AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
. BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Finishing Hogs in the South
One of the most important prob
lems confronting the southern farm
er is how to finish off his hogs
economically and quickly. It is es
sential that the animals when fin
ished shall kill out hard. In other
words, that the flesh shall be firm
and white and the fat and lean
well interblended. Experience has
now demonstrated that hogs fed ex
clusively on peanuts. while pre
senting a beautiful exterior ap
pearance. produce a large quantity
of soft, or flabby pork when slaugh
tered. This pork is not as desirable
for food purposes as that from an
imals which kill out hard. It is no
doubt wholesome enough, but it ap
pears to cook up more and does not
present as attractive or firm an ap
pearance at any stage of the curing
process.
The production of soft pork means
going in factories and on rail
roads —men everywhere who
are doing real work —have
found just what Bill Clark has
about Blue Buckles- Blue
Buckles always give them com
fort and long wear.

that the farmer is losing from one
to even as high, in extreme cases,
as three cents per pound of weight.
This is a heavy penalty, and cer
tainly, if there is any way by which
it can be obviated, that fact should
be discovered and made a part of
the common knowledge of our peo
ple. To this end a very comprehend
sive hog feeding test was inaugurat
ed by the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and Swift and Company
of Moultrie, Ga. This test was in
progress for eighty-three days. It
started on March 19 and was con
cluded on June 10. The initial
weight of the hogs used. varied
from 98 to 115.5 pounds. The final
weight varied from 143.3 to 224.7
pounds. The average gain per head
varied from 45.3 to 120.5 pounds.
The average daily gain per head in
pounds was lowest with the .group
fed on corn meal and velvet bean
meal in equal parts. The gain in
this case was .55 of a pound per
head per day. The feeds were fed
through a self-feeder. The largest
gain per head per day was made
by the group fed on sweet pota
toes, corn meal and tankage com
bined on the basis of 7.73 parts of
sweet potatoes, 3.27 parts of corn
meal and .90 part of tankage. The
corn meal and tankage were com
bined together and fed through a
self-feeder.. The sweet potatoes were
fed twice daily by hand in such
amounts that hogs would consume
proportional amounts of corn meal,
peanut meal and tankage. The aver
age daily gain per head per day for
this ration was 1.45 pounds. The
next largest gain was made by the
hogs fed on corn meal and peanut
meal in the proportion of 4.39 to
1.90 aprts. .The average daily gain
per head in pounds was 1.42. The
next most effective ration -was the
one in which sheliea corn and
tankage were combined in the pro
portion of 5.37 parts to .42 parts.
The average daily gain was 1.41
pounds per head per day. When corn
meal was combined on the basis of
5.76 parts and tankage on the basis
of .61 parts, the average daily gain
per head per day was 1.40 pounds.
The lowest c«st of one hundred
pounds of gain was made by the
group receiving shelled corn and
digester tankage. The cost varied
from $10.61 to $11.94. The cheapest
gains were made when velvet beans
and corn or velvet beans, corn and
tankage were used together. Nev
ertheless, the increase in weight
was not sufficient to give these
feeds recognition or place over the
other combinations mentioned. The
combination of corn meal and pea
nut meal proved quite effective in
the matter of cost per one hundred
pounds of gain. It cost $12.34 to
make one hundred pounds of gain
when corn meal and peanut meal
were fed together. Apparently, the
best results were obtained from us
ing just enough peanut meal to
balance up the protein deficiency of
the corn satisfactorily. The cost per
one hundred pounds of gain when
sweet potatoes, corn meal and tank
age were combined was $13.32. The
hogs fed corn and velvet bean
meal failed to dress out as well
as the others. The percentage when
this ration was used was 75.3. When
corn and tankage were used, the
dressing weight was 84.8 per cent.
In the case of sweet potatoes, it
was 81.9 per cent. When corn and
peanut meal were combined, it va
ried from 80.7 to 82.6 per cent.
No doubt there will be much In
terest in the prices charged for
the various foods fed. An attempt
was made to put the figures on the
farm value of the crops used and
not on the actual market value.
