FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Raising Hogs on Pasture Crops in
Georgia
We probably send as much money
out of the state for red meat as
for any other purpose. Our expen
ditures for pork products either in
a fresh, or cured state are very
large. If we can save the money
spent for this purpose during the
ensuing year, we could add SIOO to
the income of every farm we now
have in Georgia, or a gross of $30.-
000.000 on the year’s operations. But
that is not all, for it should be a
comparatively simple matter to raise
, and sell from each of these farms
S2OO worth of hogs, thereby making
our gain not $30,000,000, but $60,000.-
000 or S2OO per farm. When a state
ment of this kind is encountered, it
seems so simple that every one na.
turally says, “Why do we not do
this thing?” The reply is, “The
fetich of all-cotton.” The habits and
manner of thought and the plan of
procedure handed down to us by our
forbears are all matters of great
er significance than we may be will
ing to admit. They chain and fet
ter us to a plan of action that may
• become wholly undesirable, but
which we find it exceedingly difficult
to break away from. Economic
pressure, however, is gradually forc
ing us to give consideration to mat
«ters of this kind, and so, while the
progress of our swine industries may
relatively slow for sometime to
■come in the future, it will be none
■foe less certain.
the old days, cotton could be
on some sort of a basis and
a high degree of assurance that
V- fair crop would be harvested even
in an unfavorable season. But the
boll weevil has changed all that and
made cotton an uncertain crop to
raise except where the highest meas
ure of skill and intelligence is put
into its management and cultivation
Thus, cotton became a relatively
harder crop to grow and swine rais
ing a relatively more- lucrative and
certain type of activity in which to
engage than it has hitherto been in
the years that have passed.
What, must we do in odder to pro
vide 200 pounds of surplus pork prod
ucts per farm in Georgia? Simply
keep two good brood sows and feed
and care for them properly. They
may or may not be ptu-ebreds. On
the average farm, it is probably just
as well that they should be high
grade animals. Certainly, they
sho'.i’d be selected from a breed of
unquestioned adaptability to the !
state and noted for ;t-> prolificacy,
and the rapidity and e<jse with which '
the ytviig pigs may ba* grown out
into a finished condition. The initial
cost of two brood sows can be pro
ivided for on any farm where there
is the will to have them. It will not
take the passage of any agricultural
end. So a beginning can be made
in those instances where the desire
is predicated on a proper basis. Os
course one might obtain two brood
sows and fail altogether in the hog
business. Animals of this kind can
never be expected to wax fat, far
row a large number of healthy pigs,
and grow them out, unless they are
properly fed and cared for.
In order that this end may be
obtained, what must the landowner
undertake to do? First of all, he
should set aside five acres of land.
Choose an area adjacent to a shady
wood lot. If the trees will furnish
some desirable mast in the fall, it
is an additional advantage. They
should be spaced far enough to per
mit of the growth of an abundance
of grass. A Bermuda sod is a valu
able adjunct on any farm where hogs
are raised. It furnishes more food
than one might suspect. The root
ing the hogs may do helps rather
than harms the density of the stand.
It makes a dense, tough coverage
Over the soil. It is not hurt by
tramping. If grows well when the
weather is hot and dry, and it com
bines well with Lespedeza in the
summer, and hairy vetch, or Burr
clover in the winter. Thus, it is of
service and benefit to the hog raisers
throughout the entire year.
The five acres of land mentioned
above should be divided into areas
of equal size and planted to crops
that will furnish food throughout
the year. In Georgia, it is possi
ble to have something green on
which hogs can be grazed with more
or less advantage for twelve months
in the year. Personally, I would
feel that wherever alfalfa can be
grown, at least one-half acre of the
soil selected should be laid down
to this crop. It furnishes an abun
dance of wholly desirable grazing
at several periods of the year. If
this crop is not over-grazed, it has
not only a great carrying capacity
for hogs, but will continue to prove
serviceable as a pasture for several
years without going to the neces
_sity or expense of reseeding. One
of land should be devoted to
Arn and soybeans. Half of the
may be planted early in the
BKon and the other half relative
late. This will extend the graz
ing period for this crop by about
thirty days. In other words, feed
of this character may be available
for nearly sixty days; A combina
tion of corn and soybeans makes a
better grazing crop than the use of
either one. of these crops separately.
There should be an area in sweet
potatoes: while cowpeas, sorghum
and kaffir corn may all be made to
add their quota of desirable and suc
culent. feed at different periods dur
ing the (turner months. In the late

