GRAZING CROPS FOR HOGS.

The following grazing crops will
give good results in the sand hill
section, for hog raising:
Two Acres of Permanent Pasture
Burmuda Preferred.
First Year Crops.
Plot (D-Corn and Velvet Beans
with Peanuts in middles.
Plot (2)-Com and Velvet Beans
with Peanuts in middles.
Plot Goats and Rape followed
by Corn and Soy Beans with Pea
nuts in Middles. Goats, Rye and
Rape in falD.
Plot Goats and Rape followed
by Corn and Soy Beans with Pea
nuts in middles. Goats, Rye and
Rape in falD.
Plot t5)-Early Peas followed by
Rye, Rape and Vetch in Aug.
Second Year Crops.
Rotate plots / and 2 with plots 3
and 4 and repeat crops ON 5.
This acreage, if well fertilized, will
support one SOW and two filters of
six pigs each, per year, and will
furnish grazing practically through
the year. The corn in the velvet
bean areas I and p should be gath
eted to supplement green grazing
While hogs are on such plots alone.
Hogs on green grazing (including
burmuda) should be fed two per
cent of their gross weight in corn
daily.
This rotation will not produce
cheap meat only, but will enrich the
plots within a few years sufficiently
to require only acid phosphate and
potash as fertilizers.
There is no money in purebred
hogs or any other kind il, we put
them in dry lots or pens and de-
pend ON producing, gathering and
feeding them dry feeds alone. Let
the hogs do the work"
The above area 6 acres of grazing
crops and 2 acres of permanent pas
ture) should be increased to double
for two sows and their litters, or rel
atively for any number of sows.
Green grazing is a powerful aid
to hog production, but do not think
for one moment that you can sue
coed on green grazing alone. If you
have tried it, you don't need this
caution.
| shall be glad to answer any en-
quiries or to aid any one along this
line.
Order your velvet beans. There
will be a great demand for them
about planting time. I

HICKSITES BOW !
TO MODERNITY
Want Music, Cards, Dane
ing Omitted From "Ques-
tionable" Ban
JOINT MEETING
OF SEXES FAVORED

Twentieth-century life and the
march Of progress have finally made
inroads into the old customs of the
Hicksite Friends, who met yesterday,
as they have done since 1900, at the
Meeting House, Fifteenth and Race
Streets Philadelphia. Not only did
both the men and women vote in
their separate sessions to institute a
joint meeting of the sexes beginning
today. but also the men agreed that
music, card playing and dancing
should be omitted from the list Of
questionable diversions mentioned
in the Book of Discipline.
II was not without considerable
debate that the Friends agreed to
the demands Of the progressive ele-
ment. The women settled the ques-
ton of a joint meeting first, and a
committee was appointed to walk
across the courtyard in the old
square and approach the men on the
subject Meanwhile the men hac
taken the same action. The main OBJ
jections at both gatherings seemed to
be that separate sessions saved time
obviated much debate and that the
meeting-place would not accommo-
date both sexes.
On the questionable diversions. -
the women took no action. In tho
mems meeting. the educational value
of good music, as made possible in
Evening journal., 1921-05-10

homes by monographs, was empha-
sized by Daniel Willis. J. Barnard
Walton said the question was not so
much one OF morals as Of the proper
use of leisure moments, too much
time being wasted in these amuse-
ments. Finally the consensus Of the
meeting was that no particular rec
reation should be mentioned in the
Book of Discipline, but that ques-
tionable amusements should be those
which "squander time" leaving in
diligence up to the individuals con-
science.
DR.. Pusey Heald. Of Wilmington,
and Thomas A. Foulke, of Amber,
were among those who urged imme-
diate action on the question of
joint meeting in which women could
have an equal voice with the men.
The spirit of the meeting seemed to
favor recognition of "women's
rights"
Disarmament OF nations came up
in the mems session when Daniel
Bachelor urged that the Friends
recognize the Church Peace Union,
now organizing in Chicago. Repre-
sentatives may be sent to the confer
ence late this month.
A budget system, another en-
crsachment of modern efficiency on
thefcustoms of old, was adopted by
both sides at the morning session.
In this discussion, too, the women
reached a conclusion first. 1t was es-
timated that $4,000 would be need
ed for current expenditures next
year, and that economy demanded an
efficient distribution.
Clerks" as presiding officers and
secretaries are termed, were reap
pointed for the year as follows: Nor
gan Bunting, of Darby; Edward Dur
nall, of Swarthmore, and Isaac Mich
ener. Of Ogontz, for the men; Sarah
Griscom, of Newtown; Jane p. Rush

STRAWS PROVE
Spring ARRIVAL
Hay Katies Now Almost as
Popular as in Mid
Summer
HIGH IN CROWN,
BUT LOW IN PRICE

