EXCESSIVE HEAT HURTS HOGS
More Easily Thrown on Feed Than
Any Other AnimaI-constipation
One Of Effects.

One Of the effects of hot weather IL
to cause constipation In hogs. The en-
cessive heat seems to throw the hog
on feed more easily than II does other
animals. A laxative feed is the natur-
al preventive. but the whole environ
ment must be right to protect hogs
from this. A change Of feed, particu-
larry change from a light to heav-
Ter and drier feed. is most likely to
cause constipation. Pregnant sows
are troubled more from 1t than are
other classes of hogs. The practice Of
combining them before narrowing time
has much to do with 1t and may result
in serious loss as they have trouble in
narrowing when consupated. Two to
four ounces Of raw linseed oil fed daily
with the feed is an effective treatment
after the trouble sets In. Lots of exer-
else on field covered with Juicy grass
is an effective method Of keeping the
trouble away.

CONTROL BOIL WEEvIL
Simplest Type Of Mechanical De-
vice Known as Chain Drag.
Combines In One Process Cultivation
Of Crop and Drawing Of Fallen,
Infested Squares to MlddIes
Sun Kills Pests.

(By w. E. KINDS. Alabama Experiment
Station.)
By far the simplest type Of mechan-
zeal device for weevil control and one
that has been tested quite extensively
in Texas with beneficial results. Is
known as the chain drag or cultivator.
A full description of such is found In
Farmers Bulletin No. 344 Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
This device is not expected to catch
weevils or to collect squares, but to
combine In one process the cultiva-
ton of the crop and the drawing Of
fallen, infested squares to the middles
by the use Of heavy chains arranged
so that they will converge to the rear
from the outer ends of q spreader.
Thus the infested squares are exposed
to the heat Of the sun and the weevil
stages are killed. The device Is Of spe-
cial value during periods of hot. dry
weather and on soils that are not
baked.
This device is an extreme simplifica-
ton of the chain cultivator idea and
may be easily made. 1t consists essen
TALLY of four parts. First, spreader.
which may be a piece of heavy joist
or even a green branch Of a tree. The
length should Ne six or eight inches
shorter than the distance between the
rows. 1t should be two or three inches
in diameter and fairly heavy. The
chain may be fastened to the ends by
heavy staples or by wiring. 1t is better
TO have one side Of link held In a
notch sawed In the end Of the spread
er. The second part is the chain which
should be Of a type commonly used in
logging operations and should have
about seven or eight links per foot and
these made of about one-half-inch iron.
From II to Is feet of chain is needed
to give two loops with spreader Of
three to four feet in length. 4
The chain is fastened so that one
loop is shorter than the other, thus
bringing the loops about ten inches
apart. The third part is trace chain
for connecting the drag with the SIN
gle tree This may be fastened six or
eight inches from the ends of the
spreader and should run forward far
enough so that the spreader will not
be lifted from the ground as II Is
drawn forward. Fourth. the machine

"Tt's Party continued EfIie Elf,

Or, at least she pretends she can't tell

"'All right, let's get started. Who

"She went with her Silver Wand

Of beautiful Golden Rods all Dancing

pered to them:
Come, we're. going to have a

"'Have you asked Mr.. Suny said
the Golden Rods.
"..No,' said Fairy Silver Bell, but
will right away And she whispered
in the soft Breeze once more:
Mr.. Sun. come Join the Fun.
And Dance with US today.
For we have the Golden Rods,
Who are SO bright and gay
"And Mr.. Sun whispered back IN the
Breeze:
"'You know that Mr. Sun.

It's only on a Rainy day,
That / haven't heart to play.
Fairy Silver Bell laughed In her
lovely silvery voiced way. and the
Party began.
1.-The Golden Rods all stood up very
fine and straight and looked brighter
and more golden than ever, and the
Elves and Fairies quickly changed in
to costumes that looked very much
like Golden Rods too.
"They Danced in and OUT Of the
Golden Rods in the field, and Of course,

"'Dear me- she said, I wonder

She flew over the Field several

into cultivation in gardens. but the
true natives Of the forest, resisting do
mestication, do not thrive. and those
that can be provided for outside of the

The authorities therefore advise that

cause of failure In establishing bur
clover crops, especially when hulled

insure incubation. 1t is desirable,
however, in planting bur clover for

Rotating Bur Glover.
Bur clover may be used as winter
crop in rotation with any cultivated
summer crop. Among rotations that
have been suggested the following
seem desirable:
First year-Cotton, bur clover sown
between the rows September /.
Second year-Corn or soy beans. fol-

Third year-Cotton.
A less simple rotation IL the fol-

After bur clover has been once sue

secured In such intertilled summer
crops as cotton. corn. soy beans, or
sorghums. In broadcasted crops, how
ever. such as soy beans. millet, and
cowpeas, the shade is so dense that
the young bur-clover plants for the
most part perish.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
That southern farmers grow bur
clover, especially the southern or spot
ted variety, as cover, pasture and green
manure crops is the advice Of special
lists Of the United States department
Of agriculture In Farmers Bulletin
No. 693, recently issued. This has
been found to be the cheapest legume
for use in the South which will pre-
vent the washing of the soil.
One Of the advantages of bur clover
Is the facility with which 1t reseeds
itself. Once established on pasture
lands. 1t will maintain itself indefinite
ly If the plants are permitted to ma
ture some seed, at least every other
year. This elimination of the neces-
sity for additional seeding from year
to year reduces both the cost and trou-
BILE to farmers In maintaining cover
crops. In addition to its value as a
cover and forage crop, the use of bur
clover has. In many instances, resulted
In material increases In cotton yield.
Directions for inOculating the soil and
seeding. and suggestions for rotations
including bur clover are contained In
the bulletin already mentioneu.
Sowing the Seed.
Bur clover should always be sown
In late summer or fall. In the cotton
states the best time for seeding is the
month Of September. but 1t may be
seeded in August, and seedlings as late
as ectOber often give favorable re-
suits, even as far north as South Caro-
lima. Seedlings later than October.
however, are to be avoided whenever
possible, as but little fall and winter
growth is usually secured from such
paintings.
When the seed Is sOwn In the bur,
broadcasting is the only practicable
method. To obtain a full stand by
this method, from three to six bushels
Of seed per acre are necessary. After
sowing, a light narrowing should be
given. In the regions. however. which
are well adapted to bur clover. 1t Is
much more economical as a rule to
begin with a light seeding and to de-
pend In subsequent years on the vol
unteer crop when this Is practicable.

may be guided by attaching a plow
line or wires to the spreader where the
trace chains are attached. These
should run back to short stick which
gives a firm and easy hand hold. One
end Of the rope or wire may then be
carried down to each chain 50 that
they may be lifted Independently or
the entire machine lifted from the
ground to jump or dodge stumps and
to guide the machine 30 that Il may
be used close to the plants.
In dry weather, weevil-infested fields
should be gone over twice a week with
this device. A man and mule can 70
over seven or eight acres per day. This
Is as large an area per mule as should
