simply to grow more pigs-double the

easily done.
There was in the past a better de-

ALFALFA FOR SHEEP.

duces Cost Of Fattening.

Juices SOSI OF fattenlnS.
Alfalfa hay has been found superior
to other roughages for sheep because of
its palatability and the nutriment it
carries, asserts a. NJ. Paterson. instruc-
tor in animal %husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Alfalfa when of good quality not
only nswer for roughage, but also
serves as a partial substitute for grain
and thus materially reduces the cost
of fattening sheep.
Alfalfa is primarily a hay and not a
pasture plant. While it may be grazed
with success in arid regions this prac-
tice means certain failure in some Of
the eastern states. Sheep are particu-
larly severe on alfalfa pasture because
they Craze S o closely. Extreme care

How Centipedes Walk.

An eminent authority has Investigate
ed the peculiar wavy motion Of cent?
pedes and millepedes to determine the
manne in which these animals man
age to use their superabundant pedal
extremities so gracefully and harmo-
nfously. 1t has been found that he
legs move in groups or waves, each
wave including a definite number of
legs. The number of waves included
in the length Of the body is constant
for each species. In millepedes the
waves Of each side are ~synchronous.
In centipedes they are symmetrically
alternate, giving rise TO beautifully ac-
cordant movements. The difference
may be explained by suggesting that
the millepede moves like a pacing
horse. the centipede like a trotter.

Foot and Mouth Disease.

The biggest trouble in keeping foot
and mouth disease under control lies in
the fact that hogs carry it with symp-
toms which we are not likely to read
correctly. says the Farm and Fireside.
A common symptom of the disease is
sore mouth. and all cases Of sore mouth
should act as a'arm signals. Hogs
have infectious Srrc mouth which is
not foot and mouth disease. and sore
mouths often accompany hog cholera.
Sore feet are not so very uncommon
even in the absence of infectious dis
ease. Yet sore feet + a symptom Of

BRANDING Criminals.

The branding Of criminals was abol-

ment was inflicted in open court, gen
orally in the presence of the judge,
the necessary implements-the iron

gripper for keeping the hand steady
being always in readiness. The usual
brand was an "R" applied to the left

Langdon People Should Learn to Detect the

Langdon people should learn to De-

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
many. Disordered kidneys often Gre

and dizzy spells may occur and the
victim is often weighted down by a

can be raised in Georgia according to
government experts, at from IL to
3 IL cents per pound as against to 3
cents per pound in the west, to which
must be added when we buy western
meats the freight and the profit to the
packers. Cattle can be raised in ratio
equally as cheap"
Among those who will enter actively
into the campaign will be Wilmer L.

gia chamber: II. G. Hastings, who has
been one of the largest financial sup
porters of the work and one of the
strongest workers in the state for di-

zens of the state, who will be assigned
special departments of the campaign
work
If the campaign succeeds, said Mr..
Clarke, the cotton raised in Georgia
this year will be clear profit above ac-
tual cost of production and this cost
will be materially reduced by the use
of home-raised foodstuffs.
The working force of the chamber
has been materially increased to handle
the campaign. and many of its loyal
supporters who have not been actively
engaged in work for the organization
will be called upon for hard service
within the next few months
Within thirty days or sooner. the
chamber will be prepared to supply to
the various county speakers who can
explain in detail the plans which have
been so successfully woked in Coweta
county and which can be easily adapted
to any and all counties of the state,
said NJ Clarke.
The cost of the campaign is to be
paid out of the regular subscription
funds of the organization, and may ne
cessitate a very greatly increased in
come said Mr.. Clarke, but it is believed
that there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing the funds necessary to carry
on the work.

Sea Island cotton, as you know, sue
cumbs readily to the wilt disease. In
fact. this fungus threatened at one
time TO destroy the Sea Island cotton
industry. The planters in the Sea Is
lands observed, however, that some va
rieties were more easily destroyed than
others. Therefore they decided to Sc
lect seeds and in this way develop a
strain resistent to the wilt disease. BY
securing seed of this character we be-
lieve you can secure Sea Island cotton
successfully on land infested with the
fungus which produces the wilt disease.
OF course if this land is badly infest-
ed ii would be well to plant ii to corn
another year, but do not use any cow
peas unless you can secure one of the
varieties which is resistent to the Ne
matode worm. You will find the Brab-
ham and the Iron satisfactory to grow
on land infested with wilt as the Nema-
tode worm does not attack them.
While the Nematode worm does not
convey the wilt disease to clifton plants,
If there are large numbers of them
present in the soil they are likely to
attack the roots of the cotton and by
abrading them, allow the spires to get
access to the water carrying vessels
OF the cotton plant, eventually causing
it TO succumb to what is known as the
wilt disease.

Court Says Mule
Kick Is Matter of
Plain KnoWLedge

FRANKFORT, KY, April 16.-The
kicking propensity of mule is a mat
ter of common knowledge" held the
court of appeals here Friday in re-
versing a verdict of $500 damages
awarded ]. NJ. Pratt against the Con-
solidation Coal company. From the
testimony it appeared that Pratt, an en-
ploye of the company, was kicked by a
mule when he struck the animal WITH
a whip as he stopped behind it.
The mule would have been untrue to
itself and false to every tradition of it's
breed if it had kept its heels on the
ground" said the court, "and an en-
ploye cannot court danger by inviting
a mule to kick him and then recover for
consequent injuries" 1t was brought
out that Pratt had never before driven
anything but oxen.
