Summer Feeds for Hogs
The cheapest maintenance of hogs
is effected during the summer
months by providing them with suit
able grazing crops. There are quite
a variety of grains which can be
used to advantage for this purpose.
If planted on suitable aieas, they
provide a satisfactory succession of
grazing crops for several months of
each year. The benefit which may
be made to accrue to our hog owners
through the use of some grazing
crops is not as generally recognized
as it should be. To that end, the
Georgia State College of Agricul
ture has spent a good deal of time
and effort the last few years in col
lecting data relative to this impor
tant matter. Some of the more re
cent findings have been collated and
are now for the first time given to
our readers. ,
The hog is naturally adapted to
feeding On concentrates, but nature
has also made him a grazer. Fork
produced by feeding grain and other
concentrates alone is expensive and
this practice should be avoided as
much as possible in the south where
the growing season is long and the
winter mild. Due to our favorable
climatic conditions and to the fact
that a large variety of grazing crops
are naturally adapted to the south, it
is possible to have forage for hogs
practically the ‘entire year. This Is
a valuable asset because liberal use
of grazing crops is the most econom
ical way to produce pork in that
this system affords a great saving in
the amount of grain and concentrates
required. The grazing System as
sures maximum application and min
imum loss of fertilizing constitu
ents in the manure prbduced as it is
dropped directly and uniformly upon
the soil. In addition, this practice
is in keeping with maintaining soil
fertility and establishing permanent
agriculture.
Hogs on grazing crops make cheap
er gains than when fed in a dry lot
or pen. This is due to a combina
tion of advantages which the graz
ing system offers. Foremost of these
is the fact that green forage furnish
es a succulent, laxative and nutri
tious feed and also forces the hogs to
take exercise. Careful experiments
have proven that green plants con
tain a particular element of growth
not found in grain and some other
concentrated feeds. This element not
only encourages growth in the hog,
but also lends to the establishment
of strong vitality. Grazing crops,
further than producing growth and
promoting development, are of ma
jor importance in keeping hogs in a
healthy and ttirifty condition, and
their use in pork production should
be more generally practiced among
the farmers of the south.
But with all their advantages,
grazing crops alone will not suffice
as the sole ration. Pasture and for
age must be supplemented with a
limited allowance of grain and other
concentrates in order to meet with
success in raising hogs. Too many
farmers have the idea that a few
good fields of grazing crops is all the
feed that is necessary in order to
raise hogs successfully. This policy
of grazing alone is fundamentally
wrong. The hog is designed to feed
primarily upon concentrates. He Is
not adapted to handling as large
amounts of bulky feed as is the cow.
The hog, however, has grazing ten
dencies and the successful hog rais
er makes capital of this fact by pro
viding grazing crops for his hogs,
but he does not rely entirely upon
these crops to furnish all their feed.
Grazing crops can replace a large
portion of the grain required by the
hog, but they cannot completely take
the place of all of it. Both grain
and forage are required. While on
grazing crops hogs should receive
about two pounds of grain per day
for each 100 pounds live weight
and for best results the grain should |
be balanced with some protein-rich I
feed such as tankasre. wheat shorts, i
peanut meal, etc. Protein is a mus
cle building consituent, therefore, a |
feed high in protein and mineral j
matter is very desirable from the i
standpoint of developing muscle,
frame and bone in young growing i
pigs. It is very Important that the i
concentrated feed (grain, by-prod- I
ucts, etc.), be fed regulary and I
punctually twice per day. Os equal
importance is the matter of allow
ing hogs clean, fresh water in liberal
amounts.
In selecting a grazing crop one
should choose a crop that is:
1. Adapted to ’ local soil and cli
matic conditions.
2
3. Capable of furnishing pasturage
for a considerable time.
4 Able to stand grazing and have
ability to grow up again after being
grazed back.
5. Inclined to grow rapidly and

furnish grazing at any time during
the growing season.
No one grazing crop has all of
these assets, but alfalfa, the clovers
and rape are endowed with a ma
jority of them and should have a
place in the grazing scheme selected.