The shelled corn was, therefore,
rated at $1.25 per bushel. The corn
meal at $1.30 per bushel, the pea
nut meal at $70.00 per ton, the
tankage at SIOB.OO per ton, sweet
potatoes at fifty cents per bushel,
velvet beans at $30.00' per ton plus
$9.00 for shelling and drying. As a
matter of fact, prices will vary up
or down materially from these fig
ures at one season or another dur
ing one year as compared with an
other. That does not affect in any
way, however, the relative value of
the foods used. The question after
all is which type of ration will
make hard pork, make the largest
gain and produce the hog which
will dress-out best. The cost of
these rations may vary some from
year to year, but not more in pro-
portion than will the sale prices of
hogs. If the prices indicated were
all increased materially, as they
might have been with propriety, it
would have made comparatively lit
tle if any change in the relative
efficiency of the rations fed.
The most interesting point in
connection with these tests lies in
the fact that home-produced rations
will accomplish the. ends sought
with economy and profit to the
landowner. Corn, it will be seen, is
the basis of the rations used for
finishing hogs satisfactorily either
in the field, on grazing crops, or
in feeding pens. We do not grow
enough corn. This is a matter of
common knowledge in spite of the
fact that we have doubled the yield
in the last decade. The future ex
pansion and development of the live
stock industry in Georgia depends
on again doubling the corn crop.
When this is done, the soft pork
problem will have been solved and
our stat© made infinitely more pros
perous and successful'than at pres
ent. To some it may seem a very
difficult matter to increase the yield
of corn. This is not true, however.
Better soil preparation, more care-,
ful selection and adaptation of va
rieties to soil locations and the
skillful and liberal use of fertili
zers will enable us to obtain the
desired end.
We have literally millions of
acres of low-lying lands admirably
adapted to corn cultivation which
are not being utilized simply be
cause they need drainage. It will
not take long to accomplish this
end, nor will it call for an unlimit
ed amount of money. We have solv
ed many more difficult and perplex
ing problems than this. If we can
just arouse the consciousness of
the farmers of our state to the nec
essity of raising more corn, we
will then have solved the biggest
question now confronting the agri
cultural prosperity of Georgia.
Os course we can grow sweet po
tatoes in unlimited quantity. The
estimates for this year indicate a
twenty-three million bushel crop in
round numbers. This represents an
increase of nearly fifty per cent
over last year. This has been brought
about ’by the fact that we now know
how to build storage houses and
keep sweet potatoes successfully.
The solution of one simple prob
lem appears to indicate the doub
ling of the crop. Sweet potatoes
have been shown by these tests to
b© an essential and desirable con
stituent of the ration for the fin
ishing off of high grade hogs.
There is no crop cheaper to plant
and cultivate or which will yield
a larger return on our Georgia
farms than sweet potatoes. It is a
crop, therefore, our hog raisers can
make available in virtually unlimit
ed amounts. Let us utilize sweet
potatoes on a broad and extensive
basis in the finishing of pork.
Peanut meal should also, of
course, be used. It balances up the
deficiencies in corn meal. It helps
to make sweet potatoes more serv
iceable and valuable in pork pro
duction. Peanut meal is the resi
due obtained after the oil has been
expressed from the nuts. Nature
never intended that hogs should be
permitted to ’eat up with every ton
of raw peanuts eighty gallons of
oil. Nature is not wasteful, but is
extremely conservative. She covers
up and reclaims th© galled spot.
She regrows the forest. She is all
the time building new soil areas
and accumulating together in dif
ferent spots and locations the ma
terials which man finds so neces
sary and essential to his welfare.
Nature abhors waste, and to feed
peanuts before the oil has been
expressed from them to hogs is an
aggravating form of waste. There
is a marked demand for peanuts.
There is a need for all the oil
which can be obtained because the
world is still short of fats, and
the war has shown how essential
and necessary they are in the hu
man dietary. Peanuts should be har
vested, the oil expressed from them
and the meal properly combined
with corn and sweet potatoes and
fed back to hogs. This is a perfect
ly practicable and rational plan,
and, if put into effect, will not
only increase th© farmers’ profits
from the cultivation of peanuts, but
will enable us to solve the soft pork
problem satisfactorily.

