FLORIDA RETAINS LAND
CLAIMED BY RESIDENT
Action Brought by A. B. Henderson
to Get Title to Tract Near
Gainesville Dismissed.

The state of Florida is not to be dis
turbed in it's possession Of certain land
near Gainesville, to which Allen B.
Henderson claims to have right or en-
try under the homestead laws. Justice
Gould of the District Supreme Court SO
held in effect yesterday when he directed
the dismissal of a suit for mandamus
brought by Henderson against Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane. The lands
upon which Mr.. Henderson made entry,
the court finds, were not "unappro-
priated public lands" of the United
States, but belonged to the state Of
Florida under a patent from the United
States, issued more than thirty years
before.
The court declares that the decision
of Secretary Lane refusing to approve
and allow the entry of Mr.. Henderson
was probably correct But whether
right or wrong" says Justice Gould
"it was a decision of a question in
volving the public lands of the United
States, within it's exclusive jurisdiction,
according to repeated holdings of the
United States Supreme Court and the
Court of Appeals of this District. For
this court to review 1t would be to con-
vert the writ of mandamus into writ
of review"
The governor of Florida and other
high officials of the state were called
as witnesses at the hearing some
weeks ago.. 1t was shown that cler-
! ical error was responsible for convey
ance of another piece of land for the
one intended. To adjust the matter
and to protect its grantee the state
agreed to reconvey to the United
States the portion described and to re-
gain possession by filing a swamp land
indemnity certificate. Mr.. Henderson

Tug Embrey's Engine Fails Her.

The tug w. S. Embrey. formerly
owned in Fredericksburg, which left
Alexandria about three weeks ago,
bound for Cuba, is still at Norfolk. into
which port she was towed with dam
aged machinery two days after leaving
Alexandria. After being purchased by
New York parties owning sugar planta-
lions in Cuba, the Emery was brought
to Alexandria. where her hull was re-
built. The machinery trouble. which
developed as she was on her way down
the bay, necessitated extensive ma
chinery repairs at Norfolk. which are
now approaching completion.

from the. ground. If planted in May
or June in .~fOur-foot rows at the rate
of one peck an acre, theearlier vari-
cites should be ready for grazing in

ChnfaS
ChUfas with their small nut-like
tubers yield large amounts. of. fatten-
ing forage for hogs. Planted in the
early spring at the rate of one peck
to the acre, they should be. ready to
pasture late in. the fall or during the
winter. Some protein food, such as
tankage or cotton seed meal should
be fed in addition to balance the ra>
ton. for the chufas are. largely starch
and contain little protein.
Some Grain Is, necessary.
The object in pig feeding is to grow
a pig with pIenty of size and scale
and one that will fatten quickly and
economically. 1t is impossible to do
this on pasture or roots alone; grain
must be added to the ration. Pigs do
not neglect the roots or forage when
fed grain, but really make more eco
nomical use of it than when the grain
is limited. In feeding a grain ration
on roots or pasture, more success
has been attained by giving an moun
equal to three pounds per hundred
pounds live weight than when fed in
lesser amounts. " Many farmers use
the s~elf-feeder, giving the pigs free
access to such feeds as corn, mill
feeds and tankage while on the pas
ture, and obtain excellent results. The
practice tends to shorten the feeding
period and produces pork with slight-
ly less grain per unit Of gain.

Root and Bean CrOps-Other Feeds
Needed.
/ Washington, Oct. 15.-Peanut, vel
vet beans, sweet potatoes. and chufas
are growing in Importance for fat
tening hogs in the south, the animals
doing their own harvesting. Peanuts
are especially important, and it is
very unlikely that the southern farm
ers will lind d Dmore profitable meth
Cd of disposing of them than by feed
ing to hogs and finishing the hogs on
other feeds to harden the flesh. This
latter step is necessary because a
diet Of peanuts alone makes soft pork.
Soft hogs are objecter to for three
main reasons. First, a piece Of soft
pork is a very undesirable piece of
meat and is objected to by the con-
sumner; second, the lard rendered from
soft-bodied hogs never sets well and
lis undesirable from both the packers
and the consumers standpoint; third.
soft pork never cures as we'll as hard
pork.
Meat packers question the quality
of the meat from hogs fed peanuts
and other similar feeds that produce
soft pork. and they are not unreas-
Dnable in doing this, as refrigeration
will not harden the carcases of hogs
fed soleI.- 6 feeds of this character.
On the other hand, packers will not
believe that soft carcases can be har-
dened if fed the proper ration for a
certain length Of time before killing.
This attitude is not justified, however,
Tor there are sufficient experimental
data at hand to prove that soft-bodied
hogs can be made firm if they are fed
the proper feeds or combination OF
feeds.
Corn alone will eventually harden
soft-bodied hogs if fed during the lat.
ter part of the feeding period Tor four
to eight weeks, or as q Ia-ga-part OF
the ration during the entire time the
pigs are on feed. However, hogs viii.
not grow rapidly enough on corn alone
to put on a quick finish. and the time
and feed involved in hardening the
carcass makes this practice a mos
expensive one. This is true no mat

ter what the price of corn may be, and
it is especially true at the present
time when corn is high in price.
A ration composed of two-thirds
corn and one-third cottonseed meal is
an excellent hardening ration if the
hogs are not to be fed for more than
81 days. If the finishing and harden
ing period is longer than Il days, the
proportion of cottonseed meal should
be reduced to one-sixth of the whole
ration, and the finishing period should
not extend over five weeks. Cotton
tonseed meal has a poisonous effect
upon swine when fed in large quanti-
ties fora period of more than 30 days.
1t should be used very carefully.
Sweet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes have been fed to
hogs with some degree Of success,
particularly in the south. They have
been fed both raw and cooked, and the
hogs have also been allowed to- do
their own harvesting. Numerous at
tempts have been made to maintain
hogs on sweet potatoes alone, but like
Irish potatoes alone, this ration has
proved improbable. Sweet potatoes
have considerable value, however, in
a properly balanced ration,
Because of the expense of harvest
ing and storing sweet potatoes, a pro-
fit realized from feeding them to hogs
is possible only when the hogs ,are al
lowed to do their own harvesting. If
the hogs successfully harvest the
sweet potatoes, they are doubtless a
cheaper feed than corn on sandy soils
that yield from 10 to Is times as
many bushels of sweet potatoes as
corn, although the average yield of
sweet potatoes is less than 80 bushels
per acre. some farms raise as many as
200 bushels.
Sweet potatoes are considered the
best root crop for pigs for fall and
early winter grazing on the cut-over
pine lands of the South. The roots
are low in protein, however, and when
pigs are allowed to harvest them some
grain should be given in addition.
