BERKSHIRE HOGS The Berkshire is one of the aristocrats >n the hug, kingdom By tills is meant that the breed enjoys a rather ancient lineage, and since consistent attention ato the selection and breeding has been maintained, the quality of the progeny has steadily risen, and not "run out” as has so often been the case with the so-called human aristocrats. The breed, like so many of those well and favorably known tn the United States, was brought to this country from England, where they were developed to a high degree of perfection in the coun ties of Berkshire and Wilkes. Their na tive home has a mildly temperate climate with a gently undulating landscape and a clay loamy soil. When the breed was first developed will always remain a matter of conjecture. In 1789, Culley, a famous writer on live stock, credits them with being an excellent breed of hogs well known in both England and some parts of Scotland. At this early date they were reddish brown in color with black spots and larger overhanging ears. Thia breed, like many othera was no doubt improved by the introduction of Chinese, Siamese and Neapolitan blood. Professor Lowe, certainly one of the most reliable authorities on the history of live stock tn the British Isles, states that crosses with these breeds were made for the purpose of refining the Berkshire and securing a class of animals better suited for the production of a more deli cate quality of pork. No one man can claim to have improv, ed the Berkshire, though Lord Barring ton, who died in is credited with having done as much if not more than any other single individual of his day and generation, in America the breed has been long and favorably known, and much has been done to Improve the stand ard of perfection. Probably N. H. Gen try, of Sedalia, Mo., would be regarded by those acquainted with Berkshire his tory as the most distinguished breeder tn the United States. The Berkshlres are v said to have been brought to America about ISO, and an English farmer who settled in New Jersey is credited with first importing them. The breed was not imported in ahy considerable numbera however, until many years later, and their general dissemination and favorable recognition did nov commence util about tue middle of the last century. The Berkshire bog has some very well defined characteristics. The face is rather short and gracefully dished. The ears are carried erect and point slight ly forward which gives them a neat and attractive appearance. The typical back is not so broad, for instance, as that of the Poland-China, but is level and has good length. The rump is long with the tail set high, though there is some tendency to shortness and droopi ness in this respect. The jowl is only moderately developed, and the shoulders are of medium thickness, but the hams are well developed. The bone is of fair quality and good individuals stand well on their feet, though the legs are rather short. The color of the Berkshire is characteristic. A black body with a white streak in the face and more or less white on the tail and /pur feet, is preferred. Os course, there are some exceptions to these markings, but they constitute the preferred standard. In else the Berkshire would be classed as medium. Young pigs at six months of age may be easily made to weigh 175 pounds; at one year old, 300 pounds. The ordinary mature boar in breeding condition will weigh about 500 pounds, and the sow. 400 pounds. The breed has a wide adaptability, being one of the most popular in America, and therefore, doing weU. not only In the warmer sec tions of the south, but in the colder states of the north and northwest. Whatever good or bad- points the breed may have, therefore, its ability to adapt itself to varying climatic conditions can not be questioned The breed matures fairly early, though they probably would not be given first place over the Poland- China or Duroc-Jersey in this respect. Some would even rate them below the Chester White, but this would depend much on'the care and management they receive- It should never, be forgotten in a discussion of breeds that there is more in the man than any ether averaging its development. ' As grazers these hogs rank high. They have made a fine reputation for them selves In the clover fields of the west, and they do well on rape pastures in all sections of <he United States Their well known grazing propensities have made them favorites in many sections of the south where the breed is, re latively speaking, widely disseminated and among the most popular. • • • SOILS SUITED TO ALFALFA. W. R. T.. Birmingham. Ala. writes: Will you please tell me the quality of soil required to grow alfalfa hay. and what fertilizers would be necessary. The soil is good black loam with clay subsoil. I have been through several states and think that Georgia has good land, climate and splendid opportunities for the farmer who will see that the work is properly done. There is no business that will build up of itself. It has to be pushed in tne right direc tion. The chances are that the land to which you refer will give its best re sults if planted to alfalfa, after it has been freely limed. You should use. in our judgement, not less than two to five tons of finely ground limestone rock, or about two tons of caustic lime. The objection to using the caustic lime Iles In the fact that it will cause the loss of some nitrogen, but It is much more active than the finely ground Cock, sweetening the soil more efficiently and helping it* mechanical condition. It is possible that, the land referred to is in To the Cotton Growers Os the Southern States Negotiations are on foot to be developed with thirty <3O) days which it Is believed will secure for the cotton crop of the South the price of 15 Cents per pound, basis middling, at every market in the South. We ask every man who has or will have cotton for sale before September 10. 1912. to put It away and hold it until tnese arrangements can te perfected. (Signed) W. T.- AaOersoe. Maroa, Ga. Gee.