Permanent Pastures
A most economical source of feed
for live stock is found among the
grasses classed as permanent pas
ture grasses. This kind of pasture
being permanent in nature reduces
to a minimum the labor and expense
of seeding. As they do not require
reseeding each year, permanent pas
tures are ready to respond to the
warmth of the first bright days of
the season and thus get on their
way to furnish early grazing. They
are succulent and palatable, and, for
the most part, meet a majority of
the requirements of ideal grazing.
While permanent pastures are most
essential in the production of cattle,
sheep, horses and mules, their value
in hog raising cannot be over-esti
mated. One of their popular func
tions in southern hog production is
to furnish pasturage in case one
forage crop of the selected grazing
scheme becomes exhausted before an
other crop is ready for grazing. They
are the hog producer’s friends in
time of need, and great care should
be taken not to abuse them by over
stocking. Permanent pastures, with
the possible exception of Bermuda
grass, are often ruined by the pro
miscuous rooting of hogs. An inex
pensive way to - stop this is to put
rings in the noses of the hogs. Weeds
should be promptly destroyed as they
not only draw heavily upon the fer
tility of the soil, but retard the
growth of pasture. Profitable re
sults will be gained from pastures
by certain forms of cultivation and
by the application of fertilizers.
The most important permanent pas
ture grasses suitable for hog produc
tion in Georgia are Lespedeza or
Japan clover, Bermuda grass, carpet
grass, Dallis grass, alfalfa and some
of the clovers. .
Lespedeza or Japan clover. This
important legume, known to some as
wold clover, reseeds itself each year
and is a palatable and nutritious pas
ture for hogs. Further than fur
nishing pasturage for a considerable
time during the year Lespedeza .s
an excellent soil builder. It has the
ability to furnish good pasture on
many different kinds and types of
soil ’but does best on the most fer
tile kinds. Lespedeza is a lover of
sunshine and will succeed on light
sandy soils if moisture and sunshine
are allowed. The importance of this
pasture plant is again exemplified
by its ability to grow with other
plants. It is found extensively with
Bermuda grass, although a combina
tion of Lespedeza and Dallis grast?
or carpet grass is not at all uncom
mon. Any of these combintions are
satisfactory as a permanent pasture
for hogs. Due to the fact that Les
pedeza adds nitrogen to the soil,
binds it together, prevents washing,
grows with other plants and fur
nishes excellent pasturage, it is the
most valuable permanent pasture
plant In Georgia.
Bermuda grass. As a permanent
pasture plant for hogs, Bermuda
grass ranks high. It is to Georgia
■what blue grass is to the corn belt.
In feeding value it is practically the
equal of blue grass, although its
chemical analysis will run slightly
lower in ash, protefn and fat. Ker l
muda grass is a creeping plant and
forms a dense sod which becomes
tough and woody if not closely
grazed. As this grass does not come
on early in the spring, .it is advisa
ble to sow Lespedeza or burr closer
or white clover with it. These plants
come on earlier than Bermuda grass
and remain green later in the sea
son after the Bermuda grass has
withered and become wiry. Such a
combination of grasses often makes
better pasture than any one of them
glone.
After a few years of continual pas
turing Bermuda grass shows a ten
dency toward producing a sod-bound
condition on the surface of the soil.
This is not desirable and may be
corrected by plowing early in the
spring. A common practice in break
ing up this sod is to go over the
pasture with a "scooter’ before the
spring growth starts, plowing in
shallow rows at intervals of about
eighteen inches. It is advisable to
follow the plow with a harrow as
this operation will make the new pas
ture come on more uniformly.
Carpet grass: Damp lowlands that
are not heavily shaded are most con
ducive to the growth of this im
portant, permanent pasture plant. It
is found principally in southern
Georgia, and although it does best on
moist lowlands, it will succeed on
highlands that are fertile and well
packed. Carpet grass has a compar
atively broad leaf, a short stem with
creeping root-stocks 1 and its contin
ued growth foi*ms a permanent and
complete sod. In feeding value car
pet grass ranks below Bermuda
grass, but from the standpoint of
producing tender and non-woody pas
turage will excel Bermuda grass.
