the surplus feed. Selling feed is very
unsatisfactory if it can be avoided. 1t

loss in transportation and dealers
profits.
Feeding cattle saves the fertility,
provided the manure and bedding are
saved and applied to the soil. Even
when one gets no more than the value
of the feeds from the cattle there Is
profit left in the manure if Judi
ciousy used.
II Will require some shelter for the
cattle, but this need not be expensive.
The animals should be made comfort

For protein cOttonseed meal will
be cheap and reliable source. Silage
with grain hay and cottonseed meal
will be an excellent combination.
Where fall grazing crops are plant
ed the expense of fattening may be re-
duced considerably. Oats, wheat. rye.
barley or emmer may be sown for
grazing early next spring or this win
ter in especially favorable weather.
AS a rule spring is a good time to
market beef cattle. But one can never
tell about the markets. The feeder
must take his chances on selling. The
chief concern should be to make gains
as cheaply as possible and to sell at
as great advantage as possible.

DO NOT CROSS SWINE BREEDS
Farmers Must Make Decided Change
In Breeding Methods in Order
TO Secure Success.

CBy e. l. JORDAN. Louisiana Expert
ment Station)
Il has taken more than 100 years to
bring up our improved breeds OF swine
from their original wild condition.
Thousands of men have spent theif
lives in an effort to produce something
better than ever before In order that
future generations might get the ben
eft.
They have done a great work and
too much praise cannot be given them,
but we now have breeds enough to
fill all requirements, and II is sheer
folly to mix up the breeds we now
have with the hope of getting some
thing different" That they are usu-
ally different" no one will deny, but
il is probably not too much TO say that
every time breeds are crossed a back
ward step of fully % years is taken.
Why our Louisiana stock raisers per.
sist in this practice, which has not a
single point in its favor. with so many
arguments against 1t, we have never
been able to understand. Not only in
hogs. but in all other classes of farm
animals. the crossing of breeds has
been practiced until our live stock is
a reproach to the intelligence of our
people.
Nothing advertises a country like
the live stock II produces. and II is not
necessary to dwell upon the kind OF

else we have backaChe and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all

You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and is harmless TO
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-

Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-

take now and then to keep their kid

plications.

growing Of pasture grasses and forage
crops that make healthy, vigorous
hogs of good quality is the basic factor
in successful pork production. They
are raising hogs at big profit.
OF course those who are successful
realize the fact that a certain amount
Of grain feed is needed to grow hogs
with a greater profit. but they use this
grain only as a supplement to the

DESIRABLE TO PUSH PULLETS
Variety Is as Important as Liberal
Quantity in Feeding to Increase

From now on, the price of eggs will

and it is desirable to push the pullets

Liberal feeding, beginning with
either a good dry or moist mash in
the morning, plenty green stuff, and
meat scraps with some cut bone, and
in evening good dry grain, should
hurry the egg production.

CARING FOR THE LAWN.

The landscape gardener at Iowa
State college at Ames warns the pub
lie against sprinkling lawns in hot
weather He asserts that sprinkling
only shortens the life of the grass by
drawing the roots up near the surface
where it is easy for the hot sun to kill
them. He says: Soak the lawn once
q week and then don't sprinkle it be-
tween times. Take the nozzle of the
hose and lay the hose on the ground.
Turn on the water and let 1t soak up
q part of the lawn for half an hour.
Then move 1t to another spot and
keep on doing this until the entire
lawn has had thorough soaking. It
may take several nights to do this.
but in the end it pays. BY putting a
short length board under the end Of
the hose 50 that the water will not
strike the ground in heavy stream,
the washing out Of the roots will be
prevented. This method gives the
lawn a drink very much like it would
receive from soaking rain"
Local rules prevent people who use
water at fat rate from sprinkling
without nozzle on the hose. Those
who have meter service can use as
much as they desire. ..