If i this be true you should plant it in >cowpeas or velvet beans or osme crop of that character to turn under. When the crop has been turned down in the early fall apply lime, work down a fine seed bed and get ready to plant the alfalfa about the first of October if con ditions are at all favorable as to rain fall. Apply at the time of seeding the alfalfa 1,000 pounds of a fertilizer con taining 10 per cent of phosphorus, 2 per cent of nitrogen and 6 per cent of pot ash. Use western seed which has been recleaned. Fall planting is desirable, because you are not so likely to be troubled with crab grass, which is one of the greatest enemies to alfalfa in the south. It is important that your alfalfa be planted on land that drains well, for it is undoubtedly true that one difficulty experienced in growing this crop in the east is due to the large amount of rain which falls and tends to keep the land too wet at the lower levels, especially for the roots of this crop. Alfalfa has bene grown more or less sporadically at various points in Georgia, and one of the rea sons of failure in our judgment in many localities has been due to the fact that the ground was not thoorughly prepared or properly limed and fertil ised. Vegetable matter is an essential in all soils in this section to be devoted to alfalfa, and liberal fertilization must also be followed. By planting in rows it is possible to harrow or cultivate the alfalfa sufficiently to help keep crab grass in check and thus preserve a uni form growth of it over the land for a much longer period than where the crab grass obtains a foothold. There is no doubt about the opportunities which this state affords for investment along agricultural lines. A GOOD TYPE OF SWING CHURN. T. B. R.. Thomaston, Ga., writes: I saw a swing churn on the educational train when it visited Thomaston, and I would like to have your opinion of it, and what a ten-gallon size would cost. Are they as good as the barrel churn? No doubt the churn to which you refer is what is called the Davis swing churn. One with a capacity of churning 40 quarts at one time will cost you about >l2. We have them and find them quite satisfactory. They are well made and durable and easy to operate, but we could" not recommend them over the box or barrel type of hand churn, which also have the advantage of being if anything, easier to clean than the Davis swing churn. The college, of course, does not act as an agent in the interest of any type of machinery, but endeavors to test out all the different patterns placed on the market, so as to be in position to speak definitely about the merits of the various types offered for sale to farmers. • • • VALUE OF SILAGE FOR CATTLE FEEDING. A correspondent. Kansas City. Mo., writes: "We would like to have your opinion of silage as a feed for cattle. We find that a large number of farmers are without the most primary informa tion in regard to the value of silage, and believe more would erect silos if they realized the value of silage. Silage is undoubtedly the best substi tute for pasture grass which has ever been discovered up to the present time. In some sections silage can be fed and cheaper milk and butter produced than on grass. Os course, under ideal grazing conditions this would not be true, but all the country is not well suppplied with such conditions. Silage can cer tainly be fed in the winter with greater satisfaction to. dairy cows than any other form of roughness, and it has teen demonstrated over and over again, that it furnishes one of the best forms of rough feed for beef cattle. We have had an extensive experience in feeding this material, to both beef and dairy cattle in the south, and publications have been issued discussing the results from several southern stations. Where the silage is fed to either beef or dairy cattle, a little dry roughness can often be used with it to good advantage. Some people imagine because this feed contains corn that no concentrate is needed, and that it will furnish a satis factory maintenance ration. It is too watery for this purpose, and should not be used without the addition of con centrates. There is nothing better than cotton-seed meal as a companion food for silage. In those sections where corn or wheat by-products are cheap, one third of the concentrates may consist of corn, one-third bran or shorts, and one-third cotton-seed meal. In sections where corn is cheap, one-half corn and one-half cotton-seed meal will be found a good mixture to use. Where corn is high priced, cotton-seed meal may be used alone, provided It is fed with judgment and discretion. From 30 to 40 pounds of silage will ordinarily be found the right amount to feed to beef and dairy animals weighing 1.000 pounds. The ration must be varied ac cording to the season of the year and the age and condition of the animal. Any farmer who expects to engage in animal industries must provide himself with silo facilities if he expects to produce beef or milk at remunerative prices. . The silo has the advantage of nat only storing a large quantity of food into a small space, but preserving it in ideal condition at a realtively low cost. Silos have been so extensively used that their efficiency and desirability have been established beyond question. • • • A. A. P... Carrollton.

