be ready to pasture during the last
half of June.
Sorghum will furnish a consider
able amount of forage during the hot
dr. time of summer when other crops
are not growing well. If sown the
latter half of May or the first of June
it should be ready for pasturing in
six to eight weeks.
Hogs which have been pastured
during the grazing season on crops
already mentioned may he finished
by allowing them to hog down corn
and soy beans. These crops may he
grown together or in separate fields.
If grown in separate fields they
should be arranged so that the hogs
can have the run of both fields at the
same time, since the two crops make
better ration than either alone.
Experimental results at the Miss
our Agricultural Experiment Station
show that. on forage, 1t required an
average of 3.1S pounds of grain to
produce one pound of pork, as COM
pared with 5.11 pounds. the average
from five dry lot feeding trials con-
Quoted under similar conditions. This
would mean a saving of So per cent.
in the amount of grain fed. With
hogs worth 10 cents pound the
average return per bushel of corn
fed to hogs grazing on forage was
s1.S4. With hogs at the same price
the average return per bushel of corn
fed in dry lot was $1.10. These re-
suits emphasize the economy of feed
grain on pasture.

Produce Pork With Lt,,s Grain,

Forage crops make cheap pork, he
cause they permit cutting the grain
allowance to the minimum. A sys-
TEN of management which will furn-
ish forage through the entire graz
ing season should be planned early.
Rye and bluegrass will furGish
pasture early in the spring and may
be followed by alfalfa or clover. Hogs
have been turned on 10 alfalfa At the
Missouri College of Agriculture as
early as April 10, although it will
usually be several weeks later before
il is ready. Glover will usually be
ready for pasture during the last half
of May.
These crops must be seeded tho

are 10 be grazcd. Perhaps the best

Boiling Potatoes.

We ought not to go on peeling pc.
totaes as we have been accustomed to
do. The supply is short, and If they
are to last out till new ones come
they must be made the most of.
And in order to do this, they
should be cooked in their jackets.
When cooked, the skins can be
scraped free from every particle OF
potato, and nothing is wasted. Also
the valuable mineral salts of the po-
tato, which lie just under the skin,
are not lost, as they are when the
vegetable is peeled. and then boiled.
In Ireland, where the cooking of DO
tatoes is we'll understood, they arc
never peeled before cooking.
Steaming IS really the very best
method of cooking boiled (s-soimore
method of cooking, for then there is
no chance of their being boiled all to
pieces and wasted that way.
If the potatoes are peeled and boil
ed, save the water in which they
were cooked and use il for stock.
Never throw it away, for in it will be
a considerable amount of flavor and
nourishment.
The old idea that potato water is
poisonous has long ago been proved
quite mistaken.

Control Lice And Mites.

There is nothing that is more det-
rimental to the health and growth of
young chicks than to let parasites
gain foothold in your flock. If you
notice them becoming listless. their
combs and wattles becoming pale in
color and the young birds losing in
weight, advise making an eXamina-
ton of such birds and also of your
houses and coops to see if you can
discover evidences OF either lice or
mites. Chicken mites are one of the
worst pests found in the poultry yard
The growth of the young chickens
depends upon the digestion and as
similation OF nourishing food. The
blood carries this nourishment to the
various portions of hte body, and, as
long as mites live upon the body Of
tre chick and remove the blood as
fast as it is made, there is little
chance of growth. There is great
danger of mites, especially in the
warmer sections Of the country. All
co0ps and perches should be regul-
ariy examined and brushed with a
solution of three to five parts of
kerosene mixed with one part of
crude carbollc acid or with some of
the reliable commercial products
which you see advertised.

An Excellent Feed.

Soybean seed are very rich in
crude protein and are extremely high
in fat and are highly digestable.
Feeding experiments have shown
soybean seed meal to be slightly SUI
perior to cottonseed meal for dairy
cows and only slightly inferior to
cottonseed meal for fattening cattle.
Soybeans are also an excellent feed
for horses. sheep, and pigs. 1t must
be understood however that soybean
meal is a highly concentrated nitro
genous feed and as such must be fed
sparingly-in about the same ratio
to other feeds as cottonseed meal is
fed.

