Meat Animals
In Combinations

The keeping OF cattle and Of swine
appear to be almost inseparable op-
erations This fact is being brought
out in the returns of the Better
Sires-Better Stock" crusade of the
agricultural colleges, the United
States department Of agriculture, and
cooperating agencies. The general
practice has long been known, but
much more definite information is
being gathered, and the purpose is
to extend it to such an extent as
to determine the relationships among
all meat animals.
If nearly every man who keeps
cattle also keeps hogs, and if nearly
every man who keeps hogs also
keeps cattle, the inevitable conclu-
sion is that the combination pays,
especially when purebred sires are
used. But it remains to be deter
mined what are the most common
and the best paying proportions. The
same thing applies also to combina-
lions of cattle and sheep, or swine
and sheep, or cattle and sheep and
swine. One benefit of the work
will be that it will enable the man
of small personal experience to avail
himself of the wide experience of
q great number of men in working
out the combinations of meat ami
mails that he will carry on his farm.

probably take that much time to do
the work and that under field condi-
lions it might be necessary to pay
labor a better wage for work of that
nature.
The machine cost is put at 81 per
acre. The machine used was a hand
dust gun and sold at retail for
$3.50. One machine of that type
should be sufficient for twelve or
fifteen acres in a season. If we'll
cared for the machine should last
two or more seasons, but if used
by the ordinary farm labor it will
hardly last two seasons. The cost
of picking the extra yield of seed
cotton is charged at the rate of 81
per one hundred pounds. Some farm
ers were paying more than this and
some paid less, but this was esti-
mated as about an average price.

general use and cultivation when the
boil weevil arrived.
Other strains of cotton which can
be planted in north Georgia are Sun
beam, Hooper's Big Boil, and Texas
Burr. Long staple upland varieties
adapted to this section are Express
and Weber 40. Next to Covigton
Toole you will find Council TooIe,
Petty's Toole or Lewis So excellent
strains of cotton to plant.
You 10 not state whether you wish
to grow peanuts for sale to oil mills
or fer grazing down by hogs. In
any event, good seed is an important
factor. There is a wide variation in
the oil content of peanuts, and also
in their ability to yield profitable
crops
Peanuts belong to the family of le-
gumes and as a rule the land on
which theS- are planted should be
we'll lined. We would advise the use
of a ton of crushed rock. There is
no objection to using oyster shell
lime provided you can obtain it in
quantity and at as low cost as the
crushed raw rock. There is no use
of your applying expensive material
like builders lirro -hich is of course
much more costly than the crushed
raw rock We rather favor the fine
grinding of the rock, and it's applica-
ton to the land after it has been
pIoyew. It of course can be put on
any time, but should be applied a
few weeks before planting. Broad
cast It over the land and harrow it
into the soil. Bed for peanuts and
then fertilize with a formula con-
tanning say 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phos phate per acre,
We would like to use some potash
for peanuts, the equivalent saw of
100 to 200 pounds of kainit. This ell
ement will probably be more album
dant than it has been, but it is still
likely to be high priced this year.
1t is not necessary to use nitrogen
under peanuts, for under normal con-
ditions they will secure what they
need of this element from the air.
Plant in 4 to As foot rows and
give rapid and clean cultivation I'M
til the peanuts begin to spread and
peg down, when cultivation should
naturally cease. The White Spanish
peanut is one of the best varieties to
grow for selling to oil mills.

cided to kill it. but do not know any
thing about keeping 1t. Can it be kept
like hog meat? / would be glad to have
a recipe for preserving the meat.
If situated as you are, I would
attempt to form what is called a
beef ring" In other words,
would ask my friends and neighbors
to join in the purchase of some of
the meat you wish to slaughter.
They might wish to slaughter ami
mails later on in the season and, in
that event you could in turn buy
some of the meat they have for
sale. This is an excellent way in
which you could develop a little CO.
operative organization in your COM
munity and so help to solve many
Of your local problems.
Another method would be to cure
the meat by corning it. This is a
comparatively simple process. To
this end, the meat selected should
not be unduly fat, and the parts to
be used should =. be cut into pieces
about six inches square. 1t is i'm
portant that the meat be thorough
ly cooled after Strengthening, but do
not freeze it. Eight pounds of salt
should be applied to each 100 pounds
of meat. Secure a good, tight barrel
which has been made free of objec-
tionabIe ~odors and thoroughly
cleanse by scalding. You under
stand that it will take a first-class
cask of oak for this purpose. Spread
a one-half inch layer of salt on the
bottom of the barrel, or cOntainer,
and then pack in the meat with al
ternate layers of salt. Let the meat
stand overnight. Then for each
100 pounds of meat add four pounds
of Brown sugar, two ounces of bak-
ing soda and four ounces of salt
petre. These materials should be
mixed together and dissolved in one
gallon of lukewarm water. Weight
the meat down, so as to keep it well
covered with the brine. Should the
weather be warm, the water for
making the brine should be boiled
and then cooled. The meat must be
watched from time to time, and if
there are evidences of the brine be-
coming ropy or sour, remove and re-
boil, or better still, make a new
brine. Meat will generally cure
satisfactorily by this method in
from twenty eight to forty days.

they were applied. The cotton was

POISONED areas. The poisoned acre
is charged with loss equal to the
cost of poisoning which amounted to
$6.O5.
Record No. 2 taken on the farm Of
Mr.. Bryant Davis, of Ashburn, Ca,
shows a comfortable margin of prof
It. Three applications were made
here, one rather late in the morning,
nne just at noon, and one late in The
afternoon. The cotton was not ac-
tually weighed, but Mr.. Davis was
confident that the yield on the poiS
cned acre was not less than half a
bale and that the yield on the I'M
poisoned acre next to it was not
more than one-third of a bale.

The land was good in this case and

applications of calcium arsenate
were made. The first application
was made late in afternoon and had
no rain on it for several days. AN
other applications were made early
in the morning, but were washed
off by rain the day applied. The
| last two applications were made on
succeeding days. The first applica-
! ton is probably the only one that
had any effect for all the increase

| this is unusual. The cotton was
weighed separately in this case SO

calculations and it is likely that

than those actually received by the

the poison. We feel justified in ad-
vising the use of calcium arsenate
on cotton that is planted on good
land and is we'll fertilized, if the
poison is used according to recon-
mendatio 1t will hardly pay to
use it on cotton that normally, with
out the boil weevil. produces less
than half a bale per acre. The CAL
cium arsenate has no fertilizer value.
It does not make cotton, but saves
it and on land that does not nor
mally yield well it will not be pos
sible to save enough cotton to pay
the expense of poisoning. The boil
weevil will get a part Of the crop
even when calcium arsenate is used
and it will be necessary to plant on
good land so that the 10 per cent
to so per cent of the crop saved by
poisoning will amount to enough to
pay the expenses of poisoning and
leave profit.
