To make hog production most profit
able, the farmer should provide pas
ture for his hogs whenever possible,
The earlier in the year green feed can
be supplied the better. Swine of any
age relish green feed, and its use al
ways reduces the cost of produc-
ing gains on hogs. In addition, 1t
keeps the animals in good, thrifty con-
dition. The information given in this
article. however, applies only to the
northern part of the United States,
particularly those states and sections
of 'ithtes lying north of parallel 80.
The best crops to seed in early
spring are wheat, oats, rye, barley,
rape, Canadian field peas and vetch.
Auy of the cereals do well planted
sjnsly or in combination with rape,
Canadian peas and vetch. In certain
sections, where these crops will sur
vive the winter, they can be sown the
previous fall. In sections where 1t is
impossible to maintain n stand over
winter, the crops mentioned can be
sown in early spring as soon as the
ground is fit.
The pigs should be turned in to pas
ture the cereal crops when the plants
attain height of about six to eight
inches, and taken off when the plants
reach such height that the pigs be

gin to spit the chewed material from
their mouths. This is because the
percentage of crude fiber, the indiges-
tible part of the plant, increases rap
idly as the plants grow larger. Green
wheat, oats, rye and barley are gen
orally classified as carbonaceous
rouGhages. When young, however,
these contain high percentage of
protein, and should be classified as nj
trogenous roughages in the early
stages of growth. Because the small
grains when young are so nutritious
and are green when frost has killed
clover, they are ideal plants to grow
for pigs during late fall and early
spring.
Canadian Field Peas.
Canadian field peas, when sown in
conjunction with some other kind of
grain Goats, rye, etc) make an excel
lent early crop for hogs. The seed
should be sown in April or early May,
and if conditions are right the crop
will he ready to pasture in about thirty
or forty days. Hogs clean up the peas
and vines very well. The vines that
are left on the ground, together with
the manure, enrich the soil and add
more humus to it. The great value of
peas as a pasture for swine is far too
little understood.
Hairy Vetch.
Hairy vetch is legume of increas-
ing Importance, especially as II forage
for hogs 1t flourishes to "A surprising
degree in Washington, Oregon and the
southern states. The seed should be
sown in the fall with rye or oats. Oc-
tober is the best month in which TO
plant this crop. When the winters are
too severe. vetch is not generally
grown. 1t succeeds wherever Cana
dian field peas do well, but the field
peas are usually preferable.
Rape.
Rape as a forage crop is highly rec
commended for hogs whenever 1t can
he grown successfully. 1t should not
be planted in the fall of the year with
the expectation of its surviving the
winter. In most localities 1t is DeSt
to sow rape in April or May. If there
is enough moisture in the soil to ger
inmate the seed, it is generally ready
to pasture in about six weeks. When
pigs are put on rape, 1t generali9
takes them some time before they ac
quirc taste for it. Young pigs u'
not make as good use of rape pastur'
as older ones. The hogs should no

Rotterdam harbor in some ways is
more picturesque than the harbor Of
New York. There are no fringing
skyscrapers, but there is as much life
and movement, more color and con.
trast, finer sweep of line and group

surround it, the quaint craft that ply
up and down, the flying bridges that
close many of the distant vistas. all
these combine with the rich color OF

smacks more of the seafaring of ro-

CANADA AGAIN
A PRIZE winner
Highest Premiums Awarded at
Many Exhibitions.

The Fall fair season is past ana Il
retrospect of them shows that Western
Canada is stronger than ever in the
matter of exhibits, and has taken more
than her usual share of the prize
money. From Western Canada to
Texas is long look, from Alberta
Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the
southwestern corner OF Texas is sew
eral days journey. but the enterprisinS
farmers from this new country to the
northwest were wide awake to the
possibilities that waited them mt the
International Dry Farming Congress
held at El Paso, Texas, Il few weeks
ago, to bring to the attention of those
in that far-off corner what the land of
Western Canada could do in the pro
duction of grains and roots from Its
soil. And what did these farmers dof
The first thing was to carry off the
first prize and sweepstakes for wheat.
That was II foregone conclusion, for II
has now become an established fact that
nowhere else in the world is there
grown wheat of the high character and
market value of Western Canadian
wheat The same may be said of oats,
of barley and of rye. But when it came
to notice that Western Canada took
first prize for alfalfa, il was then that
more special attention was given to
the products from Western Canada. 1t
showed that in that country there lies
the opportunity for supplementing the
wonderful native grasses, so full of nu-
triton that with the tanned varieties,
among them being alfalfa, the cattle
with no other food were fattened and
fitted for the shambles. Western Can
adas worth was proved as probably
the greatest mixed farming portion of
the continent When the steers from
the Western Canadian prairies reach
the Chicago stockyards they bring
the top price and outweigh those from
other places where grass fattening is
the process. But 1t was not only in
grains that Western Canada carried
off the highest honors at the FL Paso
exhibition. Potatoes, parsnips, beets,
carrots and rutabagas also took the
highest honors. In root production
this country is becoming favorably
known.
The question often arises as TO mar
kets. There is always the highest
price awaiting the producer, and as
soon as the Hudson Bay Railway, now
about completed, reaches the Bay,
there will be an additional outlet for
the product of the farm. The Pacific
coast route via the Panama canal, will
give another outlet of which full ad-
vantage may be taken. With virgin land
selling at from SO to $50 per acre, and
improved farms Mt reasonable prices
and on easy terms, there is no better
opportunity for the man with limited
means and n desire to secure Il home
mt the least cost in country where
he can soon become wealthy, as thou
sands of others have done, than in
Western CANADA. To the man with less
means and who is prepared to accept
n farm of 100 acres free, the Domin-
ion Government offers him his choice
in districts that have land of the high
est type, but mt present being from ten
to twenty miles from railway.

