Fertilizer Kills Young Peach Trees if Applied At Roots, Says Stuckey Certain death to young peach I trees is inevitable if fertilizer is] allowed to come into contact with their roots during transplanting according to a recent bulletin is sued by H. P. Stuckey, director of the Georgia experiment station. Mr. Stuckey’s conclusion is based on a series of experiments con ducted last spring and the results he obtained are of direct interest to every prudent orchardist. His bulletin follows: "On the third day of March, 1920, a number of young peach trees were set at the Georgia Experiment station, and different ’ kinds of fer tilizers mixed witli the soil, and al lowed to come in contact with the roots in filling up the holes, so as to determine the effects on tne newly set trees. “The trees set were fertilized as follows: "Trees Nos. 1 and 2 received two pounds of cotton-seed meal each. Tree No. 3 received no fertili zer. "Trees Nos. 4 and 5 received two pounds of a fertilizer made by mix ing together 1 1-2 pounds of cot tonseed meal, 1-2 pound of nitrate of soda, and 2 pounds of acid phos phate. "Trees Nos. 6 and 7 received one pound of nitrate of soda each. "Trees Nos. 8 and 9 received two pounds of acid phosphate each. “Trees Nos. 10 and 11 received Standardized PF eights Mean Bigger and Surer Profits It is generally agreed that if food costs are to be lowered a more econ omical System of distribution of farm pioducts must be perfected and placed in practical use. Standardization, say experts of the bureau of markets. United States department of agriculture, is the es sential basis for such a system. This means not only standard grades for fruits and vegetables, but stand ard's for the containers in which they are packed, Should Sell Produce by Weight The bureau of markets is charged with the enforcement of the United States standard container act, which provides only for standard capaci ties for grape and berry baskets used in interstate commerce. The application of this law has resulted in the widespread use of these con tainers in intrastate commerce also, for shippers have come to appre ciate the benefits derived from the use of uniform methods of market ing such fruits. Standardization of larger shipping containers, such as hampers and roundstave baskets is equally desir able, say the bureau’s experts. Os course, the best method is to sell produce by the pound, where it is impracticable to sell by weight uni form contains should be used. Bush el baskets of peaches from Georgia and Colorado should contain the same quantity of peaches. The same is true of any other food commodity shipped in hampers or baskets. An illustration of how the present methods result in dissatisfaction is the case of a Florida producer who recently shipped potatoes to the New- York • market in a container with which the trade was not familiar. Although the potatoes were of high quality, difficulty was experienced in disposing of them. When they were finally sold the price was consider ably lower per pound than that com- Proposed Dimensions For Standard Hampers. Inside dimensions. Canncitv Diameter Length of Thickness Capacity.

It is re markable for its ability to grow on poor soil, to Resist cold, drought and alkali, and for its comparative im munity from insects and diseases. Despite all these advantages, hairy vetch is not one of the major forage crops. The acreage is far below that of several others of less value. Forage specialists of the United States department of agri culture say that this crop could be rofitably grown on a great many .nore farms. Hairy vetch, with all its excel lent qualites, is not without some objectionable features. Perhaps the most serious is that it will not stand upright without support. As a hay crop, therfore, it must be planted with rye or some other stiff-stalked crop. There is some times difficulty in getting a stand and on the other hand in exterminat ing it when it is once established. The high cost of seeding has been perhaps the principal factor in pre venting its general use Specialists hold out no hope for cheap seed, but they assert that the advantages of the crop are sufficient to justify its planting even at high cost. This is particularly true they say in the states bordering on the Great Lakes and in most of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast states. The subject of seed production in various localities is discussed in de tail in department bulletin 876, copies of which are available to in terested persons, free on applica tion. How About Sheep? The keeping of a reasonable num ber of sheep on the average farm does not necessitate the keeping of fewer dairy cows or other grazing stock. This fact was determined by the United States department of i agriculture in its recent investiga i ’ion of sheep-raising possibilities in i New England. It was found that j farms where sheep