summer, preparation should be made
to seed part of the land to rape,
kale or collards. A section should
be sown during the early summer
to burr clover. Some of the land
should, of course, be seeded to oats,
rye and wheat. Supplemental crops
to use therewith would be crimson
clover and hairy vetch. In addition
to the above, at least five acres of
a separate and distinct area, of land
should be set aside and devoted to
the cultivation of corn. When this
is harvested, it should be fed in
the ear to finish off the young hogs
and to provide grain for the main
tenance of the brood sow and her
litter through the fall and winter,
j Under such a plan of management.
about the only thing the farmet
might be called on to buy would be
some shorts to mix with the corn.
Or, if he prefers, he may use tank
age in place of the shorts. The
areas in question should provide
an abundance of food and grain for
two brood sows and their progeny.
Os course these animals would be
expected to farrow two litters a
year. Supposing, however, they only
produce one large litter apiece, there
should still be sixteen to twenty
hogs carried through to maturity. 1
think it quite certain that three lit
ters at least could be expected from
two brood sows and that it is not
overstating the case to anticipate
the finishing out of at least twenty
pigs. Let us say that these pigs are
not heavy, and will, therefore, not
weigh more than 175 pounds when
sent to slaughter. Let us say that
four of them should be kept on the
farm to furnish the family with an
adequate supply of meat. That leaves
sixteen to sell. At 8 cents a pound,
they would be worth sl4. So, that
the lot should bring the farmer tn
the neighborhood of $224 for his sea
son’s work. I do not think it would
be necessary for him to buy more
than $24 worth of feed. So, it would
be comparatively easy for us to
make $224 per farm through the
agency of our porcine friends, if we
believe strongly enough in the pos
sibility of finishing hogs out in the
manner indicated, thereby making
ourselves self-sustaining in regard
to the per capita supply of pork
products which we now consume. I
am sure that I have not overstated
the case in any particular because
we have abundant records of our
own experiences that justify us in
setting up and recommending the
program of operations outlined
above. Tn a number of Instances
which have come to my attention,
the hogs have been finished at a
weight of 250 pounds, and the gross
returns from the maintenance of
two brood sows made more nearly
to approximate SSOO than $225.
Os course I am familiar with the
claim which will be set up that the
plan in queston calls for the estab
lishment of new crops. It is not es
sential that this be done. We may
use the crops at hand. I have only
mentioned a few of those which may
be available. Some one will say that
a good deal of expense will be nec
essary in order that proper feeds
may be provided. Again, I take issue
with this mistake. There is enough
waste material on many of our farms
to provde the fences that are needed.
They can be built at this season of
the year when there is little else
to do.
In this connection, it is important
to remember that grazing crops
only supply little more than a main
tenance ration for young pigs. We
cannot expect these animals to
grow off rapidly therefore if they
are maintained on succulent pas
tures unless supplied with concen
trates. If grain is not fed, the
chances are that a part of the ani
mals will become unthrifty. This is
due to the fact that they are net
obtaining the amount of mineral
matter or protein to keep their bodies
functioning properly. It is foolish to
let this condition arise, because it
may eventually result in the de
velopment of some form of disease
among the pigs. Moreover, unthrifty
animals never prove profitable to
any landowner. A few acres inten
sively cultivated will provide all the
grain we need not only for hogs,
but for all other classes of farm ani
mals as well. The fact that we ex
pect to raise our - pigs largely on
grazing crops tends to minimize the
effect which sometimes arises from
the use of an all-corn ration. We
can afford to feed this grain under
such conditions without any mis
givings. For young pigs, the begin
ning ration may consist of only
about one-fourth of a pound per day,
but it should be increased until they
are receiving as much as two or
three pounds per head per day.
Naturally, as the pigs grow larger
and stronger, they require more
grain. Probably the best way to feed
the corn ration is through the use
of self-feeders. If it can be mixed
with tankage, so much the better,
because this will balance it up and
supply the animals with the ele
ments which they most need and in
which corn is most likely to be de
ficient. It is a good thing also to
keep a mixture of mineral matter in
the feed lot. Many suggestions have
been offered relative to the desir
ability of various mixtures, but we
think none will be found more satis
factory than the one which has been
suggested below:
4 pounds sulphur.
8 pounds rock phosphate, or air
si bed lime.
6 pounds salt.
1 bushel wood ashes.
1 bushel charcoal.
2 pounds copperas.
The copperas should be dissolved
in water and sprinkled over the mix
tu re.
According to our experience, there
will be little difference found in the
feeding value of the various crops
which can be used to advantage in
this state. Os coir se alfalfa may
have some advantage as a ration
I over other more watery and succu
lent forage crops, but it will not he
■ sufficiently emphasized to justify
■ the disuse of rape, or other crops of
a similar nature which can be used
with advantage for grazing pur
poses.

