; SORGHUM AND COWPEAS
WITH HAY
%
Clemson College, S. C.?Sorghum
and cowpeas when sown together foi
hay are too often planted in tin
wrong proportions. Too little cane
seed is used, and the result is, that
instead of the cane stalks being small
and palaiabie they are large and
coarse . This makes it much harder
to cut and cure. The pea vines grow
up on the cane stalks and there is
such a mass of forage that if is very
hard on the mover and on the stock
in cutting it. If the seed of the two
crops are sown thicker the stems ol
" the cane will be much smaller, more
easily cured and more palatable to the
stock. By mixing three bushels of
Amber Cane with two nf ,./m?
peas, and planting with a grain drill
at the rate of three bushels
per acre, a hay of very line
quality can be secured. The land
should be plowed and harrowed thoroughly,
so that the surface will be in
good condition for the mower at cutting.
From three to four hundred
pounds of fertilizer should be applie<
in the drill at the time of planting
Cutting should be done as soon r.s
most of the cane has headed and before
the seed hardens. Hay grown
thick in this way, will be more easily
handled and cured, and is more palatable
to stock than if too little care
seed is used in the mixture, and the
hay growing too coarse.

GOOD AID TO PASTURES
Clemson College, S. C.?One of the
j greatest problems before the live
stock farmer is that of securing good
pastures. When once a good pasture
is started everything possible
should be done to preserve it and
keep it in good condition. Very few
farmers ever think of working the
pasture, of fertilizing it or getting
rid of the numerous weeds which take
nossession during the summer. The
cattle, naturally will eat all the tender
palatable grasses, and leave the
weeds to yrow. Unless some ston is
taken to get rid of them before seeding,
then the pasture gradually becomes
more and more weedy. There
is no one thing which can be used to
better advantage for this purpose
than a mowing machine. By keeping
the mower busy in the pasture
every time weeds make their appearance
and before they go to seed, one
can greatly improve the pastures.
Bitter weeds and wild onions arc our
worst pasture weeds, though there
are others. Those can be held ih
check and others killed back if thr|
pastures are mowed often enough.
There have been many complaints of
milk being bitter, of having bad flavors,
and it is all due to the fact that
the farmer allows the weeds to grow
in his pastures, and never once thinks
of the mower. Keep the mowers
going, kill the weeds and let the
grass grow.
o
On a great many farms in South
Carolina fowls actually suffer from a
want of sufficient water in summer.
See that plenty of pure, cool water is
provided your fowls at all 'times.

PIG-CLUB RESULTS
VERY GRATIFYING
The pig-club work has been carried
on by the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the department during the past
year in cooperation with the State
Agricultural- Colleges of Alabama^
Arkansas, California, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Nebraska, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas. Pig
clubs were organized among the farm
children and proved a means of
arousing further interest in livj
stock, and at the same time fu.nislKv.
profitable and instructive work to the
members.
The econcm'fc objects of the pig
clubs are: To teach the members
how to raise better swine cheaply; to
give the members a means of earning
profits; and to afford the member.';
a practical insight into the business
side of farming. Indirectly, the im
I provemcnt ol' the swine of the coun- |
try and the general introduction-of |
better and cheaper sv. ine-raising!
methods are purposed.
Each pi.;-club member is required
to keep a record of bis pig-feeding
work and i\?*ort this at the cr.d of the
State contest. Many unusually successful
records have been made.
These arc not typical of the work.|
but rather represent its possibilities, j
A summary and. the uvcragcs of * he
work of many members give a better i
indication of the value of the pig- i
club work.
In the I'j States named, 11,632, reported
completely on weights, \alucs.
gains in weight, costs of gains, ami
profits. No figures are available
from California and Oregon, excepti
as to the number of members.
The figures following are compiled
fiom the complete reports. Seventeen
hundred and eighty-three pigs
were reported, or an average of 1.1
pigs per number. The majority of
members took weanling pigs to feed
in the spring and reported their results
in the fall. The average
weight per pig at the beirinnini? of
tlir- feeding period was 39.2 pounds.
At the end of the feeding period,
which averaged 1GG 1-2 days, the
pigs weighed 191 1-2 pounds. This
was an average dai*y gain in weight
of 0.9 > pound, at a cost of $0,044 per
pound. This low cost of gain can be
attributed, it is believed, to the bettor
feeding methods practiced and the
wide use of forage crops by the members.
The original value of the pigs averaged
$5.24. The average finn'
value was $21.43, a gain in value ?T
$10.19. This gain in value cost
$0.91, giving an average net profi!
per pig of $9.37 and an average nei
profit per member of $10.29.
These figures arc a strong indication
that improved swine, raised in'
the right way, are profitable even
when pork values are as low as they
were in 1915. The vast majority ol
members had carefuliy selected highgrade
and pure-bred hogs, and to this
improved blood, as well as the better
feeding mtehods, can be attributed
the large difference in favor of the
average final value of pig-club hogs
in the fall?$21.43, as compared with!
the estimated average value of ai'
hogs on farms in the United States
on ?January 1, 191(?, $8.40. The
pig-club members have shown their
ability as a body to raise pigs suc-j
cessfully. They have raised good
pigs, cheap pigs, and profitable pigs, i
Many are keeping their gilt pigs
for breeding purposes. Some already
have found it profitable to breed as
Well as to feed pigs. Fifty-six members
reporting on their sows and liters
reported an average profit of
$47.82. With the membership for
this year doubled and most of the old
members again on the i*olls, the pig
work should prove of even greater
economic value in the future.
o
USE HARROW WHEN
; PLANTING PEAS
Farmers should remember that in
sowing peas, that they must be cut
with a mower. Mowing machines
run better if the land is smoothe.
By using a harrow on the land it can
be easily put in good condition for
the mower. In cutting peas on
rough land it is hard on the driver,
the mower, and the stock.

