Broom Corn in the South.
It is stated that the price of broom corn is now $l3O a ton, and
that it is difficult to procure it at that price. The value of broom
corn depends upon its color and fibre, the former largely controlled
by the method and care taken in curing it, and the latter due to the
soil conditions where it is grown.
The yield of clean, merchantable broom straw is said to vary
from 400 to 1,000 pounds to the acre. Last year a farmer near Court
land, Ala., planted two acres of broom corn. He gave it 110 attention,
except to have a man one day pull up corn where it was too thick;
It was not ploughed, hoed or cut at the proper time, being allowed
to overripen, and when cut was left 011 the ground until mildewed,
yet from the two acres there were sold 1,295 pounds at two and one
half cents a pound. This corn would have readily brought four cents
a pound had it not been damaged. There are several broom factories
in the South, and they are always in the market for broom straw.
Besides the straw, broom corn yields as much fodder as does
Indian corn, and also from ten to thirty bushels of seed to the acre,
which is very useful for general farm purposes. Removing the seed
.and preparing straw r for market is a simple and inexpensive matter.
The cultivation is similar to that for sorghum and Kaffir corn. The
richer the soil the better the crop. Broom corn will grow, however,
on poor or upland soils. The time to harvest varies with the latitude
from July to September. 111 the South the cost of laud, labor and
living is much less than in the North. —Southern Farm Magazine.
Hog Raising.
Hogs are high. They are bound to be high until another corn
crop is made, because hog feed is scarce and high.
Anybody that has pigs to sell will get a good price for them
during the coming year, for reasons above stated and because sows
are very scarce.
In raising hogs for fatted pork, some prefer Berkshires, some
Poland Chinas, some Chester Whites and some Duroc Jerseys.
Berkshires perhaps please a greater majority of people, for the
meat is fine grained and they fatten easily.
Chester Whites are good hogs, or we found them to be.
Poland Chinas are large and thrifty, but the sows bring small
litters, or we have found them so.
The Duroc Jerseys are the giant hogs but complaint has been
made as to their coarse quality.
But all sorts of hogs will bring good money for a whole year
ahead of us (who ever may live to see it.)
Chicago is the big hog market, and shotes are selling in Chicago
at five and six cents gross weight.
Southern fanners want a healthy hog with frame enough to
pack two or three hundred pounds of meat on its bones and one that
will fatten rapidly, say in ten mouths.
When you keep a hog until he is two years old he simply eats
his head off, that is, if corn is scarce and high, as at present.
We are going to try the Duroc Jerseys for a spell. My good
friend ex-Railroad Commissioner Crenshaw, gave me two pigs, and I
have watched their growth with most pleasing anticipations of wdiat
they will do for us, always remembering the kind neighbor who
divided pigs with me last winter.
They are beauties to be sure, in size and color.
I have but one fault to find with them. As did the Berkshire
and Poland Chinas, they like the taste of chicken too well.
Somebody said, “You will find all fine breeds are chicken eaters.”
Maybe so, but I am going to try poultry wire to keep chickens
out before I quit the hog business for good.
I had a great idea that I could raise pigs on skim milk, but I
have had some to die suddenly under the treatment. Nothing can
beat good corn that I have ever seen, but mouldy wheat is not bad,
if you soak it well as we have done this year.
If you have a grist mill then grind all the hog feed and sour it,
before the hogs eat it. It does make a sound healthy hog grow and
fatten in a hurry.
If there is anything that pleases the average farmer it is a hog
lot reasonably full of hogs, shotes and little pigs, and when itiy new
pigs arrive I’ll tell our Country Home leaders more about them, if I
have good luck. —Mrs. W. H. Felton in Atlanta Journal.
Now Is The Time To Raise Some Poultry.
One time a rich farmer told the writer that the best time to go
into stock or grain was when everybody wanted to quit. He didn’t
own all the land that adjoined him, but he did own several hundred
acres of good farming land and held a first mortgage on a lot more;
outside of this particular notion of his he was just like other people.
Every year we see where money could have been made had we
been able to see ahead. There is hardly a year that some particular
farm product does not nearly double in value.
About seven years ago horses were nearly given away; right
then would have been the best time to buy up the best prood mares
in the country. Some seasons hay is worth a little above the price
of cutting and stacking,* then the first thing we know it is away up
and out of reach.