Carpet grass furnishes excellent pas
ture for all kinds of live stock, but
it may be easily destroyed if hogs
are allowed to root it.
Dallis grass! This permanent pas
ture plant tends to grow in bunches
unless freely grazed. In appearance
it somewhat resembles carpet grass,
although its longer and more point
ed leaves make it easy to distinguish
from carpet grass, which has creep
ing habits. Dallis grass is found
most extensively in Georgia, on the
moist, fertile soils of the northern
part. It rarely succeeds on poor
land. Dallis grass begins growth
early in the spring and furnishes
grazing well into fall. Its combine!!
assets make It a satisfactory per
manent pasture for hogs, ranking
with carpet grass.
Alfalfa is not primarily a perma
nent pasture plant, but wherever it
thrives, it is the greatest permanent
hog forage. When once established
it starts a very early growth in the
spring and continues late into the
fall, thus furnishing pasturage for
considerable time. It grows rapidly
and may be grazed at practically any
time during the season. Its ability
to come back after being grazed
down is remarkable. It is a very
palatable forage and does not produce
bloat in hogs. Due to the fact that
alfalfa is a legume which greatly
enriches the soil and is otherwise
beneficial, some of it should be grown
on every farm that has soil adapted
to its growth.
Alfalfa requires a fertile and sweet
soil. It will not do well on land
that is acid or sour. For best re
sults even the uplands should be
limed before alfalfa is sown. Al
falfa seed when sown on a field for
the first time should be well inocu
lated with the alfalfa nitrogen bac
teria before being scattered on the
soil. This practice of liming the soil
and inoculating the seed is essen
tial to insure a good stand of alfal
fa. In preparing a seed-bed for al
falfa the ground should be plowed
deeply and the soil thoroughly pul
verized and harrowed before the seed
is sown. Great injury will result if
alfalfa is pastured before the crop
is well established. Heavy pastur
ing is decidedly detrimental and
particularly when the fields are soft
or muddy. Since alfalfa is primar
ily a hay crop it is advisable to
practice a combination of mowing
and grazing. After the hay has been
removed the plants should be allow
ed to reach the height of four to six
inches before being pastured. After
serving a short time as hog forage,
the animals should be removed from
the field in order that the alfalfa
may grow on to cutting stage, at
which time it may be mowed for
hay.
Although alfalfa has practically all
the requirements of an ideal forage
for hogs, it should be remembered
that something more alfalfa
alone is required to make an ideal
food for hogs. The nitrogenous crop,
alfalfa, like all other grazing crops,
should be balanced with same grain
and other concentrates. About cwo
pounds of corn or its equivalent bal
anced with some protein-rich feed
per day for each 100 pounds live
weight of hogs will amply answer
this purpose.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I’m coming to you for advice on
how to treat an indifferent and bash
ful boy.
We have been called sweethearts
since little children, but he has al
ways been droll. He says he loves
me better than any one else and the
only one he cares for. He writes
to me often and then quits, and then
writes again. I haven’t heard from
him in some time but have talked to
him and he was real nice. Do you
think he loves me? He has never
been with any other girl. He goes
to school at night and works in day.
Do you think he is holding back on
account of his financial business?. I
think he doesn’t know what to write
about as we have been writing so
long. * How would you treat him
when meeting up with him? He is
twenty-three years old and has
brown eyes. I also have brown eyes
and am twenty years of age. Would
you try to forget him or not? He
has often given me simple presents.
Thanking you in advance and hop
ing to see this in print early.
LONELY BROWN EYES.
Brown Eyes: I would suggest
your going with others and let
him see that you are not depend
ing too much on him. The
young man may be ever so bash
ful but if he loyes you he will
speak his love to you, but per
haps he has gotten to expect that
you are his without any effort
on his part to win you. When
he hears that you are having
other company, and are grow
ing indifferent to him, he might
wake up.
