Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you Nt Of Interest to the Farmers. 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. THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1902. 1 I Said the Jester J to the King— v Uneeda J|i| Biscuit ffm “Gadzooks!” 4J! J quoth the king— 1 ' * to* /‘lt’s jest to JjJk make a man hungry ■ r __ - . ... NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY JteyAr 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. JJewartville Notes. Mr. R.