are Kept success- I fully have practically the same num- I her and kinds of other live stock as | other farms of like area where no I sheep are kept, and that the acreage I in crops on the two classes of farms |is substantially the same. The in • ference is that the farmer who ’">eps’ ■no sheep is simply throwing away ! enough pasturage that cows and I other live stock do not utilize to net ■ him a profit. Concerning Hops Those who are wondering why this ‘ country keeps on producing hops now I that the nation has gone “dry” should know the demand on the eastern side of the Atlantic has increased tre- I mendously since the war. During i the twelve months beginning July, I 1919, Uncle Sam exported nearly ; 81.000,000 pounds of hops to Europe, >whereas this country produced only ' 29,346,000 pounds, according to esti ; mates of the United States depart ment of agriculture. Farm Water Supply Purity and abundance are the two essentials of water supply. Wells and springs are the usual sources of farm water, but both may easily be contaminated, and the vicinity ‘ should, therefore, be inspected for j possible sources of pollution. 3-4 pound of sulphate of ammonia “On the 15th day of May all the trees which had been fertilized with either nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia singly or in combina tion with other fertilizers were dead; while those trees receiving cottonseed meal alone, acid phos phate alone and not fertilized, were living and had made slight twig growth. By June 1 all the trees, excepting the one receiving no fertilizer, had died. This partic ular tree had made approximately eleven inches of twig growth and seemed vigorous and healthy. "The above conditions are what might be expected, for as soon as enough of the fertilizer goes? into ■solution to make the soil moisture of greater density than the sap in the roots of the newly set trees, the sap is extracted from the roots —a process known as exosmosis— and the tree soon dies. The more soluble the fertilizer applied, the quicker exosmosis begins and the quicker the tree will die, as was shown by the trees receiving nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia dying quicker than those receiving cottonseed meal and acid phosphate. "The practical point to be remem bered is that in transplanting young fruit trees do not use commercial fertilizers in the holes as the trees are being set. "H. Y. STUCKEY, , Director. manded by potatoes packed in the customary manner. At present there are about 50 types of hampers and over 20 sizes of round-stave baskets In use. Many of thees sizes are simply the out growth of custom in various ship ping localities; others are used for the express purpose of deception. And aside from the confusion and uncertainty that result from the use of dozens of different kinds of con tainers, millions of dollars are an nually lost through destruction of produce in transit on account of the w r eak construction of the containers used. Would Reduce Number of Containers I Many large growers, shippers and basket manufacturers appreciate the desirability of reducing the number of these containers, and a nation wide movement foot to elimi nate many of them. Co-operative selling organizations are already do ing much to promote uniformity and standardization. It means money to them not only because of the familiarity of the trade with the containers used but in permit ting methods of loading into cars that reduce the likelihood of break age to a minimum. After a careful canvass of the situation the bureau of markets be lieves, and in this those who have tudied the problem are of the same opinion, that five standard hampers and four standard round-stave bas kets are sufficient to meet all ship ping requirements. The specifica tions provide for volume, dimen sions or shape, and strength. In addition to the advantages of uni formity, the adoption of these sizes will enable the railroads to work out loading rules that will permit of a more intensive utilization of car space, and which will be bound to reduce to a minimum claims on account of damage in transit. or Standard Hampers. Secretary Meredith Encourages American Cotton Association The many prominent planters and business men of South Caro lina who attended the big meet ing called by the American Cot ton association at Columbia re cently, were, encouraged to con tinue their efforts in behalf or southern cotton growers by the following message of good-will and endorsement sent by Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of the United States department of ag riculture: “I send greetings to the offi cials and members of the Ameri can Cotton association, farmers and business men, gathered ai your meeting in Columbia to day. Southern farmers deserve great credit for the faith, cour age, and energy with which they have maintained crop produc tion with a short