In growing alfalfa the principal

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
Watering Stock
In the olden time “watering stock”
would mean driving cattle, horses,
sheep, all livestock to the pond or
to the creek to get water to drink.
It was a thing that bore weight
upon the minds of hometenders or
emigrants to a new country.
It was well to buy land in terri
tory and new states, or take up
land that was given as bounty to
soldiers in the early days, but there
was also outlook for water, one was
as much’in demand as the other.
But watered stock has a new
meaning and stands for something
entirely different from either swamp
land or drinking water for domes
tic animals. ,
Not unite a few days since did I
discover the name of watered stock
in the financial parlance of our
tme.
Thus the story goes: Daniel Drew
who developed into one of New
York’s >shrewdest money makers, was
a man without means, when he de
cided to buy up cattle for the city
market. He kept the cows and
steers awhile, on pastures, but not
overlap long. He then drove them
near the city’s limits, salted them
very plentifully, led them to a wat
ering trough over night, drove them
to the city early, while they were
swollen with excess water and sold
them to the butchers. Next day
these butchers were impressed that
they had bought watered stock.
Thus Daniel Drew, who accumu
lated many millions of ddllaYS; gAVe
the name of “watered stock” to in
flating railroad certificates and other
financial transactions where proper
ty was or is bought cheap and then
rated and resold at big prices on
the market. It is one of the names
that have stuck. The pioneers who
sought places to water their cattle
and horses soon began to catch
water in cisterns. Later on they
carried water in pipes to barns and
farmhouses. It is only the occa
sional farmer who has natural run
ning water or springs on his prem
ises today. Irrigation, especially in
the west, is providing water to
thirsty stock as well as* to thirsty
cattle on big ranches and dry, sun
parched plains.
But the watered stock connected
with Wall street transactions are
still in evidence at the same old
stand, and speculation is rampant,
all over the United States.
Mining stocks and oil wells are
the present factors in watered stock
negotiations.
The “Get-Rich-Quick Walling
fords” are seen continually. They
are a sleek-tongued race of flnacing,
and deal mostly in watered stock.
But the Chronicler tells us that
shrewd Daniel Drew, with his salt
fed thirsty cattle, to fool the New
York butchers, furnished the name
and tire purpose of what is well
known and daily experienced in Wall
street money circles as stocks highly
watered.
Modest Dressing for Girls
A dear good woman living in Ala
bama writes me to thank me for re
minding the young girls of this era
about immodest dressing and what
evil suggestions follow close upon
th© sight of nude arms and backs
—and bosoms —of latter day styles. I
appreciate her interest and thank
her for her long and appreciated let
ter. It is high time for a change—
and I think this article of mine
should be addressed to the mothers
of these young women. It is a very
serious proposition as to how such
young girls should dress in public
company—when the ultra fashiona
bles are so given to what might
be called undress in public.
I understand perfectly well that
it is the general habit of young peo
ple, of this era, to override the opin
ions and counsels of their elders
We see it going on every day in
our respective communities. Never
theless it is worth while to say that
all these young ones owe obedience
as well as dutiful respect to their
parents. The children are not entire
ly to blame. The mothers, by reason
of something like Indifference or may
be laziness—give up their own ideas
and allow the youthful ones, to pur
sue their own ways.
Discipline is absolutely wecessary
to keep good government in any
family. Somebody must be at the
head whose will is recognized and
understood. When th© young women
marry and set up housekeeping or
homemaking for themselves—then
they are at liberty to order their
own households and their own chil
ctren after their own ideas of pros
perity.
But so long as they belong or
dwell under the roof of the parents,
a Jid are a part of the household
should listen to advice and obey the
wishes of the parents. I have in
mind a family that nearly went to
smash because the children decided
to do as they pleased. They went
where they wished to go, kept com
pany that their elders knew nothing
about, took long automobile jaunts
without asking permission, bought
the sort of clothes that pleased them
selves, in fact, went the pace until
it was a broken up household
wrecked in reputation and money. I
feel assured a great deal of this
wreck and ruin might have been
evaded or avoided if those young
folks had been made to stay at home
and compelleld to wear what the
mother provied for their attire and
prevented from associating with a
rapid set of their own choosing.