get into the ring. What do you cousins
do for pastime these beautiful spring
days? I surely like it, as I enjoy school
work. I'm a freshman of the Monroe High
school. X think every one should endeavor
to secure an education. As to what the
future holds we do not know, and any
thing we undertake to do requires an edu
cation. I live on a farm and enjoy the
wonderful works of nature. Come again.
Miss Bennett. We Oklahoma folk like to
hear from people that are from our state,
as we think Oklahoma is a grand state, and
can't be beat. We wotild like to have
you with us again. X must, go, leaving
my age for you to guess; it is between
fifteen and nineteen, T am not a very
skilled writer, but X will try to do better
next time If this is admitted. I will answer
all letters received from both boys and

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here come
three Mississippi sisters, knocking for ad
mittance. Hope we will be welcome.
Thank yon, Auntie, we knew you were a
dear. Daddy takes six different papers,
but The Journal is our favorite paper.
Dear folks, don’t you all think Aunt Julia
the grandest woman to print our letters
at our request? We love out door life and
wouldn't exchange our country life for city
life with any one. I. Runie, can sympa
thize with those who have lost loved ones.
I was married only a short, while when
the death angels visited our happy home
and carried my loving husband to that
great beyond. Will be glad to receive let
ters from all the cousins. I was 23 years
old the seventeenth of September, last.
Have I a twin, if so let me hear from
you. I, Nala, am a jolly school girl. Would
be glad to hear from all the cousins. My
age is between fourteen and eighteen.
Come ahead, cousins, and guess my age.
I, Cora Mae, am a jolly school girl, also,
and would be glad to receive letters from
all over the state. My age is between

Dear Aunt Julia: It has been wisely said
by some one, “If yon at first don’t suc
ceed, try again.’’ so I am trying again, as
this is my third effort to write you and
the circle of cousins. I am twelve years
young and daddy says he wants me to stay
a “little girl” until I am twenty. Mother
died when I was only two months old, from
heart failure, from a shock caused by me
falling from the bed one night. It often
makes me think of Jesus dying for the
love He had for others. I live in the foot
hills of north Georgia, at New Hope, where
Johnson and Sherman engaged in a very
bloody struggle during the War Between
the States. The trenches are our play
ground while at school. I am in the sixth
grade and will be so glad when our sum
mer term of school begins. I am a farmer
and enjoy it so much. You see, I help do
many errands; such as garden work, feed
ing and caring for the chickens, washing
dishes, any thing, most of the house work,
and this makes me a farmer. I am surely
fond of reading, and like music. I am
learning to play the piano, so I hope to
soon be able to play for Aunt Julia and
the cousins. Some of them should call
to see me. Now, Aunt Julia, be mindful
of me this time and give me a seat in the
circle. Would like to heat from some of
the cousins. Your loving niece.