labor suppiv, an unusually late spring, high costs of production, and econom ic pressure to reduce prices of farm products. I urge upon the farmers of the south a continu ation of their program of sate and sane farming. “This involves production of sufficient food and feed to make the farmers of the south self sustaining, the growing of more legumes and practice of crop rotations to maintain soil fertil ity, increased production of pure bred and high-grade live stock, the growing of cotton as a sur plus cash crop, better farm man agement, and use of better farm machinery and equipment, to the end that production shall be more efficient and economic'; and im ' proved methods of storage, han dling, and marketing of cotton and other crops, to the end that agriculture in the south may b'' permanently profitable. In a” this work the American Cotton association and the farmers ot the south may count upon tfio hearty co-operation of the Unt ted States department of agri culture.” Bureau of Markets Saves Farmers’ Cash By Car Inspections More than 25,000 inspetions of fruits and vegetables moving in inter state commerce were made by repre sentatives of the bureau of markets. United States department of agricul ture, during the twelve months ended June 30, 1920. This is an increase of <8 per cent over the number of inspections for the preceding year. By the use of the food products in spection service shippers, receivers, and others interested can obtain sworn statements attesting the con < it: -i of perishable products received at central markets. With immed ate evidence of the condition of the food sales are made promptly, thereby fa cilitating the distribution of the pr d ucts handled. This prevents de terioration and waste on account of delays resulting from disputes as to the condition of products, hastens the release of cars and prevents un fair trade practices. The bureau has some forty repre sentatives located at twenty-six im portant market centers to make in spections upon request of those con cerned with the shipments. A charge of $2.50 is made for less than half a carload and $4 for each half a carload or more. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE Increasing* Our Food Knowledge In the matter of human waste the war revealed to us some astonishing figures. It appeared from the data secured through the agency of the draft that 33 1-3 per cent of our man-power was defective in some respect.. It is certain that there must be as many women defectives as there are men because the condi tions which caused defective man hood will also account for defective womanhood. These men were, there fore, unfit for military service, and whatever their attitude might have teen toward their country, they were debarred from participating in its defensce. Thousands of these men felt the shame of their situation very keenly. They were the victims of circumstances beyond their con trol. Most of the men were suffer ing frowr^defects which could have been easily corrected. A large per centage were due to malnutrition brought about through , improper feeding at some period of their lives it is the first duty as well as the privilege of every nation to protect the welfare of its citizenship. No more important call to duty or op portunity for service has been af forded the people of the United States than that of seeing that the next generation of boys and girls grows up to vigorous manhood and womanhood. Without virility they Will be incapable of maintaining and advancing the high idealism of the American nation. For us to withhold medical serv ice, food knowledge, or proper train ing from the rising generation is a crime too s abhorrent to be contem plated with equanimity. It would constitute a blot on the fair escutch eon of our country which time could not efface. , , Therefore, let us be up and do ing while the sun still shines, tor time moves swiftly and the boys all d girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow before we real ize it. Tften it will be too late to correct that which may be done suc cessfully today. It is self-evident that we need to emphasize the teaching of home economics. Through this agency one can \ develop and train thousands of leaders who will have an under standing and appreciation of the nutritive processes of physiological chemistry and food values, and who will know how to prepare and serve food acceptably to the children and to the men and women of all ages. It is self-evident that there is no phase of our educational work -which has been more neglected that which teaches us how to distinguish be tween foods and how to combine and use them acceptably for the main tenance and suport of the human body. Such investigation as we have been able to make at the college through the agency of our extension division indicates that from 40 to 69 per cent of the children in many of our Georgia