It is conceded that there are occa
sionsal degenerates who defy all re
straint and will go where appetite or
passion decoys them; but they are
exceptions to the general rule. “Train
tip a child in the way he shall go and
when he is old he will not depart
from it,” is gospel advice.
“Honor thy father and thy moth
er.” is the first commandment with a
nromise—in th© Bible —-and one of
principal difficulties of the time

Jonquils
Jonquils were first grown in France, in
1789. The bulbs were carried from Africa
by a French navigator. The word jonquil
was derived from the Latin word Juncus,
meaning rushes. This name was suggested
by the rush-like shape of the leaves. It
is a species of yellow narcissus, both are
members of the lily family.
They should be planted about four inches
deep, in rich, drained soil, and the soil should
be kept loose to make the flowers larger
and the leaves a richer hue. About the last
of January you can visit the beds. The
ground will be cracked in many places. In
a few days visit the beds again. In the
places where the earth was cracked you
will see tubular green leaves; in about
three weeks the tiny sprouts are in a large
cluster and about a foot high.
What can that be in the middle on those
long stems? Why, something covered in a
brown paper-like skiff. These are buds.
In this way they are protected from the
snow, chickens or anything that harms the
plants. When these buds burst you will see
ihat they have tiny crinkled cup; inside
these cups are the antlers, pistols and
one or two other organs that make it a
perfect flower. This cup is surrounded by
six tiny petals. These pretty things are
not worthless, for they are very valuable
for making perfume.
MARIE DUKE.
Danville, Ga.
Dear Folks: Every time I read our good
old letter box I just can’t hardly refrain
from writing. Aunt-Julia says she wants us
to watch the jonquils bloom and write her
a story about them. Now, some people de
scribe jonquils differently. But the flow-,
ers that we call jonquils here in North'
Carolina are yellow with a small cup in
the center. Some have a cream tint with
bright yellow cups. You plant the small
bulb in the fall and they make their first
appearance in February, about the first
week. They grow to be a little over one
foot In height. They are a member of
the narcissus family and grow in bunches
with long, narrow, dull green leaves. They
bloom in -about a month after their ap
pearance. They are beautiful flowers and
I think everybody should try to cultivate
them. I will exchange pictures with the
first cousin that writes. Adieu, kind friends.

will be 12 years old the 2d of June. I sure
do enjoy reading Aunt Julia’s and the
cousins’ letters. How many of you cousins
enjoy playing ball? I do for one, but en
joy going to school better than anything.
School is out now, and chopping cotton
will be the play for a while. Now, cousins,
don’t you all think Aunt Julia so sweet to
give the cousins a corner, in the Journal?
Lena van Landingham, would like to come
and go fishing and bathing with you, as I
like to fish very much. Will answer Irene
Smith’s riddle and go: It is a windmill.
Is it not? Hoping Mr. W. B. will be in
the land of Nod when my letter gets to the
postoffice. Wishing Aunt Julia and all the
cousins much success, I am your new niece
and cousin, EREA YOUNG.
Social Circle. Ga., R. No. 2.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you let
a Georgia girl join your happy band of boys
and girls? I< live on a farm and like it
fine. Have any of you cousins any pets? I
have a white rabbit with pink eyes. As I
am a new cousin I will describe myself. I
have golden curly hair, blue eyes, weigh
90 pounds, am eleven years old. If any
one wishes to write to a Georgia girl, let the
cards fly to
ANNIE MAE WEST.
Dalton, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia: Will you let a Florida
girl into your happy band of boys and girls?
