RYE AS A COVER CROP
The value of cover crops can not De
emphasized too strongly, am} while a
*great variety of crops may be used for
this purpose, jnany of them only give
a profitable return when seeded relative
ly early in the fall. Of all the cover
enpps which may be sown late in the
fall to advantage, there is none superior
to rye. Of course, where it is intended
to use this crop for fall pasturage it
must be sown early, but when intended
merely to act as a cover crop and aid
in preventing erosion and assimilating
and holding much unused plant food as
may be available in the soil, there is
nothing better. Rye also has ' the very-
great advantage of growing under condi
tions where most other cereals would
fall. It has a wide adaptability as to
soil and climatic conditions, and grows
not only well on the soils of the
coastal plain but those of the Piedmont
section as well. It has the very great
advantage of fitting into almost any rota
tion, and it can be seeded after all other
crops have b£en planted and still make a
profitable return to the land owner. It
develops earlier in the spring than
any other crop which makes it
available for pasture before natural or
artificial meadows can be utilized. Every
person interested in the feeding and
handling of live stock knows how impor
tant a factor an early green pasture be
comes- Moreover, it grow’s very rapidly
in the spring, and makes more top to
turn under in a given length of time than
any other crop. It can thus be used to
increase thet vegetable supply of the soil
and still turned under in sufficient time
to enable the farmer to prepare his land
admirably for corn, cotton or other crops
When cut early rye makes a fair qual
ity of hay, and of course, it has con
siderable value as a grain feed for cei-
tain classes of live stock. When grown
for grain it should be seeded at the rate

of •about t>ne bushel per acre, but when
grown for hay thicker seeding is advis
able. When rye can be planted early in
the season, drilling it in wi$h an ordi
nary grain drill is desirable. One of tne
three-hoe drills now* on the market can
also be used to advantage. When seed
ed late, especially on heavy clays, it
planted in open furrows it will make a
better root development and a more vig
orous growth of top. It is a little more-
trouble to seed it in this way, but it ee
an advantage always to plant a crop in
a manner which is likely to insure the
largest return to the land owner.
While rye will grow on a great A'ariety
of soils, including those which are rela
tively poor, it naturally makes a more
vigorous growth and a better return
where the soil is in good physical condi
tion and has been properly prepared ana
fertilized. A twenty bushel crop of rye
with the straw estimated to be 2,000
pounds will remove from the soil about
20 pounds of nitrogen, 16 pounds of phos
phoric acid and 24 pounds of potash. Of
this amount 19 pounds of the nitrogen,
10 pounds of the phosphoric acid and i
pounds of the potash will be in the gram
and the balance in the straw. Where
rye is used for green forage and a yield
of as much as 15,000 pounds is obtained,
68 pounds of nitrogen, 30 pounds of'phos
phoric acid and 98 pounds of potash Will
be removed from the land It is impor
tant to bear these facts in mind and re
member that a crop can only yield ii>
proportion to its ability to assimilate m
proper sequence and quantity the essen
tial elements of plant food as enumerated
above.
In fertilizing rye where it is to be
used for grain, it would appear wise
to supply in commercial forms not less
than twenty pounds of nitrogen, ten
pounds of phosphoric acid and twenty
pounds of potash. On very sandy soils
twenty-five to thirty pounds of the
last named element will not be too
much to use. Where rye is grown for
green forage at least twice these
amounts should be used, and on very
thin and poor land, probably three
times. Of course, where forage is grown
it is well to remember that there will
be at least twice as many plants to
feed and maintain as where grain is
produced; hence the necessity of more
liberal feeding. B.esides, intensive prac
tice has always proved the most profi
table on the American farm. In fact,
it is a lack of this system which is re
sponsible for the steady decline in yield
per acre of many of our staple crops.
In applying fertilizers to rye in the
fall it would be good practice, there
fore, to use an 8-3-6 at the rate of 300
pounds per acre. On thin or sandy
lands the amount applied should be in
creased to 500 pounds, while on soils
suitable for truck production, the pot
ash had best be raised to 7 or 8 per
cent. The reader will at once say that
a surplus of phosphorus has been sup
plied in proportion to the other ele
ments. : The well known deficiency of
most of our soils in this constituent
accounts for advising its use in the
proportions mentioned. Only a small
amount of nitrogen should be applied in
the fall, the balance being used as a
top application in the spring. For this
purpose nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia may be used. The best re
sults with nitrate of soda will be se
cured on land which has been previously
limed, and when the latter is used as a
top dressing, it is generally best to
scatter it over the soil and harrow it
in which will incorporate the plant food
with the soil and at the same time ben
efit the crop.
A suitable formula for use on rye
may be prepared by mixing together 450
pounds of cotton *seed meal, 200 pounds
of nitrate of soda, 1,160 pounds of acid
phosphate and 200 pounds of muriate
of potash. This formula would contain
approximately 3 per cent of nitrogen, 8
per cent of phosphoric acid and 5. per
cent of potash. On lands in a badly de
pleted condition, a better formula to
use might be 200 pounds of cotton seed
meal, 700 pounds of tankage, 700
pounds of acid phosphate and 200
pounds of muriate of potash. In this
instance 100 pounds of filler would have
to be added to bring the gross weight
up to 2,000 pounds. An application of
400 to 500 pounds of this formula
should be found satisfactory on soils
of the type mentioned.
Every farmer should make an en
deavor to plant an area to rye to be
used for one of the various purposes
enumerated. It is a capital investment.
The "seeding of this crop may be fol
lowed with considerable success up to
the middle of December in the average
season. Do not miss the opportunity
which this crop affords to serve the
several important purposes in the econ
omy of Georgia farming mentioned In
this paper.

