OKIFIGATION OK : SOUTHERN FARMS Forage Crops Fully r.s Important as Cotton and Corn. PROFITABLE AS WINTER FEED Every Farmer Should Make' Growing of Fodder a Big Part of Hi3 Farm Operations, Selecting Piece of Land for Purpose. (By G. II. AI.KOrtn.) The question of forage crops is not a dillicult problem for southern farmers. Almost every farm crop grown can be us? i? for forage. There are. j however, many plants that will produce loiage in abundance. Every fanner should make the growing of forage an important part of his farm operations. Each year a large piece of land should be selected espocially for the growing of forage crops. rriitw oro nf tulli- ?*, mn?l> ' ? - 1 portance as cotton and corn, but they 1 urn usually neglected crops. The turnip crop should be consid j ered of great value. I'rephre the land j thoroughly, manure heavy, plant in drills three feet apart, when the leaf is as large as a dime, thin to l."> inches and cultivate often, and you will raise a great quantity and find that the crop is very profitable for winter feeding. For the earliest spring feed, sow! oats, rye or wheat in the fall. Sow two bushels per acre, on fertile soil, liberally manured and well prepared. These crops usually produce feed by the first of March and furnish good hay if cut in the dough stage. C rimson, white, burr and red clovers are valuable winter crops to plant. September and October aro the best months for seeding, and to be sure j of a big crop plant on fertile soil and | a perfect seed bed, using plenty of manure and 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre. Sow from 13 to 20 pounds of seed per acre. The yield of hay on thoroughly prepared fertile soil is about one anil one-half tons per acre. The corn crop planted on this clover stubble will never fail you. As high as 20 tons of silage corn iB often grown on clover sod. Alfalfa excels every other crop In yield per acre, in feeding value, and as a Boil enricher, when grown on land to which It is well adapted. For a large yield of hay, sow one bushel of wheat or oats and 15 pounds 1 crimson or red clover per acre. The crops aro cut when tho clover i3 in full bloom. It is easy to make two tons of hay per acre on fertile soil, and these hays are milk and fat producing feeds. Hairy vetch and wheat or oats are | also fine for grazing and hay. More ! land is being Reeded each year to > j this mixture, and the farmers all like it. # Fall or spring sown oats furnish 1 grazing and make a capital hay when i cut in the dough stage. At Raton Kongo, i,a., two and one-half acres j were planted in oats at the experi- | raent station for grazing on Septem-' her 28. October 20 seven Poland ! China pigs weighing in total 275 1 pounds were put on the oats and I given no feed during the winter. On I Februnry 17 tho pigs weighed a total I of 6U8 pounds, or an average gain of .:17 pound per pig per day for 1!0 days. From October 20 to January 1 45 head of sheep were pastured on this same plat. Rape will produce moro green for-1 ago in tho south during the winter j months than any other one plant or | combination of plants that can b > i grown. It has been demonstrated by I the experiment station that an aero of good rich land sown to rape will produce as much pork when used as a hog pasture as tho same aero planted to Hogging Down Corn Weight at Start 82 Lbs.

One or more acres should be planted on every farm every year. Wheat, oats, rye, and barley make a good mixture for grazing and hay. When sown In September or October on good land, it may be grazed all the dry days from November 1 to March 1 and then liay may be harvested the latter part of May or the first of June. There is hardly an end to the summer crop that can be grown for for, age. Every farmer is entitled to his choice, and while sorghum and other crops produco an abundance of highclass feed per acre we must not fall to keep in mind tho fertility of the soil. It is possible to have a rotation of ! very fine forage crops that will lmI prove the noil. Cow peas, soy beans, peanuts, alfalfa, tho vetches and , clovers furnish grazing and hay and rapidly lncreaso the fertility of the soil. ' ; At the Louisiana station corn with cowpeas grown in the corn and pea. n.itB gave 450 pounds of pork per acre The peanuts were planted after I oat3, which. t'ering the winter, furnished grazing that gave 200 pounds of pork per acre and a crop of oats besides. The peanuts planted after oats gave an average of -!00 pounds of pork and this added to 200 pounds from grazing the oat3 made^i totai of <100 pounds of pork,ye.r ucro.<UMk^*''op of oats besides. 4 Sweet potatoes give from 400 to 750 pounds of pork per acre. If we take an average at 500 pounds and add to this 200 pounds from grazing the oat; which preceded the sweet potatoes, we have 700 pounds of pork per acre for ono season, plus a crop of oats harvested. At the Mississippi delta station, after the corn was gathered, nigs were turned into the pea field, and made a pain from the peas of 170 pounds per acre. They had no additional feed.

