ORIN COWPEAS.
Weevils Are Best Controlled BY Not
Thrashing in the Fall.

Clemson College, S. C.,-Under
ordinary conditions, the best way to
store cowpeas is in the pod. The
pods serve as a protection for the
peas.
If you find some weevils already
in them it will be well to fumlgate
with carbon bisulphide for "a hours,
using a pound of carbon bisulphlde
to 1000 cubic feet of store room.
The store room, of course, must
have tight walls, or have them made
tight by pasting paper over the
cracks. A very common way is to
get barrels and fill them with peas,
shaking them down thoroughly, but
not tramping them enough to break
the pods.
If there are a good many weevils
already in the peas, then it would
be advisable to thrash them now and
preserve them in sacks or barrels
after they have been fumigated.

Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before

USE CHEAPER FEEDS;
AND SAVE GRAIN
Corn, Fodder, Straw, and Other
Roughages, When Fed With Con-
centrates, Make Good Rations

cit is time to quit shoveling grain
Unfortunately into livestock. Good
livestock farming demands it and the
need of more food requires it. Feed
ing grain to meat animals with a law
ish hand is responsible for one of the
greatest feed losses on the farms of
this country. Hay, fodder, silage,
and pasture are the cheapest feeds
and will carry animals long with a
minimum of grain. Keep the frames
of the young animals developing on
these cheap feeds. Withhold the full
grain ration until the finishing period
arrives. Breeding cattle may be
wintered on the cheaper feeds"
This advice of the United States
Department of Agriculture to stock
feeders is not emergency advice
only; it is the sound logic of meat
production, which American farmers
must learn if they are complete sue
cessfully with European meat pro-
'ducers in the coming generations.
These are good days to learn the les
son of feed conservation. In Farm
ers' Bulletin 873, "The Utilization of
Farm Wastes in Feeding Livestock"

SAVE WHILE THE
SAVING is GOOD

High-priced crops r pouring in
to the South a golden flood that is
unprecedented in all our history
Tenants who have hitherto merly'
broken even are finding themselves
with hundreds Of dollars in cash
ahead; small landowners arc wiping
out all obligations, with heavybal-
ances to the good; large landowners,
in many cases, are actually netting
small fortunes.
All of which is good. But let us
not during this era of great material
prosperity forget to lay by some
thing for a rainy day. We would
like to see every Southern farm house
painted and equipped with lights and
waterworks, every Southern farmer
supplied with the best of labor-sav-
ing machinery and good livestock.
spending money for them is pro-
ductive investment. On the other
hand, we need during these times
to pull ourselves up sharply when
we r tempted to buy things we
really do not need, and put the
money in the bank instead. Next
year may not be a year like this has
been, and we may be certain that
the present era of prosperity can
not continue indefinitely.
Wise is he who forsees these things
and governs himself accordingly
There neve will be a better time to
put some money in the bank and
keep it there against the rainy days
ahead.-Progressive Farmer.

HOW TO DRY-CURE PORK.
Excellent Method for Preserving the
Farmers Meat Supply.

Clemson College, S. Grub each
piece of meat with fine clean salt and
allow it to stand from 6 to "a hours
in a pile on a bench or a table so
the bloody serum can drain out.
The following is a good dry-curlng
mixture for 1000 pounds. of meat;
Fine clean salt, 40 pounds;
White or brown sugar, 10 pounds
White or black pepper, 4 pounds;
Red pepper, 1-2 pound.
Mix thoroughly.
Rub each piece of meat thorough
ly with the dry-curing mixture, says
the animal husbandry division of
Clemson College, taking care to see
that it penetrates the muscles round
the ends of the bones of the hams
and shoulders. Pile. the meat care
fully with the skin down in a cool
airy place. Do not make the pile
more than three feet deep, or let the
meat stay more than three days
without another application of the
mixture, but after the second appli-
cation no other need be applied for
five or six days more.
A fourteen-pound ham should be
allowed to cure for three weeks, or
a day and a half for each pound of
it's weight. After this treatment, it
should be thoroughly cured. Only
two-thirds as much time need be al
lowed for giving a mild cure to meat
to be used during the spring.
Wash each piece with warm water
and remove any extra curing mix
ture. Wipe it dry and hang up for
smoking. When all the meat is
ready, smoke with hickory, oak, ap-
pie, or in fact any wood except that
of the pine family. The meat
should be carefully wrapped or sack
ed to keep out shippers.
