Corn alone proved to be an unde sirable ration for growing hogs, caus ing small gains and unthrift. This condition was more marked, owing to the fact that the lot was closely penned, without pasture; yet the other lots, similarly confuted, made relatively larger gains. Fermented cottonseed meal can be fed in small quantities for limited periods with very gratifying results. These experiments indicate that sev enty-five to ninety days would be the limit of satisfactory feeding. This would depend, however, on the ago and condition of the hogs, the sup plementary feeds and the proportion of cottonseed meal fed. Lot fed a combination of corn and cottonseed meal, in the propor tion of four to one, made larger and cheaper gains for the first ninety days than the lot similarly fed on corn and linseed meal. This would seem to indicate that, when possible, cotton seed meal should be used, since it contains a larger quantity of protein and sells for about one-fourth less per ton than linseed meal. Farmers would, according to the results of this experiment, be safe in feeding fermented cottonseed meal to seventy-five-pound shoats in quanti ties ranging from one-sixth to one fifth the total ration, by weight, for a period of seventy-five to ninety days. The feeding of the four lots of hogs during the first period was more profitable when one part of cotton seed meal was added to the ration of four parts corn than when corn alone or corn and linseed meal in combina tion were fed. In case of linseed meal, however, the greater cost of gain was due to the high price of the feed, and not so much to its lack of efficiency in making gains. Barring this one factor, and the possible dan ger in feeding cottonseed meal, the two feeds, according to the results of this experiment, are approximately the same in feeding value when fed for the time stated. With corn and cottonseed meal each costing approximately $2 8 per ton, the results of this experiment show clearly in favor of the combined corn and cottonseed meal ration, con sidering always the limitations given as to the amount fed and length of feeding period. While Lots 2, 3 and 4 have had a somewhat larger ration than Lot 1, the larger gains during the first period were sufficient to con siderably overbalance this factor. The practical application of these results would not be to feed under the conditions here described, but rather to feed the corn and cottonseed meal in connection with grazing crops, which can be produced so abundantly by Southern farmers. This experi ment was carried on under adverse conditions to render safe conclusions possible. When fed with judgment, cotton seed meal can be made a valuable ad junct to corn as a ration for hogs. It is our cheapest commercial feed supplying protein, and should not be entirely ignored in swine production. Cottonseed meal, when fed in quan tities, as given in this bulletin, will, after a time —100 to 120 days—ap parently reduce the normal gains and profits therefrom. This point should be kept in the mind of the feeder, the amount of feed used recorded, and the hogs weighed occasionally. Accurate judgment will direct when to elim inate the meal from the ration. Aim to feed under the limit, however, rather than over.—Bulletin North Carolina Experiment Station, by R. S. Curtis. Corn Kernels. Early maturity is not conducive to large yields. A long growing season tends to greater growth and more corn. The very early varieties are useful for special purposes, but do not give the largest crops. Remember that you can’t grow large crops of corn economically with Commercial fertilizers only. Corn, of all crops, wants a deep, loose soil, well filled with humus, which usually means one rich in nitrogen and one that will hold an abundant supply of water. Abundance of water at all times being a first essential to successful corn production, level, shallow culti vation which will conserve the mois ture is the best for the corn crop. While too thick planting on poor land lessens the yield, there is never theless more loss from planting too thin than from planting too thick. | Ears of corn don’t grow on anything but corn stalks and if you don’t have the stalks you can’t get the ears. The cost of the corn cron is chiefly in the cultivation. Cheap cultivation 1 means cheaper corn; therefore, use the harrow before and after planting,! the weeder after the corn comes up. ; and cultivators that take one or two! rowß for the after cultivation. The j hoe is too expensive a tool for the' corn field. Better plant one acre of rich land j that will make fifty bushels in corn than three acres that will prcduce twenty-five bushels each. The net profit is greater and the time and ex pense of cultivating the extra two acres will make another acre rich. Yon may be certain that there is much greater feeding value in the ear than in the stalk, leaves and shucks; but. the cow and the horse know better, and whenever they have been asked in a fair manner which has the most nutriment, they have answered that there is little differ ence. Why grow either at a great ex pense and then rail to utilize it? It costs little more to harvest the corn stover than to gather the *urs. Deduct the cost of gathering the oars from the cost of harvesting and shredding the whole crop and you have the cost of the stover. On this basis the cos- of gathering and shred ding the stover is not. oyer $2 a ton. Where hay is not plentiful the mar kets will pay f~'i» $S to $lO a ton for it, and steers will pay sr> a ton for it anywhere if given a fair chance. Progressive Farmer. Does Subsoiling l’ay? As to the economy or utility of this expensive farm operation there is much difference of opinion. The extravagant claims of benefits re ceived from sui>3oiling made by many of the older school of agricultural writers certainly have not been borne out by the tests and experience of the agricultural experiment stations and many practical farmers. On the other hand, there remains to be placed against fh< negative resul 5 of the experiment stations the less care ful but valuable experience of a very k.rgj nhmber of intelligent farmers who are convinced that they have grown larger and more profitable crops after their land had been thor oughly subsoiled. To one who will look impartially at all the available evidence it must ap pear very doubtful if it generally gives sufficient immediate increase in ! \ield to pay for the large expense in | volved. On the other hand, on eer ; tain soils, and, if done when the sub- I soil is not too wet. which it is lik >ly j to be except in the fall, it seems to us : ihat it certainly will pay as one of | the operations •involved in the sciumo of permanent soil imnrovement. \ • Food For Cows on Pasture. Those who keep beef cattle for beef making, of necessity must depend ort pastures for the bulk of the feed dur ing six to right months in the year, but it does not follow that this is host for the dairyman. It is rare that a cow after hr-ring once fallen off in her milk yield for any length of time, will entirely re gain the lost flow during the same milking period. This points emphat ically to the need of a contiuuou. sup ply of feed. Southern pastures are of varied and uncertain quality. Where land is chpap and the pasture of good quality there is no cheaper or better way of feeding a dairy cow, but every where, and especially in the South*, tin? dairyman must carefully guard against periods of short pastures. Against such periods the silo is a:i ex cellent protection, but it is a question now receiving serious consideration by many if soiling is not the most profitable means of supplying gn en forage to dairy cows.—Progrvs ivatr Farmer. Weaning (ho l’igs. Many writers state that if is not a good plan to take all the pigs from 'a sow at weaning time, and o ners advise turning one or two back with the sow after several hours. Our experience is in direct conflict with such advice. The pigs usually have their particular teats which they have selected and which they usually suck. If two or three pigs are left i with the mother or only one or two | be turned back, this encourages the j continued secretion of mill:. In such a ease, if some of the .;sc ! tions of the udder are not emptied, I as is likely to be the case, serious 1 results are more likely to occur than | when none of the pigs are allowed to remain and none are turned with the i sow after having been separated from ! her for a time. We believe the feed of the sows should be very much re stricted and all of the pigs removed for good, or all of them should be turned back once a day for a few days. The latter is the safer plan. Stock Indus! ry Must He Built Ip Gradually. While the local demand furnishes an exceptionally good market for all kinds of farm products and stock raising offers exceptional opportuni ties. it is unreasonable to suppose that men who have for years prac ticed a one-crop system of farming can rapidly change to the successful handling of live stock and the grow ing of crops suitable for feeding them. The change should be gradual, but as rapid as the experience of the owner and other conditions will p-jr mit.—Archibald Smith.
