6 SAVE THE MANURE It Contains Well-Balanced Plant Pood By U. M. TREDWAY. Some years ago the farmers of this section (southeastern Kansas) where imbued wih the idea that they could raise better crops as well as enrich their soil by the use of commercial fertilizers. Consequently the Implement dealers began shipping it in by carload lots to supply the demand. The dealers did a thriving and profitable business in the sa'e of drills, too, which would broadcast the fertilizer while seeding the grain. The various packing houses cpmpounded special fertilizers for the various gr'ins. co'n. g-ass, potatoes, etc. The eost varied frm about $22 to 30 11 ns. F >n\e who Prst used it claimed that th- fertilizer was distasteful to chinch bus?*.. Well, when the season was favorable, the wheat crop was good: but when the season was unfavorable Ihe crop was as poor as if no fertiliser had been used. Finally, after n series of years, it was abandoned as a failure. And. oh, how much the "season is blamed! Failure to ge' a large crop through any other cause is invariably attributed to the "season." However, fertilizer has h?en abandoned universally in southeastern Kansas. The le il >rs no longer handle it. ?x< ;-t an occasional order from someone in town who wants to plant ' a'f of hiQ ."O-foot back lot f > lot to pbt -toes and puts a h. ndfr' in oacii hill.

Supplemental (iraln Hat ion Dp. si cable?Composition of Pasture Forage Tlie cost of pork is reduced materially by the use of pasture and forage crops, but it is desirable to feed grain or other concentrated feed in addition. In some sections of the country where pastures are luxiriant, mature liocs are maintained In an apparently satisfactory condition on pasture alone. This practice, however. should not be followed in the case of young, growing pigs, because thev will become thin in flesh and stunted if compelled to live on pasture alone. Hog raisers differ widely regarding the quantity grain that should be fed to hogs while on pasture. Some feeders give them all they will consume. Others feed a ration equal to about 2 to 2 per cent of the live wc ight of the hog. Still others will allow pigs to run on pasture and feed fhem a 1 per cent grain ration. Ther<% is no fier rule governing the supplemental grain ration which should be fed n combination with forage. The amount of grain t? he fed depends upon the kihd of pasture used, th? price of grain, and the market. Pasture forage lias a variable composition. Alfalfa, clover, vetch, and peas furnish feed much richer in protein than most other crop?. Where hogs are feedings on leguminous pasture thev require less concentrated feed than when grazing on nonl' g aiinons pasture such as timothy, o-chatd grass. Bermuda, or bluegrass. In the early stages of growth the cer-'nls may be classed at nitrogenous forages. A farmer may have more bogs than bis pasture will accommodate. When this is the .case, the pasture will last longer if a full fraiu rui*011 is fed. The more grain ,i iiuu consumes me less rorage ho will oat. When grain is high, it is rather expensive to feed a supplehental grain ration. At suoh times there is a threat temptation to pace he hoes upm pasture alone. This practice will hardly ever pay. for it generally tak!>s more grain and more time to flush off the hoes than.if they had pen red a liberal ration while on pasture. The amount of crain used will al-o depend upon the length of time he feeder has in hioh to fit the hogs 'or market. Hogs that are marketed 'rem 12 months ot are usually maintaineh on pasture alone during t^e Grazing season. If any grain Is given , it all it is very light. In this ay the greater percentage of growth is made 'rom t',e cheaply grown forage. IV he re rapid finishing is desired, the iheral use of grain is important.