RECEIPTS FOR CURING PORK.
,T. ft. W., Savannah, Gjd., writes: I
would like a good recipe for making all
pork sausage, and also for curing pork.
Below we give you the best recipes
that we know of for the curing of meat
and the making of all-pork sausage:
The meat must be properly and thor
oughly cooled to insure good keeping
qualities when cured. If salted before
the animal heat is out, the shrinkage
of the muscles causes the retention of
injurious gases, giving an offensive odor
to the meat. Neither should meat be
frbzen when salted as the action of the
frost will prevent the proper penetra
tion of the salt and uneven curing will
result. It is important that m£a£ be
cured as soon as cooled and while still
fresh. Ordinarily 24 to 36 hours after
slaughtering will allow sufficient time
for cooling. A barrel may be used for

this purpose, but a large stone jar hold- j
ing from 25 to 30 gallons is the best
vessel that can be had.
For each 100 pounds of meat weigh
out five pounds of salt, 2 pounds of
granulated sugar, and 2 ounces of salt
peter and mix them thoroughly. Rub
the meat every three days with a third
of the mixture. While the meat is j
curing it is best to have it packed in
a Darrel or tight box. For the sake
of convenience it is advisable to have
two barrels and to transfer the meat
from the one to the other each time it
it rubbed. After the last rubbing the
meaf should lie in the barrel for a
week or ten days when it will be cured
and ready to smoke. To cure nicely it
is advisable to have a cool and rather
moist place in which to keep it.
Pork sausage should only be made
from clean, fresh pork. To each three
pounds of lean meat add one pound of |
fat. As the pork usually used for sau
sage is the shoulder, neck and lean trim
mings, the sausage is quite likely to be
too fat unless part of the fat is re- j
moved and used for lard. Mix the fat
and lean meat together in chopping.
Where a rotary cutter is used it is best
to cut the meat twice. After it is cut
the first time spread it out thinly and
season. One ounce of pure, fine salt, one-
half ounce of ground, black pepper, and
one-half ounce of pure leaf sage, rub
bed fine, to each four pounds of meqt
will suit the taste of most persons. The
seasoning should be sprinkled over the
cut meat and the meat again run
through the cutter to mix the seasoning
thoroughly. This will mix the spices
more thoroughly than can be done by
hand. For immediate use the sausage
may be packed away in stone jars or
crocks to be sliced for frying. Casings
for sausage can be bought at 3 cents
a pound, and at this price it will hardly
pay to clean them at home. Sausage may
be kept for some time in a large jar
if a thin coat of lard is put over the
top.

VARYING THE RATION FOR HOGS.
R. L. H., Chandlers, N. C., writes: I
have two hogs that weigh about 200 pounds
each and they are down in their legs.
You can lift them up and they seem to
stand on their toes like they were drawn
back. They have a good appetite. Would
be glad if you can give me a remedy.
The chances are that you have your
hogs confined in a pen and are feeding
them exclusively on corn. If so, they
are not getting enough exercise or
enough protein and mineral matter to
supply the needs of the body. You
may also be feeding kitchen slops which
may contain objectionable materials in
the form of soap powders used for
cleansing dishes. If so, stop feeding
this class of food. If you can secure a
little digester tankage to add to the
retion of corn you will improve it ma
terially. You should feed in the propor
tion Q.f 90 pounds of corn to 10 pounds
of tankage. We prefer to grind the
corn and mix the tankage with it and
feed as a thin slop. If you have any
skim milk you may add this to the ra
tion also. If you can not secure the
tankage you may get a little shorts
and ship stuff and mix in the propor
tion of two parts to three parts 'of
corn. Let your hogs have some exer
cise if possible. Prepare the following
mixture and put it in the pens or lot
where the hogs can get at it: Wood
charcoal 1 pound, sulphur 1 pound, so
dium chloride 2 pounds, sodium bicar
bonate 2 pounds, sodium hyposulphite 2
pounds* sodium sulphate 1 pound, anti
mony sulphide 1 pound. See that their
bed is dry and clean and well supplied
with fresh litter so as to prevent them
from taking cold and developing rheu
matism.

