SORGHUM MAKES LARGE
QUANTITY OF SILAGE
Hay From Sorghum Is Also Good =
Valuable For Syrup.

Sorghum produces an abundance Of
cheap and nutritious forage and can
be grown at little cost. 1t is suggest
ed that anyone who contemplates fill
ing silo this year grow sorghum for
that purpose instead Of corn and lei
all the corn grown come to maturity
The sorghum will produce twice as
much tonnage per acre as will corn,
and experiments in different states
show it to be almost equal to corn in
feeding value, pound for pound.
The Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane, one
of the large varieties, is the best to
grow for silage. This variety and the
Orange are both valuable for syrup,
which should not be neglected by far
mers. Hay from sorghum is also
good. The Early Amber variety should
be planted for that purpose. Sorghum
may be planted up to the middle Of
July.--W. R. Perkins, Extension Di.

save THE HOGS: THEY
WILL Be MUCH NEEDED
Some Facts About the Use and Abuse
Of Hog Cholera Serum-Sanitary
Measures Are Necessary.

The cry Of the nation, and Of the
world, today, is for food and yet more
food; and anyone who can, in any
way, conserve and increase the food
supply of the people at this time is g
true patriot.
To suggest that we should save our
hogs, at any time, but more especially
in the country's present crisis, may
seem quite uncalled for, or even ri
diculous. However, there are one or
two points in this connection which
may be overlooked, and will bear
stressing.
The first is with reference to tho
use and abuse Of serum. Serum, as
every hog owner knows, is a valuable
protective agent against hog cholera,
the demand for which seems to be on
the increase; and from all accounts,
the State serum plant is having all
It can do to meet the requests for Sc.
rum that come to it.
The intelligent and judicious use of
serum Is all right, and is to be COM
mended. But may there not be some
hog owners who order serum when
not really needed, or order quantities
far in excess of what they actually re-
quire at the time? If so, and we think
1t not improbable, it means q waste
of serum, and is probably depriving
others Of it's use on account of a tenn
porary shortage Of the supply thereby
occasioned.
In intelligently conserving the Sc
rum supply, therefore, it means COLI
serving and increasing the peoples
food supply in hogs.
On the other hand, the one who,
through the wasteful use, or abuse, of
serum, deprives some one else of its
use in trying to save his hogs, is not
only not aiding conservation, but the
very opposite.
The second point is, the adoption Of
strict sanitary measures in connec-
ton with hog cholera. The man who
does not effectually destroy his chol-
era-infected carcasses, but permits
them to lie around exposed to be the
means of spreading Infection to his
own still healthy hogs, and to his
neighbours herds, is surely not using
his best efforts to conserve and in.
crease the hog supply, and, therefore,
the food supply Of the people in hogs
and hog products.
And the same may be said with re-
gard to thorough disinfection of chol.
era-infected premises, ETC., in order to
destroy infection and keep it from
spreading and killing more hogs with
cholera.
In other words, the man who uses !
every eendeavor to save the lives Of
his own hogs, and those of his neigh
bors, is a patriot in the truest sense |
Of the term, as he is showing that he
is trying his best to conserve and in
crease the nations food supply in
hogs.
There are many ways in which We
can display our patriotism; and this
Is most important one which should
not be overlooked by our hog owners
at this time of the country's Stress

MANY HOGS SOLD FOR
LESS Than Value
Feed Crops Should Be Utilized For
Fall Pork notwithstanding
Stock Must Be Kept.