AN INTEREST From MR. J. 1 Mr. Kdltor: The regular session or term of the South Georgiu Normal College Is ended (commencement over) and the pupils are at their homes, but a summer sessiou of select classes is now in full blast and Miss Marie Craig is employed as one of the teaeli ers and hence she will be detained for a time at this special work. I think it is the purpose of this summer work to teachers. Qualify those seeking such work to knowhow to do it. It is no child's play to take such interesting work in hand, therefore. M!*s Craig's pccu.. liar fitness for the work in hand keeps her here from home and friends for a time, just what 1 wanted to say (to her family) when I introduced her name. It lias been suggested recently or advocated by some of our leadirg men that biennial sessions of your legislature is ample for your demands. If there is opposition to such a change, I th.nk the voters and tax payers of the State should make that an issue at the next general election. The change will save tiie State practically $100.ono every year the Legislature failed to meet. One session every two years can enact all the laws you need( and more too) then why spend so much money for nothing. Georgia needs badly such a cliaugp and I think It will soon come. Politicians are often to blame that needed changes are not promptly made. Bishop Northrop (Catholic) who recently died in Charleston was once a citizen of your town. His father, (C. B. Northrop) was assassinated during the war. I am now unable to givrt particulars except that he (the elder Northrop with others ) left their homes in the village (fearful of being taken prisoners) and formed ;t camp a few miles east of town wliero they were accosted by (I think l strnglors from Sherman's liny and Mr. Northrop lost his life. \? that time men could hardly bo found to bury the dead, ranch less to register particulars or a crime ' nj ii'ii' t outlaws. Mr. Northrop was a very intellectual, high-toned gentBunan. He was a lawyer and notwithstanding it was war times (busill es< at a stand-still) he did some practice and if any one has curiosity enough to examine the records in the : clerk's oitice they will find one or his characteristic papers. A marriage <Ot t 1 OWOM ^ " * ? *.i agreement netween Richard Evans Wylie and Mary Mice Crawford. Full double names :iro written out all through the doc. iment.

I am moved to congratulate your county (Lancaster) when it is so evident that your county and court officers are so well filled. The olll- | cers are so competent. The evidence , is they have no opposition for re- t flection. Of course if they were in competent opposition would be trot. , (ed out.

I presume you saw it stated that the first bale of new cotton sold tor $1.56 per pound and heavy enough to bring over $900.00. What do your readers think of that? No ? doubt it will be some time before mother bale brings such a price. A tew days ago I saw it 9tated that baking day was on hand and the cook wanted to make a tasty pie for his fellow man and ordered ( I cannot say who from, viz: a peck of ' smiles, a dozen boxes of cheer, 20 quarts of love, some happy thoughts and words (well mixed) eleven bars of kindness and 2 dozen packages of best good will. If the order was tilled and the cook was lucky, failed to burn, etc.,) no doubt the |>ie would prove wholesome and create pleasant thought. If the ingredients making up this pie were kept on hand, consequently there Is no question but that we would feel better. My attention has recently been called to the fact that the government Is spending too much money on public buildings. 1 think it >s safe to say that $50,000 as a rule, will construct and equip a building equal to or as valuaole as one the government pays ?l00,u00 for. It is all owing to the way the government lets out her conctracts. The parties intrusted with this business wants his friends (the builders) to make money (big money) on his Jobs and argues that Uncle Sum is able to pay two prices. Again, there is no necessity for such a ouilding. It is larger than business demands, even if it did not cost a cent more than it is worth. I know what I am talking about. Valdosta has a government building that cost over $200,uoo which I am sure can be built on the same ground, for $100,000. United States Senator 11. It. Tillman. of South Carolina, calls it *4 stealing. Some members of Congres3 (wanting to please their constitu1 ncy) ask for an appropriation to dredge some little river or creek, worth nothing whatever to the genal public. This sort of thing has >1 11 going on for years and ought to be stopped. We have been quite dry recently and consequently crops have sutlerid more or less, but the last two days .ia\e brought showers worth thous_ amis of dollars to vegetation. The present season will make old corn, i hope to hear that you are having plenty of rain and that the outlook .s good for the growing crops. L,ana.-ter prosperity is a pleasure to me. 1 would not have it otherwise. My health is not robust but I am thankful that 1 am not worse. If I am permitted to live until the 4th day of September it will bring me to the SStii mile post of my life's journey, it is evident that the space allotted me will terminate very soon.
