LIMBER NECK IN THE SOUTH
Trouble Caused by Ptomaine Poison
ing Where Fowls Pick UP VarI-
Gus Dead Animals.

Timber neck, which is more COM
mon in Southern states, is caused by
ptomaine poisoning from eating de-
cayed flesh. Where fowls run at
large they frequently pick up dead
rats, mice or other animals, and In
this way become affected with the
germs, which quickly cause death.
Whole fiocks are sometimes wiped
out in the course of a few weeks.
Prevention Is the best remedy. II
you are losing chickens from this
cause shut up the flock and feed them
on sound sweet grain and feed. A
simple effective treatment is to use
permanganate Of potash. Put an ounce
of the crystals In quart bottle and
fill it with water Add enough of this
to the drinking water to give 1t rich
purple color, and allow the fowls no
other water to drink. Fowls which
show symptoms Of the disease should
be given dose night and morning.

MAINTAIN PRODUCTION OF SUGAR BEET

efficiently and economically as possible.
1t is believed that this can best be ac-
cOnpliShed by aGh"ring somewhat
closely to the methods Of crop rotation
that have been worked out and tested
in most of these producing districts,
and by avoiding the planting of an alb
normally large acreage of competing
crops at the expense Of Il reduction or
the acreage of beets. The determina-
ton of the acreage TO be planted needs
to be made early so that the farmers
can plan their work to best advantage
and the sugar companies arrange In
advance for the supplies necessary to
operate the mills.
The sugar requirements of this coun-
try and the allied nations during the
next year or more will be such as to
render 1t imperative from the stand
point of national interest that our pro-
duction of sugar be at least maintained
at its present level. 1t will in fact be
highly desirable to enlarge it If the
stocks of seed available for planting
in 1918 shall permit of this.

The importance Of keeping up the
sugar beet acreage 50 as To guarantee
at least normal production is urged
upon farmers by the department of
agriculture. Production for next year
is necessarily limited by the available
seed supply and to the relatively small
areas where there are beet sugar mills
Consequently many sections Of the
country in which soil and climatic con-
diti0nS are suitable f1E a much greater
production of beet sugar probably can
not be utilized
Because of the impractiCability of

sugar beet production is limited TO the
areas in the vicinity Of the sugar mills,

FAVOR SELF FEEDERS
Quick and Economical Plan for
Finishing Market Hogs.
Corn in One Compartment and Tank
age or Cottonseed Meal in Other
Is Recommended by Expert of
Mississippi Station.

(By l. W. CARPENTER, Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station)
1t is to the interest of farmers hav-
ing hogs to be&enished either for mar
ket or butchering this winter to get
them ready in the quickest and most
economical way, since the prices OF
feedstuffs are so high. This can best
be done by putting the hogs on self
feeder with corn in one compartment
and either tankage or cottonseed meal
in the other A self-feeder is nothing
more than a hopper, which allows the
feed to come down as needed by the
hogs. and at the same time prevents
waste as it is necessary for the feed
already down to be eaten away before
any more comes down. These feeders
can be made on almost any farm out OF
scrap lumber, If necessary.
Self-feeders pay, even though there
are only a few hogs to be fed. They
have uniformity given better results
than hand feeding. Hogs not only
make larger daily gains, but the same
amount Of feed will make more pork
This evidently can be accounted Tor Dy
the fact that the hog was allowed to
eat at will, consequently never gorges
itself, thus enabling it to digest its food
more thoroughly.
For the greatest and most economi'
cal gains it Is essential to have either
tankage or cottonseed meal In addition
to corn, as this gives the needed bal
anced ration. It will also harden pork
faster than corn alone. AS long al
there Is corn In the self-feeder there
Ia no danger of the hogs eating enough
cottonseed meal to injure them.
In addition to the feeds In the self
feeder, the hogs should be given plenty
of fresh water and dry quarters te
sleep in. as it is impossible for them te
do theie. best in filthy pen. Too. tht
best quality OF pork will not be secured
from hogs in filthy pens