I ?j) 10 Butter 1 51)18 Tho results obtained when turning hogs, cattle, sheep and other stock into velvet bean^ after the corn is harvested are more than satisfactory. The soy bean is probably the best annual legume to grow for forage in tho cotton belt. Whether used as a hay, grain or for grazing it is a very valuable feed for live stock. Soy-bean hay is practically identical in feeding value with alfalfa, and yields from two to three tons per acre. The grain is more valuable than cottonseed meal as a supplementary feed in the production of pork, mutton, wool, beef, milk and butter. A bushel of soy beans is at least twice as valuable for feed as a bushel of corn. Spanish peanuts will produce good crops on comparatively poor land, when well fertilized and cultivated. Prof, nuggar at the Alabama station found an acre of Spanish peanuts produced dOO pounds of live weight in liogs. This was after the tops had been cut with a mower and saved for hay. Tho growing of peanuts after oats and on other land, and the uso of the mowing machine or tho thresher and hay press, will promote the raising of good live stock and add much to the fertility of tho soil. Cow peas without grain usually give better results than other crons. tine season a crop of peas grown on bottom land produced 483 pounds of pork per acre. Peas furnish most excellent grazing for all kinds of stock. Milo maize, Kaffir corn, millet and other crops furnish excellent forage, but a crop of corn and cow peas, soy beans, peanuts, or velvet, beans can be grown on the same land at the same time and furnishes a world of valuable feed and increases the fertility of the soil at the same time. This being true, let us call particular attention to the importance of cow peas, peanuts and soy beans planted in the corn at the last working as a? factor in.the production of large quantities of cheap forage. All kinds of stock can be turned into the lleld after the corn is harvested and will soon bo rolling fat. Every farmer who "keeps as many as ten head of stock should build a silo. The cost is small. For filling the silo corn is king. The yield of corn on fertile soil is seldom under ten tons per acre, and often as high as 20 tons per acre. No man can make the best use of forage crops without adequate fencing. Around every field run a woven wire fence 30 inches high, with two strands of barb wire above. Also Use several hundred yards of the hurdle or portable fence to divide tha fields into lots of any size. This fonco is simple and cheuply made and can hu stored under a shed until needed. BEES AR?~QUITE PROFITABLE Honey Gatherers Are Only Producers on Farm That Yield Profit With out Cost of Feed. i By WESLEY FORSTKR, Colorado State Beo Inspector.) If people knew what a great sourco of protll Ib found in the keeping of i bees, and how interesting the work I there wouldn't be an unused square foot of ground on uny farm in the United Stutes. I Iiees are the only producers known i to husbandry that yield a proilt with| out cost of feed. They tlnd their own pasture. They multiply so rapidly that they more than pay for the small initial expense of housing them, and the first cost of equipment is almost trij fling. Bee culture may bo made profitable by the children of the farm, or by the women members of the family. It may be carried on successfully in conjunction with the keeping of poultry or growing of fruit. In the latter case, apiculture is found to ho n great help toward more fruit and better fruit. Bees are little trouble, and requiro only occasional attention. They are easily handled and readily controlled. Best of all, they give a real service in hard cash, and that counts most on ! the farm. . . r-- ' ' ; " NOT A LOVE MATCH By VERA STRAIGHT. Esther Morris was to tfe married the next afternoon. She sat at her window, her chin upon her hand, looking out into the shadows of the maple trees. Her fiance had just left her and she had slipped away to her room, leaving her mother to put the final touches to the decorations and to rehearse the weddinc dinner. Esther was thirty-one. Francis Pryce, whom she was to marry, was forty-seven. It was not a love match but born of mutual respect and confidence. Both had been in love before and each know it of the other. Two years and three months before Erther had sent away her lover, Harry (loddard. They had been onpaged live years and Harry showed no prospects of doing anything either for himself or for her. "It Isn't, that you are unfortunate. Harry," she said. "But a man who thinks of marriage must be prepared to make a home for the woman he loves. You can't stick to anything; you squander your money; you drink. If you had ever saved I might?" She brok" off and continued: "Harry, I'm going to put you to the test. I)o you think you can get a position, hold it two years and save live hundred dollars? If you can I will marry you when the two years are up. If not?1 don't want you to come back." "If you'U only marry nie now!" he cried, and Esther shook her head in her obstinate way. "In two years," was all she would answer; and so Harry went away. Then Francis Pryce, state senator and millionaire, had wooed her. So gently, so persistently did he set about the winning of her that he had won her consent almost before she r<?L ffi '"Housekeeping!" She Repeated ?vas aware of it. And. six months before, when lie ashed her, she told hint about Harry. "1 won't hide the fact that we , cared for eac h other." she said, "la , fact, if ho came back?" "You would care for him more than for me?" asked the senator quietly. "Yes. rtut 