Spring has came-as the poet
saith.
Spring has came. after weeks
OF was it months?-of chill and rain
washed days. Spring has come; you
can tell it by the robins. the rhu-
barb and the self-conscious faces
beneath the new straw hats-the
brilliant new straws which never
sem to ft their wearers' counten-
ances. Spring has came, and, to
misquote the poet once more.
Behold the man. by natures kindly
law,
Pleased with the sunshine, tickled
with his straw.
Straw hats blossomed out yester-
day like roses in June. The big men
bloomed in little teeny straws, while
the little men arrayed themselves
in wide and umbrella-like headgear.
Last years panamas came out in
full force, too, as did those OF the
year before, and the year before the
year before, and so on ad inhnitum.
II appearances count, every man
rushed into the nearest hattery and
as our old friend Spencer has it.,
stumbled at a straw
II straws show which way the
wind blows, they also show which
way a mans mind works BY their
straws We shall know them, as some
wise men did not say. The round
faced man wears a small fiat straw,
thinking it makes his face look thin
which It Doesn't The hatchet-
faced fellow wear a wide-brimmed
straw, thinking it makes his face
look full-which it Doesn't And the
man who is beginning to get on
in years affects a jaunty Panama,
thinking It makes him look younger
than he is-which il doesn'tl
And there they arei
Straw hats have gone up in the
crown and come down in the price
that is to say, you can find them
ranging anywhere from s1.95 to
whatever you may want to pay
And they seem TO have achieved a
snowy whiteness, too. Your friend
in a new straw hat bursts suddenly
upon you like a Jungfrau from the
clouds which hang constantly above
Switzerland. In these early days,
a man wears his new straw hat like
the proverbial chip on the proverbial
shoulder. 1t takes a certain amount
OF courage to wear a brilliant new
top piece on a rather chilly day in
early May.
But the eight hours OF yesterdays
working day made a great differ
ence in the number of straws to be
seen in the downtown thoroughfares
They weren't so very numerous in
the early morning. but by moor
many more were to be seen. Will,
evening saw countless men hurryin,
home with a vivid lid upon thei
head and large bags in their righ
Z hands; large bags containing thei
discarded winter hats, to be taker
home for next season-or for a
rainy day.
Spring has came-if you don't be-
lieve II go TO the window and look
at the new straw hats passing by.
Take one look at the self-conscious
faces beneath theml Ali Truly
spring is here.

DAIRY
POINTS,
GREATER USE OF PUREBREDs
BY Fractional Ownership of Bulls
Indiana Dairymen Get Benefit OF
Such Sires.

In Harrison county, Ind, where the
"Better Sires - Better Stock" move
ment is gaining headway, dairymen are
making wide use of good, purebred
bulls in an economical manner. By
fractional ownership Of the bulls they
receive the benefit of such sires with
out incurring the entire purchase cost.
In one day recently the United States
Department of Agriculture received
statements from three dairymen in
Harrison county. all Of whom follow
the practice mentioned. The advan-
tage of choice of several sires is the
wider opportunity to make desirable
matlngs, thus Fastening progress in
grading up herd.
In many other localities dairymen
are combining their forces sometimes
with the object of testing bulls before
sending them to the block, sometimes
to save expense, and sometimes to give
local predominance to one breed or
another. An informal combination Of
this sort is often highly useful.
This is not the same thing as bull
association. The co-onerative.bull as
sociation is an institution designed to
accomplish these and many other OBJ
jects, on large scale, by form Of
organization which has been extensive

CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Marked Effect Upon Prices That the
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay
for the Product.

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms. to the city market is the OBJ
ject of an investigation Of practices
I in various milk plants, which is be-
ing made by the dairy division of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Milk losses during shipment
have marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product, and upon the price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses are of two kinds; those re-
sulting from milk souring in transit,
and those from theft, spoilsge and
leakage. Both are believed to be
avoidable if the farmer, country deal
er and city dealer will work to-
gether.
Dealers are being asked to give in
formation on various subjects, such as
the methods used for transporting milk
from the farm to the dealer, the pro-
lection provided for milk while in
transit between dealer and the city
market, and the relative efficiency of
different types of refrigerator cars.

On Bee Diseases.

Clemson College, July 1S.-Com-
plants of dead brood being carried
out from bee hives have reaehed@the
bee specialists, and cases that have
come under their observation have
been identified as picked brood and
suggestions made for requeening to
strengthen the colony.
At this time bees must be watched
with some care, because those hives
that have weak queens will show the
effects. When the hives weaken down
to the point where they are being
robbed by the strong colonies, reduc-
ing the entrance of the weak colony
is.advised so that the guards of the
weak colony are able to defend the
entrance. This must be accomplished
by laying on the lighting board a
brick or block. Instead of this a
board containing one or more three
eighths-inch holes may be fitted over
the entrance.
Attention is. directed that the
strong honey flow is over in most
sections, but there is an abundant
honey dew in many parts of the
state, and bees are working heavily
on it.
This is the time of the year to
start building up colonies of bees so
that they may gather sufficient
stores and be sufficiently strong to
winter successfully.