Moore, president of the chamber of commerce, told E. R. Du Bose, of the Chamberlin-John son-Dußose company, in a conversa tion a few days ago, that since the organization of the boys' com clubs over the state the yield had increased >10,000,000 in the past five years, be did not know that his statement would become generally known. * It sounded almost impossible to Mr. Du Bose, that there could be such an Increase in the corn crop, and he told lots of his friends about it. Several of them went to Mr. Moore, the author of the story, and wanted to know how he knew. He just knew, he said? hut in order to substantiate his figures and show the unbelieving that he knew whereof he spoke, Mr. Moore wrote J. Phil Campbel. state agent for the boys’ and girls' com club work. Mr. Campbell answered immediate ly. and on receipt of the information that the increase was triple that claimed by him, wrote Mr. Dußose as follows: “In seeking information relative to the Increased yield of corn in this state, and the revenue derived there from, I quote from a letter of J. Phil Campbell, connected with the State College of Agriculture, Athens, Ga.. be ing state agent for the boys’ and girls' corn club work: " 'The boys' corn club work has been in progress tn Georgia since 1905; the demonstration work since 1908. The corn clubs were not organized by the University of Georgia until 1909, sin:e then they have been directed by both the State College of Agriculture and the demonstration work in co-opera tion. “ 'The average yield per acre at the beginning of the corn club and dem onstration work was a little more than 10 bushels; the total yield about 45,000,000 bushels. The average yini/l last year was 16 bushes per acre, and the total yield 76.0P0.000 of bushels. The average yield per acre in Georgia in 1909 was about 12 1-2 bushels; in 1910 14.3 bushels; in 1911 16 bushels per acre. The total increase in the value of corn in the state in 1911 over that of five years ago (1906) was about >30,000,000.’ "These figures are a little bigger than the ones I gave you, but they show the excellent work which has been done by teaching scientific meth ods of farming. I am of the opinion that a large part of this is due to the demonstration work under the charge of the general educational fund. If you are not thoroughly advised as to this good work, it would be of interest tn you to make an investigation of it." ED T. BROWN CALLS ON WOODROW WILSON BY RALPH SMITH. SEAGIRT, N. J.. Aug. 18.—Col. Ed T. Brown, of Atlanta, was a luncheon guest at the Little White House yesterday. He stopped off en route to New York. Colonel Brown is Mrs. Wilson's first cousin and Is always a welcome visit or. “We didn’t discuss politics,” said Governor Wilson, speaking of Colonel Brown’s visit. “We had a family re union and enjoyed Colonel Brown’s com pany very much.” W, T, Barfield Dead (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Aug. 13.—W. T. Bar field, aged 42 years, and a well known Macon citizen, expired yesterday at his late home, Wood street, South Macon, after a short illness of typhoid fever. He leaves three brothers, R. 8., A. L., and J. B. Barfield, and two sisters, Mrs. N. Billingslea and Mrs. S. Barfield, to survive him. The funeral was held this morning at 10 o’clock from his residence and the interment followed in Evergreen ceme tery. have a cow ..nat has been down two weeks. Her calf is four weeks old. She can get up on her fore feet but not on her hind feet. She eats heartily and seems to be all right every other way. Can you tell me what tb do for her? It is probable that your cow is suf fering from some injury received at the time of parturition, and the chances are that she will regain her normal health in the course of time. Rubbing the affected part with a stimulating lin iment, and giving tincture or nux vom ica in twenty to thirty dram dose.e three times daily until the muscles be gin to twitch is the best treatment which can be suggested. A good lini ment may be made by dissolving one half ounce of gum camphor in eight ounces of alcohol, adding one dram of oil of sassafras and eight ounces of concentrated aqua ammonia. Keep in a bottle with a glass or rubber stop per. This is an excellent liniment but it will blister if used too freely and this Is an important matter to bear in mind. You should examine the feed your cow is receiving, and be certain that it is wholesome in all respects. If you are fading cotton seed meal or other concentrated materials cut them out for a few days and give bran mashes. Any stimulating food will be desirable at this time, especially where the digestion seems to be impaired. • • • UPLAND LONG STAPLE COTTON. M. ,C., Colbert, Ga., writes; Please give me your opinion of the upland long staple cotton. Can I make as much per acre under similar condition as with the short staple? As a rule, the long staple upland cot tons do not yield as well as the short er staple varieties, but much improve ment in this direction has been effect ed by a number of breeders in the past few years. We have been working along this line on the college farm with a good deal of success, and haxe now what we term our Sunbeam cotton which runs from 42 to 43 per cent ot lint, and produces an unusually long, strong and fine staple. The Idea that length and strength of staple can not be secured in upland has now been pret ty well exploded. Os course, to do this requires a proper correlation of various factors in plant breeding, and one rea son why so little progress has been made in this direction in the past is due to the lack of knowledge of trae funda mental principles on Vie part of many who attempt to breed cotton. In my judgment much improvement in this direction will be made in the next few years, and a number of varieties with Increased length of staple will be pro duced for cultivation on upland soils. In choosing an upland cotton for length of staple, however, one should be gov erned by the record the crop has made under a variety of conditions, and should be sure the characteristics claimed for it have been properly en grafted and do not represent the opin ion of the improver alone, who may make too strosg claims for qualities which have not been thoroughly estab lished. THMNMEN OF SOUTHEBST TIRING VOTE ON STRIKE Employes of Twenty Railroads Will Express Views on Wage Increase (Special Dispatch to The. Journal.) MACON. Ga., Aug. 13.