NATURE STUDY—THE PIG.
Right on th’ high-up fence is where
You can look down on Mr. Pig
An’ his “relations” walkin’ ’round, —
Some of ’urn’s little, some is big.
Th’ little muddy one, off there,
He can’t have on a nice pink dress
’Cause he won’t try so very hard
To keep his clo’es real clean, 1
guess.
An’ w’en your hat it tumbles down—
W'y, they all start to run away,
An’ nen they stand right stil an’
“hark”
At w’at it is that you will say.
But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ ’tall
Till I can get it back real quick,
A-hangin’ by its ’lastic on
My great long fish-pole kind of
stick!
Nen Mr. Pig jus’ grunts—that’s how
He says I ain’t worth listenin’ to.
He will go mind his bizness now, —
There’s ’portant things that he
mus’ do.
He’s goin’ to eat. an’ eat, an’ eat,
Till he gets fat as he can be,
An’ nen our Butcher-man he will
Come ’round admirin’ him, you
see.

HORSE RATIONS.
The following daily rations will
meet the needs of a horse or mule
weighing one thousand pounds and
doing moderate work: Six pounds
corn, four pounds oats, ten pounds
timothy hay.
Five pounds corn, two pounds
oats, ten pounds alfalfa hay.
Four pounds corn, four pounds
oats, two pounds cotton seed meal,
ten pounds hay.
Os course the amount of feed that
a mule or a horse eats daily depends
somewhat upon the individual.
Mules are like men: more feed is
required to keep one than another.
But in a general way the above daily
feeds present a reliable guide.—
Farmer’s Union Guide.
HOGS AS A MORTGAGE LIFTER.
The farmers of the state are be
ginning to appreciate the value of
hte “mortgage lifter.” Two car loads
of pure bred hogs have just recently
been shipped into Talladega to be
distributed among the farmers |of
that county. These hogs were
brought from the west. These two
car loads did not supply the demand;
it is thought that three cars will
have to be shipped in before all of
the farmers, who want good hogs,
are supplied.
These hogs are not to be killed for
meat; they are to be used for breed
ing purposes. The northern and
western farmers have paid off thous
ands of mortgages through the use
of the hog; the southern farmer can
make the hog business more profit
able than the Avestern farmer has
ever been able to make it, because
the profits depend directly upon the
amount of pastures used —and we
have pastures twelve months in the
year.—Farmer’s Union Guide.
How to Cure Meat—Pickled Pork.
Six gallons water, 6 quarts salt, ’4
pound saltpeter, 1 pound sugar, 1
quart molasses.
Make sufficient brine to cover the
meat well. Beef will be ready for
use in ten days and will keep for six
months.
This is also a good pickle to put
hams in for three weeks before hang
ing to smoke.
In curing hams dry, cut and prop
erly brine the hams; sprinkle a little
powdered saltpeter on the fleshy side;
use 3 parts salt and 1 part granu
lated sugar; salt and pack in a pile,
or put in a box. The third day break
up your pile and re-salt with the
same salt; do not add any more salt;
repack and let lay in bulk for one
day for every pound the average ham
weighs; hang up and smoke for ten
days with hickory twigs or chips.
Make a paste of pepper and molasses
and put on the flesh side; wrap in
paper and pack in a box or barrel,
putting new hay cut (in cutting
knife) 1 or 1% inches long between
the pieces to keep them from touch
ing. Be sure to keep the mice and
rats out. This curing is also fine for
breakfast bacon. —W. A. Graham, N.
C. Commissioner of Agriculture.
My method of curing meat is as
follows:
Make a brine strong enough to
float a fresh egg, and place the meat
in it. Let it remain four days. Then
drain oft tl-.e brine and boil and skim
it to remove the blood that has been
drawn from The meat. When cold,
return the brine to the meat after
adding 1 ounce of saltpeter to each
100 pounds of meat. Let the hams
and shoulders remain in the brine
three to four weeks, and the thinner
pieces not more than three weeks.
Hang the hams and shoulders, hock
down, and smoke thoroughly with
corn cohs and green cedar brush.
Then take down and paint all over
with a mixture of black molasses and
black pepper. Wrap in stout paper
and then put in cotton bags and dip
these in lime wash and hang in a
dark smokehouse. The meat will
improve till a year old.—W. F.Mas
sey, in Progressive Farmer.

Your attention is called to the territory traversed by the

No section of the South offers better opportunities. Lands are low in
price, very fertile ant adaptable to the widest range of crops. The A., B.

ning from the coal and iron districts of Alabama to the sea. The devel
opment of this territory thus far has been phenomenal, and seekers of

communicate early with the undersigned.

made in raising cotton, and that is
another reason why Texas should
raise more hogs than have been rais
ed in the states.
If Texas would do what her natur
al conditions enable her to do there
could be raised in the states hogs
enough to supply all the United
States and there would still be room
enough to raise cattle, sheep, corn,
wheat, fruit, etc. Just think of it!
The people of the United States
have a fondness for bacon and ham
and salt pork and sausages and spare
ribs and the other delicacies the hog
gives. One-third of all the swine in
the world are in this country, and
the 47,782,000 head which are here
now, are worth an average of $9.14
each, or a total of $436,373,000.
There are 6,365,000 fewer hogs
than in 1909, but they are worth
$2.50 more per head —the hogs be
ing valued at $81,809 000 more than
in 1909, despite the great decrease
in number. —Fort Worth Citizen.
POULTRY POINTERS.
»»»>»»»»»»»»»>
Corn meal mixed with skim milk
and fed three times a day, all the
fowls will eat, is the best fattening
diet ever tried. Feed in cold weather.
In keeping a poultry plant free
from lice there are two points of at
tack. One, the birds themselves; the
other, the houses, nest boxes, roost
ing boards, etc.
Meat scraps put up especially for
hens may be had in almost any mar
ket, and it is a very necessary egg
producing feed at any time. Crushed
oyster shells are needed also.
Hens will do well on almost any
kind of food if given enough of it,
but they certainly will not and can-