BELIEVE PASSENGER
PURPOSELY LEAPED
IN GULF OF MEXICO
OFFICERS FROM THE STEAMER
TARPON THINK BIRMINGHAM
MAN HAD PLANNED TO JUMP
FROM DECK OF VESSEL.

According to the impressions
cleaned from all circumstances sur
rounding the strange disappearance
of b. Taylor Smith from the deck Of
the steamer Tarpon, some time after
midnight of Sunday, while that yes
sci was on her way to Mobile, it. is
believed that the Birmingham man
purposely leaped into the water, and
that he had planned, even before Ieay-
ing here, to so end his existence.
The purser, Mr.. Anderson, said
yesterday that Mr.. Smith purchased
transportation late Sunday, and, COM
ing aboard a short time before the
steamer left for Mobile, especially re-
quested a berth or state room as
near the stern of the boat as possible.
In this there was nothing out of the
ordinary, however, for it is not infre-
quent that such requests are made by
passengers. AS late as midnight,
when one of the engineers left his
watch, Mr.. Smith was known to have
been in his state room, for the en-
gineer distinctly remembers having
noticed that he sat reading, after he
had left the engine room and was on
the way to his own bunk. Therefore,
it is believed, he disappeared after
midnight, and while the Tarpon was
about half way to Mobile.
Another theory advanced yesterday
was that the traveller was sonam-
bulist, or sleep-walker, and that,
doing off from his reading, had at
tempted to go out on decks. The
weather was not heavy, and the
steamer was ploughing her way along
at the usual speed, so that disposes of
any theory that the vessel may have
given lurch which had the effect of
throwing him into the water, in the
dark.
A message was received from a
Mrs. Smith, at GAINESVILLE, O., yester-
day, which requested a thorough in
vestigation of her husbands disap-
pearance. 1t is believed she will make
a trip here at once.
The missing man was. secretary and
general manager of the Peoples
Homestead Company, and was also
interested in the Dixie Real Estate
Company, both with headquarters in
Birmingham. Associates and officials
of that company were yesterday adj
vised by wire that Mr.. Smith was
missing, and it is believed a repre-
sentative of one or both of the COM
panies named will come here to look
into the missing mans affairs.

valuables, the property of Mr.. Smith,
We're found intact in his stateroom,
indicating that there was no room for
any belief that there had been any
violence.

he was improved and that he would

SMACK REPORTED
Loss OF RUDDER
THE HALCYON, WHICH ANCHOR
ED OFF THE BAR MONDAY
NIGHT, WAS SLIGHTLY DIS
ABLED DURING BAD WEATHER

During spell Of heavy weather
a few nights ago, the smack Halcyon,
Of the Warren Company's feet, lost
her rudder, and anchored off the bar.
She remained for the night at that
anchorage, and hoisted her flag, sum-
moning tug. The Halcyon remained
all night and early yesterday a tele-
hone message from Barrancas to the
city announced that the smack was in
distress, and wanted a tug.
That message was communicated to
the captain of the tug Flanders and
that vessel started TO the assistance
Of the Halcyon. Before reaching the
smack, however, the fve-mast schoon-
er, Margaret Haskell, was sighted,
and instead of the ten-dollar tow, the
tug secured about a $500 tow.
Later in the afternoon the tug Dixie
went down the bay after the Halcyon,
returning with the distressed fishing
schooner shortly before 2 o'clock. Ae-
cording to the stories told by mem
bers of the crew, the rudder post was
lost, and the smack was of course
unmanageable, but outside of that ex-
perienee, she came into port unharm-

day or two, but that he would be here

IF he met his death in the gulf, I
am confident he fell overheard when
seized with one of those attacks. He

end his life.
He was great reader, sitting up
until midnight nearly every night

go to the public library. He was about
sixty years old. This news will be an
overwhelming shock to his wife,"

month spent in Virginia yesterday

about Mr.. Smith. "He was a fine

AND TWO OTHERS May BE

A good impression viii be derived
of the usefulness and promising fu-
ture of the G., f.. g. A. docks today
by the prominent financiers who are
expected to reach there this morning
on the special over the Deep Water
Route, for there are at least half a
dozen sea-going vessels now at that
company's piers, and before nightfall
there will be two additional big yes
sells to take berths there. Last night
orders were issued for the Italian
bark Maria G to be shifted over to
the new railroad company's piers,
where cargo will be delivered. Later
in the day, it was stated late yester-
day, the five-masted schooner Mar
garet Haskell, which went up to
quarantine yesterday upon arrival,
will also be berthed there to receive
cargo, for Italian ports.
The largest sailing vessel in the
bay is now berthed at the east side of
the Deep Water Routes terminals.
This is the Russian bark Marlborough
Hill. The Norwegian steamer Made
ras is taking cargo there, while fur
Their north on the same side of the
pier is the bark Oropa and another
vessel. All points out the fact that
the Deep Water Route is just what
its name indicates.
In addition to the ships which are
berthed there, work Of building the
warehousing shed has. been started,
and several panels in this work have
been erected.

bar yesterday afternoon, and the tug
Flanders, which went down the bay
IN response to a notice that a fishing
smack desired tow because of a

late this afternoon, and will be ready
to come over at that time.
The Margaret Haskell is one of
the largest schooners to have been
here in some time, and is the only
vessel now in port Boosting of being
fitted with five spars. She is nearly
three hundred feet long, and is said
to haye recently been sold to Italian
