best brands Of whale
oil soap, used in the proportion of one
to one and one-half ounces per gallon
of water, have been found to destroy
all of the white flies except the eggs,
a small percentage of the nearly ma
ture pupae, and from 25 to so per
cent of the adults which escape the
spray by flying fsom the plants. 1t is
not advisable to syringe tomato plants
In greenhouses at any time, when
avoidable, as Swinging interferes with
pollination and produces damp at
mosphere which promotes rot, but the
injury by Swinging may be as moth
ing compared with that which is
caused daily by the insects.

STATE
TOO MUCH TOBACCO HERE.
inspector Wilkinson Considers A
Shipment Embaroo.

"NiHSoH CONSIDERS n

me MOOD OF shipments of Maryland
toDacco to the State tobacco ware

'hat Inspector Wilkinson has seriously
considered the placing of an embargo

rate that has not been equaled for
years.
The result has been that the ware
louses, both those of the. State and of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, have
mad all their available space taken up
Ihere is some space left in the Balti-
more and Ohio warehouse, but that
space, it is said, is being reserved for
the Ohio tobacco which that road han
dies, and for which it has been accus-
toned to provide warehouse facilities.
The congestion of tobacco in the
warehouses is said to be due to the
lack of shipping facilities to the other
side of the ocean. Practically all the
tobacco grown in Maryland and much
OF that grown in Ohio is purchased by
the French Government The buyers,
1t is said, have bought literally, but
have been unable to take the tobacco
away because of the difficulty of get
ting ships to take it abroad

MAKE PROFIT WITH
SHEEP ON ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have
Fewer Ailments Than Any
Other Farm Animal.

For the man who has rough or poor
land with short pastures. sheep are
much more profitable than cattle.
On farm of 100 acres or over, it
pays much better to sell sheep as NUT
ton instead of stock for other people
to fatten.
Sheep should be graded according to
size, putting the prime ones in lot to
be fed by themselves, and if you are
determined to keep the poor ones put
them in a different lot and do the
best you can with them. Better sell
them, though.
If your ewes drop their lambs and
these are in need of attention which
their mother cannot give them, dilute
cows milk with about one.third wa
ter
There is nothing better for sheep
than clover, except possibly alfalfa.
Some farmers say they do not keep
sheep because they are subject to
disease, which is great mistake; be-
cause properly cared for sheep have
fewer ailments than any other farm
animal
No animal on the farm is an dainty
as the sheep when it comes to drink
ing water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch it.
If you have had no experience with
sheep do not buy a ram on your own
judgment, but get some man who
owns sheep to buy it for you. And
don't be stingy in the matter of price
The big fairs are great object les
sons which the farmer who tries to
keep up with the times cannot afford
to miss.
II you intend to go into the sheep
business better go to the state fair
this fall.

poor condition to resist any disease
that is liable to attack him under such
condition. 1t is all right to crowd pigs
from birth to maturity provided they
are crowded with growth as well as
fat
The first two months must be spent
in building up frame work and con-
stitution which will carry load of fat
which is to be put on during the close
of the feeding period
The wise feeder does not figure so
much on the amount of fat he can put
on his hogs as he does on how quickly
and cheaply he can prepare them for
market and how much profit he can
make during the feeding period
The farmer who has a hundred
acres of corn and no clover pasture or
alfalfa is not in good position as re-
CARDS hog feeding. Glover, alfalfa,
wheat bran, pumpkins and skim milk
are all necessary to the proper feed
ing Of hogs from the time they are
pigs to the time they are sent TO mar
net. IL d HldI has HO seHSlUlo hiloNl-
edge of balanced rations, he can, if
he is a close observer and possessed
of common sense, generally tell when
his hogs are making the right kind of
growth.
If he observes his hogs becoming
chubby with rolls of fat, skin pale,
showing anemic conditions, listless
and lacking in snap and vigor, he will
know that they are getting too much
corn and will change or vary his ra-
ton to overcome these unfavorable
conditions.

A MILLION FOR NEW BRIDGES.
This Sum Will Be Needed To Link
State Roads.

In linking up the new road system
of Maryland with new bridges, the
s1.OOO,000 will be needed. 1t is not
proposed to build these bridges at
State commission estimate that over a
once, but to erect them on gradual
scale. Members of the next General
Assembly will come forward with
bills carrying appropriations for the
work. The new structures as de-
signed will replace old ones in most
cases. The new bridges are consid-
cred necessary, as the present struc-
lures are either unsafe or are ap-
preaching that condition.
The most expensive bridge pro-
posed is that over the Severn River,
at Annapolis. This needed improve
ment has been hanging fire for sew
eral years. Fruitless efforts have
been made to induce the federal gov
eminent, the Maryland Electric Rail-
ways and Anne Arundel county to
join in erecting magnificent struc-
ture. The federal governments CO.
operation is sought because of the
proximity of the Naval Academy and
of the pressing necessity for span

FOUR AMENDMENTS UP.
Voters To Pass On Rule Plan In

Four important proposals to amend
the State Constitution, submitted by
the last Legislature, will be voted on
at the general election in November
They provide authority for home rule
for the city and counties; the refer
endum: authority to classify property
for taxation purposes, and authority
to provide suspension of sentence, in
determinate sentence or parole in
criminal cases.
The Home Rule amendment does
not institute home rule, either for the
city or the counties. 1t only gives the
people and the Legislature authority
to institute it. If the amendment is
adopted. the Mayor and City Council
Of Baltimore city or not less than
10000 registered voters of the city
may petition the Supervisors of Elec-
tions to hold an election for charter
board. In any of the counties not less
than 20 per cent. Of the registered
voters of the county, but not more
than 10000 in any case, may petition
the local Supervisors of Elections for
that purpose. In Baltimore city the
charter board shall be composed of
II men and in county of five men.
Nominations for membership in a
board shall be made by petition to the
Supervisors from not less than 5 per
cent. of the registered voters of the
city or county.
