AbfD SUCCESSFUL FARMING Andrew M, <sovle 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.

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. AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BOX Dear Children: This is rose leaf time. Do begin, to dry the leaves that shatter and save them in jars for next Christmas. If you could only know just what it means to a friend to receive a bit of a sachet made from your own garden; it helps to sweeten all the rest of the year in more ways than the delicious odor of the sachet, too. You dry the leaves and I am going to give you again the for mula for making the pot pourri.

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 girl friends. He quarrels at me and tells me I don’t do anything, when brown hair, 5 feet and 10 inches tall. Now, you all write me a long letter, big, little, old and young. I like little kids better than grown-up people. I sure do think, Aunt Ju lia did a grand thing by taking care of the little French baby. Write soon, both boys and girls. I will answer all. Lots, lots of love to all. LEWIS SUTTON 1 . Dowling Park, Fla., R. F. D. 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. Moore, S. C. 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. A Cleanser for Aluminum The manufacturers of a cleanser for aluminum utensils comment on a recently published advice to use a mixture of ammonia and borax, it one must polish it, that this mixture, unless used very carefully, haw it tendency to eat into the metal, espe cially when used constantly. The best way to keep it bright is to clean it with steel wool and soap. The cleans er made by these manufacturers is a combination of these. 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 DontSend aPenny Here’s a wonderfully attrac-z<*??ft<\ tive Jap Bilk waist at a won-^- - .j®. tierfully attractive bargain 6. i?

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.

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.