WHERE IS YOUR
REAPER AND BINDER
Now that the grain crop has been
cut, reapers and bir.dc-rs should b?
placed safely away out of reach of
the weather. There is no machine
on the farm which is harder to keep
in running order than the binder, and
if it is to be used another year, then
it should by a!! means be ciled well
and painted if necessary, and put
safely away until needed again.
There are far too many right r.ew
standing cut in th? wer.ther. Mr.
Farmer, if you r.] pi ocir.te your binder
as you should, get busy and s<~o
that is under shelter and out of t':c
way where it will r.ot get bloke ..
Unless you <lo ycu will be sure to
have trouble next spring when harvest,
time comes again. Planters ami
distributors r.hould likewise be rut
safely away, and care taken that 1 o
parts are lost. A thorough cleaning
of r.ll farm macHmry whi-li will r.~t
bo needed again this year should bM
made, and when the time comes to
use them again thc-y will be in good
shape.

IMPROVED SERUM |

?
Process of Making it Clear and
Sterilized For Hog
Cholera
ECONOMICALLY PREPARED
FROM INFECTED HOGS
Not Yet Being IVIac'e For Com-.
mercial Purposes But
May be Soon.
! i/ i m ' i
A new method of preparing antihog-cholcra
serum, which permits the
economical production of a clean sterilized
product, has just been described
in the Journal of Agricultural Research
of the department. The advantage
claimed for the new method
.'M il i .'i *
i? uuu u muxes possirae the production
of an anti-hog-eholera serum
which can be quickly sterilized by
heat to a point that will absolutely
kill any germs of foot-and-mouth disease
and so yield a serum that it is
absolutely safe even if taken from a
hog which might harbor foot-andnouth
disease and yet give n0 indication
of being infected.
The method, as described by its
liscoverers, Dr. Marion Dorset, and
R. R. Henley, of the Bioehemie Division,
Bureau of Animal Industry,
onsists in adding a slight amount of
in extract from ordinary white navy
jeans to the defibrinatcd hog-cholra-immune
blood, which has been the
form of the serum used in the past,
i'he addition of this lean extract
auoos the red c :11s of the blood to
'gglutim.te, and when the mixture is
hirlod on a centrifuge the red cells
ack together and form a rather stiff
jelly-like mass. It is then possible
c. pour off a clear set urn, leaving bemad
the red ee ls, which play r.O
part in preventing hog ehohin and
which, in fact, simply tend to diiutc
he serum and render its sterilization
\v heat impracticable. To ! .. pmisa
i the yield of clem* scrum the discoverers
added a small amount of ordinary
salt and found that they obtained
from 70 to 74 per cent of char scrum.
The clear seium thus obtained it was
found could be healed for 00 minutes
at a temporal are of GO degrees C.
without changing its consistency or
lessening in any way its effectiveness
in preventing hog cholera. The
heating tj> this point for this time is
more than sufficient to kill any germs
. i\ disease which
ccide.ntaily be present. Practical
(.sis with hogs show that piobably
il! of the anti-bodies useful in combating
hog cholera were retained in
the serum and the red colls extracted
contained so few, if any, of these valuable
bodies as to make the residue of
rod cells useless in preventing the
disease.
Before the clear scium was developed,
many attempts were made to
sterilize by heat in a practicable way
the ordinary dclibrinated blood. It
was found, however, that heating the
old product up to (>() degrees C. resulted
in more or less complete coagulation
of the defibrinatrd blood
and in the destruction of the serum
so far as its commercial worth is concerned.
It was found that the highest
temperature that could he used
was 60 degrees C., and it was necessary
to keep the old serum at this
temperature for 12 hours to make
cot tain that the virus of foot-and|
mouth disease was killed. Heating
j serum at a steady temperature over
j this long period in ordinary practice
j is difhcult and too expensive,
j Attempts also were made to make
j a clear serum by centrifugalizing. It
was found, however, that while the
centrifuge would separate to some
extent the red cells, they were in such
shape that it was difficult to separate
the serum completely. An important
quantity of antibodies was left
behind in the red clot, and resulting
product was a cloudy rather than a
clear serum. With this process,
moreover, it was possible ordinarily
to secure only about 50 per cent of
serum. Under the new method it is
possible to secure as high as 74 per
cent of clear serum, which in actual
test has proved to be fully potent.
This clear serum, moreover, can be
completely sterilized in 50 minutes,
whereas the old serum had to be
heated steadily for 12 hours.
