Don't Forget the Farm Flock.

According to the Clemson agricul-
tural college Of South Carolina, fresh
eggs are higher in price at this time
of the year than ever before. The
supply does not satisfy the insstent
demand. Eggs will be Scarce as
hens teeth" this winter and fortu-
nate indeed is the family which has
a flock of laying pullets or young
hens to supply the table with eggs.
Meat promises to be very high in
price. Eight eggs equal nH" pound
of sirloin steak in food value, says
Orange Judd Southern: Farming.
Buy a few more puiiets or young
hens, build an open-frone house or
shed with a small wired-in pen in
front of the house. Keep the chick
ems confined all the time unless they
have a good range to run on. Feed
them table scraps every morning and
twice 'laily scatter q handful for each
hen of the following grain mixture
Cracked corn two parts, wheat one,
whole oats one, and cowpeas two.
This is simple and satisfactory way
to feed hens for homemade produce

tuted for thc wheat and oats. but the
cracked '.'rn and whole cowpeas are
essential.

CHEAP HOG FEEDS

l.. w. Sumner in Southern Farming
The first essential in hog raising is
pasturagc. Hogs fed on dry lots, as
a rule, are not money-makers. Ber-
muda and bur clover sod are the best
for hogs in this section. This can be
made fairly we'll in II months.
Temporary pasture, such as soy
beans, velvet beans and peanuts are
needed. For winter grazing, rye,
rape, oats, etc, are indispensable to
one who would produce cheap pork.
On thin land, rye is the best Of these.
lnen comes oats. followed by wheat,
with rape last. Rape will simply not
grow well except on rich land.
The question has often been asked
as to why corn alone is not a salts
factory feed for gr6Wing hogs. The
answer to this is because corn does
not contain enough protein to build
up the body, neither does it contain
enough mineral matter. At the Ala
bama station hogs gained only five
pounds on corn alone fed for 120 days.
Wheat shorts, tankage and peanuts
or something of a nitrogenous noture
must be used with corn if leguminous
grazing crops are not available.
Wheat bran is all right for growing
hogs or brood sOws, but too bulky for
fatening hogs.
A light ration of corn IS needed for
hogs that are on pasture, in order
that the best use of pasture, in order
that the best use of pasture crops
may be made. Hogs should be fin
ishcd on dry feed from 20 to 80 days
after being taken off pasture, whether
the pasture is of grass, peanuts, or
what not. Soy bean meal and peanut
meal seem to produce fairly firm
flesh.

LIVE STOCK POSSIBILITIES

COTTON FARM ROTATIONS

The following rotations for cotton
farms have been recommended, SAYS
Orange Judd Southern Farming.
AS a one year rotation in Septem-
Der Abruzzi rye and vetch, or clover,
are sown in the cotton middlcs, and
dished both ways in March or April
Early in the spring, while the cover
crop is small, the rows are laid off
4 1-2 feet wide with q scooter, and
the scooter followed by a shovel in
the furrow. Then two burrows are
thrown over the shovel furrow with
turn plow, and left until planting
time. Then a small drag is run on
the bed, followed by planter. This
leaves 2-foot balk between the rows
Just before the rye heads disk
cultivator is run through the middles,
am the cover crop laid fiat. Then
a tlrn >p!ow is run down the middles
with the bar side toward the cotton,
and two furows are thrown over the
mlddlcs, covering the rye until it de-
Gays.
After this harrow or disk cuitiva
tor is run down the middles to keep
the weeds out until it is time to sow
the cover crop again.
For a two-year rotation cover
crop of rye and vetch, or clover is
sown between the rows of cotton in
September or early October The same
as in the onc-year rotation. The next
spring corn is planted with peas, or
peanuts and peas, SOwn between the
rows. After the corn has been har-
vestd, the peas are turned under, and
the field sown to winter rye, with
vetch or clover. This is done is Sep
TEN ber or early October, and the fol-
lowing spring cotton is again planted
AS three-year ro:ation is Septem-
Der or early October rye with vetch

cotton has boon taken out. In the
spring, this crop is tarned in, and
corn is planted with peas or peas

Tick in Bad Plight.

In all sections of the South farm
ers and cattlemen are putting forth
efforts to Eradicate the tick. In no
section is better work being done than
in Texas, where during August alone
740,751 cattle were dipped under fed
eral or state supervision. In July
760,846 cattle were dipped in that
state. The legislature of Mississippi
recently passed law requiring the
eradication of ticks in every county
in the state. However, the people Of
Mississippi are not waiting until
January 1, 1917, when this law be-
comes effective, to begin this work.
During August alone, 5,424 Dip
pings were made.--Orange Judd

RICHARD PAYS HIGH
TRIBUTE TO DARCY

New York, June Tick Rickard,
the man who took Lester Darcy under
his wing and advised and befriended
him when he first arrived In this
country, paid him one of the highest
tributes boxer has ever received,
When the news of Darcy's death in
Memphis was carried to Richard, he
said

The way he was treated in this cOun-

Richard sorrow at Darcy un.
timely death was genuine, for Tex

the most likablc men who has ever
been connected with boxing. He was
instrumental In bringing Darcy here,
for he knew Les would be a great at
traction, and he had hoped to pro
mote several bouts featuring the
Maitland boy.
But Richard had no thought Of
managing Darcy's affairs. He did
not bring him to this country for that
purpose, though during the first few
weeks of Darcys sojourn in New York
Richard gave him much sound advice
and did everything possible to help
him.
That Darcy drifted away from
Richards Influence was unfortunate,
for he began listening to too many
advisors. and when he finally split
with his Australian companion Tim
OSuIlvan. and attempted to take
everything into his own hands he
made some sad mistakes. The action
Of Governor Whitman in refusing to
permit him to box In New York was a
regrettahle thing. The Governor dis