schools are under weight. There are between 277,000 and 300,000 mal-nourished children in the state. A recent survey of 163 children in one school district in Georgia showed 160 with defects, a great majority of which could be easily remedied. Yet, in that same county they were doubting their ability to employ a physician to_ ex amine and treat the school children. If our boys and girls are not worth protecting and looking after, then our civilization has descended to a plane where it will soon disappear from the earth. Is it possible that in a state so prosperous as Georgia we cannot find the funds necessary to train thousands of teachers and leaders along home economics lines and provide public play grounds and all the doctors and nurses needed to see that our children grow up to the full perfection of manhood and wom anhood? There is no single agency better calculated to aid in the development and maintenance of vigorous health on the part of our children than an abundant supply of pure, wholesome milk. Strange to say, there are thousands of farms in Georgia which do not own or keep a dairy cow. Os all the food minerals purchased, there is more argument, discussion and objection to the price paid for milk than to anything else bought for food in the home. On the other hand, a dollar invested in milk at fifteen cents a quart will buy more nourishment than if spent for but ter at seventy-five cents, beans at fifteen cents, ham at forty cents, or beefsteak, fish or chicken at thirty five cents. In this country were are still eating 35 per cent of meat and fish; whereas, we should reduce this amount to 12 per cent of our daily dietary. Os dairy foods we consume 20 per cent, and w*e should increase this itern to 44 per cent. We eat 2 per cent more of beans and cereals than is necessary, 4 per cent less fruit or vegetables than is desirable and 3 per cent more sugar than good practice would make proper. If we were to change our dietary to the basis indicated, we would greatly improve the health of the nation as a whole and give our boys and girls a chance for more vigorous growth than conditions now pertain ing permit. What we need is to carry on a campaign of education in relation to dairy products. What we need is cows and more cows. Too much of our energy and time has been given to fussing and quar reling over the price of milk. It Is, after all. the cheapest food we buy. It contains the vitamines and the fat soluble A. These substances are essential to the preservation of good health in both children and adults. We get thees materials primarily from dairy foods, fruit, vegetables and eggs. Our slogan must be. less meat and fish and more of the life giving entities. Essential Dietary Changes Per cent. Per cent. Meat and fish 35 12 Dairy products 20 44 Bread, cereals 15 13 Fruit, vegetables ....,13 17 Eggs 6 6 Sugar 6 6 Miscellaneous 6 6 England was able to save 5 per cent more of her annual crop of babies during the trying period of the great war than in the palmy days of peace. This was due en tirely to government control of milk. Even though this food was greatly educed in quantity, the women, ba bies and invalids first received their essential quota of it. The figures quoted are more eloquent than words. Let us do likewise in a coun try where we h?!ve unlimited facili ties for the production of milk. Sweet potatoes can be easily and cheaply grown In Georgia. They con stitute one 6f our most desirable crops. They provide 558 calories per nound as compared with 378 calories for the white potato of the north. They are slightly sweeter than Irish potatoes. They contain 26 per cent of starch and sugar. Therefore, they have a higher fuel value per nound. As a source of phosphorous and iron, two very important ash constituents of the dietary, the Georgia sweet potato will be found very economical. It is a valuable ’’ood not only for the children, but for the entire family as well. The nrlncipal drawback to its cultiva tion on a commercial scale has been the difficulty experienced in curing it.; When properly cured, it can be sWlnped to al parts of the United States and can be kept for several months after the harvest in an al most ideal condition. The structures necessarv to store sweet potatoes are neither difficult or costly to build. The picture above presents a sweet potato storage house If one of these were established in every small hamlet, or town in Georgia, we could double our output of sweet "Otatces and p nd a profitable and ac ceptable market for them at home and abroad. We could thus promote not only a profitable industry, bn, nrovide ourselves with a most wholesome and desirable food. The organization and financing of an en terprise of this character is one of the best wavs in which the mer chant, banker or local philanthro pist can heln advance the interests of his count”-. ( Preparing Calves for Exhibition