a school teacher if 1 dtyi’t change mv
mind, when I get through high school.
Well, I guess I had better ring off and

tell you what our Sunday school class is
doing. They are supporting a little orphan

Jewell Mae Fowler. I will write a few
lines on "Life.” So many of us are too
prone to fret over the ills of life. We of
ten grieve over something that has already
happened, over something that we imagine
is going to happen. We often forget that
others have troubles as well as ourselves,
and that they, too, are longing to meet
some one who has something cheerful to
say instead of complaining. "It pays ev
ery time to be kind, although you feel wor
ried and blue. If you smile at the world
and be cheerful, th? world will smile back
at you." Ent let's remember that God

the letter box. 1, like most of the cousins,
live in the country, about mile from

fine. Say. how many of you attend school
these days? I do, and believe me I surely
love school. We learn to do almost any

Hello Dearest Auntie and Cousins: Will
make a call on you dear folks if you will
permit me. this beautiful spring morning.
Ihe weather is too pretty for us to star
indors. But it is too wet just now, for
us to do anything toward farming. We
have already got some cotton seed in the
ground and corn up almost large enough
for working. Have English peas almost
ready for eating. My. I wish I had some
films for my kodnk nioruintj, for it
would be so nice for making pictures while
evir.i thing is glittering with the morning
dew and just had a real nice rain and that
makes everybody feel much better, even a
sick person. Now, folks. 1 have visited
the Letter Box a few times before and
made some real nice pen friends, and have
been reading the d-ar old Journal from
cover to cover, and I just think you boys
and girls are doing fine, improving, of
course, right along. Hope you all will con
tinue. I have been keeping silence for
quite a while. I didn’t want to take some
one else’s place, but I hope there will be
a vacant place for me this one time. Little
cousins, how many of you have gardens
of your own? I haven't any little sisters,
nor larger ones either, but I have six
brothers younger than 1. and the three
smaller ones are from S to 12 years of age
and they have a garden. A'hen mother
begins to plant her garden th<y are around
and wanting seeds. The bab.r is most in
terested, 1 believe. We are living about
six miles from our county scat, which is
Cullman. They are talking of trving to
put a highway through here, while it's'just
a graded road now. How many of v<>n
cousins remember me? I uomfer if most of
you aren't married since you and I have
quit corresponding. 1 would enjoy bearing
from every one of you. and to get photo
from all that can send them. I mu-t say
we have a real good Sunday school, and
1 attend most every Sprfday. We have
meeting onee a month at our church, which
is a Baptist <missionary, of cvii.i i and
live not quite a mile from School and
church. Now guess my age: between six
teen and twenty-three. I went to school
this past winter. I surely enjoyed going.
Come on and see how many of you folks
will write me. both boys and girls, for 1
surely enjoy reading letters. w e!l a
anything else. T! st is the most enjoyable

