The value OF sweet potatoes as
feed for livestock is not generally
understood. Three to four bushels
are the equivalent of a bushel of corn
for hogs and, in connection with rich
concentrations, the potatoes are a
good feed for cattle. On light soils
that produce from twenty to twenty
five bushels of corn, the same care
and attention will return 100 to 200
bushels of sweet potatoes.

Before starting with new herd,
which first should be tested for the
disease, make the place sanitary.
tuberculosis cattle are chief source
Of tuberculosis in hogs. Unpasteuriz-
ed skinned milk and the droppings
of cattle convey the disease germs.
That means milk should be freed Of
the germs by pasteurization, or heat
ing. before feeding to hogs. IL means
also that swine should'not be allowed
TO run with cows unless the cows have
passed the tuberculin test. Dispose
of cattle showing a reaction from the
disease. In the case of steers or
other cattle known as feeders" 1t is
comparatively safe to allow hogs to
follow them, as the disease is not
very common among these animals,
and they usually are sold off the farm
before the disease, il contracted, de-
velops to a point where their drop
pings will be in fected.
All raw garbage, raw slaughter
house offal, and carasses should be
thoroughly cooked before they are
fed to hogs. Prepared tankage from
slaughterhouses is a safe feed. as its
preparation involves thorough cook
ing or sterilization.
Scald all skinned milk, butter
milk, or whey. Even boiling will not
lessen their feeding value. Either
scalding, boiling, or pasteurizing-
that is, heating to las +. and holding
at that tempature for 80 minutes
will kill all germs of tuberculosis and
also render harmless stray germs of
many other animal diseases. No
farmer, unless his herd is tuberculin-
should feed his skinned milk raw TO
his swine. If the skinned milk
comes from creamery, insist that it
be pasteurized there. Get your neigh
bors to join in such a demand. The
milk from tuberculous herd is liable
to ontaminate all the skinned milk
in that creamery.
With tuberculosis eradicated from
your farm, be cautious to prevent its
return Do not bring in new stock
until you are satisfied it is free from
the disease. Make it your practice
to see the slaughterhouse report of
hogs that are marketed. Be on the
alert 10 catch a possible outbreak at
its beginning. Such methods are
bound to result in a thriving, healthy
herd that will attract buyers, who
are now beginning to avoid districts
where tuberculosis is common.

p tuberculosis may be lurking in
your pig pens. Look out for it. Hogs
appearing thrifty and well may show
infection at the slaughterhouse. One
in four may be rejected That was
the prOpOrtiOnate loss of one farmer
not long ago who thought his herd
was healthy. Some Of the finest ap-
pearing animals, when slaughtered,
proved to he infected and brought
only tankage and grease prices. The
lOss i'm this instance multiplied by
thousands of such cases, will give the
millions in damage done every year
By this plague, which is preventable.
Tuberculosis in hogs is insidious;
hard to detect. The slaughterhouse
report may be the first indication
that your swine are diseased. A
tuberculin test, however, will tell ii
IL is in your herd. Farmers, Bulletin
ISL, tuberculosis in Hogs" explains
this test and describes symptoms that
may be recognized when the animals
have reached the advanced stages OF
the disease,
Once discovered, tuberculosis
should be fought vigorously. Get
rid of all infected animals. To do
that it may be necessary to sell the
entire herd. including the breeding
animals, for what the healthy hogs
will bring as meat and the infected
hogs tankage or grease. But small
sacrifices now III prevent much larg-

Shortage of Cans.

More home canning is being done
On southern farms this year than
during any previous season, and at
this critical time there develops n
shortage of cans which has sent the
price soaring and in many localities
made il absolutely impossible to Sc
cure cans at any price. Many manu-
facturers and jobbers have with
drawn all price schedules, and some
of them have already announced that
they cannot make further deliveries
of cans.
In this case buy glass jars. They
can be used successfully in any home
Gamer, and at present prices they
are somewhat more economical than
tins because they can be refilled
after they are emptied.
Don't let the present price of cans
and Jars prevent you from doing your
own canning. All food products are
sure to be high next winter, and you
will save double the price in grocery
bills by putting up for winter use all
the foodstuff you can produce your
self on your own farm.

Corn Is Still King In Old Kentucky

Corn Is Still King In Old Kentucky.
Ii is very important that every
farm boy in this country should know
to what extent the corn crop con-
tributes to our national prosperity
and welfare. Corn is the world S
greatest cereal crop, because on land
suitable to its growth, it will yield
about twice as much food per acre as
any other grain. The United States
has the only large area in the world
suitable for its growth, as is shown
by the fact that threee-fourths of the
entire crop is produced here. When
we realize further that one-fourth Of
the worlds entire grain crop is corn,
il is easy to understand why we have
become such an important agricultur-
al country. The annual yield of corn
in the United States is about So mill
ion tons. This is four times as great
as our production of wheat and six
times as great as that of oats, the
ntNl HOSl important Siopo'
Kentucky is one of the great corn
states, and has much land particu-
larly well suited to the crop. We pro-
duce ten times as much corn as wheat
and the tobacco crop has an average
value only about one-half as great as
that of corn Yet our average yield
is but about rs bushels per acre,
which, however, is approximately the
average yield for the entire country.
Corn occupies such a large percentage
OF the land suitable for the produc
tion of grain crops in Kentucky that
10 increase the output of food crops
is chiefly n problem of increasing the
yield of com per acre. There is 10
ether crop with which the possibili-
ties of increa Sc, Yields are as great
as with corn. In time we can double
the present average yield. Certainly
members OF "cys' clubs in Kentucky
can learn nothing more important
than how - handle the cron crop so
as to insure la-?er yields.