I read your letters and surely do enjoy read
ing them, too.. I live on a farm and like it
fine. Aunt Julia, I have a lot of pets. I
have a little yellow kitten and some little
turkeys and you know I have to attend to
them the time I am not in school. Well, as
I see it is the style to describe ourselves, so
I will do the same. I am eleven years old
and am 5 feet high. I will leave my weight
for you to guess. Well, as my letter is get
ting long I will close hoping to see this in
print. Your cousin,
LORA MAE CHAMBERS.
Lake City, Fla.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you let
two Georgia girls come in for a little chat
with you? We have been absent for a long
time, but we hope the cousins still remem
ber us. What are all the boys and girls
doing this fine weather? We are having a
big time going to parties, picnics, fishing,
“and best of all,” we have been going in
bathing. Wonder what has become of Luth
er Huff, Cecil Gainor, Fannie B. Poole,
Noah laws, Robert E. Fletcher and Nola
Youngblood. Your letters were just fine,
we live in; grows out of the failure
of parents to command obedience,
until it grows into a habit with their
children. They naturally want their
own way, but it is their lesire to give
them liberty to have it. Restraint is
imperative.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
I TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am an orphan girl coming to you
for advice, as I have life’s problem
before me to solve alone. Haven’t
any mother t® advise me, and won’t
you be a mother to me for a few
minutes, as I’m oniy 18 years of
age? I have been in love with a boy
for three years and know he loved
me, too. He’s b©en off from home
most all the time, but Yiever failed
to write me often and remember me
on every holiday with a present. And,
I of course ,he’s my intended hus
band. He always treated me kind
and nice and I never cared about
marrying and was young and treated
him cold most all those years, and
while he’s away I corresponded with
a soldier boy for quite a while, and
for that reason the boy I loved so
dearly has quit me. He hadn’t been
to mee me in a year until in June.
Then came 800 miles just on pur
pose to see me. But h© says we
can never, never marry; he loves me
as he’ll never love another, but he
and I will never marry, and left me
with a broken heart, by giving me
all the good wishes any one could
and hoped I'd marry some one and
be happy. And he’s a boy with good
character and everybody thinks a
lot of him. Do you think he’ll ever
come back to me? I’ve never heard
a thing from him since he left. I’m
not very well educated and atn think
ing very strongly of going to college.
Would you advise me to go? Also,
I’ve been corresponding with a neigh
bor boy, who declares he loves me
and wants me to be his wife now.
But I don’t love him, although he
has my sympathy. Would you ad
vise me to marry him? I think not.
I have now explained my life to you
and will you please advise me, as
I’m in bad trouble and can’t find any
remedy. Please tell me of my school
plan, as I’ve never had any chance
to go to school only a short term.
I forgot to tell the age of that boy
who was my intended husband; his
age is twenty years. Now please tell
me what you think about him, for
it was he who caused my future
life to be a blank. Thanking you for
your advice.
LONELY BROKEN-HEART.
Lonely Broken-Heart: Jeal
ousy caused your sweetheart to
feel that way, then, too, he felt
he couldn’t trust you. But I am
sure everything will come out
all right for you in the future.
Be independent and do not let
him see how deeply you care for
him. Men expect too much.
They have always had the idea
they can do as they please, and
condemn the woman they love
for the very things they seek in
another. Women have caused
them to feel so important by
their attitude toward men. The
thing for you to do, if your
sweetheart told you he loved you
but could never marry you, just
treat him the same way, and tell
him straight that it is all right
with you; then let him go. Y<fu
will get over your love affair in
time. They nearly all do, and
someone else may come along
later that you will care a great
deal about, theh, you will wonder
how you could have made your
self believe you ever cared for
the present flame. Do not de
spair. I am quite sure it will all
be righted later on. Go to college
if you possibly can.

Just like a hot flaxseed poultice, AUen’g
Ulctrlne Salve draws out poiaons and germa .
from boils, sores and woundi and boals them
from the bottom up. It heals in one-tbira
time that common salves and liniment* take.
Allen’s Olcerine salve is one of the oldest
remedies in America, and since 1809 has been
known ns the only salve powerful enougb to
reach chronic ulcers and old sores of long
standing. Because it draws out the poisons
and heals from the bottom up it seldom
leaves a scar, and relief is usually perma