—A strike vote is being taken among the conductors, trainmen and yardmen of the railroads in the southeastern systerrt which includes all the lines south of; the Ohio and east of the Mississippi;river, in determi nation of having their wages increased and better working conditions among the numerous lines. ' ' The vote now being fallen will te sent to the general manager’s committee in Washington, D. C., within the next two weeks and if the dehiands of the rail road employes are not granted or •« com promise made, it is probable that a strike will follow that will affect the entire southeastern system, which Includes 20 different railroad companies. W. M. Hamilton, of the Central of Georgia, and H. A. Fox, representative of the Georgia Southern and Florida, are the two representatives of the Ma con lines. They declare that time will be given the managers’ committee to decide on their grievances and if some favorable conditions are not granted, a strike will likely follow. T. S. Moise, general manager of the Central, has mailed a circular letter to every employe of the road that will be affected if a strike is called, asking them to use care and caution before making too broad a step. The chairman, H. Baker, of the general managers’ com •mittee, has issued letters to the differ ent employes which contains statements declaring that the men are now receiv ing “the highest wages tn the world,” and if the railroad companies were to drant requests made of them, they would soon be bankrupt. -The local em ployes of the different lines are working among themselves but refuse to divulge but little information as to what they will do. CANDIDATES OF 8188 HAVE PAID ASSESSMENTS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Aug. IS.—Each of the candidates who have announced for the county and district offices have paid their various assessments to the treas urer appointed by the Bibb county Dem ocratic committee. The limit of the payment of these assessments was up at noon yesterday and before that time checks covering the correct amount were received. -> Every candidate is now in the field working In his behilf before the elec tion, which will be held on August 21. The race which promises to be the closest is the race between Solicitor H. A. Matthews, Judge Robert Hodges and Claud Estes for the superior court judgeship. The race of solicitor general between Judge John P. Ross and Roland Ellis is also one of the most heated. HALL TO TOUR STATE AND SPEAK FROM AUTO (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga.. Aug. 13.—After the leg islature adjourns next Wednesday, Hon. Joe Hill Hall, candidate for governor, will tour thp state in 4^, large automo bile, visiting as many points in south Georgia as possible. He has planned to make about 75 speeches in six days' time. His unique method of campaign ing is quite a good method he thinks. He expects to make a speech anywhere he stops if the crowd is sufficiently large. Several of his Macon friends will accompany him on the trip and aid as much as possible in winning every vote from the sduth Georgia citizens. His main topic of discussion will be the removal of the capitol. TRIPLETS NAMED FOR DAUGHTERS OF WILSON (By Associated Press.) VIDALIA, Ga., Aug.

LAGRANGE, Ga., Aug. 13,-Mid-August estimates made by conservative cotton growers in Troup county on the 1912 yield or no cotton would be made in Troup farmers will bring Into market approxi mately 35,000 bales of cotton this year, despite the fact that much talk has been going the rounds- to the effect that little or no cotton wooud me made in Troup this year. There is probaly 5,000 acreYs less cotton in the ground than during 1911, but the growers contend that the yield will be equally as good as 1212 for the amount planted. Rains during the past week have ma terially strengthened the optimists’ opin ion of the yield, and it is expected that 1912 will bring as much cotton into the market as 1910, the total yield for which year was around 21,000 bales. Corn is in much better condition than two weeks ago and there is considerably more corn in the ground than in any preceding year. 1,571,361 COTTON BALES GINNED BY ALABAMA (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 13.-AU bama ginned 1,571,361 bales of cotton dur ing the year ending August 1, according to figures compiled by State Cotton Stat istician E. M. Ragland. A partial report was submitted to Governor O’Neal yester day. Montgomery county led in the number of bales ginned, the number ginned be ing 56,351. Mobile county ginned only 410 bales. Alabama has 410 warehouses and the number of bales handled by them was 1,279,833. Mr. Ragland declared that he had been unable to get some of the gins to re port. It is believed that when all reports are filed figures will show that 1,650,000 bales were ginned during the year. Troup Farm Sold (fjpw'ai Dispatch to The Journal.) LAGRANGE. Ga., Aug. 13.—After short negotiations, Mr. C. L. Turner, of At lanta, Monday purchased the John Guinn farm, lying two miles north of La- Grange, and consisting of 202 1-2 acres, for a price approximating S3O per acre. The farm has very few improvements although the land is considered very good and Mr. Turner anticipates immediately to build new dwelling and barn and otherwise improve his new property. The price paid for this land indicates a rise of about $5 per acre for lands north of LaGrange. Up until this purchase prices have been ranging from >2O to >25 per acre for slightly improved lands. Other deals are pending In that local ity and the prices asked have been in excess of that gotten for the Guinn farm. GOES FAST ASLEEP ON TRIAL FOR LIFE (By Associated Press.)

