TM C. P. J DAVIS HOG RAISING IKJE Ni SOUTH. SOME VALUABLE DATA FROM THE DE PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Tho News nod Courier has re ceived from H. Beuton, thc assistant agriculturist of the United States de partment of agriculture, the follow ing intercstiug paper relating to the raising of hogs in this section of tho coun try : During the past few months I have had the pleasure of visiting several Southern farmers who are making hog raising profitable. This valuable adjunct to the farm has been too much neglected. The hog should be one of the farmer's most profitable products, siuco ho is capable of con verting the waste from the dairy and stock pen and waste products of all kinds into pork, bacon or lard. The practice of raising hogs on corn alone cannot result in much profit, certainly not until tho yield per acre is greatly increased. It is kr.own that Bermuda and Dallas grasses, (Paspalum dilatatum,) Japan clover, and on good land alfalfa, fur nish excellent pasturage for hogs over a large portion of the South from May 1 to December 1, and will last for years. Bye, rape, crimson and bur clovers and turnips will furnish tem porary grazing during the remainder of the season, if the hogs are changed from ono pasturo to another every few days. Over tho greater portion of the South sorghum is the beet plant to grow for supplementing any shortage that might occur in summer pas turage. Tho cowpoa, peanut, man gold, citron, pumpkin, sweet potato, chufa and Jerusalem artichoke will furnish food from August 1 to May 1.

C., states that it costs Lira only V\ cents per pound, chargiug liberal rent for grazing land, to prod nc pork. His hogs are grazed on a pastui^ of Ber muda and Dallas grasses and Japan clover from May 1 to December 1. The hogs are fed on mangolds, tur nips, citrons and rice meal in winter, while rioh meal and skim milk sup plement insufficient pasturage during summer. The food is cooked in win ter. Mr. Harris never feeds corn to hogs because it is too expensive. J. D. B. Harmon, Lexington, S. C., raises hogs successfully on chufas, cowpeas, sweet potatoes, rye and sorghum. He practices the following rotation: First year, chufas; second year, cowpoas, followed by rye ; third year, either sweet potatoes or sorghum. Chufas are planted in May ; hogs are turned in on them October 1, and if tho supply of chufas is sufficient the hogs are allowed to remain until May 1 of the following year. The hogs in rooting for tho chufas during wet weather in winter render the soil unsuitable for cultivated crops the next season. On land occupied by chufas, cowpeas aro sown in June. The cowpoas are allowed to ripen, then hogs aro turned on the field, and they eat the peas from the vinos. Tho land is sown to rye in September and grazed during winter and early spring. When stalks begin to form the hogs aro re moved to give the rye a ohance to ripen so that it will not sour tho land when ploughed under. The rye is then turned undor and the land Slanted in sorghum or sweet potatoes. lr. Harmon feeds green sorghum from July 15 to about Dcoember 1. Potatoes arc used in the field for his hogs from August to December 1. He digs all that the hogs cannot eat by December 1 ,and after the first frost, banks them and uses them for feed in winter. It will bc noticed that Mr. Harmon practices a good rotation and has ample food for his hogs fi om August 1 to May 1. With a good Bormuda pasture, planted to bur clover, and a field of alfalfa, his hogs could have the range of a good pasture the en tire year. E. C. Smith,Williston, S.

They are thou turned into the peanut field and allowed to re main until November 1 to 15, at whioh time they are turned into the chufa and artichoke field, where they romain until April 1. The cowpea and peanut fields are rotated, but the "chokes" and chufas are planted on the samo land year after year. He Btates that this method enables him to secure a good stand of chokes and chufas every year. J. M. Moss, St. Matthew's, grows sorghum, cowpeas, peanuts and sweet potatoes for hogs and has an orchard of Hioks's ever-bearing mulberry trees. He considers that all these are profitable plants for hogs. A Louisiana farmer sold pork to the value of $385 from two and one quarter acres of alfalfa. It is hoped that the above sugges tions, supplemented by facts demon strated by five practical men, will encourage hog raising in tho South. Sold and Recommended by WALHALLA' DRUG CO. W. J.

"I believe Bryan is the logioal candi doto for bis party and my judgment is he will be the nominee and will make the race under the Domooratic standard for the third time. If he makes the race I think he will be elected. "I am inclined to doubt whether Bryan wants the nomination. Two races for the presidency ought to ho enough to satisfy any man, but if the convention should nominate I do not think he would refuse to run.

Maoon, Qa., June 14.-The ohanoe that Milton and Jesse Rawlings will be saved from the gallows has been greatly inoreased by the aotion of Judge Mitchell, of Lowndes Superior Court, in signing a bill of exceptions in an extraordinary motion for a new trial, which was filed by John R. Cooper, attorney for the defense. This throws the oases back to the State Supreme Court and Attorney Cooper says that he will be able to secure new trials for the two young men who are sentenced to die July 12th. Attorney Cooper states that the bill of exceptions is founded upon unquestionably good grounds. Judge Mitchell did not hesitate to sign the bill.
