country is the Duroe Jersey.
We had a great number of native
grade brood sows and bred them to
pure blood boars. About so per cent
had good pigs and about so per cent
had weak pigs, more like rats than
pigs. With the best care possible we
could only raise 80 per cent of the
pigs born.
In August 1919, we purchased IS pure
blood registered SOW pigs two months
old and 80 sows six months old. We
also purchased thirty sows over a year
old These are all registered stock
In eleven months only two of these
sows have been lost. One was injured
ard sustained broken hip from which
she died; the other sow swallowed an
oyster she'll and choked to death.
In April 141 pigs were born, as beau
tiful lot of red silk piggies as one
would ever care to see. Five of these
died and today we have in this lot 1876

pigs S weeks old. There are now
hundreds of these beautiful little Jer-
sey Duroc pigs as there are now an
average of forty to sixty new ones
born every week We are working off
all the grade stock and very soon will
have nothing on our stock farm but
pure blood stock. This applies to hogs,
cattle. sheep, goats. poultry and the
people who take care of them. Only
white people are employed and only
pure bloods at that.

stock show in Jacksonville last year.
We have some Hampshires also but
all our effort in future will be directed
to pure blood Duroc Jerseys.
At the Rocky Bayou farm are many
crops growing for stock feed that
are proving most successful.
Japanese Cane.
There is a field of L. acres OF jap
anese cane. This is fine for syrup
and makes an excellent stock food
yielding an average of about 40 tons
per acre. Each ton of cane makes 25
gallons OF syrup. The growing cane

70 build 80 or SO additional narrowing
pens. The lumber is now on the
ground for this purpose.
The little pigs and the sows are kept
IN the narrowing pens for form to IA
days and then are turned out into the
numerous runways. When about three
weeks old the sows and pigs are
turned into a forage field OF oats, rape,
sorghum, cow peas. millet, beans or
rye. Fields of these crops are kept
constantly growing every day in the
year. In winter from December LIST
to March 1st we have fields of oats,

shape for winter forage for our stock

PENSACOLA PIGGERY
AND STOCK. FARM
BY Jno. 3. Perrine, president.

The most inspiring sight around
Valparaiso and next to Valparaiso it
self is the stock farm on Rocky
Bayou.
The present development consists of
q great tract of land. At present there
is something over one thousand acres
under fence and about three hundred
acres in cultivation with more new
land being constantly cleared.
Approaching the stock farm by boat
as you round in Rocky Bayou from
Choctawhatchee Bay you are con-
fronted with most beautiful view. In
a little sheltered cove is the home of
the stock farm superintendent, Mr..
Kelly, in front of which is the boat
landing. To the right is a wonderful
piece OF woodland consisting of about
twelve acres that is most remarkable.
The trees consisting of pines, oaks,
bays and magnolias form a great shade
never penetrated by the suns rays
These trees are of tremendous growth
and many of them are go feet TO the
first green Dough. Some of the most
gigantic magnolia and oak trees in
this district are found here.
It has been repeatedly written by
stock raising authorities that in Flor
ida natural shade is more necessary
for successful hos raising than grow
ing feed. The sun gets very bright
here for Q months at the year. while
the shade is always delightfully."- cool.
I'm this ~ acres Of heavily wooded
land are the run ways and farrow-
ing pens for the sows and young pigs.
All the exerts who visit this stock
farm state emphatcaliy that they never
saw anywhere such a wonderful place
for the purpose it is being used for.
Every run way leads to the water.
On the west side is an artesian well
from which constantly flows a stream
OF pure cold water. Our hogs need
never be thirsty for there is always
pure cold running water whiting easy
reach.
At present there are in the main run
way sixteen farrowing pens and out

about 400 pounds and he is not at all
fat. Valparaiso's Cherry King Orion
is a splendid fellow 10 months old
Valparaiso's Colonel is another fine
baby hog. He is 10 months old. The
two latter boars weigh about $50
pounds each and neither is allowed to
become fat
We have now for sale some of the
pure blood sows and boars in the
South. These are Imperator and De-
fender dams and Cherry King Orion
and Colonial sues. We offer these for
breeding purposes at one dollar
pound.
Our superintendent, Mr.. Kelly, takes
great pride in showing visitors a pure
blood Ruroc Jersey pig A days old
weighing six to ten pounds and a
grade pig four weeks old that does
not weigh so much. Regardless of the
cost it does not pay to raise other
than pure block stock. Thay look
better, they grow better, they are
easier to raise. they grow faster and
they only eat about half as much as
the native hogs.
AT present there are between 500 to
/. 900 hogs on the stock farm at Rocky
Bayou. We expect soon to increase
the number of several thousand

