SUGGESTIONS TO HOG GROWERS
CONCERNING SPRING AND
SUMNER CROPS.

onstrations in hog raising or others
who are growing pigs as a part OF
their farming l beg to suggest a few
things that should be done right away
or for which plans should be made,
loking to succession and an ample
supply of grazing crops during the
summer and fall months.
We assume that all have planted
oats that are being grazed at this
time, and that will continue to fur
Enish the greater portion of their pas
turage until June. In the absences of
Bermuda grass, clover or alfalfa for
June and early July grazing, a por-
ton of the oat field may be allowed
to come to maturity and used as a
very satisfactory pasture during this
off period. Another crop that may be
utilized for this period is sorghum.
Prepare small area Of land and plant
to early amGer sorghum the latter
part of March or early in April. IT
should be ready to craze early in
June. Do not expect young pigs to
make much growth OF any of the
above mentioned crops without some
grain feed. They should have from
one to one and half pounds OF corn
or other grain per day for each 100
pounds live weight of pigs.
Corn and early peas should be the
crop to come in July; for this crop
select a good piece of land and pre-
pare it for planting at once. Plant
to Early Leaning or other quick ma
turing variety Of corn as soon as the
land can be made ready and the wea-
Their permits. After the corn is up
and has been given the first working,
plant row of New Era, Croft, or
WhlDporwill cow peas close up to the
corn. If your corn rows are Az or
o feet wide plant row of peas on
each side of the corn. Drill and give
the corn such cultivation as is Gus
tomary in your farming. Both the
corn and peas should be ready to turn
the pigs in by July Is, about one acre
of this crop for every ten pigs of 100
pounds will be ample for four to six
weeks grazing. When this crop is ex-
hausted another cowpea patch may
be in readiness to Craze. Following
the peas, soy beans will come on in
September and sweet potatoes will also
be available soon afterwards. Pea
nuts may be added to the list or sub
stituted for one of the above, but if
the hogs are to be shipped to the mar
xet for sale it would not be advisable
to Craze them on peanuts, since the
packers discriminate against peanut
fed hogs to the extent of one to two
cents per pound. This is due to the
fact that the feeding of his crop makes.
the meat too soft. The same discrim-
nation is made against mast fed hogs.
With sufficient area of the above
mentioned crops following in success
sion'and without any grain feed after
the middle Of July, spring pigs should
easily be brought to, market condi-
ton by late fall. Let everyone who
is growing pigs try these crops this
year.-W. R. Perkins.

WHEN DOES CAPCNIZlEG PAY1

by Richard n, Crane. Division OF Ex.
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
On many farms are cockerels that
have escaped marketing and have de.
yeloped a shaggy appearance. They
weigh from 22 to 9 pounds. In many
localities buyers pay hen prices or less
sor these chickens that are considered
STACEY.
In Tennessee we have an exception
ally good market for spring chickens
weighing IL to 2 pounds, and | be,
lieve it would pay us to market cock
Q . under 2 pounds rather than to
cayonize them. But when our cocker
els get beyond two pounds, and buyers
are not willing to use them at the
regular spring chicken price, 1t may
pay us to make capons of them and
carry them through the winter, dispos
ing of them in the early spring as
roasting chickens. Capons generally
sell for the same price as turkeys.

SIMPLE TRICK WILL
PREVENT A COLD
Number of Sick School Children Re
duced Where Health Nurses Instruct
the Pupils Relative to Diseases.

Colds may be prevented by knowiIs
how to blow your nose, according t
Mrs, Lena A. Warner, of the Division
of Extension, of the University of Ten
nessee.
Mrs. Warner has been studying the
question of health for a number OF
years and traces most of the colds that
hinder school children in their work
TO a lack of this fundamental knowl
edge.
"The first thing a boy or girl ought
to do upon getting up in the morning"
says Mrs. Warner, lis to blow his
nose. Then just before the school bell
rings do this again. While the chil'
IS young he forms the habit that he
will not forget later in life.
ITO blow the nose properly, the
handkerchief should be held loosely in
the palm and two forefingers OF the
hand. One should lean forward slight,
". Bury the rose in the handkerchief.
Int do not touch the nose with the
thumb or fingers. Draw III me breath,
then blow. Wipe the nose, then blow
again. Should one side of the nose NOT
feel clear, press the thumb against the
clear side and blow. Repeat until each
side feels clear and clean
In schools where health nurses are
engaged it has been shown that fol
lowing these simple suggestions de-
creases the number of colds among the
children.

