Pigs do rOl do well on a COZ. "a.
ton alone l.ye and opts sown IN the
fall for winter pasture is the cheap
est and best supplement for cornfec
hogs. If one has no pasture it is
necessary to feed some of the high.
priced concentrated feeds.
Wheat middlings or shorts at So
per 100 pounds is a very good feed
if used in the proportion Of one4hali
as much shorts as corn. Tankage is
a very popular and good feed. but il
is not available on all markets. Sixty
per cent digester tankage at $50 "a
500 per ton will be a more econom-
ical feed than shorts at SO per 100
pounds. In feeding tankage, feed
about nine parts corn to one part of
tankage by weight, to pigs weighing
around 100 pounds. This tankage may
be fed wet or dry, or it may be mixed
into a slop.
Feed your pigs all the alfalfa or
soybean hay they will eat, in a rack.
These hays will partially take the
place of the high-priced shorts or
tankage.

Velvet Bean VS.. COttOn-Seed Meal
AT the Experiment Station last year
Is pounds of velvet bean meal were
found to be equal to 8 pounds of cot
ton-seed meal in feeding cattle. This
means that when cotton-seed meal is
$50 ton, velvet bean meal would be
worth about $50. Of course, one
years results cannot be taken as con-
elusive, but throughout the south vel
vet bean meal is considered to be
worth about three-fourths as much
per ton as cotton-seed meal Velvet
bean meal is just about equal in value
TO crushed corn, and is worth at least
70 per cent more than clover hay per
ton.

ENORMOUS RETURNS

MORE THAN S$14 A HEAD ARE
THE PROFITS FOR THE
SEASON..
aICsRD OF JOHN v. CECIL
Sells Ninety-seven Lambs At An Aver.
age of Nearly Eleven Dollars Each
And the Wool Brings Over So a
Head for the Ewes.

That there is big money in the
sheep business in Maury county was
demonstrated again this morning
when John w. Cecil, big farmer of
the Cross Bridges section, received a
checque from Milton e. Allen, the
well known stock buyer, for over
$1,000, the proceeds of ninety-seven
lambs, which he sold as the produce
of eighty-three Southdown ewes, re-.
tanning three of the best lambs to eat
at home.
In addition to that cehck Mr.. Cecil
had already received check for 1895
for the wool clipped from the eighty
three ewes. This was a total of near.
ly $1,000 that was received for the
produce of eighty-three ewes that a
year ago were worth less than $40
a head.
The ninety-seven lambkins aver
aged seventy-three pounds each and
they brought Mr.. Cecil 14% cents.
This made an average Of about $10.95
from each lamb and the ewes averag'
ling over lamb each. and their wool
being worth around SO each, made the
totel returns from each eve nearly
$14
Commenting on this, Mr.. Cecil said
And yet in spite of the handsome
returns which may sheep and those Of

the government is prepared to buy, but

Hog Cholera to be Controlled.

Let US get our minds away from hog

virus to carry immunity but it is prac-
tically wiped out. How? Just by
strict sanitary laws first rigidly en-

gradually adopted by the people, until
now it is not hard matter to keep out
this disease.
Let us think of smallpox and diph
iberia in the human family in connec

We have reliable vaccine and for diph
iberia, potent serum, yet what is the
first thing the physician does when he
finds a case of either of these diseases?
He Immediately places a quarantine on
the premises and requires thorough
cleaning up. If this is necessary for
the proper and successful fight against
hog cholera. What the physician de-
sires to do is not to let the disease
spread from the premises on which it is
first discovered.

should be forced by law, to take the
necessary precautions to protect their

How to Gather Seed Corn.

At corn-ripening time, drop all other
farm business, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, and select
twice as much seed corn as you think
you will need. The job is too import
ant to be conducted incidentally while
huslzing, and demands the entire atten-
ton of the farmer when the time is
ripe-likewise the corn.
&c! the very best to be had and pre-
serve it we'll, because then, say the
corn experts, increased yields will re-
turn more profit than from any other
work that can be done on the farm.
The one and only proper way to select
seed corn is from the stalks standing
where they grow, as soon as ripe and
before the first hard freeze.
AS soon as the crop ripens the wise
farmer will 60 through the field with
seed-picking bags, and husk the ears
from the stalks that have produced the
most corn without having any special
advantages such as space, moisture, or
fertility. He will pass by the large
ears OH stalks standing alone with an
unusual amount of space around them.
Strains that do well in competition for
light, and moisture, and soil fertility
are likely to repeat under the. same
conditions. The most important con-
sideration is to select seed from those
plants which have the ingrained ability
to furnish the largest quantity of dry
shelled corn.
Early maturity is desirable quality,
and so are short, thick, wind-firm
stalks; top heavy ones with ears borne
too high are, likely to mean losses.
Breeding experiments have proved
that the tendency TO produce suckers
is hereditary in corn. Other things
being equal, take the seed from sucker
less stalks.
