SUMMER FORAGE FOR SWINE
Sweet Sorghums Come at Time 1t Is
Difficult to Have Other
Green Feed.

| (By w. r. DODSON, Director of Expert
ment Station, Louisiena State Univer-
sity)
The sweet sOrghunS make very ac-
| ceptable forage for hogs in the early
| summer, coming at a time when 1t Is
sometimes difficult to have other green
| feed. SOrghums are most Serviceable
for grazing during May, June and early
July.
The results of experiments at the
Louisiana station have not indicated
the high value of sorghums as a graz
ing or sOiling crop for hogs they are
reputed to have. In fact, we do not
place very high value on them, and
commend their use only as make
shift. The only strong points in their
favor are that they give quick returns,
and may be had about the time winter
crops are not sufficiently matured for
best service.
The Early Amber, Tarly Orange or
Coleman are to be preferred. Any of
these may be sown in drills as soon as
danger of frost is passed. though
growth will not be rapid until warm
weather prevails. The middle of March
to the first of April is ordinarily good
time to plant sorghum. However, the
crop may be planted as late as the first
of August. When sOwn in drills, with
rows Of three and half feet apart, it
takes about twelve pounds per acre to
give a thick stand. 1t Is best to plant
the seed thick so the stalks will be
small
The crop should be well cultivated
until it is about two feet high, If 1t is
to be grazed, or o conditions may re-
quire, if 1t is t6 be soiled. Planted
In early spring, the sorghums will ma
ture In about 40 to 100 days.

for corns will never again send electric

to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lleves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and ALL lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small

HOGS ARE GOOD MONEY CROP
Many Factors Enter Into Cause for
Increased Interest Being Taken
In Swine Industry.

(By I. w. CARPENTER, Mississippi Elk
pertinent Station.)
Due to the recent boom in pork pro-
duction, more people are going into
the hog business than ever before.
This Is accounted for by several fac
tors, the greatest doubtless being the
splendid work Of the county agents in
securing market for the small breed
er through cooperative shipping.
Since learning the prices to be ex-
pected on the central markets many
men who started out by shipping five
or ten hogs along with their neighbors'
shipments are now preparing to ship
In carload lots. Other factors In the
growth Of the hog industry are the pig
club work, and the failure Of the cot
ton crop causing the farmer to raise
hogs as the next best cash crop.
To get the best results in hog raising
rotation of pasture and forage crops
must be planted to furnish grazing the
year round, and it Is essential that a

MODERATE DRINKING.

Professor Durig, famous mountain
climber, conducted experiments upon
himself, climbing in each case 5000
feet to the top Of Mt. Bilkencrat in
the Alps. He recorded the height
climbed, his personal weight and that
of his pack, and carried instruments
to measure exactly the bodily energy
put forth, the amount of muscle work
done, and the length OF time required.
On certain days he took alcoholic drink
equivalent to two glasses of beer, and
found that. while his instruments
showed that he expended Is per cent
more energy than on the days Of alb
stinence he took 21.7 per cent longer
to reach the top Of the mountain.
