I I ECONOMIC HOG PRODUCTION # Plant Grazing Crops and Feed Heavily at All Times. Clemson College.?'"The market bog hat sees his first birthday usually t?e? money for the owner." This tatsment is made by D. W. Williams, ireetoclc specialist of the Extension lenrlce, in discussing profitable hog traduction in South Carolina. This Deans that the hog must go to the laughter at eight to ten motnhs of ,ge, weighing two hundred pounds. Phis is not an unusual weight for togs at eight months. Recently one eeder averaged over two hundred on welve head at five months. To make irafits frpm hogs it is necessary to eed heavy at all times. A starring irocess is a losing one in growing togs. The hog raiser's problem, therefore. "How can I make the most hog, in he least time at the lowest cost?" Mentjr of feed VHrrided ahead of type the solution. Pigs farrowed in 3a* tary and February should be reatfy or the October and .Norember mar:ets. Start now and provide the feeds hat will be needed this falL We can* tot compete with the corn belt farmer aising hogs in a dry lot on porn and purchased supplementary feeds such a shorts and tankage. While those tre always necessary to make the best ;ains, ws must use forage crops Just is ranch as possible. With the' wide ise of forage crops cheaper pork can ? produced in South Carolina than in he corn belt ? , , ? Be sure to plant soma supplement try feed crop with your corn. Cow teas, soy beans, and velvet beans all uraish good grazing for hogs. In ha Call lat the hogs do the harveetng and yon will find but very little rasted. Lat the hogs yen are going o market- gather most of the feed; hen when it gats so. scarce that they gut eorer a great deal of ground in jetting enough to eat, remove them ind lat sows and smaller pigs finish ileaning up the Held. A small patch of sweat potatoes will Ornish much, succulent feed, whieh rith a grata ration will make very lattstactory gaftM, Every farmer, whether er not he alee hogs, should have some alfalfa, t pays laidsomely where it Is Town. As a forage crop for hogs ft s unexcelled. . It is questionable whether it Is advisable to plant very many peanuts for togs this fhll says Mr. Williams. KThilfe hogs make very cheap and apid gains on this crop, the carcasses ire greatly discriminated against on he market. Soft drippy pork is not lesirable. South Carolina is now (reducing hogs that sell to better adrantage than those from other South irn States, because these hogs kill tard as a rule. It is to our advantage o continue marketing a superior predict which sells well toward the top of he market rather than to get a repitation for soft hogs ar,1 take a cut n price which is often thre^ or four ents per pound. Hogs will he marketed 'his fall in arload lots from practically every ountv. Aim to provide a few surplus logs for these shipments to help esablish a hog market in this state. Be ure to kill enough to assure your lome supply of meat; then market he surplus. Ta the future of diversiled farming in South Carolina the iog Is one of the most promising facers. 2REEDY HENS ARE GOOD MOTHERS. Clemson College.?It is not gener lly known that the greedy mother rho eats almost all the food (hrown o the baby chicks is doing her best o prevent the loss of her brood. Just tefore a chick is hatched it absorbs be greater part of the yolk of the egg. Ills yolk will not be digested for a reek or ten days, and if the chick is irerfed its system becomes clogged. he yolk decays. and the chick dies. Many persons raising chickens in rooders make the fatal mistake of eeding the biddies too much. The >rooder is aot a greedy hen and it annot eat the food and thereby preent the chicks obtaining more than hey should hare to eat Fdace the brooder oa sharp sand, tare the temperature one hundred legrees when the chicks are rumored rom the incubator, and do not feed he chicks the first day. Give them uttermilk or sour milk; otherwise resh water. A tomato can with a lOle punched near the open end hould he filled with liquid and inerted over a saucer to prevent the hicks from becoming wet. Or the second and third days seat* or a little rolled oats on the sand loor four or five times daily. Or. the ourth day begin alternating rolled ats with some roar; ? hominy or commercial chick feed. The latter fs r?ferab!e because :t contains also millet seed and cracked wheat. Scoter the?? on the ?ne litter to make he chicks exorc'-e. On the fifth day provide a drv mash f e^ual parts homlry, wheat shorts, oiled oats, tor ground oatu with the oils removed). wl-Mt hran. sifted eef scraps, and bright yellow cottoned meal Keep this dry mash heore th chirks constantly. If these suggestions are followed, he bahv chicks arft likely to pass hrougli the critical period without ny niish?;. The South's greatest need for food s fcr soil food. ? BROWN ROT IN FRUIT. i Save Your Peaches and Plums FroaiHj This Destructive Disease. Hj Clemson College.?Brown rot of'H peach and plum is one