THREE BALES OF COTTON PER
ACRE.
E. W. B., Madison. Ga.. writes: 1 no
ticed in a paper an illustration showing
three bales of cotton per acre grown by the
State College of Agriculture- at a cost of
$40.00 for fertilizer. Will you ltindly in
form me if the statement is at all true
aud tell me how this was accomplished?
Build Suitable
Hog Houses
When hogs are handled in large num
bers, or where twenty or more brood
sows are kept a hog house large enough
to accommodate the majority of the
stock is often found. This system
has the advantage of enabling the breed
er to handle his hogs with less expendi
ture of labor and time than is possible
if they are scattered over a larger area.
The picture to which you refer is au
thentic and the results indicated were
obtained in the college demonstration
field. The land in this field is a cecil
sandy loam, and previous to coming
into'the possession of the college had
been badly abused. It has been built,
up through a systematic rotation of
crops, the use of yard manure, green
crops plowed under, and the applica
tion of commercial fertilizers propor
tioned so as to meet the deficiencies in
the soil and the needs of th$ crop.
In 1910 a fertilizer test conducted with
cotton where no fertilizer was used re
sulted in the production of 380 pounds
of seed c*>tton; where ten tons of yard
manure were applied broadcast and a
complete fertilizer used the yield be

was used in the drill row with a com
plete fertilizer the yield was 1,861
pounds; where a rotation of crops was
followed, cowpeas .being turned under
to build up the soil and a complete fer
tilizer used with five tons of yard ma
nure, the yield became 2,680 pounds of
seed cotton. In 1911, three 500 pound
bales of cotton were raised on an acre
of land in the demonstration field. This
cotton averaged 41 per cent of lint and
there were about 10,000 plapts on the
acre. Cowpeas were plowed under in
1909. In 1910 the land raised approxi
mately 100 bushels of corn per acre and
the cotton mentioned the following year.
The fertilizer used under the c€tton was
five tons of yard manure per acre un
der the drill row and 1,000 pounds of
a 9-3-4 formula. The variety of cotton
was Sunbeam, a strain which has been
produced at the college. This was nat
urally a) very exceptional yield* but as
much can be grown again on the same
land under the same combination of cir
cumstances. Of course, you understand
that this land was well supplied with
vegetable matter through the rotation
of crops practiced, the use of yard ma
nure and the plowing under of legumes.
It was also liberally fertilized, as you
will see, with a high-grade formula. An
especially good strain of cotton was
used which had been carefully selected
and was well adapted to the soil and
climatic conditions prevailing here.
CANNING SWEET POTATOES

I*. W. R., Portland, Ore., writes: I
would like to know what opportunity there
would be tor tile establishment of factories

IN
There should be an excellent oppor-
portunity for the establishment of fac
tories for the canning of sweet pota-
tics in Georgia. This state is one of
the greatest producers of sweet pota
toes. and they are of superior flavor and
quality, as all know who Wave tested
them. That sweet potatoes and yams

is, shown by the fact that 7,426,131
bushels were reported as grown in the
state in 1909. The area devoted to this
crop is probably considerably in excess
of 100,000 acres. The counties produc
ing more than 100,000 bushels in 1909
were as follow's: Berrien, 126,000 bush
els; Brooks, 101,000; Bulloch, 116,000;
! Ccbb, 152,000; Coffee, 154,000; Colquitt,
118.000; Decatur, 109,000; Emanuel, 129,-
000; Houston, 106,J)00; Laurens, 1^1,000;
Liberty, 114,000; Montgomery, 131,000;
Pierce, 129,000; Tattnall, 112.000; Wash
ington, 131,000; Wayne, 125,000.
Some of these counties you will ob
serve are in the vicinity of the larger
towns and cities of the state, where *the
crop is grown somewhat on the basis of
a truck crop. One would probably find
it more desirable in developing the can
ning industry to locate plants in sections
not so close to the large consuming cen
ters. This crop is so well and favora
bly known in Georgia that the writer
is of the opinion that a little effort in
any community would induce farmers
to grow an abundance of potatoes to
supply the needs of a good sized can
ning factory. A great variety of sweet
potatoes are grown in this state, but
among the better known varieties are
the following: Nancy Hall, -Georgia
Yam, Southern Queen and Porto TJico.
The price varies from 75 cents to $1.50
per bushel, depending on the season of
the year. Yields of 100 bushels per acre
and upward can be secured with ordin
ary farm practice. Under skillful man
agement unusually large yields could
easily be produced. There is an abun
dance of sweet potato soil not utilized
in the state which can be purchased at
reasonable prices.