Republican appeals. t was the gen
eral report from Ohio that business
men Their would not get interested in
politics, and all the Republican at
tempts to inflame them fell on unre-
sponsive ears. The Republican lit
erature" went begging, and the coun-
ty organizations could not be spurred
into iteresting themselves in mass
meetings, even when spakrs with
natioal rputatios' were promised.
1t was prosperity that brought about
Ohio's astounding reversal; the pros
perity of manufacturers, farmers, and
laborers, with the Adamson bill as a
clincher for the last named. The
prosperity of the farmer and the faar
of war made him vote for Wilson,
while the prosperity of tn Repub-
lican bushes man disinclined him
toward politics, and especially toward
"a change" however he might me
chanically keep up his party regular
ity. Two years before Ohio had
lectd Govrnor Willis and snt Hard
ing to the Senate, and her Demo
cratic alteration in electing and re
eelcting Governor Harmon seemed to
have bee a mere accident. Perhaps
it was an alteration, but her vote
for Wilson this year was not. She
astounded the nation just as Maine
did when she reversed herself and
went Dmocratic in 1910, blu for rea-
sons as good to her as were Names
to that State.-New York Tribune.
The Johnson City comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1916-1917, 1916-12-07
THE OVERTURN IN OHIO

Ohio was the political marvel OF
the Presidential election. Surrounded
by states that voted for Hughes, she
voted for Wilson. While States the
Republicans had considered doubtful
in previous elections went for
Hughes, Ohio, which in previous cleo
tons had seldom been considered
doubtful, went Democratic. Now the
plurality has been officially an
nounced, and the marvel " Increases.
For Ohio not only went fora Wilson,
but gave him a larger vote than she
had ever given any Presidential can
didate. even Theodore Roosevelt In
1904, who got 6O0.095, Mr.. Wilson his
var got 6O4,946. His plurality was
9O,110. Why should Ohio be a Demo
cratic island in the stretch of States
from the Atlantic to the MISSISSIPPI!
When the labor vote is mentioned,
it is objected objected that there is
a labor vote in Illinois and Indiana,
too. However, this is a superficial
objection. Because of Ohio's peculiar
position, geographically, the railroad
vote there is relatively, if not actually,
larger than in many other States IL
is a fact that does not admit of any
doubt, because it is too well II TOO
~yariously attested, that the Adamson
law cut a bigger figure in Ohio than
almost anywhere elese; far o
than in Connecticut, where it was eX-
pected to be so important that the
Republican leaders had gooseflesh
over it.
When industrial activity is men,
toned, it is objected that there is in
dustrial activity everywhere. But
Ohio has been transformed by the in
dustrial boom. The State is unrecog-
nizable by any Rip Van Wrinkle who
might come down from the mountains
now after a three years sleep. She
has become a beehive. New laborers
of unknown political antecedents
have moved in in large numbers. and
tehy had the Republica leaders
completely puzzled. The labor stu
alton. taking it in a larger view, has
wrought a transformation in the Ohio
viewpoint on public questions.
This, however, is only the oegin-
ming. The rural districts usually
give 10000 Republican pluraliy, but
this year they failed the Republicans.
The farmers were for Wilson, Agri-
cultural prosperity had done its work.
A month before election hogs We're
u cents and wheat was S1.54, anC
the farmers were enjoying a pros
perity they had not known for a long
time. They were strongly for the
maintenance of peace, ad when l'rcsi-
dest Wilson made his speech intimat-
ing that peace might not be main.
tanned under a Republican admins
tration the efefct on the farmers wa:
tremendous. No speech or ducumnt
of the whole campaign produced such
an effect in Ohio, though here i
passed almost unnoticed.
The last Republican chance was
with the business men, but the bust
mes men of Ohio we're lukewarm Il