Farmers have been advised to plant
an abundance OF feed crops; and the
only successful way to market such
crops is to use them for finishing off
live stock. II the stock is sold before
the crops are produced, it defeats the
very purpose for which the crops
were planted. Since the prices for
hQge have gone so high, buyers have
invaded many parts Of Louisiana and
are purchasing all the hogs they can
get at prices approximating half the
value Of butcher hogs on the market.
The prices paid have ranged from 6
cents to or cents a pound and
many Of these hogs have been subse-
Quently sold at from IA to Is cents.
A 60-pound pig at cents brings
less than $500 The same pig If kept
on pasturage with just enough grain
to keep it in a thrifty and growing
condition should easily f1nish-off OF
around 200 pounds next winter CT
spring. At the present prices It would
bring $25 to $35-the difference
amounting to an average Of say SIS
represents the farmers feed crops pre-
pared for the market by feeding It to
the growing pig. Now If he sells the
pig before he puts the feed into him
and then cannot sell the crop, it will
be loss in every way.
It Is therefore thought desirable ID
invite the attention of the farmers to
this question and to advise them not
to sell any light, young hogs that
should be kept and finished in the
fail or winter, and also to avoid sell
ing any brood sows that may be need
ed for increasing the number Of hogs
on the farm. 1t is not economical to
sell hogs until they have reached a
satisfactory weight for the slaughter
house, or say $50 pounds as. mini
mum. If it becomes necessary to sell
Off part of the hog stock, the owner
should keep posted on the markets
and should probably insist on getting
for young hogs not less than two
thirds Of the top prices for finished |
hogs, or, in other words, when the top |
of the market is Is cents pound, |
hogs on the farm should not bring
less than 10 cents if they are at all |
for the market in six to |
ten months hence.
1t should certainly be the aim Of
every farmer to keep enough hogs to
supply his own meat for next year
and, If possible, have surplus for
sale to his neighbors.-G. E. Nesom,

ON WAY TO SOLDIERS CAMP

E. Reed of the firm of Renftle
& Reed has just received a letter
from his son Ernest, who was one OF
the volunteers from Audubon county
in the national army. He left Camp
in Des Moines short time ago and
writes his parents the following let
ter:
1--WE got on the train about ten
O'Clock Sunday and have been going
ever since with the exception of a
few stops to givdps exercise and once
when we broke down.
We don't know just how. long we
will stay at N. Y, but some papers
say we will be there just long enough
to get the rest of our equipment
and then be loaded on the transport.
So you see we may be there two
weeks or so, or We may be there all
winter. We don't know.
suppose Beulah if off to school
by this time and hopes she likes it.
The kids are presumably going to
school also. Tell Wesley to be sure
and make his grades and + hope
Vernon will too.
We stopped in town close to a
football field while the boys were
practicing. 1t sure. seemed as tho
/ ought to be there On the right end.
Well, it is getting dark and some
thing is wrong with the lights in the
car. and l suppose I had better
close down.
We have pretty good feed on the
train. After supper tonight, they
gave us all about " lb of candy and
a pear, besides what else we had.
When you see the poorest writing
is where the road is rough. We
don't care when we get to n. Y. as
we have such a good time on the
train.
There are two companies on this
train, $50 men in all as there are
some doctors.
Well here comes some more rough
road and l must close. Give Pa my
love and tell him / wish he could
be with this bunch awhile. 1t would
make him feel ten years younger"

THE GLORY OF CORN
Our Crop the Biggest and Best OF
ANY Kind Grown i'm Any Land

my oho"h -hhy
mo nation can starve," writes
our secretary of agriculture, (which
raises in year 3,000,O00,000 bush
els of corn"
Not only not starve, but it can
live without wheat, live we'll and
grow fat. Who says eating corn is
a hardship
Corn comes to your table in TWEEN
ty different uniforms and every one
of them a perfect fit.
American corn is the biggest and
best crop of any kind grown in any
country of the world.
Search the earth around and you
will find no other product of the
field so beautiful as corn in midsum-
mer, standing in long. straight rows
like soldiers, with green banners
streaming In autumn these rows
turn to myriads of tents, which fill
with their yellow ears 10000 cribs
with food too good for any king.
Corn alone saved John Smiths
colony at jamestown and so gave
our continent its first English set
Element.
Corn kept from starvation the pill
grims in Massachusetts and led very
properly to the FIRST Thanksgiving
day.
The American Indian placed the
white races under an unpayable debt
when he introduced our ancestors to
corn.
Whether you eat roasting ears"
or hot corn mullins, golden cakes
just off the griddle or warm, thick
bread, you cannot go wrong.
tell you, II Homer had not died
couple of thousand years ago he
would write us finer epic on corn
than he did about the seige of Troy.
