In Alabama Train With AU Corn, Fork Gains Coat 7 Cento a Pound, and With ?07 Beans, 3 Cents?Comparative Values of Cowpeati and Soy Beans?Buy Tankage If You Have No Hog Pas. tores. It Is frequently stated that the Southern farmer can not feed corn to hogs profitably. It has been pret? ty thoroughly demonstrated that he can not afford to feed corn alone 10 hogs, but It Is equally well estab? lished that with good hogs and the right kinds of other feeds to prt p erly balance the corn he can af? ford to feed some corn, even when It Is selling at as much as 76 cents to $1 a bushel. For Instance, ln 1907 the Alabama Station realised 98.6 cents per bushel for corn when the corn ration waa supplemented by a soy beans pasture, allowing $8 as the cost of making an acre of soy beans fjaj hogs at 6 cents per pound. In 1908, when corn was fed to hogs on soy bean pasture, allowing $8 per sere for the cost of the soy beans, a bushel of corn brought ] $1.69 when three-fourths of a full ration was fsd, $1.69 when one-half a ration was given, and $3.35 a bush? el when only one-fourth of a ration of corn was fed, and the balance of the feed was soy bein pasture. When corn alone was used It only brought 48.9 cents per bushel from the gains made; or if wo estimate the corn at 70 cents a bushel and soy beans at $8 per acre, pork was made at the following prlcea: Cost of Pork Gain Per Hundred Pounds. Corn alone.$7.15 Corn. 3-4 ration, and soy bean pasture.3.31 Corn, 1-2 ration, and soy bean pasture.3.48 Corn, 1-4 ration, and soy bean pasture. 2.46 Corn is a standard hog feed all over the country, and It will be of In? terest to show how many bushels of corn It takes to be equal to an acre of soy beans. Feed a Bart Ration of Corn. In 1907, with rather a poor crop of soy beans, hogs grazed oh soy beans and fed a half ration of corn, made as much gain from an acre of soy beans as from 19.3 bushels of corn. '907, with three-fourths of a ration of corn, an acre of soy beans was 1 iual to 48.2 bushels of corn; with ? ne-half a ration of corn, an f soy bean pasture was equal to 39.9 bushels of corn, and with one-fourth of a ration of corn an acre of soy beans, was oqual to 42.3 bushels of corn. The facts available seem to indi? cate that at least from one-fourth to one-half of a ration of corn, or some similar feed, should be fed to hogs when they are grazing soy beans. Pas'.er and cheaper gains are gener? ally made, a better carcass is pro? duced, and the hogs fed ln that way usually pay a better price for the corn than It will bring on the mar? ket The soy bean la usually a more valuable grazing crop for fattening hogs than the cowpea, because it is a better yielder of grain or seed. The ccwpe.i not only yields less on an a\erage. but Is not so reliable. The yield of cowpeas varies more, and in some instances so litt 13 seed is made that the crop Is very unsatisfactory as a grazing crop for hogs. When the peas make a good yield of seed they are a very satisfactory and profi? table crop for grazing hogs. The cow pea is also better adapted to sow? ing In corn, and corn and cowpeas make good grazing for the fattening hogs. Some complaint is made that the hogs do not eat the soy beans w?ll. This may occur when the hogs are unaccustomed to the beans and the beans are ; Wed to get too near maturity before the hi <?s are turned on them. When the area of soy beans is so large that the hogs will not graze it off too quickly, which is always de? sirable, the hogs should be turned in as soon as the pods are' ?f full size, or even earlier, and in such case they more rendl'.y learn to like them, t'se Tankage If You Hu\c No Pasture. We have insisted1 that corn n,ime Is gof a profitable feed for hogs, and MW/ we wish to Insist with equal em? phasis that soy beans, peanuts, cow Bjfjgg or any other legume grazing etag Is not, when used alone, as profi? table or satisfactory as when used In connection with corn, or some sim? ilar feed like rice or Its mill prod? ucts, rice polish or rice meal. Owing to the fact that sweet pota? toes produce large yields, and are ? tontparatlvely rich in carbohydrates, they may be need for the purpose of balancing the rich protein feeds, POWpsaa S"V beans and peanuts; bi.t Ihe ewoel potatoe is too bulky in ?rtion to ihs food it eontatni to .in stittrel) sa lief act ory feed ogs. . it. >i.