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Should Wo Grieve for Our Dead or
Try to Smile and Work for the
Living? The Nineteen-Year-
Old Mother Who Perforins
Minifies of Economy
—Do Men Prefer
the Frank Girl
or the Flatterer?
DEAR DOROTHY BIX—I have
a neighbor, Mrs. A., who has
six children. Not long ago one
of her babies died. Another neigh
j bor, Mrs. 8.,
wont to see Mrs.
A., and was
greatly scandal
i z e d because
when Mr. A.
came home from
work his wife
met him with a
smile, and was
gay and cheer
ful. Mrs. B. said
that Mrs. A.
positively flirted
with her hus
band. Mrs. B.
thinks that this
H
■■•ss--.. : indicates that
Mrs. A. is a heartless woman who
has none of a mother's natural feel
ings for her children, and that she
does not mourn over her dead baby:
but I have seen Mrs. A. when she
thought she was alone, bitterly cry
ing a»nd hugging hex' baby’s shoes
to her breast. \
Now, Mrs. A. is a plain-looking
woman herself and her husband is
a handsome man, but he has never
been known to look at another wom
an and has eyes only for his wife.
Mrs. A. does all of her own work,
and the minute you come into her
home you feel cheered and rested.
Do you think that it is disgraceful
of Mrs. A. to laugh and be cheerful
in spite of the fact that she recently
lost her baby?
MRS. D. L. M.
Answer: No indeed, I do not con
demn Mrs. A. I think she is a
courageous woman, and a wise one,
to realize that she must live for the
living and not for the dead.
You may be sure that her heart
is bleeding from a wound that will
never heal, but she knows that tears
will not bring back her lost babe, and
so she forces a smile to her lips and
tries to make her home cheerful and
attractive for those who are still
left in it.
Grief can be the most morbid and
selfish thing in the world. A wom
an can so absorb herself in her sor
row for her dead child that she will
neglect her living ones. She can
make her house such a house of
mourning that her children will flee
from it as from a -tomb. She can
let her grief build a wall between
her and her husband.
I have known women who did this.
I have known women who took pride
in never “getting over” a death.
They nursed their grief and feasted
like ghouls upon their dead. They
withdrew from society. They kept
their houses darkened and never al
lowed any tnerriment in it. They
dressed in black with long, somber
crepe veils. And they always brought
further disaster upon their heads.
For men have philosophy enough
to take life as it comes, and to ac
cept the inevitable and make the
best of it. They put their sorrows
behind them and want to take part
in the ordinary distractions of life,
am wishing yon all an enjoyable time
throughout the future. Sincerely,
BEATRICE HILL,
Cullman, Ala., Rte. 2.

No man wants to come home to a
wife who is sodden with crying and
to a darkened house. Nor will young
people who crave gayety stay in a
home which is salted down with
tea rs.
So the women who have made a
cult of their sorrows are inevitably
left alone with them, while their
husbands and children find merrier
companionship outside.
Any weakling can sit down and
cry, but it take a strong, brave wom
an to lay her baby to rest in its tiny
bed in the graveyard and to go back
home and carry on with a smile for
the sake of her husband and chil
dren.
Dear Dorothy Dlx—l have been
keeping company with a young lady
nineteen years of age. She is an
orphan, and also a widow with a
baby girl. As I am considerably
older than she is, I have always
reverenced her because of her love
for her baby, for since her hus
band’s death she has been both moth
er and father to the child. She
dresses well, but not flashy; and her
baby always looks like a million
aire’s child. She is a stenographer
in one of the railroad offices, but
still I cannot understand how she
can keep up a home, pay an elderly
lady for caring for her house and
baby and look as well as she does,
and I am wondering if you can help
me solve the problem. My mother
says that it is because she is a good
manager, and would make a good
wife for any old bachelor. What do
you say? MR. NOBODY.
Answer: I should that your
mother was right, Mr. Nobody.
Women can be either the greatest
spenders or the closest economists on
earth. They can throw money away
as if it grew on trees, or they can
nurse se dime until it grows the
size of a dollar.
When it comes to getting the
value out of money, women can
knock men for a goal, and every
thrifty housewife performs miracles
of financiering that entitle her to
be secretary of the treasury. On
the same amount of money on which
a man looks shabby and ill dressed
and which only gives him a dreary
hall bedroom and meals at a hash
ery, a girl will look like a fashion
plate and establish some sort of lit
tle home of her own.
Few working women are as well
paid as the men who work beside
them, yet the girls are nearly al
ways better dressed than the men
and have a little money saved up
for a rainy day. I have been told
that there are more women de
positors than men in the savings
banks.
As for how your lady friend man
ages to keep a little home together
and herself and her child looking
tidy, ask the needle that she sews
with late into the night making
their clothes; ask the wash tub and
the electric iron at which she toils
to keep her baby clean and her own
frugal wardrobe spick and span.
Ask the basement stores where she
hunts for bargains and the cheap
grocers where she buys her food.
And ask her brave little saddened
spirit, which knows every denial of
pleasure, and of real comfort, of
restaurant meals and little treats,
that she may keep up appearances.