I have written to you once before
in regards to a business course and
appreciated your advice. I am now
working in an office, and want your
advice on something more serious.
I am nearly eighteen and going
with a boy nearly 19, he says he
loves me very dearly and I can say
the same. His sister is a dear friend
of mine and knows our feelings to
ward each other.
He has asked me to marry him,
but I told him I thought we -were
too young. He doesn’t think so and
uurges me to marry him about the
last of June. He is very nice and
makes good money. I care more for
this boy than any of the boy friends
I know. He has not gone with an
other girl since he has been going
with me. Athough I’ve gone with a
good many, but he never says a
word.
But this is what perplexes me.
I have a very dear cousin I’ve loved
since I was very small and as I grow
older I care for him more. Some
times I think I care more for him
than this other boy, but I want ac
knowedge it to my self. He is my
first cousin too.
Please tell me what you think, and
what you think of this boy I’Ve prom
ised to marry. He asked me not to
put it off longer. I know we could
be very happy together.
I am passionately fond of chil
dren, and especially babies, they
seem to love me, too.
Please excuse this long letter, but
I wanted to tell you as near .as I
could my feelings.
I will thank you very much for
your advice. I have learned to love
you through your splendid advice to
girls.
Sincerely,
BROWN EYES.
It seems to me you would
know which one you care the
most for without any • trouble
whatever. I cannot see how one
can love two people enough to
mar? either one of them. I do
not believe in first cousins mar
rying. Some how it doesn’t seem
right . But that is all from one’s
point of view. But be sure and
marry the one you care the most
for, because you will be happier
by doing so.
I am a Georgia girl coming to
you for advice. I am' sixteen years
of age. My father will not let me
go with boys as friends, of course.
I am no fool about boys, but I would
like to have a few boy friends. He
says I cannot go with boys until I
am eighteen. Most all the girls who
live near me go with boys and he
will hardly let me visit any of my

Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit an
other Georgia girl into your happy bund of
boys and girls? Well, as it is the rule,
I will describe myself and go before Mr.
W. B. wakes up. Here it goes: Brown
hair, dark complexion, light blue eyes, and
am fourteen years of age, and am in the
eighth grade. I will close for this time. 4
will close with a riddle: Jesus, the King
of the Jews; if you will spell that I’ll give
you my shoes. Your new cousin,
LUCILLE PIPKIN.
Soperton, Ga.
P. S.—Will answer all letters received
from hny one.
Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit a lit
tle Georgia girl into your happy band of
youngsters? What are you cousins doing
this rainy day? I have been helping keep
the house in order, and I go to school and
am in the sixth grade. Guess you all won
der how I look, so here it goes: Light
brown hair, fair complexion, blue eyes and
am twelve years of age. As it is my first
time, I will close with a riddle: The man
that made it didn’t need it; the man that
bought it didn’t use it, and the man that
did use it didn’t know It. What is it?
Aunt Julia, please print this. Your new
cousin,
JANET HOLMES.
Soperton, Ga,, Box 86.
P. S.—l will answer all letters received.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: This is
my first attempt to write to the letter box,
although I have been a silent reader for a
long, long time; therefore, I do not feel
as a stranger, but as one of the happy
band of Aunt Julia’s cousins, scattered all
over the southland. As all the cousins de
scribe themselves, I will do likewise: I
am about five and one-half feet short,
weigh 130 pounds, dark hair, gray eyes,
and medium complexion. Now how do you
think I look? Like most of the cousins.
I live on a farm and like it fine. Who has
my birthday, September 29? Some of you
cousins write me. With best wishes,
POPE DALTON WEBB.
Elberton, Ga., Route 5, Box 32.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please, may
I come in this morning and talk a wee
bit. As I have been a silent reader of the
happy band for quite a while and this is
uiy first attempt to enter, I will describe
myself: I am 4 feet 5 inches tall, weigh
110 pounds, light hair, blue eyes and have
light complexion and am fourteen years old.
Some of you goid-looking girls write to a
finely boy in South Carolina. Good-bye.