The Calf club contest regulations nrovide th n t seventy-five points out of 100 will be allowed for individu ality In the calf, and the manner in which the animal is presented will have much to do with its final score. After the member gets possession of the calf one of the first jobs should be to get it thoroughly halter broken. If the calf is young, this will be comparatively easy. If the animal has not been handled up to the time it is a senior calf or a junior yearling, it will be more trouble some. The best way is to make a strong rope halter, put it on the calf and tie it up snugly to a post. Leave it tied until t ceases to struggle apd is thoroughly convinced that it can not break loose. After it has been allowed to fight and struggle at the baiter until it gives up, the task of teaching it to lead will be much easier. Do not f.-et or worry the calf or abuse it in any way, but be patient. By gentle handling teach it what is to be done. After fifteen minutes’ handling night and morning for a few days the average calf can easily be led around. After this is done it should be frequently haltered and led. Above all things, teach it to stand squarely on its feet, with the feet placed well apart. The beel calves especially do not need currying and grooming, but they should be kept clean by providing an abundance of bedding and a dry, comfortable place to lie down. With the dairy calves a reasonable amount of brushing will improve their coats. Two or three weeks before the calf is to be shown it would be well to clip it to the knees and hocks so as to give it a little neater appearance in the bone. This clipping should be so skillfully done that it will not show where the clipping stopped. There is usually a long wisp of hair at the tail head that should be clip ped off so as to give the animal u leveler appearance in the hindquar ters. With the dairy calves it would be well to clip the long hair out of the ears. More trimming than this is frequently done by the skillful showman, but it would hardly be wise for the Calf club members to at tempt any more in this direction. If the beef calves have a sufficient coat of hair it would be well to curl it before they are shown. Where calves are old enough for the horns to be fairly well developed they should be scraped with glass or a njechanic’s tool, then dressed first with t’arly cqarse sand paper, then the finest grade of sand paper than can be ob tained. They should then be pol ished with any standard metal pol ish. For best results the horns should be thoroughly polished once a week for six weeks before the show. No calf should be shown that has not been thoroughly washed. Any good quality of toilet scrap will be satisfactory for this purpose. Castile is the best soap. In order to be sure that the coats are thoroughly clean, they should have two or washings a week apart just before show tme. If the weather is chilly or windy, the calves should be put in a protected stall until they are thoroughly dry. Curing Georgia Grown Tobacco T. B. 8., Madison, Ga., writes: Is there any satisfactory meth od of curing Georgia-grown to bacco? What feritlizer has proved most Any information you can give me in regard to growing and curing tobacco will be‘ appreciated. There is no reason why tobacco should not be cured successfully in Georgia. In fact, many larmers have accomplished that end suc cessfully this year. The college of agriculture, through its extension division, has furnished a large num ber of plans for tobacco barns of an approved type which might be built by local corporations at a reasonable cost. Our tobacco crop this year will approximate something like 18,000,- 000 pounds, though in 1918 it only amounted to 2,668,000 pounds. The college of agriculture undertook some years ago to demonstrate that there were good tobacco soils in Georgia. This was doubted by many, but our analysis and examinations of these soils shewed that our belief was correct. Our work so far has been confined primarily to the culti vation of bright leaf or flue-cured to bacco. The counties having the larg est acreages are Coffee, Wilcox, Ber rien, Ben Hill, Tift, Irwin, Turner and Jeff Davis. There are tobacco markets at quite a number of points in south Georgia. The best type of soil for the cul tivation of flue-cured tobacco is a sandy loam with porous subsoil. Bright tobacco has not yet been suc cessfully grown in north Georgia. There are types of dark tobacco which might be grown successfully, however, in this section of the state and there is no reason why you should not grow them in Morgan county. Great care should be given to the preparation of tobacco soil, especially where light or flue-cured tobacco is to be grown. A rather thin type of soil is best adapted to this type of tobacco. A complete fertilizer should be used. The ex cessive use of a nitrogenous ferti lizer is to be avoided. As