both spring and fall. With this table in
hand a farmer can easily figure out what
crops are best adapted to his needs II
insure a rotation which will be suitable
TO his climatic and soil conditions and
which will afford him the required
amount of grazing during practically
every month of the year. This table

great value to every farmer.
FEEDING VALUE OF CORN
SLOWER.
SB B. Byromville. Ca, writes: What
i your opinion Of the value OF corn stoyerE
Some say that il increases the Weld from
five TO twenty-five per cent. We have
baled ours heretofore. Don't you think
Il would be Of better feeding value TO
bale il IL is shredded What is the
analysis of the dry stalk II LEFT IN the
field stripped Of the corn and fodder? We
have quite a large acreage Of corn that we
are planning 10 make into corn slower
this fall.
IL has been pretty clearly established
that the pulling of fodder is a poor
practice and lessons the amount of nu-
trients which would otherwise be elab-
Grated by the crop to such an extent
that the loss due TO the shrinkage OF
grain alone amounts TO 10 to 20 per cent.
II is a mistake to interfere with the
life processes of the corn plant to pull
the fodder just at a time wnen ii is
considered most desirable and impor-
tant. Investigation shows. for instance,
that about % per cent of the crude pro-
tein and 81 per cent Of the total di-
gestible nutrients are in the slower. 1t
would certainly seem worth while,
therefore, to save one-fourth Of the di-
gestible nutrients in the corn crop. espe-
cially since the whole plant can be cut
and bound in sheaves with the corn
harvester and set up in shocks and field
cured and then the corn husked out
and the fodder shredded and baled at one
operation. The question of baling fodder
directly from the machine depends alto
gether on seasonal conditions and the
proper curing Of the fodder. in a dry
fall II is easily practicable TO do this.
II there is considerable moisture in
the crop il would be rather dangerous
10 bale IL until il had dried out con-
siderably. II one has a large shed or
loft in which the fodder can be shred

BELIEVE GIRL MURDERED
IN MOST UNUSUAL WAY
Doctors Think Injection of Air
Into Artey-CauSed Death
of Miss Radcliffe
(By Associated Press. }

OLNEY, Ill, July 26.-When a small
air bubble burst in an artery under
pressure of a physicians knife the first
chain of evidence against Roy Hinter-
letter, who brought the body OF Miss
Elizabeth Radcliffe to a sanitarium here
last Friday night in buggy, was said
by prosecuting authorities today to
have been welded. The death of the
Radcliffe girl is said by medical au
thorities to be without parallel if it de-
velops a crime actually was committed.
A coroner's jury yesterday held Hinter-
liter responsible for the girls death.
Hinterliter and the girl went driving
last Friday and the girl is said to have
died under an old elm tree two miles
from town.
An autopsy showed no marks of Vio-
ience. but it developedlthat the girl was
soon to become a mother. Examina-
tion failed to reveal any attempt at an
illegal operation. One of the examining
doctors then stuck a probe into an
artery and bubble burst. 1t was said
by the physicians that only two things
would cause embolism in the arteries,
faulty injection by a hypodermic needle
or a lesion of a lung. There was no
needle mark nor lesion of the lungs
The brain was found to be full of
water.
Further evidence of the states theory
was furnished when a man from a
neighoorIng town came to States At
torney Morris office with package con-
tanning an instrument used in perform
ing illegal operations. He said 1T had
been found under the elp tree. SherIn
West visited the spot and found marks
Of struggle in the sandy soil.
Instead OF using the instrument as
intended 1t as maintained by physicians
that it was used as an untitled hypo-
dermic needle and that a small artery
was punctured.

WILL EAT CHRISTMAS
TURKEY ON THE BORDER
Preparations Being Made at
Washington for Long Serv-
ice tor GuardSmen
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 26.-Pre-
diction by national guard officers on the
border that the militiamen would eal
their Christmas turkey within sight OF
the Mexican border instead of at home
with the rest of the family are borne
out by the state of affairs at Washlng-
ton.
The government has not adopted any
definite course of action as to the stay
of the citizen soldier and will not I'M
til the Mexican outlook has cleared up
Then, and not until then, will the au-
thorities here get down to the question
of dispensing the guardsmen. No ore
with any knowledge of the intricacies
of Mexican affairs is in position TO say
whether there will be a clearing up
such as is being worked for at this time;
no one can say that the danger Of in
tervention has been averted and there is
ample evidence that the danger of bandit
incursions over the American line WI!
easily become acute again If the border
vigil is relaxed in any way
Under these circumstances the gov
eminent is making no attempt to work
out time limit for the national guard.
1t all depends on contingencies that can
not be discounted in advance. The i'm
preston among guardsmen that their
services on patrol duty would be limited
to three months has disappeared in the
face of preparations for a prolonged
tour of duty.
The diplomatic negotiations between
the American and Mexican governments
upon which depends peaceful relations
are progressing very slowly. The per-
sonnet of the American commission that
is to meet with the commission which
will come from Mexico City, has not been
determined. This and other things indi-
cate quite fully that questions at issue
will string along until after the cleo
tons
Another factor is the desire to thor
oughly season the national guard in the
federal service and inure them to
hardship of first-class soldiers.

The growing interest in pork produc-
ton now witnessed throughout the
southeastern states can not be too high
" commended Meat is one Of the most
Important elements OF the human
dietary. aud * can not be produced on
the farm more cheaply than through
the agency OF hogs The tendency OF
the times is for the price of meat to
increase, a condition which is likely TO
be intensified as time passes by rea-
son OF the greater demand for meat
products throughout the world and be-
cause OF our rapidly growing population
at home. II is clearly recognized, for
reasons which need not be enumerated
at the present time, that the hog al
fords the average farmer the greatest
opportunity to become a meat producer
Therefore. anything which throws light
on ways and means OF lessening the cost
Of pork production becomes a matter of
national concern
For a long time this industry has
been more or less neglected in the suth
because Of the appalling destruction
wrought in southern herds by cholera,
but the use OF preventive serum under
rational conditions has shown that this
disease can be controlled, and with the
growing interest in better strains OF
hogs due 10 the work Of the pig clubs,
better breeding and foundation stock
is rapidly being disseminated II has
long been recognized that the climatic
conditions pertaining in the south and
the great variety OF crops which can
be produced for the maintenance Of hogs
should enable US 10 raise pork at
minimum cost Probably what has been
accomplished in this direction is not
even vet fully appreciated. and the pur-
pose OF this article is 20 throw some
light on this very important matter, and
20 indicate what crops can be grown
for the maintenance Of hogs during
practically every month in the year.
The matter OF grazing crops is of
supreme Importance. for il was long
ago demonstrated that where these can
be utilized the cost Of pork production
can be materially reduced. Moreover,
in spite Of the wonderful increase in the
production OF corn and other cereals
which has been witnessed in the soutn
in the last few years. we are still short
on grains suitable for the fattening OF
hogs. and therefore. should and must
depend largely on grazing crops.