CLEVELAND STEDMAN.

P. S. —Please print this.
Dear Aunt Julia: Here comes another
South Carolina girl wishing to join your
happy band of nieces and nephews.
What are you doing this windy March
day? Have been reading the letters for some
time and think they are just fine. Sure
think you are doing grand work.
I go to school and am in the sixth and
seventh grades. Am fourteen years of age.
I five on a fafm and prefer farm fife of
course. Have written to the letter Box
several times, but guess Mr. Wastebasket
took charge of them. Listen, South Caro
lina boys and girls, the other states are
ahead of ours. Georgia in particular.
Aunt Julia, your poem in the issue of
March 4th was nice. If I chance to see this
in print, I promise to come again. So adieu.
Lovingly, I am,
Your niece, cousin and friend.
ALICE. MARTIN.
Gaston, S. C.
I do everything I can to please him
and tells other people his childhen
are not of any account, when they
know better.
What would you tell him when he
says I can’t go with boys? My sis
ter went with boys when she was
sixteen and he didn’t say anything
to her about it. What colors would
suit me best? 1 have dark brown
hair, brown eyes, fair complexion.
How should I fix my hair? How old
should a girl be before wearing high
heels? Is there any harm to ask a
boy for his picture? Please give
me your best advice through The
Journal. Thanking you very much.
GEORGIA GIRL.
Georgia Girl: I do not agree
with your father at all about
you having boy friends. At six
teen a girl should begin to have
boy friends. I think it teaches
her how to act when she gets
older and is thrown more with
the opposite sex. It doesn’t mean
that a girl should get silly no
tions about marrying in her
head, or run off and marry the
first man who asks her. Per
haps you can talk to your father
about wanting to have boys and
girls in the home. Maybe if you
have the courage to ask him to
let you invite a few boys and
girls to your house occasionally
he will let you. Then he will
see that other girls are haying
good times and you are entitled
to them too. Pay no attention to
what he says about his children
being “no account,” that’s an old
story many fathers have used be
fore. Just do what you can and
try not cross him. Bearn to
think for yourself and do what
you think is right.
I am a young girl fifteen years
old, coming to you for a little advice.
Although it is not altogether about
boys, for it is very little that I go
with the boys and I do not need
much advice about that, but do you
think that I am old enough to go
with the boys as friends? And do
you think I am old enough to let the
boys call to see me? I enjoy being
with a crowd of young people and
having fun. I believe in having a
big time wherever I go, because I
am just old enough to begin to en
joy life. Don’t you think so? I
ride horseback lots of the time. Do
you think that is nice for girls to
ride horseback on Sunday afternoon?
I do all kinds of work —mostly boys’
work. Do you think it is nice for
girls to wear overalls while plowing
and doing all kinds of field work?
What high school do you think is
best for girls? I am crazy to enter
high school. Do I write a good
hand? Well I will appreciate your
advice if my questions are worth an
swering. Hoping to see this in
print. Yours truly,
“MARY.’
I think you are old enough to
have boy friends, and you are
right to enjoy yourself in a
clean wholesome way while you
are young. Riding horseback is
splendid exercise and there is
no harm in it. You are very
smart to do the work in the
field, and wearing overalls is
absolutely in keeping with your
work. A, woman doing a man’s
work should be unhampered by
skirts, and overalls are the sen
sible clothes to wear.
Atlanta has good high schools.
You are right to want an edu
cation. Perhaps there are high
schools in towns near your own.
If so you should try to arrange
to go to school for a while
longer.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
The Taxing- Problem
With the close of the war, in 1918,
it was expected that taxes for sev
eral months might be as high as dur
ing the war period—but nobody ex
pected them to go higher and high
er, until it is getting to be tyranni
cal two years later. There is no
excuse or apology for these soaring
tax rates. We are gravely infornf
ed that the taxable values of the
state of Georgia must produce a bil
lion and a quarter dollars to meet
the present state obligations of this
year. A part of this money must
come from farm lands.