Sorghums and Millets Are the Best
Hay Crops.

Washington, ID. C.,-In the South
eastern States the sweet sorghums,
Sudan grass, millets, and cowpeas are
the forage crops best suited for sum-
mer planting. The transportation
problem, under present conditions,
promises to be a highly important
one. 1t is very desirable for this
reason that farmers in the South
eastern States should grow sufficient
hay to feed their work stock and
other farm animals instead of i'm
porting it from other sections of the
country. By doing this, the United
States Department of Agriculture
states they will relieve the pressure
on transportation agencies and re-
lease large quantities of marketable
hay for the use of the army.
The forage crops named succeed
even on the moderately fertile lands
of til South.
1t is not necessary, however, for
the cotton farmer to reduce his acer-
age in cotton TO insure himself of an
abundance of hay for his own live
stock. Usually there is a large amount
of untitled land in the South and If
this were utilized in the production
of forage there would be an abund-
ance of hay to supply all home re-
quirements.
One feature to be considered if
southern farmers are to produce
their own hay, IL, the cost and scar
city of seed for planting. In par
ticular the price of Sudan grass seed
is so high that it practically pro-
hibits the seeding of this crop for hay
purposes. To a certain extent this is
true also of the cowpea. On the
other hand, seed or millets and the
can be obtained at a much
more reasonable price. These, there
fore are recommended as the most
satisfactory crops for providing hay
for home consumption in the South
east.
In order TO conserve the seed sup
ply of sweet sorghums it is advised
that the practice of seeding these
sorghums broadcast or in close drills
be discontinued very largely for the
present. Sixty pounds OF seed per
acre are required where these crops
are drilled or broadcasted, and only
FIVE pounds If planted in rows and
cultivated. This latter method re-
quires more labor, but the yield per
acre of fodder will equal or exceed
a much larger acreage can be planted
with the same amount Of seed.

PINE LEAVES AS MANURE.

81 have seen it stated that pine
straw is worth $3.50 a ton as manure
I can rake it up and put it on the
land for so cents a ton. Will it pay
to rake it up and use to help the i'm
provement of an old sandy farm I
am trying to build up?"
Pine straw will add organic matter
and aid in the making of humus in
the land. In the famous sweet pota-
t~o-growing sections of Accomac and
Northampton counties in Virginia,
the growers rake up all the leaves
and rotten trash from the pine woods
every winter and spread them on the
land to be planted to sweet potatoes
and plow under at once. Some fertil-
izer is added, and they make famous
crops of sweet potatoes, the woods
trash acting mechanically much as a
fertilizer. Where the work is done
in the leisure season it will prob
ably pay to rake and haul and
the forest leaves and leaf
mold.-Progressive Farmer.

FIVE THINGS TO DO
THIS WEEK AND NEXT
&uD

Have you ordered some Abruzzi
rye seed for planting in September?
It's the greatest winter grazing crop
we know, and we'd like to see every
farmer in the Cotton Belt try ct
least a small acreage this fall.
2. Dat planting time in the upper
South is practically here, and if a
good supply of seed is not already
on hand no time should be lost in
getting them.
8. If no other land is available
for the rye and oats, excellent re-
suits may be had. by planting them
between the row in a well cultivated
cotton field, using a three-row, open
furrow drill.
a.. If planting seed of cotton and
corn have not been selected ip the
field, right nov is IN excellent time
to do it.
5. Save all the corn stalks and
other rough feed, for feedstuffs
promise to stay high-priced indefin-
itely.

GOOD RESPONSE FROM
FARMERS IN LOAN CAMPAIGN

In the First Liberty Loan Cam
paign, many of the farmers of the
country were not reached, and sub
scriptions from the rural committees
were few. There were several rea-
sons for this, the foremost Of which
was that the Loan was put out in
the spring, when they were busy
with their crops, and it was difficult
for the canvassers to interview them.
Then, too, they had to borrow money
for their planting. Now their crops
are in,. and at the present high price
of food stuffs, they should have a
large sum of money in their hands.
For a loan of a portion of that money,
the Liberty Bond campaigners are
now appealing all over the country.
The various bureaus and societies
are cooperating and good results
RI expected.
Albert R. Mann, Dean of the New
York College of Agriculture, is one
of those who have been active in this
work. Speaking of the Loan and
the farmers share in it, he said to-
day:
"When liberty came to America,
the farmer helped to bring it. He
bore the gun, he contributed I'M
sparingly of his substance, he fed
the armies. In the present struggle
for UNIVERSAL liberty, I am sure that
he will do no less. He has already
made splendid response to the de-
mand for greater food production.
1 look with confidence on his gener-
GUS contribution to the Liberty Loan.
The first Loan largely overlooked the
farmer; the efforts were c~oncentrat-
ed in the cities. The second cam
paign should give every opportunity
for farmers as individuals and in
their organizations to support the
Government in it's financial program.
1t is the highest expression of Am
ricanism that all the people should
help carry the common load in this
critical hour"