The indications are that those who raise poultry the coming
season, and lots of it, will get a good price. On account of the
drought throughout the corn belt the last season, thousands of
farmers gathered up and sold everything that would eat corn and
was salable, and hens did not escape the sacrafice.
An extensive poultry buyer told the writer recently that his
business paid better than ever, although he had to cover twice as
much territory to get a carload. It seems to me there is a whole
chapter in this statement for poultry raisers. It certainly indicates
such a shortage in poultry that the poultry raisers will be fortunate j
until the demand is supplied, which will be at least two years of our
best efforts. —M. M. Johnson in New York Tribune Farmer.
One of The Healthiest Instincts of Anglo-Saxons.
“One of the healthiest instincts of Anglo-Saxon nature is to ac
quire broad acres,” said an elderly man. “This love of the soil,
which in England among the better class has for so many hundreds
of years amounted to a passion, has done more to ennoble the nation
and give it its prestige than anything else, and it is of no small im
portance to our national development that young men of education
and social standing so frequently nowadays buy small holdings where
they can live the country life that every healthy mind delights in.
To own a bit of laud is a hostage to respectability and success, and
when it is in the country and carries with it a certain amount of
country living and thinking it amounts to a moral tonic, strength
ening all that is best and most virile in a young man’s nature. Pub
lic spirit becomes aroused instinctively, the affairs of the country
side grow to interest him keenly, his rural neighbors become of im
portance to him, and he grows in touch with the community, as he
votes with them and works with them for the common local inter
ests. It is the ‘bit of land’ that does it all; the sense of ownership
and mutual interests that awakens the dignity and responsibility of
citizenship which k so important to the rounding of a man’s char
acter. And that young men of business are developing such tastes
is a happy augury for the future of town and State.” —Exchange.

Things to Remember.
The aim should be to produce from 150 to 200 pound pigs at
six to seven months old for the greatest profit. Keep on friendly
terms with your herd, cultivate quiet dispositions. Have the hogs
so that you can handle them with ease, quietness and patience will
aid in doing this. As soon as your hogs are ready, sell them; you
have 110 further profitable use for them on the farm. The man who
keeps his hogs after they are ready to go, expecting to get more a
pound, will be very apt to lose money, while the one who sells when
the hogs are ready generally hits it.
The man with the good stuff and who is not overstocked, reaps
the greatest reward, while the one who is overstocked, of course,
under feeds and fails to get out of the business what he should. A
breeder who will accomplish anything by permitting his animals
to lose in growth has the expense and no work done. The fault
with the young breeder is in keeping more stock than can properly
be cared for. There should be no difficulty in seeing which is the
right road to pursue. —Jersey Hustler.
Digestion In The Intestines.
An investigation of the work performed by the intestines in
digesting food has recently been conducted by means of the X rays,
and may possible lead to useful results. One great feature of the
Rontgen radiance is that it will penetrate many substances which
are opaque to light, like the flesh and softer tissue. It will not go
through bone and metal, and consequently the latter will throw
shadows on a photopraphic plate or the screen used for ocular exam
ination of the interior of the human body. For such exploration the
screen or plate is placed on one side of the body and the X ray appa
ratus on the other. The heart, stomach, lungs, intestines and liver
are then faintly outlined, and the spine, rips and pelvic bones are
sharply defined.
Dr. Walter B. Cannon says that by mixing bismuth with food
he could trace its progress all the way down from the mouth by its
dense shadows. Medical men have hitherto supposed that after the
food passes from the stomach into the intestinal canal its progress
was effected by a series of contractions that moved downward like
waves, and forced the creamy product of the stomach’s operation
steadily along. This was believed to be about all the motion that
occurred. Dr. Cannon asserts, however, that he observed an additi
onal performance. The food is held in one place for a time and
churned, according to his account. It is broken up and scattered
momentarily by squeezing and then collected together. Much more
muscular action goes on than most people imagine, apparently.
One inference from this statement is that there is a close relation
between the efficiency of the digestive apparatus and the tone of the
muscles. An important clew is thus afforded to the proper way to
fight dyspepsia. Outdoor exercise and the kneading of the abdom
inal muscles with the knuckles ought to prove beneficial to the
digestion, if this discovery of Dr. Cannon’s proves correct.