When such a house seems desirable,
it may be cheap and simple in con
struction, but should be convenient. It
should run east and west, and is most
easily arranged with a row of pens on
each side of an alley way, which ex
tends the entire length of the- building.
The walls may be of one-inch matched
siding, but phould fit very close in or
der to preVent draughts. The roof
should be moderately high, to provide
sufficient ventilation. Quite a number
of windows should be installed in order
to provide sufficient sunlight to keep
the pens dry and free from disease. The
pens should be 7x8, or, for large sows,
8x10 feet.
There are many things to be said in
favor of individual houses. First of
all the hogs can be scattered more, thus
lessening the chances of disease spread
ing through the entire herd. Secondly,
fields and pastures may be utilized re
gardless of their location or proximity
to other farm buildings. Third, such
buildings are quite inexpensive, and the
number can be increased as the herd
increases in size. x
There are many types of these hous
es. For a single sow, the A type is
usually built 6x8 by 6 feet high. The
rectangular type is built 7x8 feet for
one sow, or 9x12 and divided into two
compartments. Those with the higher
roof and with provisions for opening
either the sides or the roof, have so
far proven the most satisfactory.

Queer Disease Causes
Man’s Body to Shrink
And Slowly Kills Him
(Special Cable to The Journal.)
LONDOCt.—Having literally shrunk to
death, Albert Mills, known as "the brit
tle man,” expired and was juried at
Birmingham. For twenty-six years
Mills has suffered from an obscure dis
ease which caused a shrinkage of bodily
stature, and made *-Vn the oblect of
study by medical men from ait over the
worW. The disease was diagnosed as
osteomalacia, and its chief symptom is
the disappearance . of lime from the
body, leaving the bones soft and mis
shapen. It became impossible for him
to move, and for fourteen years he was
confined to his bed.
Before his illness he was 5 feet 8
inches in height, but he gradually
shrank until at the time of his death
he was under 4 feet high, having lost
twenty inches in twenty-six years. Mills
was an engraver, and the first intima
tion of the disease was a stiffening of
the muscles, which prevented him using
his arms freely. After r. time this con-
dition extended to the legs. Doctors *
confessed themselves baffled. He was
without pain, the increasing stiffness
and constant shrinking being the evi- 0
dence of the progress of the malady.

Surely try a ‘‘Danderine Hair Cleanse”
if you wish to immediately double the
beauty of your hair. Just moisten a
cloth with Danderine and draw it care
fully through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; this will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt or any excessive
oil—in a few minutes you will be
amazed. Your hair will be wavy, fluffy
and abundant and possess an incom
parable softness, lustre and luxuriance.
Besides beautifying the hair, one ap
plication of Danderine dissolves every
particle of dandruff; invigorates the
scalp, stopping itching and failing ha{r.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. It goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
You can surely have pretty, soft, lus
trous hair, and lots of it, if you will
just get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or toiiet
counter and try it as directed.—(Advt.)

Thoroughly !
Galvanized Wire
A New and Decided Advance in the
Manufacture of Wire for
Woven Wire Fences
r
#
A Galvanizing of Great Durability, Originally Developed and to
be Found only in the American Steel & Wire Co.’s Fences
T HE American Steel & Wire Company is the first to
develop a THOROUGHLY GALVANIZED WIRE.
It has a thicker coat, a quality more refined, and a
deeply adhesive contact of the zinc and the steel that solidly
unites the two metals, highly flexible without injury, and
having a finish and weather resistance unequalled—a
thoroughly galvanized wire.
There are wonderful records of super-
extraordinary efficiency, such an an auto
tire lasting 30,000 miles; a pair of shoes,
suit of clothes or a wagon showing as
tonishing durability; two ships built ex
actly alike, one being vastly better; or a
certain piece of woven wire fencing ap
parently indestructible under long years
of severe trial.
Years ago, in making and galvanizing
stqel wire, we searched out the reason
for this spasmodic super-excellence, and
found it to be the chance combination of a
high state of perfection, in the finest detail,
of mart, methods, machinery and materials.
We then mastered these fickle elements
of chance by the employment of a tre
mendous manufacturing organization
and brought them under control for
steady and continuous production.
We now announce the final completion of our facilities
for the extensive and permanent production of this thoroughly
galvanized wire. We shall use it in the manufacture of our
celebrated woven wire fences—the AMERICAN FENCE,
the ELLWOOD FENCE, the ROYAL FENCE, the
ANTHONY FENCE, and all our other fences.
These fences are adapted for all field,
farm and poultry uses, and possess
superior structural advantages in quality
of steel and fabric. Dealers everywhere
throughout the country display these
fences and will quote lowest prices.
They cost no more than other fences,
and considering the extra large and heavy
wires used, and the exclusive use of new
thorough galvanizing, makes them espe
cially attractive as the best and cheapest
fences.