G Judge Broyles for Court of Appeals Famous and Efficient “Jedge Briles” of Municipal Court of Atlanta Enters Race on Platform Opposed to Legal Technicalities. To the People of Georgia: In response to many requests throughout the State, I am a candi date, in the primary of August 21st, for judge of the court of appeals. I was born on “the red old hills of Georgia,” and have lived here all my life. I was educated in her public schools, and was graduated from her university. lam deeply interested in all that concerns the wel fare of my native state, and especially in the subject of judicial reform. In Georgia, the law should be supreme! But when we read the list of the murders, robberies, whiskey selling, and crimes of all descriptions, occur ring annually in our state, the record is not one to bring the flush of pride to our cheeks—but rather the blush of shame. What is the reason for this unenviable and deplorable condition ? The people of Georgia are naturally a conservative and a law abiding people. Why is the law held in such contempt by so many of our citizens? It is because they have lost faith in the law as administered m Georgia. They see murderers, rob bers, whiskey sellers, pistol “toters, and other criminals, as guilty as Cam himself, escape justice, day after day, either in the lower or higher courts, through some absurd legal technical ity. The escape of these guilty crimi nals, without any punishment, has two very evil results —firstly, it en courages crime, and secondly, it pro vokes mob law and all the terrible consequences that follow in its wake. If the people of Georgia should honor me with a seat on the court of ap peals, I should decline to grant a new trial in any case, on a technical point where the record showed that sub stantial justice had been given in the lower court, unless the law in express terms commanded me to do it. I have had 22 years of experience as a lawyer and upon the bench, and have practiced in all the courts of Georgia, both state and federal, and have a laudable ambition to serve the people of Georgia upon the next to the high est court in the state. I am closely confined by my present duties to the courtroom, and will be unable to make a canvass of the state, and will have to rely for aid in my candidacy upon my friends, and upon those citizens throughout Georgia, who. knowing me by reputation only, yet have faith and confidence in my character and ability.

Broyles is . a candidate for judge of the court of appeals and he is the “Jedge Briles” of police court fame and he has been known as “Jedge Briles” by the at tendants at his court for more than twelve years. It has been my privilege as a newspaper reporter to , report the proceedings of his court and to write up many of the humorous fea tures that are always found in courts of municipal re cord. While “Jedge Briles” has been a terror to evil do ers, he has always displayed such a profound knowledge of human nature and has possessed so keen a judg ment in the weighing of ev idence that he has dispensed NASH R. BROYLLS justice, tempered with mercy, with an even hand. He has held over 7,000 sessions of his court and has tried over 200,000 cases, and his record has been such that repeated efforts to defeat him, both in council and at the ballot box, have been un availing. When the law was changed making his office elective by the peo ple, the lawless element rejoiced, but the people endorsed him at the ballot box when there were five candidates in the field. His enforcement of the liquor law, his fight on blind tigers and pistol toters is familiar history throughout the state. To the rock pile he has sent men of wealth and influence al though many of the cases were ap pealed, even to the Supreme Court of the United States. His judgments were seldom reversed. Judge Broyles graduated at the University of Georgia in the Class of 1888 and he practiced law for eight years with his father, the late Col. E. N. Broyles, one of the ablest law yers of his time. The firm practiced in all the courts of the state and often appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States. At an early age Judge Broyles was an experi enced and able legal practitioner. As recorder of Atlanta he has not only been called upon to try all classes of criminal cases, but he has had te analyze and decide every phase of the most intricate civil cases, involving the rights of person and property. As a judge of ripe experience, as a jurist well-versed m every phase of civil and criminal law and as a man fearless in the discharge of duty, t he comes well-qualified in every way to fill the office to which he now aspires GORDON NOEL HURTEL. 5