If cotton should seriously de
cline, there will not only be panic,
but collapse to those in debt. The
district agricultural colleges—
twelve in number, are demanding an
increase in maintenance fund of con
siderably more than the amount that
was given to them last year. They
are not building big brick houses as
they did at the start, but they are
demanding $26,000 each in 1920, when
’ SIO,OOO and $12,000 were the maxi
mum in 1918. This is only one il
lustration.
The county I live in is now pay
ing the warrants, issued in 1916, with
the tax money collected in 1919. If
any business concern should thus
exploit itself, it would be in the
hands of a receiver before 'Satur
day night. It goes without • saying
that something -will break, if this
continues.
When the family fortune declines,
there must be retrenchment and
economy. It looks like the thing
works the other way in public busi
ness. The more they owe, the more
they determine to throw away.
It is time to call a halt.
An Unsettled Account With Grand
father Adam
I clipped the following from a
western newspaper:
Ebery provision of nature
may be wise, but I doan’ see
why a body should suffer so in
cuttin’ teeth. A dog doan’ hab
no truble, neber does a coon,
but natur’ gives fits to de baby.
And dis, de preachers tell me,
is on account ob de political
trickery ob Adam. I’se glad dat
he was counted out ob de gar
den ob Eden. Everybody what
walks.de flo’ wid a teethin’ chile
is a natural enemy to dat man.
—Little Rock Gazette.
There are startling statistics re
garding the mortality of infants. I
believe one-third of the race is ex
pected to die before the teething
stage is over—but Grandfather
Adam cannot be made accountable
for such statistics.
We know it is once appointed unto/
man to die, but it is a sad reflec
tion that such a large percentage
should be taken out of life when
they had not sinned or merited the
deathstroke in themselves, as vio
lating any divine law, or the law
governing their own being.
From one other point of view,
these little ones are taken from the
evil to come. They were unfortu
nate in their particular environment
perhaps. When they were too help
less and too greatly burdened with
the evils they had inherited it is
more reasonable to suppose that the
creator in His wisdom took them
away.
The mother grieves over her dead
baby without thinking of the relief
that the baby received and ex
perienced when it could cease to
struggle and to suffer.
Grandfather Adam, by the Jielp
of his consort, Eve, raised two
children with remarkable histories,
namely, Cain and Abel. There could
hardly exist greater difference be
tween own brothers than existed be
tween those two boys, and good
Abel was the one to die first, and
to leave no issue behind him. If
good Abel deserved to live, why
not? It may be possible that the
good Lord does the best thing for
the good baby, when its little life
is only like a ray of light, for an

How Eyes Grow
Keener in the Dark
On entering a dark room after a
stay in the outside daylight the eye
I at once begins to increase in sen
sitivity. At first this increase ap
pears to be slow, but after five min
utes the increase is quite rapid, the
eye acquiring a sensitivity several
hundred times its initial value. After
thirty minutes’ sojourn in the dark
the sensitivity still increases, but
more slowly than before, and after
forty-five minutes or an hour the
maximum sensitivity is reached. The
final sensitivity varies slightly with
different people, but in fully adapted
condition the eye is easily 5,000 or
10,000 times more sensitive than it
was at the biginning.
These facts are obtained from a
study of the sensitiveness of the
eye in the dark made by Selig Hecht
of Creighton university, Omaha, and
published in the Journal of General
Physiology. Mr. Hecht’s study goes
to show that the increase sensitive
ness is due to a reversible photo
chemical reaction within the retina,
involving a photosensitive substance
and its two products of decomposi
tion.
A peep into the . future would
probably be as . unsatisfactory to
most peapie as a backward glance
at the past. -

Mr. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous,
Dangerous Calomel
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury!
• Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
i gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes
,/ into it, causing cramping and nau
. sea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
[ stipated and all knocked out, just go
, to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents,
• which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up bet
ter and quicker than nasty calomel
and vrithout making you sick, • you
just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll
. be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
. besides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will xvake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or
> play. It’s harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like it.