1 do care for you." she answered. "I am satisfied with that," Pryce answered. "Goddard shall have his chance. If he does not return when j the two years are up, I shall claim you. And I shall test you both," he added, smiling; in his enigmatic way. Goddard did not come back. Esther learned that he had been living just the same life as of old. He had been just as dissipated, just as improvident and reckless. She knew that life tyith him would have been un impossibility. Now she sat beside her window, thinking over the past. Life had j never given her much. First it had offered her the love of a worthier scapegrace, then the measured af, lection of a mature man, and neither fulfilled the demand that her nature made. "Hut Harry loved me," she thought, and felt that that atoned for all. The future looked black and dismal. Her heart felt very tender toward Harry at that moment. ] She murmured his name as she sat by the window. And. even as she invoked it a man stepped through the shadows of the maples. He came toward her and stood beneath her window, resting his arms upon the sill. Kather clutched at the window frnmo. It was Harry! He had come hack on her wedding eve. "Hather. it is 1!',' he whispered. "I have come back to you." She stared at him incredulously and then recoiled. "You are too late." she muttered. | "Don't you know what evening this is?" Then, with rising passion. "Why did you not come before?" she I cried. , "I couldn't come before," he answered. "You made the conditions. . 1 must have live hundred dollars." "What did I care for Ave hundred dollars, except as a proof that you ! were able to make some sacrifice ; for me!" she cried "Rut I have it now, and in my pocket." he answered. "Come, dear We ran start housekeeping on that." -v -?S. MB ' ' Housekeeping!" she repeated the commonplace word with, something of mockery. "You are mad, Harry. , Do you think I would break my engagement with Senator Pryce at this eleventh hour and steal away like a thief? Why"?she laughed hysterically?v"the wedding arrangements are all made; the dinner is ordered: .the guests have received their invita- | tions?" She burst into hysterical sobs and when he took her in his arms she felt that she had not the strength to resist longer. His love had meant more to her than she had let even her own soul know. 'Harry, I will come with you." she said, raising her head. "Anywhere!" whe stepped out through the wir* dow and they faced each other in the garden outside. Nobody was stirring in the street. She looked back at the uiMiNf, it*uriiii. unci sum uncertain. "Why couldn't you come before?" she whispered. Harry Cioddard threw back his head and laughed. "Because," he answered. "Senator Pryce gave me live hundred dollars to stay away untfl his wedding day." "What! He paid you money?' "Yes. And the joke is that tne o'd man outwitted himself. This is nls wedding day. because it is past midnight. He thought the joke was on me, but that's where he fell dowr." Esther laid her hand on his arm. "Harry, you did this dastardly thing?" she asked. "Well, hasn't he money to spare? And wasn't he iust as bad, with all hir, money, bribing a poor man ?' < "It wasn't the bribe." she muttered. It was the making her the subject | of the bribe. She knew that the link I which bound her to Harry was broken forever. Quietly she stepped back | through the window. "I win." said a low voice in her i ear. Senator Pryce was standing before her, in her room, smiling. "What does this mean?" askejj Esther. "It means," answered the senator. "that. I have tested you and found you true, just as I found him false. O, Esther, forgive me, but 1 couldn't marry you until 1 had given you tiio chance to see what you have escaped?" "No, what I have found." she answered softly. (Copyright. 1013, by W. Ci. Chapman.) WORD OF REMARKABLE ORIGIN "Quiz," Which Is in Such Common Use, Has No Root Nor Etymological Meaning. The word quiz is one of the few English words which has no root nor etymological meaning to give a hint of what it signifies. It is said, in fact, that the manufacturer of the word himself did not know what it meant. He made it up jokingly, according to the following story of the word's origin: Many years ago there lived in Dublin a person whose name was Daly. According to custom he and a party of friends were gathered together one evening, when he made a wager that by the end of the following day every man in Dublin would be speaking a word having no meaning and being derived from no language known. The wager was eagerly taken up by Daly's associates, who were sure that he had no chance of winning under the circumstances. Daly owned among other things a theater and after the party had broken up he called up ajl the men eon ncni'ci wmi mo tneater, assigned to each a certain portion of the city, supj plied them with clialk and instructed tliem to write the letters "Q-r-I-Z" on | every door and shop window in town ; before daylight. His orders were eari ried out so effectually that before the morning of the following day was over everybody was asking of his neighbor the meaning of the mysterious word "quiz." The ignorance of its meaning and its sudden appearance all over the city created talk and conjecture for many a day. When the truth that it was all a joke came out the word was adopted as a synonym for a jest and expresi sive also of a puzzle because of the questions and general perplexity it had aroused. To quiz means, therefore, in one sense, to ask questions, and in other to quiz a person means to jest with or poke fun at him. She Enjoys Cigars.