a rule, about 9-3-3 will suit very well when applied at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre. Dried blood and cottonseed meal may be used as sources of nitrogen. As a rule, sul phate of potash may be used as a carrier of potash, because kainit artd muriate contain large quantities of chlorin, which has a tendency to make tobacco burn poorly. Ferti lizers for tobacco are generally ap plied in the row. The rows should be made four feet apart and the fer tilizers applied with a distributor. The fertilizer should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. A second ap plication of fertilizer is not as a rule advisable. Some people advocate the use of yard manure or green crops turned under. As a rule, materials of this kind should be applied to the land the year before it is to be devoted to the cultivation of light tobacco. The transplanting of tobacco may be done any time from April 1 to April 30, pending on the section where it is to be cultivated. The later date would, of course, be pref erable in north Georgia. The plants may be set out by hand or by ma chinery. The earth should be firmly pressed In about the roots, leaving the bud of the plant just above the surface of the ground. Early, rapil and thorough cultivation is neces sary, and insect enemies must be fought vigorously. Topping, suckering and harvesting must be given prompt and careful attention, while curing is a matter which must be carried out very care fully. A Good Combination Grain Ra tion for Hogs P. G. W., Covington, Ga., writes: I am desir.ous of feeding hogs on wheat shorts and c ~n meal. I would like to know the proper proportion in which to mix these ingredients to be used as a fattening ration. In feeding cottonseed meal to hogs not over one-fifth or one-sixth of the ration should be made .up of this particular element. In other words, you should feed five parts of corn meal say to one part cottonseed meal, or as you prefer you might make other combinations. We suggest, however, that corn meal and cotton seed meal will combine better to gether than any of the other con centrates mentioned by you. Cottonseed meal would be added to a ration of corn meal primarily for the purpose of increasing the amount of protein and balancing up certain deficiencies in corn meal, which, as you know, by itself does not furnish the most satisfactory or economic ration for the maintenance md fatten*ng of hogs Wheat shorts would supply the corn meal with about the same ele ments as cottonseed meal there ore if cottonseed meal is cheaner and is a local product and will turnish the p-otein at a lower cost than wheat shorts it is the thing to use. For some reason cottonseed meal cannot be fed in larger quantities than the amounts indicated to hogs with success. It produces, when fed in larger quantities, a condition wh’.cn sooner or later results in death. Even when fed in the amounts in dicated the pe-iod of fattening should* not exceed sixty d~ys, or at most, ninety days. If the animals can be given the run of a pasture where there is some green feed availab e the feeding of cottonseed meal may be kept up for ninety days with safety. Under the circumstances you might easily wonder what would be the advantage of using cottonseed meal at all. It is simply this: As some element must be added to the corn meal to supply the deficiencies in dicated, you might use tankage or any other concentrate for this pur pose. If cottonseed meal will answer, however, it should naturally be giver preference. Even the small amount of cottonseed meal indicated when added to a ration of corn will in crease the rapidity and the uniform ity of the gains, and will result In a better blending of fat and lean throughout the carcass. At least this is the conclusion we are justi fied in reaching from the extensive slaughter tests that have been made when this ration was used. It is generally considered the best practice to ferment a ration which contains cottonseed meal. At tnis season of the year if corn meal and cottonseed meal are JP ix ed together in the proportions indicated and put in a barrel and water added thereto a sufficient fermentation should take nlace in say twenty-four hours. In the winter time it might take longer, say forty-eight hours. Corrective Treatment for a Bad Udder D. C. W., Bishopville, S. C., writes: I have a cow about seven years old with her fourth calf. Her udder cakes up and yellow strings come from two of the teats. She has a good appetite and seems to be all right otherwise. She 'has never been this way before, and I will appreciate it if you can give me a. remedy and tell me the cause. Udder trouble of the character described in your ..letter is not un usual. It arises from a variety of causes. It is especialy likely to oc cur shortly after a cow ha s calved, though it may develop at anv season of the year. The caking of the