of the mart H i widespread and destructive diseases H of fruit that we have to contend with H In many cases the entire crop is ds- H stroyed just as the fruit begins t? ripen. Practically every orchard in I South Carolina is infected with it and I while it is widespread and very 4m- fl structive. it is at the same time easy to control, according to Director H. I W. Barre, of the South Carolina ft- I periment Station, by spraying with n l.'tMA attlfwa I uuurouuut There are numerous commercial brands of lime-sulfur oa the market and some of these hare been tented by careful experimenters and fouai to be very satisfactory. ^Tbe ordiaary commercial lime-sulfur solution haa been used at the rate^ of one part to eighty parts .ocVwnttr with fair success. This mixture will control brown rot Sometimes, however, and under certatf>v conditions of temperature and i tij. it destroys a certain percentage of the foliage. The safest and bent mixture to use is the home-made stif-. boiled lime-sulfur mixture, nude qfl follows: Use 8 lbs. of freah quick lime and 8 lbs. of sulfur (flour )to B gais. or water, aus uus up pr,piaping the eight pounds of frsal^ljpej i . a tub or tarrpl ,ai#} add.*st ?<*! i^ water to slake it 4a excess of wab r seems to drown the. lime and ritar a the slaking process. As soon as Ufa lime begins to eniaMe apart and a violent boiling is set up, add eight pounds of snlfur and stir in thoroughly. adding enough water to keep aajr part of the mixtnre from becoming try or burning. Keep this well stlndft' and allow the boiling to continue for ,~ 5 to 10 minutes. Special care shook' be exercised at this time to keep tub' part of the mixtnre from becemlak dry. Enough water should be addeC In fret, so that the paste ttthA enough to be easily stirred. After the boiling has continued f to 10 mlaalsp enough water sholud be added In essl the mixture. ' The trees should be sprayed two to three weeks after the shucks drop, and again at iaterrals of from two to four sjeoks until the fruit begins to OAT SMUT. ; Easy Control Measures Prevent Qreat tm. Clemsos College.?Oat Smut is the most widespread and deatructire disaase of small grain. It frequently oc^^ curs as a serious disease wherevMH I rtafs em orwAwn if nwnnnr nnnfml I ures are not practiced. This alone reduces the production of in this State by at least 10 per o^^H| and in some fields there are lossdHs^ high as 50 per cent, which ean easily be prevented by inexpensive seed j treatment, says J. L. Seal, Extension i Service plant pathologist This disease is caused by a fnngtn I which grows within the the tissues of ' | the plant. The spores germinate -i about the same time that the young; 1 oat plants Come up. and the filaments : of the fungus remain alive in the oat j plants without apparently causing m ' serious damage until the plants begin to head in the spring. It then concentrates its efforts in the oat heads and fills up the places where the grains should form with the blacfc, sooty masses of its spores. As these masses of spores break op, they ar* scattered by the wind to all "* parts of the field. Many of them lodge . on healthy heads of oats In the Held. ' while others are infested in the thqeali ing operation; but in both cases the spores remain alive on the grain until planted in the Call. Seed for planting should not be saved from fields that show over t t? 5 per cent of smutted heads, and in that case the seed should be treated; Kven if a field is practically free W \ smuts and there are smutty fields near it. the seed should be treated. in ract, tae material tor seen uw raant is so inexpensive that there is no reason why alt train seed to to planted shoald not be treated beforehand. , If there is a neighbor In roar community who treated his oat seed last fall, compare your field with his and see if there is not money saved by snch a practice. STEM END ROT OF WATER. MELON. j Clemson College.?This disease Is I comparatively new, hut it causes a " serious loss of melons in transit. ' There was a loss of 2,500 carloads of ! melons shipped from the southeastj ern states last summer, due entirely o this disease. It is seldom found in, : the field and the shipper is often aaI tonished that 40 to 60 per cent of his 1 nylons rot'ed in transit, when at the j time of shipping they are apparently ; in good condition. The stem-end rot fungus is common ! on ripe or dying vegetation in and i around melon fields, especially on | cotton and corn stalks and old melon vines. These become covered with black fruiting bodies of the fungus In which countless spores are borne and from which they are scattered by the,/"j wind. When a m^lon is cut from the' , rine. a drop of sap exudes from the 1 cut stem ; nd provides ideal conditions j for infection. The knives and hands of workmen are often carriers of in fection. and thus perfectly healthy melons miv become diseased, j . < j A good stockman must be a ite , ' eessfu! producer of feeds. ?"fr?s