Dasheen.
Dasheen is a fine stock food and
we have large field of it, This looks
like what are known as Elephant ears
and the bloom makes the field look
like a great lily bed. The tubers
average 800 to 1000 bushels per acre
and make splendid hog feed.
cassava.
Cassava is another crop that we are
starting to grow extensively. 1t is
claimed that one acre of Cassava is
equal to 5 acres of corn. The roots
are fed to stock and poultry.
Chufas.
We have between 90 and 40 acres
of Chufas, the most splendid hog food
to be grown here 1t is considered
better than corn and goes 5 or 6
times as far Chufas grows like grass
at the end of each root is a nut often
called a ground almond. Hogs are not
the only animals that like them for
they are really very good eating.
Chufas are worth from 81 to 81 a
bushel and we raise from 40 to 120
bushels per acre.
Napier Grass.
Napier grass is another great for
age crop. 1t has been known to pro-
duce over 80 tons per acre and often
grows as high as Il to Is feet. 1t is
very nourishing and is cut to
times a season and fields two to ten
tons per acre at each cutting.
Kudzu.
Kudzu is another hay crop raised
on our stock farm. 1t is claimed that
Kudzu is far superior to Alfalfa. 1t
is never necessary to replant and
yields from to Is tons of fine hay
per acre and may be cut and cured
in the rain It does not sour like Tim
othy or Alfalfa.
If interested in knowing more of
these truly remarkable crops write the
Florida Agriculture College at Gaines
vile, Florida for booklets telling of
each of these crops. They make truly
wonderful reading as they mean a
great deal to the stock raising indus
try of Florida. Most of these crops
cannot be raised successfully in the
north.
Other Crops.
These crops are not the only ones
growing on the Rocky Bayou farm.
There are great fields of COW peas,
corn. velvet beans, sorghum, peanuts,
and many other crops. Our corn is
fine and bids fair to be bumper
crop.
On the stock farm are thousands of
black berries and about 2 acres of
fine acres of fine grapes and several
hundred young pecan trees. Here also /
are scores of fine shell bark hickory |
trees which vxoy.a loaded with fine
arge nuts last fall.
A Beautiful Place.
There are three residences on the
stock farm and in them live the men
md their families who do the work /
IN the farm.
The farm is the c1eanest and pretti-
ast stock farm in the south. Our hogs
10 not have fees or ticks. They are
put through a dipping vat of crude |

THE FARMER AND THE wAR

"The last battle between the forces
Of evil and the forces of righteous
hess will be fought, not on the battle
fronts of Europe, but in the wheat
fields, in the corn fields, in the gard
ems and in the feed lots of Illinois
and the Mississippi valley"
Such was the prophecy of our
great Governor Frank o, Lowden, of
Illinois, who during the war so
strongly impressed upon the farmers
of Illinois, by word and example, the
necessity OF farming as large an
acreage as possible and producing a
maximum crop yield. Illinois was
indeed fortunate in having as it's
chief executive during this crisis a
farmer and business mana man
who was not only farm born and
farm reared, but was and is, first of
all practical and successful farmer.
Governor Lowden regards agri-
culture as fundamental and in war
or peace he considers 1t. the great
bulwark of society. He believes that
upon the country's agriculture must
depend all worthwhile educational
and Industrial progress. Few pub
lie men have so thoroughly and so
intimately understood the farming
industry and in every instance the
farmers of the state have found him
acting with sound Judgment, rare
ly equaled in government affairs.
Under the leadership of such a
governor is IL any wonder that the
war record Of Illinois farmers is
most remarkable and interesting
story

MUST DEAL FAIRLY
WITH THE FARMERS

"Until a farmer can have a fair
deal, until he can have fair treatment
you cannot hope to increase produc-
ton, you cannot reduce the high cost
of living, and you cannot satisfy the
farmer without increasing produc-
tion," said Congressman ]. N.
Tincher, apropos of the discussion in
the house of the bill making eppro-
priations for the year for the depart
ment of agriculture.
"Of course the committee on agrl-
culture max disagree on details as to
what brings about real market
system, and members of congress
may disagree as to the best way to
bring about that system. whether by
federal control or government own
ership, but / say to you that mark
citing system is the important thing"
urged Mr.. Tincher.
Regarding the milk situation, the
Kansas congressman said: How in
the world can man be happy to live
on the farm when the limit of wages
that the producer of milk can pay for
producing the milk is $50 month,
while the man who is peddling the
milk in the city, is striking for $500
a month"; man who does not have
to have the qualifications, who does
not have to know much, who does not
have to have the intelligence, but
who, simply because he belongs to
some organization and lives in the
city and works 8 hours day, while
the fellow on the Germ works II,
can earn $500 month, when the
price that the farmer receives for
his milk will not justify him in pay
ing fore than $50 month to the
man on the farm. Those are things
that must be reached in some way,
These are problems that must be
solved and the farmer is entitled to
have them solved"
