is carrying out. Last year Mr. Williams
planted Abruzzi rye on most of j

gave plenty of grazing. Mr. WilliarAs
is a small farmer but every

LOOK AFTER SPRING
LITTERS OF PIGS
CI meson College, April 10.?A comfortable
house with dry bedding
menus much to the spring pigs. In
fact, all ot'.er cor.ditons may be perfect,
and yet if this point is neglected
failure may result.
Get the pigs on a milk or milk and
shorts ration by the third week of
their existence, if possible . This may
be done by building a small pen or
creep near their bedding place and
putting a small amount of milk in a
shallow vessel (something that can't
be overturned.) They will soon learn
to eat. In crease the feed as they advance
in age, but don't feed more
than they will clean up. Keep the
vessel clean b> occasional scalding
ar.d supitin}?.
The first four months of a pig's
life determines largely his after sue
cess. Never let him lose his ' pie
fat' during this time. Prepare now
for ample grazi ?g, hy sowi g rap.
or rape and grain mixed. This can
be grazed by the pigs within six
t:> eight weeks after sown. Allow
them to run on any green crops, especially
clover or vetch, as soon as
they will graze,?usually by the
time they are four to five weeks old.
Keep a succession of field grazing
crops maturing throughout the summer
a rl fall to supplement their daily
ration of g**ain a id (o enable them to
produce a product at a profit. Hogs
fed on grain alone without craximr
creps, will give little or no profit.
GAREFUL FEEDFNF
PREVENTS ODORS
Clemson College, April 10. ?Several
farmers have made complaint to
the Division of Animal Husbandry
and Dairying1 of Clemson College that
the milk from their cows have a peculiar
smell and will not churn. Just
what is the cause of the trouble cannot
be given, but the following has
been found to be the usual conditions
when the complaint is made: The cow
i.% getting n >thing but dry feed, she
l as been milking several months, and
there has been a sudden change of the
temperature.
The treatment for all such cases is
to give the cow some green food or
Dotatoes or tnrnins Tf it
pa ted give her one pound of Epson
salts. Then raise the temperature of
churning.
Difhcult churning is due to Irving
to churn whole milk or very thin
cream at too low a temperature; having
the churn too full and churning
at too slow speed. Butter should come
in not less than 25 minutes. The ordinary
feed of the cow will not effect
the flavor of the milk. Eeed having
a high flavor as cabbage, onions an :
hitter weed will give a bad flavor.
CANNED VEGETABLES
FOR MAKING SOUP
Kor the canning club members w?io
do not find ii practicable to procure
soup stock during the summer canning
season, and who would like a
supply of vegetable soup during the
winter, the specialists in charge of
hoys' and girls' club work, North and
West, suggest that the vegetable portion
of the soup be canned separately.
Whenever the soup stock is available
during the winter the preparation of
1 ho soup is a simple matter. .Mixed
vegetables for the purpose may be
canned according to the following directions:
Soak (> pounds of lima beans and 4
pounds of dry peas over night, Boil
each one-half hour. Blanch 1G pounds
of carrots, G pounds of cabbage, 3!
pounds celery, 6 pounds of turnips, 4
pounds okra, 1 pound of onions, and 4
pounds of parsley for 3 minutes and
dip in cold water quickly. Prepare
the vegetables and chop them into
small cubes. Chop the onions and celery
extra fine. Mix all of the vegetables
together thoroughly and season
to taste. Pack in glass jarsf or tin
cans. Kill with boiling water. Partially
seal glass jars. (Cap and tip tin
cans.) Process 90 minutes if using a
hot-water bath outfit; GO minutes if
using a water-seal outfit or a 5-pound
steam pressure outfit; 45 minutes if
using a pressure-cooker outfit.

SORE SHOULDERS 0F*~
HORSES AND MULES
The cause of sore shoulders can almost
invariably be traced to illfitting
or filthy collars. Owners, as a rule, |
pay little attention to the fitting of
collars and their care, and, consequently,
most farmers have one or
mere horses or mules with sore shoulders
during their busy season.
The chafing of ill-fitting and filthy
collars causes inflammation and abrasion
of the skin and, in many instances,
injury of the deeper tisucs.
Ouitc frequentily dee]) seated absesses
form above the shoulder joint a:
the lower part of the collar seat.
These abscesses and the growth of
fibrous tissue which form in this region
require surgical treatment, but
simple abrasions and inflammations
[ of the skin yield readily to treatment
| if treated promptly.
Jn this, as in all diseased conditions
I
it is necessary to remove the cause.
| This can be done by keeping collars
I ch art, as often as removed from the!
j animal, while accumvlat'o: s are soft,
a. a I easily wiped off, and by seeing
that they fit so tne shoulders will not
I be chafed and bruised. The practice
! of removing collars and bathing shoul
j dors at midday is one of the best pro;
ventive measures that can he adopted,
j As neon as the skin of the shouhicrs
pnear sensitive, it should be bathed
| sr veial limes daily with a solution of* j
i alum or other astringent solution, j
i Removal of pressure from the inflamed
skin is absolutely necessary!
and if this can not he accomplished by
changing the style of collar or other.
! method, the animal should be rested
until the shoulders heal.
Abscesses which occur at the point
of the shoulder should be opened as
soon as they form, syringed daily
with suitable antiseptic solutions, and
be kept open until the discharge
(. cases. Kailure to <lo this will result
in the formation of hard fibrous tu-1
mors which can only be removed by i
operation.
nitrate?easw |
grows in favor!
Washington.?The committee on .
agriculture of the senate favorably
reported to the senate for passage the
E. I). Smith nitrate bill. After a series
of long and exhaustive hearings
I the measure was reported favorably
by a practically unanimous vote. It is
i conceded among the senators and othj
' ib who have studied the bill that thi:
i is an important, if not the most im:
portant, measure yet introduced in
congress bearing on the subject of
pc rmanent improvements.
When seen after the committee session,
Senator Smith said:
"I believe the passage of this bill,
which now seems assured, will guarantee
the farmers of this country a
fair and just price for their fertilizers
; When tilt* yovprnmonl elm 11 U .?*??
established its plants, it will be in
position to determine the cost price
1 of nitrates and potash and then,
! though it may never produce a pound
I of munitions of war or fertilizer inj
gradients, the factories or plants established
for it will be the means of
holding private corporations within
fair prices. These plants will always
be potential and available, and if an
unreasonable price for these ingredients
was charged, the governmnet
could enter immediately into their
manufacture and relieve the situation.
Not only that, but in case there was
in the minds of the legislators that
unfair profits were being made the
government would be in position to
ascertain that fact instantly. All tluic
it would have to do would be to refer
to its own plant and the cost of pro
(tuction and by comparison ascertain'
the real facts. It wuild relieve all of
this burdensome process of hearing
interested parties on both sides as to
the facts alleged and then, as in most
cases, finally referring the whole
matter to the interstate commerce
commission, which itself must be
largely dependent upon ex parte testimony
in such cases. As stated once
before, it will make the government
absolutely independent of the possible
exactions or extortions of private corporations
for its munitions of war,
and will relieve the country of the
menace of private corporations interested
in the manufacture of these articles
lending their influences to a
fomenting of war sentiment.
