first heat produced speed. The field of
six was sent off by Starter Merrill
shortly after o'clock and BuGd Elliott,
the New Haven horse, led the way in
pretty fashion, finishing in 2.17 IL.
The second heat brought a shift OF
positions and Billy Lands red, with
Beau Dewey second. Lou Braden was
placed sixth because Of fouling. The
third heat was an easy win, after
number of false starts that Starter
Merrill stopped by threatening $50
fine for the first offender, for Silver
Heels, Beau Dewey taking second
place again. But though this was an
easy heat for the bay gelding, Budd
Elliott came back sturdily in the next
heat and repeated in the fifth, taking
the race and first money. Billy Ian

Agent, Maryland)
S. II. Gaitskill, Mcintosh, Fla,
came to the state in 1884 and began
growing oranges, but did not sell his
Kentucky farm for some years after
he came to Florida. He was quite well
satisfied with his orange-growing ven
ture until the freeze of 1895 killed all
of his trees. This freeze was a great
shock and the orange grower did not
know what to do. Mr.. Gaitskill started
to rebud and build up his grove, but
did not feel that 1t was advisable to
rely upon oranges for everything and
began to grow corn. hay and other
crops for man and beast. Prior to the
freeze he made no effort to grow feed,
but used some Of his orange money to
buy everything he needed. He soon
learned that he could grow very fine
crops of corn, hay, oats, peas and
other general farm crops and finally
decided to raise good live stock to
consume the crops grown. Having de-
cided to go into the livestock business
he sold his Kentucky farm and bought
an old sugar plantation adjoining his
farm and proceeded to make the grow
ing Of pork and beef his main work.

to Kentucky and bought some pure
bred Shorthorn bulls and q few pure
bred females and bred the native cows
to the Shorthorn bulls. Improvement
was very rapid and he now has very
fine lot of cattle, as the picture shows.
In the meantime he continued the
work of rebuilding his orange groves
and now has big trees in his large
orchards. He has INDUCED in some

says that vegetables must be given
the best care and attention at the
proper time. He is gradually quitting
all truck crops except watermelons.
He plants from 40 to so acres every
year and plants velvet beans in the
melon field at the last cultivation. The
velvet bean is q fine crop for fattening
all kinds of live stock and transfers
large quantities of nitrogen to the
soil.

He built his silo for the cows and
calves when the grass does not prove
sufficient to keep them in good con-

silo. but is used at any time during the
year when the silage Is needed.

MILK IS GOOD FOR CHICKENS
Available on Farm-Eneourages
Hens to Lay.

The most valuable poultry food
available on most farms is milk. Many
farmers feed all their surplus milk to
the hogs. Milk, when fed to the hogs,
makes flesh that sells for seven or
eight cents q pound. When fed to
poultry, especially during the winter
months, it makes eggs that sell for rs
cents a pound, and flesh that brings
twice the price ordinarily offered for
hogs. And besides, in discriminating
markets, milk-fed poultry always sells
for q premium.
Given all the milk they will con-
sumo, hens will lay we'll in season and

should be washed and scalded daily

RAPE At MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

Nrom the United States Department OF
Agrfculture.)
While the South and West are awak-
ing rapidly to the merits Of the hog.
and these sections are increasing their
output of pork and enlarging their
bank accounts. few farmers in New
England or the middle Atlantic states
are raising hogs on large scale.
Many of the farmers in these sections
hold that hog raising is not profitable,
and on many farms the hogs that are
raised are regarded as side-line rath-
er than as Offering an important source
Of income. In these eastern states 1t Is
estimated on January 1, 1916, there
were only 2.6S7 900 hogs, or about 4
per cent of the total of 6S,OO0,OOO re-
ported for the entire country.
The principal reason why hogs are
not raised more largely by eastern
farmers, the animal husbandry experts
farmers in this section have not yet
realized the value of cheaply grown
forage and pasture In swine produc-
ton. The general conditions in the
East offer opportunities for profitable
pork production, but not where hogs
are kept In pens 6 by 10 feet and fed
on grain alone, with no green feed ex-
cept occasional waste vegetables from
the table.
There seems also to be an impress
sion throughout the East that only
those farmers who have rich, level
land should raise hogs. As a matter
Of fact. the specialists say, hogs are
most easily handled on farms that are
somewhat rolling. For the production
Of grasses the upland farm Is often
about as good as the level one. There
Is generally better water supply, and
a billy farm Is likely to have more
shade. This does not mean that the
hill farmer has the better situation.
but in a great many instances he has
certain advantages which he does not
appreciate.
Advantages Offered by East
The eastern farmer is In the midst
Of top-notch markets for hogs. The
prices paid for hogs on the New York,
Jersey City. Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh markets are on an average high
er than the prices paid for hogs on
any Of the western markets. The
East is peculiarly adapted to hog rails
ing. in view of the fact that markets
for fresh pork and cured meats may be
found in local communities as well as
In the larger cities and the various
coast resorts.
Corn Is being grown successfully in
the East, and in some sections the av-
erage yield per acre is greater than
that Of the middle West. Clover. blue
