PASTURE cRopss FOR HOGS

From time to time we are asked
to advise as to the best crops to
plant for grazing down by hogs
Fortunately Georgia can offer this
fclass OF animals a wonderfully va
ricd and satisfactory menu. There
is probably no state in the union
where suitable grazing crops can be
utilized for d longer period of time
the land at lower cost or with
less effort. One who expects to
raise hogs i'll this state economically
should depend to Il considerable eN-
tent on pasture crops, because they
afford the cheapest means of main
tanning and developing hogs which
has yet been devised. Animals kept
handled, grow satisfactorily, keep in
a healthy and vigorous condition,
and may be finished off to advantage
1t is true that some of the crops
most largely used produce a soft or
4ily pork. The reasons for this
Noes not seem to be As well under
stood as we could wish. On the
other hand. it seems likely that
through the feeding of corn for sew
eral weeks this difficulty may be
overcome and a hog which has
therefore been grown out compare
lively rapidly and at a low cost
put on the market in a condition
which will insure it's bringing a
profitable price to the grower.
The aim of the hog raiser should
be to have a succession of food
crops come on with the idea of pro-
viding a part of the maintenance ra-
tion during every month of the year.
1t is not practicable to do this al
ways, but there is room for a large

Supplementary Feeds Help Cattle,
H. And Increase Profits for Owners

vantages on experimenting pastures
for concentrates is the fact that
steers so handled can be finished
more quickly and can be marketed
earlier tina nsteers getting grass
alone. Thus the cattle can be sold
before the rush of grass-fed cattle
gluts the market and depresses the
prices. Moreover, when cattle are
marketed early, the pastures have
time to recuperate and furnish good
grazing for other stock during the
fall.
There is only one case, says the
bulletin, when pasture alone is pref
cradle to pastures with concentrates.
Steers Of inferior quality may return
more profit by grazing alone than by
grazing with the addition of supple
mentary feeds, especially when they
are on good pastures that are cheap.
Scrub steers do not respond readily
TO, the use Of good feeds, and even
when well finished do not command
satisfactory prices in competition
with well-bred cattle similarly fin
ished. The better the quality of the
steers, the safer it is to give them

E'Weirdest'' Murder
Mystery Is Solved

NAGAsAKI, Japan.-The wierdest
murder mystery in the history OF
Japan has been solved with the con
fession Of Tokichi Hori, coal miner
that he killed six women and ate
part of their flesh.
The six mysterious deaths present
ed the same puzzle--in each case a
large piece of flesh had been cut
from the victims right leg. All
were killed near the coal mines.
IIori confessed he consumed the
flesh because of belief that only
this could cure him of melancholia
He stated that he had served ten
years in prison for similar crime,
and since had sought the same can
nibalistic remedy every time melan-
cholia possessed him.

Feeding cottonseed cake to steers
as a supplement to summer pasture

unusual current interest.
All the experiments were carried

ture. In each experiment, groups of
steers were kept on pasture alone;
on pasture whit supplementary
feed Of one-half corn chop and one
half cottonseed cake; and on pas
ture with a supplementary feed of
cottonSeed cake. The average daily
gains for each animal, which may
be considered the most valuable
standard in Judging the efficiency of
rations, were 1.49 pounds for the
steers getting pasture only; 1888
pounds for those on pasture supple

corn chop.
Supplements Increase Profits
The initial cost of the steers per
100 pounds of the three groups was
the same for any one year. but in
each case the steers on pasture alone
sold for a lower price. =. The mar
gins between the buying and selling
prices of the cattle were always in
favor OF those which were fed sup
clements with their pastures. The
margins averaged less than % cents

cents for the animals whose pasture
was supplemented with the mixture

animals had been buteheEedg, inspee-
tion showed that the steers which
were fed cottonseed cake or a mix
ture OF cake and corn with pasture
dressed oUt higher than the cattle
which had pasture alone.
While the steers that had pasture
alone made gains cheaply. the total
gains were not large, and the steers
did not take on a high finish. Their
unfinished condition is reflected in
the small margin on which they were
sold and low dressing percentages.
Thus the profits they returned were
smaller than for the steers in the
other two groups. -,
Profits Pay Extra Cost
The cost of gains of steers on
pasture is greatly increased by feed
ing cottonseed cake, it was found,
but the better market prices receiv-
ed for cake-fed cattle usually pays
for the additional cost of feeding
cake, and returns a greater average
profit than is realized on the grass

The government, as you doubtless

The government, as you doubtless
know, has been Investigating vari-
GUS methods of destroying the boil
WeeVll by means of dust sprays. Elk
perlments conducted in Mississippi
for several years have led to the
conclusion that the use of a dust
spray of calcium arsenate is quite
effective. Where about five applica-
tons of this material were made in
the course of the growing season it
was found that the yield of seed
cotton was increased from 200 to
1000 pounds per acre. About five
pounds of calcium arsenate of 40
per cent strength should be used in
each application and the applications
should be made ordinarily about
every two weeks.
The calcium arsenate will cost
about Csc to SOC a pound, depending
on the quantity in which it is
bought. 1t will therefore cost about
$6 or 81 to spray an acre of cotton
If anything like the increase in the
crop indicated above can be made,
however, it will be a relatively cheap
investment with cotton at present
prices. ..'
The spray should be put on late
at night or early in the morning.
The particles of poison are dis
solved in the dew, which the weevil
drinks and is thus killed. The meth

The Food Value OF Velvet Beams
A correspondent wishes to know some
thing about the composition and feeding
value of velvet beans -

thlng about the composition and feeding
value of velvet beans
1t has been demonstrated that vel
vet beans ground in the form Of
meal makes excellent food for cat
tie and hogs, Experiments made
up to the present time indicate that
2 to % pounds of velvet beans in
the pod are at least equal to one
pound of high-grade cottonseed meal
Thus nature has placed at our dis
posal another great and important
grain crop. The more extensively
we grow it the more we increase the
carrying capacity of this section of
the country for our live stock. Its
extensive cultivation means the fur
ther enrichment of our soils in mir
trogen and vegetable matter. 1t
means the practical doubling of our
present yield of corn without IN
creaslng the area devoted to this
crop. 1t means that we will pro
vide most desirable concentrate
which cattle and hogs may harvest
for themselves, while growing fat
without requiring any particular eX-
ertion on the part of the landowner.
1t means that we have an offset crop
to replace any damage which the
Weevil may have inflicted on us.
No more beneficient gift has come
to any section of the country than
the velvet bean has brought to the
southeastern states. 1t is the duty
and privilege of everyone who owns
and operates land in this section to
acquaint themselves with the virtues
and peculiarities of the velvet bean
and so learn how to adapt and util-
ize it on the farm to make it per-
form the largest measure of service

AS long as you can cultivate cot

advise you to continue that practice.
When it gets up to the point where
the cultivator or the Whippie-tfee

Under the conditions described in
your letter and at this particular
it's greatest growth. The roots are
reaching down into the soil. and
gathering. from every available cor
ner as much plant food as they can
absorb. The plants are growing
with greater Vigor than they will
show at any other time of the year.
Under such conditions the plants
need liberal stimulation, 1t is also
of the utmost Importance that every
particle OF water which the soil con
tains be forced as completely as pos
sible through the structure of the
plant and evapor2ted into the air
only by reason of it's loss through

can preserve and maintain conditions
of this character the better are your
chances for raising a maximum crop.
We think it is now getting plenty
late to make side applications, but
cotton, of course, is not advanced
as it has been at this season of the
year in many other years. We do
