WHY HOGS ARE
PROFITABLE

Much of our land is too rough TO
cultivate and such land can be used to
grow timber and hogs. In Tennessee
there are 5 300, 900 acres of unim-
proved land, and only 10,800,00O acres
of improved land. This means that
Tennessee has considerably more land
in woods than it has in all other kinds
of crops. This indicates the enormous
acorn and nut crops which are produc-
ed. These nuts are very nutritious,
and with food supply car as it now
is Tennessee cannot afford to waste
them. Hogs readily become fat on
them, and they are the only domestic
animals that can utilize them to adj
vantage.
No animal will give as high returns
for dairy by-products consumed as the
hog. Where butter of cheese is being
sold the hog is an important factor IN
the business as a consumer of skim
milk, buttermilk or whey.
When steers are fattened on a corn
ration, hogs should always be provided
to follow them. The number required
to utilize the waste per steer will vary
according to the condition Of the feed.
The range is from two to three hogs
per steer on husked ear corn, n per
steer on shelled corn, and one-half hog
per steer on ground corn.
Year after year million of tons of
vegetable matter containing valuable
fertilizing constituents move from
our farms to distant lands, never to re-
turn. The manure and waste from
feeding a bushel of corn in the shuck
is now worth 40c. By feeding at the
right place on the farm this fertility
is returned to the soil.

AN IMPORTANT SHOW FOR
TENNESSEE BREEDERS

Among the obligations 10Y laid o
Farmers none is more pressing than
that to increase the supply of fats an
meats. Grain supply abroad is mer
ly a matter of shipping. If the ocean
were freed of menace we could nc
supply the required quantity of fats
and meats. 1t means breeding an
feeding. Only the persistence ano
skill of farm breeders Of meat stoc
will feed the starving world in an ade
quate manner. 1t cannot come in
day, in a year, but widespread, deter
mined, united effort must be set in
motion
The food administration has desig-
mated the International Live Stock Elk
position, to be held in Chicago early
in December, as a food training
camp" 1t is well named. The farm
ers can there study breeding and feed
ing. Never was it so wasteful to fee
high-priced grain to ill-bred stock.
Many Tennessee breeders will sho
their stock at the international, and a
who attend will return with create
knowledge of the business.

YOUR SOIL TYPE
IS KNOWN

Samples have been taken and anal
yses made Of all soil types Of the state,
and this information, along with ex-
periments in the fieldyses made of all
soil types of the state, and this infor-
nation, along with experiments in the
field with various soil treatments, has
shown what these soils need. On the
average farm one would be safe in US
ing two tons of ground limestone or
one ton of burned lime to the acre, APP
piled every six or eve years. Many
times acid phosphate or basic Stag is
also needed. With these materials the
farmer will be able to grow red clo-
yer and grass, which, if fed upon a
farm, will insure the improvement Of
the soil.
The state agricultural experiment
station does not follow the practice Of
making an analysis of samples of soil
gathered promiscuously over the
state. Such analyses are of very little
value as a matter of record for the ex-
pertinent station, because the expert
mentalists cannot know the conditions
under which the samples were taken.
The analysis would be worth very lit
tie to anyone if he had it, because it
would require a very complete scienti-
fc knowledge to interpret the result in
terms of what course one should take
in the improvement of a soil.

cannot find time to attend to his own
business as president Of the Chicago
Great Western. Consequently he has
borrowed an official of the Illinois Gen.
tral to take his place. The loan is onlv
temporary. Mr. FELTON, expects to go
back to running his own railroad as
soon as the war is over and the gov
eminent is through needing him.
A new soft drink which is alleged
to possess delightful qualities is being
made from alfalfa. Cut when young
and tender the stalks are given a
thorough cleaning in warm water and
dried by artificial heat. They are then
reduced to powder by grinding and
put into aeuum pans and boiled. The
solid particles are removed by filter
ing and the liquid that remains Is
mixed with sugar syrup and bottled
for shipment.
Asked by a young woman canvasser
If he would buy a liberty bond, a SOL
der in Washington replied nonchalant-
" that he would take 100000 worth.
Noting the young lady's %incredulous
look the soldier told her to communi-
cate with a certain bank if she doubt
ed his sincerity. Though believing
that he was joking, she did write TO
the bank and shortly afterward she
received a reply that the man IN
question was not only good for $780,
600 but for S5,O00,000. So the order
was good.
The food administration predicts
that the ruling which recently took Ell.
feet recurring wholesalers to obtain
licenses in order to sell their supplies
will tend to lower the cost of canned
goods. Much of the canned stuff now
being sold was bought last spring
when prices were low, and the food
administration states, if it is found
that any dealer is making excessive
profits on these goods his license Will
be revoked. Retailers charging n
than is considered fair will also find
their supplies cut off, it is announced.
Harry Waseonick, a seven-year-old
New York boy, died a few days ago
after partaking of a meal Of pancakes
which his sister had baked, 1t was
found afterwards that the girl ha
used in mixing them roach powder in
of baking powder.

TO GET A START OF
SWEET CLOVER

Soils which are acid must be lined
before sweet clover will succeed. They
should receive an application of one
ton of burned lime, or at least two tons
of crushed lime stone, to the acre.
Sweet clover also requires incubation
on soils which have not grown sweet
clover or alfalfa before. Inoculation
may be obtained by the use of pure
culture, which will be furnished upon
application to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washoington, D. G.
ene : r.yRav Of, inoculating is BIZ
application OF several hundred pounds
of inoculated soil to the acre. One
may obtain this inoculated soil from
an old sweet clover field, or from an al
falfa field which has been ~inoculated.
Scatter the soil over the field and har-
row it in on a cloudy day, or late in
the afternoon, so that it will not be
subject to bright sunlight.
The seed should be sown early in
spring at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds
of hulled seed to the acre. It should
be sown upon a firm soil and harraw-
ed in very lightly, as there is danger
Of covering the seed too deeply.

FEEDING CORN TO CATTLE

tennessee this year has a little soft
corn on some farms. Ordinarily the
state does not have a sufficient guam
tity of soft corn to make the matter of
feeding it of any considerable import
ance, but in the corr belt states where
soft corn is plentiful numerous exper-
liments have, haep conduetna -Iamone
corn, containing 35 per cent Of moist
ure, was found to be more economical
than the feeding of mature corn. Co.
burn states that soft corn is consid-
cred excellent or swine, and especially
for young pigs, as it contains less
starch than mature corn. Old corn
shoulu used for finishing.
Corn may be fed at any time dur
ing the day, but the usual practice is
to feed at morning and night when
and other materials are fed,
thus saving an extra trip to the feed
ing barn each day.
With the margin that now exists
between the --eder and fat cattle a
profit is insured from feeding this

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as this Should Convince
Any Brownsville Citizen

The public Endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger

ward and testifies to his fellow-citizens

you may be sure he is thoroughly con-
WINGED OF he would not do SO. Telling
ones experience when it is for the
public good is an act of kindness that
should be appreciated. The following

THE BREED THAT PAYS BEST

1t is a question whether or not White
Leghorns are more profitable than
some other chickens. The Leghorns
are smaller than the American breeds
and produce eggs on less feed, but tn
~carcasses, when finally disposed Of as
market poultry, bring less than so per
cent Of the price obtained for the lar
ger birds. The broilers and fryers do
not make as good market poultry as
those from the American breeds. The
commercial egg farms use the Leg
horns to a great extent, while farmer
and suburbanites usually prefer the
larger breeds.
