GRAZING CROPS FOR HOGS—
If the farmers of Coweta county uro
to raise more hogs they need to grow
grazing crops. One or two hogs can be
raised cheaply by each family from the
kitchon slops and some corn, but if a
half-dozen or moro are grown some kind
of cheap feed must ho had to substitute
for the slopB. Grazing crops will do
this to a largo extent They will also
tend to keep the hogs healthier.
The • simplest plan for having grnz-
in this section is to have a permanent
pasture whero good water can l>e had
at all times with little trouble. This
pasture should have bermuda grass and
lespodoza on the uplands, and Dnllis
grass and whlto clover on the bottom
lands. During the summer there will
always bo plenty of grazing in the pas
ture i but in the spring and fall, when
the weather is dry, the grazing will be
short. At these times n good grazing
crop next to the pasture is needed, if
one is to be supplied, a Held will have
to bo fenced so the hogs can bo turnod
in when the crop is ready. The grazing
crops suited to our conditions are ns
follows:
For Fall Grazing.
Poos—Best for poor lands; very de
pendable.
Soy Beans—Mato more than peas on
good land.
Corn—Should be grown with peas
or soy beans.
Swoot Potatoes—Good on sandy land.
Corn needs to bo fod when the hogs
are grazing, the potgtoas.
Poanuts—Can bo grown on the san
diest landB, but the meat and lord will
not be firm like that from corn-fed hogs.
Tho simplest plan for having graz
ing crops is to fence in with hag wire
a amnll field next to the pasture, and
every yonr grow a crop for spring graz
ing. As soon ns this is eaten down put
in a crop for fall grazing. On poor
land peas are tho best fall crop to grow.
On hotter lands soy beans should be
substituted for peas. But clover in tho
spring and soy beans in the fnll will
require but one plowing during the yei.’,
and will furnish rich grazing all the
spring and fall.
A bettor plnn would bo to have two
lots ,nm! to graze one while tho other
is resting. By doing this more grazing
can be had from tho same area.
Tho amount of land needed in graz
ing cropB will depend on its richness
and the size of tho hogs. A general rule
would bo to allow two ncrcs of grazing
crops for each sow and pigs. This
amount of land should furnish moBt of
the fend during tho spring, and lurgoly
fatten tho pigs in the full.

WHY BABY’S FIRST YEAR
IS SO IMPORTANT—
Have you ever thought why so much
attention is given to baby’s first yeart
Tho reason is because the baby’s body
develops faster during those first twelve
months than at any other time of its
life. Just compare tho tiny new life
—helpless, pink, soft and sloepy—which
is put into the mother’s arms during the
first liuors uftor birth with tho sturdy,
crowing, laughing child who greets its
first birthday. They scarcely seem the
sa/no at all, and this is Nature’s method
of development; it is so wonderful, so
delicate nnd yet bo rapid that any in
terference with Nature’s lawB often
means the Iobb of tho precious life it
self.
Sleep is baby’s best time for grow
ing, and so it ncedB careful attention to
itB sleeping places; every sacrifice should
be made to have itB small bed sanitary,
comfortable and placed in a well ven
tilated place, both day and night. Ev
ory baby Bhould sleep alone. A separate
boil for baby is a necessity, oven if it is
home-made from a packing box. Many
babies are smothored by older persons
lying on them during the night; nnd it
iB particularly wrong for the baby to
sleep with the mother, nnd thus by smell
and touch be kept awake often by tho
suggestion of its feeding time. Of
cdurso, the baby must be made comfort
able in every way—kept dry, properly
fed, its clothing loose, but warm enough
in winter and cool enough is summer-
and then it should be put in its crib
alone, in n quiet room, and left to go
to sleep. Booking or jolting it any way
is wrong, and no baby will want thiB way
of being “put to sleep’’ if the practice
is not begun. In fact, the normal,
healthy baby will go to sleep quite nat
urally if it is trained to do bo.
The first few wooks the baby should
sleep 18 or 20 hours out of the 24. From
one month to one year it should sleep
at loust 10 hours, and of course this
menus a regular daytime nap. This nap
should never bo interfered with, and a
baby should never bo “kopt awake’’ or
wakened for any purpose whatever. Of
ten it is well for the baby to sleep out
of doors after he Is a month old, but he
should always be protected from flieB
and mosquitoes by a netting placed over
Ids crib; and Jio should be shielded, too,
from wind or from any sudden drop in
temperature. Too much attention can
not bo given to tho baby’s sleep; it
ranks in importance with food ob a
moans to preserving baby’s health, and
even its life. Annie Traber,

tost. . The entire tests were repeated four . j
times under different field conditions.
After the treatment these rowB were ex
ninined carefully once a day for 3 days,
and the number of live weevils fotodbon
each row was carefully noted. Tlie first |
series showed a very definite control -re,
action for the molasses mixture and in,
diented that much benefit had been de
rived from the application. Of the re
timlning three series, however, two
showed more mortality in the rows (refit,
od with calcium arsehate than in those
treated with the molasses mixture. In
the four series as a whole there was no
striking difference between the different
treatmnts.
To secure a'still further cheek from
this subject a series of field plat tests
were started, uniform elite being survey
ed, divided in half—one-half treated
with dusted calcium arsenate, while the
other* was trdated with the molasfies
mixture. , These tests are still under
way, hut the results to date are of in
terest. The ten rows in each plat have
been examined daily and the number of
live weevils found on them carefully
noted, ns well ns the percentage of
squares punctured. To date we have
found no definite difference in the square
infestation, and the record of live weevils
collected shows almost three timeB as
many found bn the plats treated with
molasses as on those treated with dusted
calcium arsenate.
Considering these records as a whole,
it is seen that the molasses mixture doee
exercise a certain degree of control over
the boll weevil, but it is generally less
tbnn that secured with plain dusted cal
cium arsenate. -Under certain conditions
it was found that a much better degree
of control was secured from the molasses
mixture than with the calcium arsenate,
but this result was noted only in the case
of very small cotton plants averaging
only a few inches in height, and also
only during exceedingly dry weather.
The latter fact was particularly notice
able and is probably the key-note of the
variation iin results. It seems quite
probable that during exceedingly dry
weather the weevils visit the droplets of
molasses-water raixtilre for the purpose
of securing moisture, but do not follow
this practice to as marked a degree dur
ing normal weather. In other words,
the results so far indicate that dusted
calcium arsenate is superior to the mo-
lasses mixture except during exceeding
ly dry weather and on very small plants,
At the present time the growth of the
cotton plants has apparently- reached the
point where the molasses mixture does
not give any marked degree of control.
Our fairly large scale applications on
an acreage basis showed that it takes at
least one hour and a half to treat one
acre of small cotton with the molasses
mixture, and this would make the labor
cost of the application somewhat greater
than that involved in applying the plain
dust. In view of such results there
seems to be little reason for using the
molasses mixture in preference to plain
calcium arsenate at any time, and it
certainly should not be used on the oot-
