PLANS FOR HOG PASTURE

Just because hog is usually con-
sidered a "corn-fed," don't forget
that good green pasture is a big
factor in the profit when pork is
marketed. Pastures are green now
but later in the season a dry spell
may leave sow, pigs, and growing
shOtes without generous supply
OF green food. With corn, tankage
and shOrtes high prices, a green
pasture is more necessary than
usual.
A piece of alfalfa or clover field
may be fenced off to provide this
pasture for hogs. If no green field
of this type can be used, it would
pay to manure and pillow one or two

FARMER GETS HOT END

The County Agents Office has just
received an unusual report from the
L. :. Department Of Agriculture
which shows an enormous varia-
ton in the prices paid for nitrate
Of soda and acid phosphate in the
various sections of Kentucky and
other states. This report is up-to-
thc-vcry-minutc as it was printed
in May.
or course, a reasonable difference
in the prices of fertilizers in widely
separated districts in the state il
to be expected, due TO the difference
in freight and battling rates. How
ever. when one farmer has TO
pay twice as much for his fer
tilizer as some other farmer
in another section Of the state, it
cannot be caused by freight or
hauling unless il happened to be
far back in the mountains. Sixteen
per cent acid phosphate was sold
in Mercer county, Ky, for S25 and
brought $40 in Carter county. Nj
trate of soda sold for 800 in Wayne
county and 5000 in Muhlenberg
This difference of 800 between the
selling prices in Wayne and Muh-
lenberg is all the more startling
when one reaizes that Wayne cOun~
ty has no railroad within its Dor
ders and all the fertilizers AMI
other goods must be hauled. In this
connection it is merely necessary
70 give the farmer the wholesale
prices on these two commodities in
New York and he can then figure
approximately what he should pay
for them in his own county. The
wholesale price Of acid phosphate
in New York varied from Sl6.22 TO
$40 per ton during the past half
year. The wholesale price on nj
trate of soda ran from SSl 80 to
$3.50 during this same period.
Bradford Knapp, chief Of the Ex-
tension Work South, in writing TO
the County Agent, said in part.
Nobody can possibly explain
these differences in prices. II is
impossible to reconcile the differ
ences with the wholesale prices.
the freight charges from central
points. or anything else, except the
advantage taken of the fact that the
war disturbed prices and that
wholesale prices were changing
rapidly, Of which changes farmers
could not keep track. It seems TO
me this is convincing proof of the
fact that every paper in the United
States ought to carry a marketing
news service and that the market
news reporting system Of the Blu
reau of Markets ought TO be en-
larged.
"The Department expects to ask
the Directors in the several States
to permit of another survey of
fertilizer prices in the month of
June, the results Of which will be
published as promptly as possible"

The fall Of Robespierre In 1904 in
troduced a more moderate and con
ciliatory spirit into the councils Of re-
publican France. while M the same
time the victorious campaigns Of the
French armies cooled the ardor with
which the hostile princes who sur
rounded the young republic had been
prosecuting the war. The smaller Ger.