Milk Fever.


Milk fever is a rather serious
trouble with good cows, as it is said
that none but well-bred, heavy-pro-
ducing cows have II. II seems to be
more prevalent among grass-fed
cows.
The danger of milk among cows
seems to he greatest in late summer
or early fall, notably June. July, Au-
gust and September. The recommen-
dation is to put the COW in the barn
and feed dry hay about week before
she comes fresh. Three or four days
before calving the COW is given u
dose of salts with little ginger.
Another dose is also given five or six
hours after the calf is born. A buck
ct of warm water should be given the
COW two or three times n day. She
should not be allowed to have cold
water for some time.

CAN WIZARD EDISON
CURB U.BOAT MENACE.

Can Thomas A. Edison curb the
submarine menace? All military
authorities now agree that the sub,
marine has placed the Entente AL
| lies, and therefore the United States
in the most terrible danger. If the
submarine problem can be solved
| then Germany will be defeated.
Neither England nor France has
been able to meet this problem. Sub.
marines are more dangerous to-day
than ever before. They do not rise
to the surface when they torpedo a
vessel. Only one foot of the peri
scope is above water. They are
working most terrible havoc, and may
isolate Britain if not curbed.
Now it is estimated that Edison,
who has been working from eighteen
to twenty hours day, is periecting
an electrical device that he hopes
will catch the submarine. II this dc
vice is successful the submarine viii
give notice of it's presence and regis
ter its whereabouts to watchers on
shore far away. That the invention
is within the realms of possibility
will appear entirely creditable to a
generation which has known the
wireless and which knows Edison.
AvertiOn to War.
Until Americas relations with Ger
many became strained, Edison re-
fused to work on weapons of war.
His aversion for inventing instru-
menta of destruction was first evil
denced in 1896 during some of the
crisis of the Venezuelan dispute
when there was an epidemic of sug-
gestions regarding the defense Of
America in case of war.
Some years before Edison had
worked with w. Scott Sims on the
perfection of a dirigible submarine
torpedo boat operated by electricity,
but when approached by the Govern
ment representatives he refused to
cooperate and put all his energies to-
ward the perfection of the electric
light.
This torpedo boat was designed
principally by Sims, but was made
practical by Edison's electrical i'm
proyements. II was controlled by
electricity and could have been de-
yeloped into an efficient fighting ma
chine long before the modern subma-
rine torpedoes were made practical
Edison suggested other ideas for
the defense of the United States. De-
claring that electricity was Americas
greatest ally, he said streams of wat
or charged with it could protect any
fort from invasion.
Edison also outlined plan for a

stty of Pittsburgh baseball team on
The occasion OF its visit here tomorrow
for the first time since the spring O.
1915.
\ To date there have been no games Of
great interest on the baseball sched-
nle and the appetites of the local fans
have merely been whetted for the more
important and more interesting games
that are now to come. Pitt, unQues-
tfonabIy will offer as stiff opposition as
w. v. U. will face this year. The Pitts
burgh team has played two games,
beating Ohio Wesleyan, a team tina IS
usually strong, by the score OF 15.4
ard showing strength in every depart
ment that bodies ill for Hickman's
crew unless they get out their wat
clubs in more strenuous fashion thar.
has been the case in the majoritO OF
the games played TO date. In the sec
pnd Pittsburgh Independent game
here on Saturday the team fell into
Its stride once or twice and literally
rained safe drives into the outfieId,
but previous to that, hits had always
been scarce when hits meant rups. 1t
Us certain, however, that Rodgers,
Finn, Fidler, King, Stops, Garden,
Morrow, Ayers and the others will
strike their stride soon and Hickman
is hoping that it will be on Wednesday.
Pitt will no doubt prove to be one OF
the best diamond attractions that has
ever been brought to Morgantown, The
fact that four Of che members of Pitts
championship football team are play
ing baseball in the persons of Hastings
at short; DeHart at third; Carlson at
second and Sizes in left field will prove
an added attraction. Hastings was an
All.American football man last year
and the other three received mention
by practically all critics.