STRAWBERRIES
I hope every one who can get
them is enjoying fresh strawberries.
At this season the system requires
just what they give. And only those
fortunate enough to have a quan
tity will put them up. And he. sure
to let the family have plenty of
short cake. It. seems to be a, way
to the heart of almost every one. I
have sent the recipes to the writer
of this nice letter, but I think there
may be others, so here they are:
Dear Mrs. Thomas:
I am writing to ask you if you
have a recipe for canning straw
berries.
I have tried several recipes, but
the berries do not keep their natural
color and all come to the top of the
jar.
I have so many of your recipes
and have never lost anything can
ned by them.
I will appreciate this very, very
much.
Berries are getting ripe now. They
grow wild here and are plentiful
and delicious.
Am enclosing stamped self-address
ed envelope, and will thank you in
advance for your kindness.
I beg to remain
(MRS.), r. S?
Waxhaw, N. C.
Putting up strawberries is a deli
cate art, there is as much in the
stage of ripeness as in the cooking,
still one cannot dump .them in the
boiler and pay them as little atten
tion as one does blackberries, and
have a really finished product.
There is so much acid in strawber
ries that they do not require a long
continued heat. They may be can
ned by boiling, oi' the steaming
method, but it is almost impossible
to retain the color and shape. You
may not know it, but the peculiar
taste some preserved strawberries
have comes from scorching, they are
easier to scorch than any other
fruit that I have tried to put up. It
is also important that the syrup
mixture be kept boiling while you
are filling your jars. They should
not be very ripe to have them can
best. Gather them in the
morning, not in deep receptacles but
in shallow baskets, or flat boxes,
until capped. One pound of fruit
to half a pound of sugar. Piit them
on a rather slow fire, shaking the
kettle to prevent scorching, when
it starts to boil let it cook slowly
for fifteen minutes. Have the jars
sterilized, and as one is filled seal
it immediately. And it is better not
to can many quarts at the same time
for the syrup must boil all the time
you are filling the jars. This way
is not likely to retain the color as
well as to stearp them, however.
Steaming Method
Wash and stem firm strawberries,
pack in pint or quart jars, which
have been well sterilize, have the rub
bers in warm water with a teasDoon
ful of soda to a quart of water. Have
a syrup made in the proportion of
one pound of sugar to two and a
half cups of water. It is best to
have new rubbers for these jars,
place them on the jars and fill to
overflowing with the syrup, put on
the tops loosely, and steam thirty
minutes. I have that covered buck
et and a jar holder that I told you
about, or I put a thick cloth in the
bottom and cover the bucket and
boil. If you cook more than one
jar at a time remove them singly
an dseal before you take another out.
Don't stir your berries if your pre
serve them in an open kettle, shake
them as you do when popping corn.
And jf you are going to preserve
them it is best to pack them in su
gar, jiound for pound, and let a
syrup form. Then place them on
a quick fire and boil till the ber
ries are transparent. Take out the.
berries, place in jars and boil the
syrup ten or fifteen minutes longer,
depending- on how much water is
in them, seal the jars and turn them
upside down till cool.
Strawberry jam is a good method
to utilize the imperfect ones. It
takes a pound of sugar to a pint
of berries, and they must be mashed
thoroughly. Mix well with the sugar
and let them stand an hour. Place
on a rather hot fire, stirring con
stantly and boil till thick and clear,
fill the jars then dip a paper in
vinegar, or melted parowax, cover
the top and seal.
Something Different
Something different and simply de
licious is made with strawberries
and pineapple. If you are where
the pineapples grow you are truly
fortunate, but in these latter years
I use shredded pineapple. The
canned is ready, but if you have a
fresh one it must be picked to pieces
with a silver fork. Boil in a little
water till soft. Then make a heavy
syrup and drop in the pineapple
while it is boiling. After it has boil
ed ten minutes drop in firm, not
quite ripe, strawberries that have
been washed and stemmed. Take off
the fire one minutp. set back and boil
slowly ten minutes. The one min
ute off the fire simply arrest the
