EPILEPSY, FALLING SICKNESS

HOW MANY HOGS CAN BE CARRIED ON ACRE
Pigs on Cowpeas at Weaning Time.
Being on the light side in politics
means being on the inside.
(By W. R. DODSON, Louisiana Experi-
ment Station.)
One of the most, frequent questions
asked in regard to grazing is, “How
many hogs will an acre carry?” It is
impossible to answer such a general
question in a very definite way. It
can be answered approximately in the
following way.
Hogs from eight to twelve months
old ought to average a pound and a
half to two pounds of grain per day
during the fattening period. We know
approximately the amount of food re-
quired to make this amount of grain,
and if we make a guess of the yield
we can make an appropriate guess of
the number of hogs" required to con-
sume the crop in a given time. A
crop of 25 bushels of corn, with the ac-
companying cowpeas, ought to make
400 pounds of pork, or be the equiva-
lent of feed for one hog for 200 days.
If we want to consume that amount in
30 days, it would require seven hogs.
If the hogs are of mixed ages, includ-
ing pigs, it will carry an average of
ten to twelve hogs per acre. Peanuts
would make a little more pork per
acre than corn, but when the carbohy-
drates are added to more nearly bal-
ance the ration, the pigs will be main-
tained for as long a time on peanuts
as the corn will carry them. The same
acreage in sweet potatoes will carry
the hogs from one and one-half to two
times as long as an acre of corn, If the
ONE-CROP SYSTEM NOT SAFE
Objections Given by Bradford Knapp
at Conference of Bankers—-Diver-
sification Is Remedy.
Seven objections to a one-crop sys-
tem of agriculture are set forth in Cir-
cular No. 56 of the office of the sec-
retary, which is a reprint of an ad-
dress delivered by Bradford Knapp at
a conference of southern hankers.
The reasons'\why a one-criop system is
unsafe are staged by Mr. Knapp to be
as follows:
“First—Because the system! de
pends upon martlet and crop condi-
tions of the one prop alone. Failure
of crop or failu/re of market alike
bring serious disaster.
“Second—Because it fails to provide
for the maintenance of soil fertility.
“Third—Because it fails to provide
for a'"BlSmcfent live-stock industry to
consume the waste products of the
farm and make its waste landjs pro-
ductive. / . ' I ■ ;0
“Fourth—Because it does not pr<P
vide for a system of farm jpaAnage-
ment under which labor, "teams, and
tools may be used..to the fullest advan-
tage. ,
“Fifth—Because it brings return in
cash, but once a year instead of turn-
ing the money over more than once
a year.
“Sixth—Because it does not pro-
duce the necessary foods to supply
the people upon the farm and keep
them in health and strength.
“Seventh—It limits knowledge, nar-
rows citizenship, and does not foster
home building, but does encourage
commercial farming.”
The remedy for these evils Is diver-
sification. Diversification, however,
means something else than a change
from growing cotton to growing some-
thing else. One Louisiana man, who
believed that he was a conyert to di-
versification, planted 500 acres of to-
matoes. In other install,ties farmers
turned from cotton to corn and had
nothing else for sale in the fall. This,
of course, is not diversification at all.
KEEP HENS FREE FROM LICE
Fowls Should Be Examined and Dust-
ed Thoroughly With Good Pow-
der or Blue Ointment.
Examine the pullets and hens for
lice, and dust thoroughly with a good
insect powder, or apply a mixture of
two parts vaseline and one part mer-
curial or blue ointment, about the size
of a pea, one inch below the vent
of the bird, rubbing the mixture light-
ly on the skin.
An application of this ointment two
or three times a year will keep the
fowls free from lice. Where insect
powder is used, it should be applied
three or four times a year, or oftener
if the fowls become infested.
Provide a small box in the house
partly filled with dry road dust or
tine dirt in which the hens may dust,
thus helping to keep themselves free
from Uce.
potatoes are supplemented with proper
protein-bearing food. Therefore, on
good average land, one can carry from
ten to twelve head of mixed hogs per
acre through the fattening stage. On
poor land the number would be re-
duced, and on rich land, the number
would be increased.
The amount of winter grazing that
can be secured is very variable, be-
ing influenced very largely by the
amount of growing weather that pre-
vails during the winter. In general,
two sows with accompanying pig3 can

be carried per acre. If there is an
abundance of favorable growing
weather, cattle may be required t<q|
help keep the pasture grazing down.
It will, therefore, be seen that with
this system of cropping, there is a
pretty good balance of the carrying
capacity of the land, with the avai
able supply of hogs for grazing.
VALUE OF CREAM SEPARATl
As Much Milk Obtained From Fc
Cows Where Machine Is Used s
From Five Ordinarily.
The farmer who uses a cream sepa-
rator obtain^ as much milk from four
cows as is obtained from five cows
where cream is raised in a pan. The
separator method gets 25 per cent
more cream from the milk and this
will pay for a separator in a year in a
dairy herd of ten or more cows. As
the cream is separated while fresh and
sweet, ripening can be controlled and
butter of much better grade can be
secured than if the cream is raised by
gravity.
The use of a separator lightens the
work for the housewife. The machine
is kept in a small room adjoining the
barn and only the separator parts are
brought from the house. These in-
stead of numerous pans and crocks
are returned to the kitchen for wash-
ing after the fresh skim milk has been
fed to the calves and pigs.
A well-made separator will last for
years, in spite of the fact that it is put
into service twice a day. The sepa-
rator should run for from four to six
years without repairs, if reasonable
care is used.

Ointment to soothe and heal. Rashes,

BIRDS SPREAD HOG CHOLERA
Pigeons Flying From One Farm to An-
other Carry Germs of Dread Dis-
ease on Their Feet.
Unconfined pigeons flying from
farm to farm frequently carry the
germs of hog cholera on their feet
and infect a neighborhood which is
then at a loss to understand how the
outbreak of cholera came about. The
same is true of buzzards. On several
occasions when investigations of
sources of hog cholera infections in
this state were made by a veterinarian
from Clemson college, the buzzard was
found to be to blame. Statistics pub-
lished in another state show that
pigeons are responsible for about 23
per cent of the spread of hog cholera
and it is estimated that they caused
in this way in 1915 about fifteen mil-
lions of dollars damage in the United
States.—Clemson College Bulletin,
SILAGE IS CHEAP ROUGHAGE
Three Tons Will Feed Dairy Cow
Thirty Pounds a Day for Six
Months—Cost Varies.
Silage is the cheapest rough feed
that can be produced. Its cost Varies
some in different sections and on dif-
ferent farms, but farmers who have
silos find that after charging up the
rental of the land, the cost! of grow-
ing the corn, the filling of the silo and
wear of machinery, their silage costs
them from two dollars to two dollars
and a half per ton. When wo figure
that three tons of allage will feed a
dairy cow 30 pounds a day for six
months, it is eaeily seen that no other
roughage can be produced so cheaply.

an example of real darky music, a
Mobile woman went to Baxter’s house
with a view to enlisting his services
at a musical function. She found his
wife instead.
“Very sorry, missy,” said Baxter’s
spouse, “but Theophilus he ain’t play-
in’ de banjo any more. He jest puts
in all his time fishin’ now.”
“What led him to give up his play-
ing,” asked the disappointed caller,
“Has he got religion?"
“No, missy, he ain’t got religion,
but he’s dene got skeered.”
“Seared? Of what?”
“Of de minstrel show, honey. De
