FEEDER EASILY MADE.
viii Hold approximately Twenty
Bushels of Ear Corn.
So Arranged That Hogs Can Get at

A self-feeder for hogs, which will
hold approximately 20 bushels of ear
corn, is easily made. The crib has
a base by 4 feet, and is 4 feet
high. 1t is built on solid frame of
pinch lumber and covered with 6-inch
crib siding for the walls, and ship
lap for the roof. The siding should
be spaced inch apart for ventilation.
Surrounding the base is a trough /
inch wide with a fender on its outer
edge made Of lumber by 4 inches.
The corn is detected into the trough
by a pyramldal arrangement in the
crib, as shown in the cut. Its flow is
further regulated by an adjustable
slide held in place by bolts with
winged nuts. The trough is sheltered
somewhat by the overhanging roof,
made from boards 3 feet long. One
section Of the roof should be hinged
for filling. The feeder should be built
on skids or runners so that 1t may be
hauled about the lots to any desired

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO AID
Experimental Post Roads Of Different
Types Now Under Construction
In Many States.

-Four hundred and sixty-five miles Of
experimental post roads of different
types, benefting % different coun-
ties, are now under construction
In ID states, which are cooperating
with the federal government. These
roads, which are being built under the
supervision of the department of ag-
riculture, are authorized by the act
OF congress which appropriated $780,
700 for the post Office department for
experiments to test out the value OF
improved rural carrier routes. The
federal government pays one-third and
the state or county benefited must de-
fray two-thirds of the cost. AS rapid
ly as these roads are constructed the
department Is endeavorlng ITO interest
the local authorities In inaugurating
systematic malntenapce to keep these
roads In condition. The Virginia au-
thorides agreed to maintain the new
roads built In that state, and It is be-
leved that this local maintenance sys-
TEN will be extended to the post roads
to be built in Maine, Tennessee, Texas
and Alabama.

vERMIN IN CHICKEN HOUSES
Both Young Chicks and Sitting Hen
Are Likely to BE Attacked by
Pests During Summer.
By E. P. CLAYTON. Mississippi Ex,
pertinent Stationl

CBy E. P. CLAYTON. Mississippi Ex,
pertinent Statlon.)
Healthy chicks develop into the
moneymakers of the flock. If the
young chicks are dropping around and
looking sick. examine them for lice
and mites. Both the young chicks and
the sitting hen are likely to be at
tackled by these pests at this time of
the year.
II lice are found, pull them off with
the fingers and kill them, then rub a
little grease on top of the head and
under the throat. Be careful not to
get too much, as much grease is dan
gerous for the young chick. The old
hens and ROSTERS may be dipped In a
solution Of IL parts creOlin to 9Sls
parts water.
To get rid Of mites spray with pure
kerosene local oily all the roosting
places, poles, dropping boards and
fests. Repeat within a week to get
all eggs they may hatch. Remember

CARE FOR HARNESS PROPERLY
Most Farmers Give This Part Of
Equipment Scant Attention Dur.
Ing the Busy Months.

While 1t is generally conceded to
be the best plan to care for the har.
ness properly throughout the entire
year, most farmers give this part of
their farm equipment scant attention
during the busy months. AS long as
the harness holds together and will
give service, the work-harness is
thrown on to the horses backs day
after day, and no more thought is
given 1t. However, when the busy
days are over, there Is no excuse for
not giving the harness little special
attention. 1t is a good plan to wash
the dirt and grease from the straps
at least once year, and then give
them a good oillng and working until
the leather Is soft and pliable. Buckles
should be oiled so they can be handled
easily.

LICE KILLER is INEXPENSIVE
Rope Saturated With Kerosene and
Fastened Around Post VIII Prove
Quite Effective.

