WHAT CATARRH IS
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in Scott’s Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
It is helping thousands. Try it.

YOU CAN’T FIND ANY
DANDRUFF, AND HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT
Save Your Hair! Make it
Thick, Wavy, Glossy and
Beautiful at Once
Try as you will, after kn applica
tion of Danderine, you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be af
ter a few weeks’ use, when you see
nw hair, fine and downy at first—
yes—but really new hair—growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle,
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is imme
diate and amazing—your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and lux
uriance, the beauty and shimmer of
true hair health.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any—
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment. A small trial
bottle will double the beauty of your
hair. advt.

WHAT DOES IT COST
TO RAISEHOG MEAT?
Cost Returns From 218 Farms
Give The Answer.
An examination of 218 farms located
in Lowndes, Brooks, Grady, Decatur
and Colquitt counties show that in
1916 it cost farmers in this section
|5.88 per hundred pounds to raise
their hog meat. This is the total net
cost and takes in every item as in
terest on stock hogs, rent on build
ings and equipment, dips and medi
cines, etc.
The low cost per pound was gained,
so the figures show, by the farmers
having a succession of grazing crops
and feeding only a small amount of
corn. On the average farm there was
42.2 acres in grazing crops, including
rye, oats, sweet potatoes, cattail mil
let, early amber* sorghum and peanuts.
Rye, oats and rape were planted in
the fall for early spring feeding. This
was then followed by the millet and
sorghum. Millet is generally planted
from March 15 to April 1, and sor
ghum during April. When the two
are planted in alternate rows better
results are obtained.
Early Dent corn and Spanish pea
nuts during March and April were de
pended upon by the fanners as a fat
tening crop and cowpeas were also
used. Ohuras were sometimes planted
in April and May for fall and winter
grazing.
Velvet beans were used in some In
stances and gave good returns. Sweet
potatoes for grazing were planted dur
ing May and June and one adre sup
ported 12.7 hogs on the average for
2.3 months. The velvet beans gave
good winter grazing carrying 3 ma
ture hogs per acre for practically 3
months.
On the basis of the examination of
these farms the following grazing sys
tem has been suggested for ten sows,
one boar and one hundred pigs:
acres permanent pasture of Bermuda
or carpet grass; 7% acres of rye, oats
and rape followed by 5 acres of sweet
potatoes and 2% acres of peanuts; 7%
acres of cattail millet and early amber
sorghum; 15 acres of early Dent corn
and Spanish peanuts; and 50 acres
of North Carolina peanuts in corn.
The data gathered from these 218
farms conclusively show that with the
aid of grazing crops and permanent
pasture hogs hay be raised cheaper in
Georgia than in any other way. The
figures given above are taken from
“Grazing Crops for Hogs,” a bulletin
of the College of Agriculture, which
may be secured free upon request by
writing to Editor of State College of
Agriculture, Athens, Ga.