udder at the time of calving is not surprising, because there is a good deal of inflammation m the organs at that time and unless this is carefully treated and reduced it ts likely to become of a more or less permanent character and may cause the loss of function of a part, or oc casionallv all of the udder. In dealing with a trouble of th\s kind the first method of procedure is to reduce or remove the cause of inflammation. This is best ccom plished by milking the cow regularly and thoroughly. The work should be done very carefuly so as not to bruise or injure the udder, but every effort should be made to thoroughly cleanse it and extract all the milk therefrom. Milk at least three times during the day. After this is done the udder should be massagea. that Is, gently rubbed and kneaded Follow this with hot fomentations There Is nothing better. The water used should be just as warm as th? hands can bear, and the bathing should be continued for a period of at least 20 minutes. Then to pre vent chafing apnlv some soft, sooth ing, healing ointment. Camphorated oil is one of the best things to use for this purpose. It is Important to wash the hands before milking and to rub of*’ the udder with a clean towel and warm water. The vessels used should be very thoroughly cleansed. Some times it is necssary to i..ject a so bition into the udder to purify it This shou'd only be done, howeevr as a last resort.' One of the best so lutions to use is boric acid. Dissolve about 10 grains in an ounce of wa ter which has been thoroughly boil ed and cooled, and if possible filter ed. This solution may be injected by means of a milking tube which 1s attached to a rubber tube and e funnel. This solution should be used twice daily. After it has remained in the udder a little while milk it out. Malnutrition in Hogs and its Treat ment W. M. G., Cumming Ga., writes: I have a hog that seems to have something like paralysis in its hind legs;. It is very wea': in its legs and fails down. It has a good appetite.

Co. \ d primarily to the fact that it Is not receiving enough mineral food in its daily ration You do not say so, but we presume this hog is confined to a pen. If so, turn it out where it can secure plenty of exercise and root in the soil. If you; are feeding corn alone change this ration immediately to one-third corn and two-thirds shorts. Also add some skim milk to the ration. In other words, reduce the corn and shorts to a relatively thin slop with milk. This hog undoubtedly needs more protein and ash materials. When these two are supplied, unless the Double is due to an injury or to some organic defect, a recovery should be quickly made. We advise you to pre pare the following mixtu.e and put in a box where it is easily accessible to your hog: 2 pounds pulverized cop peras, 4 pounds sulphur, 8 pounds common salt, 8 pounds air-slaked lime, 1 pound charcoal, 1 bushel wood ashes. Mix these ingredients togeth er and place where the mixture is accessible to the hogs, but where it will be kept relatively dry. You may be su prised to find that your hogs will eat this material with consider able avidity. This is the only evi dence you need to convince you that there has not been enough mineral matter in the ration, and that the temporary breaking down in the hinu quarters is due to the weakening bt the bones on that account. A Chicken-Eating Sow I. E., Liberty, S. C., writes: I have a sow that will farrow in a month and she eats chickens. What will prevent it? I have a cow eight years old with a calf six months old. The milk leaks from her udder when she walks and when she lies down. Is there anything I can do to stop this? You may stop a sow from eating chickens by proceeding as follows: First, pen her up so that the chick ens cannot have access to the feed lot in which she is kept. Second, feed her a liberal ration in which digestor tankage is used in the pro portion of one part to ten parts of the grain mixture feed. See that she is supplied with plenty of mineral matter and a proper variety of food. It is npt expensive or difficult to build a chicken or hog-proof fence of sufficient size in which to confine either the chickens or the hog.

Ma- jj| rdl Si taSjksi RsTl* simplest method of overcoming the difficulty about which you write. • * There is no way by you.can prevent the milk leaking except to draw it more frequently than you are now doing. There are two rea sons for this trouble. First, the sphincter muscle at the bottom of the teat has become relaxed and allow® the milk to leak out. This is not Ati uncommon trouble. You know, of course, that a rubber band, if stretch ed for a sufficient number of times, loses a part of its elasticity. This is what has happened in the case of your cow. By milking her oftener and relieving the udder you can re duce the leakage. Sometimes this practice cures the trouble. CnTfTiy 9 ifi 11* p‘ V L*d i!