A Hide and a Shoe.

It has been said that the entire in.
dustrial problem is wrapped up in a
cowhide and pair of shoes made out
of it. Let us see about that.
A farmer takes good sized cow
hide to market and gets 81 for it. He
then steps across the street and buys
himself a pair of shoes made out OF
a cowhide, just like the one ne has
sold, and he pays So for the shoes.
What has happened to make such
a difference between the price paid
for cowhide out of which at least
six pairs of shoes could be made, and
the price which the farmer must pay
for one pair, or one-sixth of the cow
hide? Several things have happened.
The cowhide must be tanned and
put in shape to make shoes. The
leather then passes through certain
hands in trade before it reaches the
shoe manufacturer. The shoe man has
in his employ, we will say, several
hundred men, each group of which
does certain fixed amount of work
each day and on certain part of the
shoe. Add also to the leather what
are know as findings" cloth, the
metal hooks around which the shoe
strings are wound, and the polish
which finally makes the shoe market
able.
But the matter of the wages paid
to the different workmen in these
different factories and then to the
actual makers of the shoes, together
with the hours of labor spent in the
making added to the overhead ex-
pense of the shoe manufacturer, add
ed to the profit he and all the other
manufacturers demand for carrying
on the business of making shoes do
not explain to the political scientist
the great difference between the
price paid the farmer for the cowhide
and the price he had to pay for one
pair of shoes made out of it. Eight
times as much is too much. Especial
ly when we remember that the far
mer is not paying eight times as
much for cowhide that makes one
pair. of shoes.
How proud old Brindle must be to
think that although her hide is worth
only 81 in the market, yet when she
has been made into shoes for the far
mer her hide is worth forty-eight
times as much! So! Bossy! Stand still
while the political economists figure
out the cause. For it is beyond the
intellect of Old Man Ultimate Con-.
sumer.

Value of Organic Matter in
the Soil.

Clemson College, July 19.-Plants
obey the injunction of Tennyson by
rising on stepping stones Of their
dead selves to higher things says
N. E. Winters, extension agronomist
who states that each generation of
plants lives largely on what was left
by preceding plants what it adds
from the air and the sunshine.
Organic matter is therefore the
most valuable constituent of the soil.
AS it is residue from former plants,
its abundance in soil forms re-
cord of past treatment and a guide
to the future productive power. 1t
is well known that the presence of or
ganic matter benefits both the physi-
cal and chemical properties of soils.
Most profit in any business de-
pends upon an abundance of working
capital and a: rapid turnover" AS
soon as a plant is turned into the
soil, this capital is attacked by a
"wrecking crew" of myriads of mi
croscopic soil organisms that break
it down into it's component parts and
make it ready to be used in building
a new plant.
In other words, organic matter is
a storehouse in the soil holding 95
per cent of the nitrogen, often 80 per
cent of the phosphoric acid and large
amounts of the potash, lime, mag
nesia, sulphur and other necessary
plant food materials in the soil. De-
cav liberates these materials in avail
able forms for the use of plants, and
a large part of the value of good
drainage and moisture control, lin
ing, cultivation, and fertilization is
due to their stimulation OF, this de-

IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY BARN
Many Failures Have Been Recorded
Because of Poor Structures
Building Cost High.

The dairy barn is more than ever
one Of the principal factors in dairy
farm operation. In many instances
dairies have failed or succeeded be
cause of the barn. This year prob,
ably there is more thought given to
barn construction than ever before.
This is because dairymen, farmers and
breeders have come to realize the inn
portance of the barn and because the
cost Of building has mounted so high.

cay process.
Rapidity of Decay Important.

The value of green manure, farm
manure and crop residue often de-
pends on how rapidly they decay in
the soil. Fresh vegetable matter in
corporated with the soil is many
lines more valuable than old car
bonized residues which have resisted
decay for a long time. Only about 2
per cent of the nitrogen in the old
stabilized organic matter of an un-
treated soil becomes available in a
single growing season, while 35 per
cent of the nitrogen in leguminous
green manure crop or rs per cent of
that in stable manure becomes avail
able in the same time. Hence a ton
growth of legume crop cut up and
plowed into the soil may supply more
available nitrogen to growing crop
than seventeen tons of old carbon
lied organic matter in the average
soil.

HAY is ESSENTIAL TO CALF
Roushage Keeps Stomach of Animal
Distended and Allows Food to
Be Digested.

Milk is very satisfactory to furnish
food during the early stages of the
calf's life, but it is the roughage that
keeps the stomach distended and al
lows the food to he digested. When
a calf is deprived of hay, it will not do
its best in growth. Hay is an essential
to the young animal and should al
ways be available.
