Forcing Plants by Light.
To force the growth of plants by
the use of artiflrial light, lis not a how
idea, bilt jS system hitherto has been
too expensive In proportion to obtain*
able results.
Recently a man engaged In horticul
ture discovered an efllcnclous method
of applying light for this purpose. Ar
ranging In winter quarters his plants
as he wished them to grow, he sup
plies a lamp with mercury vapor for
fuel and the seeds germinate In less
than half~the ordinary time, whiTe the
vigor qnd intensity of the color of the
flowers Is superior to that of the prod
net grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon no
ticed In connection with this action of
light is an1 infinite multiplication , of
the downy substance commonly found
on* stems. Those grown. In shadow
have th& stems relatively bare. Very
good practical results have been ob
tained by this system.
Hot Blast of Volcanoes.
Writing In the -Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets forth de
tailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
of St. Pierre during the eruption of
i Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption of
Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculanesm, the eruption of Taal,
Sakurajlma, etc., derived Its heat from
the sudden compression -of the air sur
rounding the volcano, and not from
conditions In the volcano ItSelf. In
this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc
tion, but the dynamic hea^Jng of the
air attending the propagation of the
explosion wave.
Admiralty's Humor.
The Rrltish. admiralty has a sense
of humor, and occasionally -displays It
In official documents.
An old sen captain wrote to the de
partment complaining, more in sorrow
than in anger, of the way in which his
ship had beoix dazzle-painted: "First
you make me look like a parrot, and
then ^you make me look like a hay
stack. and I don't want to look like
either.'' lie goL hack- the official re*
ply :
"We don't want yon to look like
either a parrot, or n haystack, but we
do want you to look like as if your
stern was where vourJiead ought to
bo."

portaiit onterprlsus of the farm in
1919, especially in the South with its
natural advantage* for growing, for*
age, which la one of the .moat Impor
tant factors for economic pork pro
duction. o >
The' llrat period In the feeding and
management of a litter of pigs begins
when th? 4 aow becomes pregnant and
(Milts when ;-ho f H IDWS. Tile second
period begins yith the. hirth of the
ontlQues until the pf?4
reach n..i? urit y or are marketed. h>
this time most of the spring pigs have
been farrowed, and the problem now
i? to push them tepidly ?u*d econom*
icnlly for the market. If the pregnant
bow's ration has supplied sufficient
protein for hone and muscle 'building
in the pigs and she has been kept
in good physical condition through ex
ercise, the product should be a strong,
Inalthy littor that will make rapid
iiixl (Mioap gains,
For the first few weetfs, when the
pigs will bo nourished entirely by the
sow. her ration should bo sufficient to
furnish nn abundant flow of milk,
Ilowover, If sh^ is overfed, causing a
heavy flow of milk, the pig*, aire likely
to liavc M-ours. If this occurs, the
feed of the sow should bo reduced im
mediately, *fhd she should be fed 15
to 80 grataa of copperas in her slop
Aiofhthg* :'to night until scourtiig
Cease.' . Titration for a sow suckling
!>:??' >ut 4 per C(>ut of her live
\ wheq not on pasture. Tint for
t' ' est rogults the sr>w and pigs
' ! be ou pasture. Whoa, on a
non-leguminous pasture such as rape,
rye, and ilenmida grass, the k sow
should havo a -grain ration equivalent
to 3 per cent of her live weight. On
Alfalfa, red clover, and other legumes,
the grain ration need not ho over 2
per cent of her live weight. The sow's
grain ration should be well balaneod.
.Sevpral balanced rations are givon
later in art icle. iy ?
Tho young pigs wtyl begin to oat aC
3 to 1 weeks of a go. If the littor is
small and the sow is on pasture and
has "a liberal grain ration) the pigs
will ne6d little additional feed. If tho
litter Is large and Urn mother a light
milker, the tpigs should be givon a
slop of sklm-milk and wheat shorts In
a creep not accessible, to the mother.'
If mftk Is not available, the shorts
may be made Into a thin slop witli
water. At 7 or 8 weeks of age, corn
jtfffry? be substlttued for one-half the
shorts.
Tho^age of weaning depends upon
whother or not two litters are to bo
raised per year. In -no case should
pigs bo weaned under 8 weeks of ago;
10 or 12 weeks is better. ?At yeaning
pimo tbo feed of the sow Is reduced
to slack the milk flow/ and the rations
of the pi,g8 sholud be increased so
that there will be little interruption in
the growth pf the pigs. The weaning
should bo abruptly, and under no cir
cumstances should the bow bo return
ed to the pigs. The most critical
is weaned and is eating well. The
feeding from then on is a matter of
making the best ration from the avail
able feed.
For the cheapest gains pigs should
be on pasture at all times. Home pas
tures for summer grazing are alfalfa,
clover, cowpeas. soy beans, peanuts,
Bermuda grass, rape and -velvet
beans. However, pastures should
not be relied upon to make pork alone.
The most rapid and cheapest gains
are produced by supplementing the
pastures with a grain ration. ; Thei
amount of grain to feed when hogs f
are on pasture is approximately 3 per
cent of their live weight. The follow
ing grain mixtures are recommended:
Corn 1Q part#, tankage 1 part; corn
and middling1 equal .parta; corn 6
parts, soybean meal 1 pari; or corn 2
parts, velvet bean meal 1 (part. With
leguminous pasture, sijch as alfalfa,
clover, cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts,
etc., corn alone may compose -the
grain ration.
? There are other factors affecting the
physical condition of the anipial that
exert considerable influence upon the
rate and economy of. gains. There
should bo clean drinking water and
a pool where they may wallow. Tho
?hog has a very high body temperature
and requires considerable water and
shade to keep cool. Hogs cannot make
rapid gains unless free from lice. t?ico
may be controlled by the use of crude
petroleum rubbed on the hogs or by
dipping with, any of the cpal-tar dips.
Hogs should have access at all times
to mineral roughage, which is a gen
eral tonic and appetizer. The follow
ing" mineral roughage is recom
mended: ' L