A Washington farmer has found the
following a good scheme for killing
lice on hogs. Set a round posi- in
the ground and leave 1t three feet
above the ground. Fasten a tin can
on top. Fasten a large rope in the
can and let 1t run out over the top
down the post and run it round and
round the post at the right height for
the hogs to rub. Fill the can with
kerosene. Soak the rope first with
kerosene. The kerosene will follow
the rope out over the can, and the
hogs will do the rest.
A good plan is to make a large
shade near the oller. This should be
large enough so that the sun will not
shine on much of the ground and high
enough so that man can walk under.
1t can be made cheaply by setting
posts in the ground and covering them
with brush and old hay or straw. You
won't need any "hog wallow" with this
arrangement.

USE CARE WITH STRAWBERRY
Easy Matter to Grow Crop, but An
other Thing to Setback In
Attractive Manner.

It is an easy matter to grow a crop
of strawberries, but quite another
thing to sell them proftably. Straw
berries to sell must be packed carefully
In boxes and placed on the market
soon thereafter.
Few towns are well supplied with
Strawberries during the strawberry
season. Any individual who will plant
one to five acres will find ready mar
ket for all his product at home. For
home market strawberries should be-
very nearly ripe when picked; but for
shipping they should be picked a little
greener.
1t Is an easy matter to pick small
area, but when several acres have to
be picked over every day, 1t is not
so easy. Shortage Of help is the main
trouble.
When picking for shipping a field
should be picked every day, if possible,
but for home market to pick over the
same ground every other day Is often
enough. 1t is well to see that the
boxes are well filled.

NATAL GRASS FOR HAY
Most Valuable Crop for Sandy
Soils Of Florida.
Should Also Prove Successful Along
Gulf Coast to Southern Texas-
OF Quick, Vigorous Growth
and Heavy Yields.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Natal grass, In the opinion OF spe-
ciallsts of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, is the most valu-
able hay grass for the sandy soils of
Florida that has yet been found. 1t
should also prove successful along
the Gulf coast to southern Texas, and
further tests of the plant in Arizona
and California would be desirable. The
hay from this grass is of excellent
quality for feeding purposes, somewhat
richer In protein than timothy, attrac-
tive In appearance, and very palatable.
In those markets In which 1t is known
It now brings as much as, and some
times even more, than timothy. As 1t
Is still unfamiliar In most sections of
the country, however, the demand for
It can be extended only by Offering
hay of bright color and well cured.
A quick, vigorous growth and heavy
yields are characteristics of Natal
grass. From two and one half to three
tons per acre is the average produc-
ton for the year, but double these
quantities are sometimes secured. On
the other hand the grass cannot be
recommended for permanent pasture
since It does not grow well unless the
land has been recently plowed. 1t
can be grown on many kinds of soils,
but reseeds itself freely only on we'll
drained sandy types. Moreover, 1t re-
uuires long and warm season for II
10 grow, and severe winters prevent
natural reseeding. On this account it
is not likely to become of much impor-
lance as a first crop except along the
Gulf coast and perhaps in Arizona
and California, although it is possible
20 grow II as far north as Washington,
ID. O.
In planting Natal grass 1t is best to
put the ground in the best possible
condition before sowing the seed.
The surface should be made as fine,
mellow, and even as possible. If the
soil is heavy or cloddy 1t should be
narrowed thoroughly, and If the Geld
has been used for crops grown In rows
II should be disked and narrowed I'M
I'll no trace OF these rows can be seen.
A common practice is to pillow the
ground after the last cutting In the
fan and to plant it TO oats or some
winter truck crop. After the crop has
been removed In the 1pring, the land
Is given a shallow blowing or dlsking
and Is narrowed until smooth. With

