Soy Bean Grazing For Hogs
John R. Fain, Prof, of Agronomy, Ga.
State College of Agriculture.
The principal use in the South for
soy beans will probably be as a graz
ing crop for hogs. On sandy soils It
cannot compete with peanuts, but on
heavy soils the growth is luxuriant
From 200 to 600 pounda of pork can
be secured per acre from grazing soy
beans, varying somewhat for the pro
ductivity of the soil and the variety
of beans. The grazing period ia not
long since the pods burst shortly after
•ripening and there ia considerable
waste unless grazed rapidly. About
sixteen 100-pound hogs per acre are
required to utilize the beans to best
advantage If hogs are put on when
the beans are In the dough stage. The
beans will carry this number of hogs
from two to four weeks, depending up
on the condition of the crop.
War Bread
Mlti Lois Dowdle, Assistant State Su
pervisor Home Economics
In an endeavor to reduce the to
tal consumption of wheat flour a num
ber of substitutes have been tested
and with very good results. For in
stance, a substitution of peanut meal
for 25 per cent of the flour will re
duct the amount of shortening and pro
duces a muffin which is delicious, or
Boy bean meal may be used with
equally good results. One very good
mixture ia as follows: 60 per cent
whole wheat flour, 25 per cent corn
meal, and 26 per cent peanut meal.
Not only is the war bread less costly
to produce, but it is more nutritious
and more appetizing. Try it on your
table and see what the family think
of it!

PRESERVE YOUR SHOES.
It Will Repay You to Give Them Prop.
er Care and Attention.
We all wear shoes. If we manage
them rightly they will last longer, we
will not need so many row ones and
there will be more left for others. The
following suggestions from the leatji
er and paper laboratory of the United
States department of agriculture can
be utilized by every one who walks;
Shoes should be oiled or greased
whenever the leather begins to get
hard or dry. They should be brushed
thoroughly and then all the dirt and
mud that remains washed off with
warm water, th* excess water being
taken off with a dry cloth. While the
shoes arc still wet and' warm apply
the oil or grease with a swab of wool
or flannel. It Is best to have the oil or
grease about os warm as tire hand can
bear, and It should be rubbed well
Into the leather, preferably with the
palm. If necessary the oil can be ap
plied to dry leather, but it penetrates
better when the latter is wet. After
treatment the shoes should be left to
dry In a place that is warm, not hot.
Castor oil 1“ satisfactory for shoes
that are to be polished; for plainer
footgear neatsfoot, fish oil or oleine
may be substituted. If It Is desired to
make the shoes and boots more water
proof beef tallow may be added to any
of these substances at the rate of bulf
a pound of tallow to a pint of oil. The
odgo of the sole and the welt should he
greased thoroughly. Too much grease
cannot be applied to these parts.
A simple method of making the soles
more durable, pliable and water re
sistant Is to swab them occasionally
with Unseed oil, sotting them aside to
dry overnight.
Many of the common shoe polishes
are harmful to leather. All those
which contain sulphuric, hydrochloric
or oxalic acids, turpentine, benzine or
other volatile solvents have a tendency
to harden the lea tin* and teake It more
liable to crack.
It Is poor economy, too, to wear a
shoe with the heel badly worn on one
side. This throws the shoe out of
shape and may soon result In Its ruin.
It Is also likely to cause temporary
Injury to the foot.
Hair and Cold Water.
To make your hair grow use cold
water as It runs from the hydrant
Apply the water to your hair with
your wet hands and run your fingers
through what hair you havo or rub
your scalp with your wet cold hands.
This exercise will bring the blood to
tho scalp, and only from the blood can
you get new hair or make tho hair you
already havo more luxuriant. You can
not get hair from grease. Nothing In
the world Is so good for tho hair us
cold water applied with the wet hands
until the water has reached the scalp.
But do not immerse your head in cold
water. This Is all too much of a
shock.—Los Angeles Times.

DETERMINING FACTORS’
IN BEEF PRODUCTION
Must 3e Considered By Fa mer Who
Expects To Raise Or To Finish
Beef Cattle
In order to make a frlr margin
of profit the farmer, according to Dr.
Soule of the State College of Agricul
ture, should ascertain whether he has
on hand or can obtain at a reasonable*
cost the type and class of cattle from
which he may expect to make a pro
fit; he must either have or be will
ing to supply himself with such
equipment as is necessary; he must
take into consideration the question
of foodstuffs, both concentrates and
roughage; and finally he must have
a market where he can easily dispose
of his cattle after he has finished
them.
Animals with a blocky conforms-
tion and those general character
istics which distinguish the beef type
may be depended upon, if properly
fed and handled, to make good gains
and a profit for the owner. Anitnals
with a dairy conformation have no
natural covering of flesh and, though
they may make fairly good gains,
much of the fat will be found around
the intestines rather than in the re
gion of the most valuable cuts.
We are prone to believe that with
our mild climate shelters are not ne
cessary, but statistics show that in
the south 25 cattle out of every thou
sand die from exposure, while in the
northern states with their rigorous
winters only 3.6 cattle die to the
thousand. In Georgia la; I year sl,
045,000 worth of cattle were lost
through exposure and disea e and the
total for the fifteen southern states
runs between 75 and 100 million dol
lars annually. There need not he a
costly building but a cheap shelter
with a leanto roof and open on the
south side can easily be provided.
Experienced feeders consider a silo
as almost absolutely necessary for
the economical feeding of live stock
during the winter months. Land that
has formerly been planted to cotton
may be devoted to oats or a mixture
of oats, crimson clover and vetch for
hay. Following this the grou : should
produce a second crop, cowpia hu.y,
and the oat land may make the corn
for the silo. Those who prefer may
use sorghum or kafir corn for the silo
Instead of field corn. There should
be an abundance of tame pastures,
such as Bermuda, burr clover, and
Japan clover. Where lime Is widely
used, alfalfa can he grown success
fully In all parts of the south. It is
needless to say that cotton seed meal
will be the main concentrate supple
mented with corn or oats, when
necessary.
In order to finish cattle with any
degree of satisfaction they should bo
fed from 90 to 150 days. For the 1000
pound animal keep an abundance of
mixed hay In the feeding rack til
all times; feed dally Ho to 40 pounds
of silage, 4 to d pounds of cotton seed
meal, and 6 to 7 pounds of shelled
corn.