"All breeding stock and young ami
mails need liberal amounts If nutri-
tious feeds that will develop and main
tain muscle and boney said II. l..
Shields, head Of the division Of ami
NAL husbandry and dairying of Glenn
son college, making suggestions for
the care and feeding Of hogs, with spe-
cial reference to brood sows and pigs.
Professor Shields suggests the follow
ing feeding practices to the average
farmer who is establishing hog plant
this autumn or winter.
"The brood SOW must receive care
full attention. She must be kept In
good condition during CESSATION, or
the period of the development of her
pigs, but one should not allow her to
become fat. The sow must have ex-
ceptional care If she Is to produce
two filters year. Suitable ratiOns
for the brood sow consist Of, first,
equal parts by weight of ground corn,
wheat middlings and ground oats;
or second, equal parts by weight OF
rice meal, wheat middlings and
ground oats, or third, equal parts by
weight Of rice meal and ground oats.
Either rice meal or wheat middlings
may be used as part of ration of
feeds If preferable. Wheat bran may
be used as part Of ration OF ma
ture breeding hogs. Bran is too
bulky to constitute the entire ration.
Skim milk and buttermilk are ex-
cellent for both growing and mature
hogs and should be used when avail
able.
"Rely on grazing crops to supply the
bulky portion of the ration, as such
feeds aid in keeping the hogs In
thrifty condition. They balance the
ration, reduce the cost Of pork pro-

ductlon, generally compel exercise,
ward off constipation and reduce dis
eases to a minimum. Rape, wheat, oats
and rye sown In the fall furnish ex-
cellent winter grazing. Vetch may
be used to advantage with any of the
grains. Bur and crimson clover sown
on Bermuda sod are especially recon-
mended. When the clover dies out the
Bermuda grass will replace 1t and can
be grazed until frost. Cowpeas, soy
beans, peanuts and sorghum sown in
May will furnish grazing in late sum
mer and early fall.
IF given an opportunity pigs will
soon learn to eat. They should be
weaned when about seven weeks old
If skim milk can be given them and
1t Is desired to raise two filters a
year. Otherwise they may be allowed
to run with the SOW until ten weeks
old or even longer. The sow should
have only dry feed for several days
If the pigs are taken away from her
instead of allowing her to wean them
herself. The weaned pigs need good
concentrates that are rich In mus
Gle and bone-making material to insure
thrifty development, but get them on
their feed gradually, as overlooking
will produce securing, etc. Take from
ten to twelve days In getting them ad.
justed to the change, feeding them
lightly three times daily during this
time. RatlOns recommended for young
pigs are, first, skim milk and wheat
middlings; second, one part ground
grain of some kind to two parts of
wheat middlings or rice meal. Ground
oats and rice meal make a splendid
mixture. Feed pigs about as much
as they win clean up readily and with
appetite.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-07-21

this plan no reseedlng is necessary to
an old field Of Natal grass, as the
fall blowing buries the scattered seed
In the ground. On fields treated In
this way the first cutting for hay can
be made in about two months after the
spring dlsklng, and later cuttings from
six to eight weeks apart. If the truck
crop-melons for examples not
planted until early spring, the grass
will be later in maturing. In such
cases a little care and cultivation will
leave the ground sufficiently smooth
for the use of a moving machine, and
the hay can be cut about two months
after the last cultivation of the truck
crop.
1t is desirable to pillow the Natal
grass field every two years. If the
ground is not plowed in the fall, ear
lier cuttings can be made In the spring,
but after the second or third year
other grasses and weeds will come
in and the quality Of the hay
will deteriorate. Without fall plow-
ing the growth of the plants In the
spring is also uneven at the time of
the first cutting and some Of the stems
will be old and dry and others only
partly grown.
Natal grass seed is always sown
broadcast, as the seeds are apt to
stick together and will not feed even.

the seeds are dampened and mixed

planters think 1t better to leave the

ASSIST HOGS IN DIGESTION
Animal Doesn't Root Out of Mischief,

A great many think hog roots just

The animal roots for worms, roots,
and earthly salts, which 1t finds in
the soil and which aid him in diges-

way when man is foolish enough to
neglect him.

that we give the hogs, there is too lit

or oyster shells should be provided