Some Big Potatoes Grown by Rocky Bluff Farmer?Good Farming and Good Health. Roekfly Bluff, Dec. 7.?We are hav? ing some fine weather now and the "darkles" are making good use of It, for there Is still lots of cotton In the field. Our neighborhood can't boast of lots of pretty girls (for there are only two girls around here), but we can boast fine farming hands and plenty of fine, healthy children. Last year Richard Wells, one of our small boye, won second prize In the Boys' Corn Club contest; this year one of the first cotton blossoms carried to the j Item Office was carried by Mr. J. L. | McLeod, one of our farmers; the frrsc gfjan bale was carried in by Mr. G. P.1 Josey; Richard Weib? this fall took first prize for the largest yield and first prize for the best 10 ears of corn In the Boys' Corn Club con- i test. I Mr. Sumter Watts raised 60 bushels' of potatoes on one-quarter of an acre and some of them he says are so very large that three persons can make two meals off of one potato. Mr. W. F. Baker has a stalk of cotton that matured and opened 136 large bolls, If any of our writers can boast of better corn, cotton or po? tatoes lets hear from them. We also have a very healthy climate for we 3eldom ever have any sickness to re? port. Mrs. W. F. Baker and children spent a few days of last week at Borden and Plsgah. Mrs. J. S.

Columbia, Dec. 5.?Lonnie Hall, a' young white man of Columbia, said by penitentiary officials to have been one of the most dangerous convicts in the prison, was paroled by the gov? ernor of South Carolina yesterday after serving about one year of a 15 year sentence on the charge of man? slaughter. He was convicted in the Richland county court in September Of 1909 together with J',hn WhiteJ who received a sentence of 10 years on the charge of killing Eber Ash i ford ln a fight on Gates street. White was also paroled several months ago. Hall was paroled by the governor "during good behavior and on the further condition that he abstain from drinking liquor, playing cards or other gambling." There are some interesting circum? stances surrounding the parole is? sued to Hall. Officials at the penitentiary said that Hall had given much trouble as a prisoner. According to the officials, Hall struck an attendant and for this act he was punished. Yesterday the brother of Hall carried a letter to the governor in which it was stated that the prisoner had been mistreated by the officials. Upon reading the letter the gov? ernor telephoned D. J. Griffith, super? intendent of the penitentiary, to bring Lonnie Hall to his office. Capt. Grif? fith compiled with the wish of the governor and brought, the prisoner into the presence of the governor at tho State house. The governor asked Capt. Griffith as to the treatment that Hall had received. Capt. Griffith ex? plained that Hall had struck an at? tendant and that he had been flogged as a result. The governor said that he had in? tended to grant a parole to Hall and that a large petition had been filed with him. He immediately granted the parole. In The Recorder's Court. The following casen were heard by Recorder Lee this morning ln the Police court: L. I. Strauss and A. B. Morrill. fighting and creating a disturbance, $5 each.

Walker, Central Figure in Sensational Flight*. Washington, Ga? Dec. 5.?Three hours after he had been shot in the face by John C. Hollenshead, the brother of the man he murdered, T. B. Walker, the negro whose sensa? tional escapes have made him a fa? mous criminal in this section, was legally hanged here this afternoon. Walker killed Charles Hollenshead, a wealthy white merchant, October 28. Later he was taken by a mob from an officer, but escaped. He was cap? tured, sentenced to death, and when being brought here from Augusta to be hanged escaped again. He was caught, and after being sentenced this morning was shot while in the court room. The court house was crowded when the shot was fired and consternation reigned for a time; many believing the negro had made another break for liberty. The bullet passed through Walker's right cheek, Inflicting only a slight wound. He was hanged at 2 o'clock. Holllnshead, the negro's assailant, who had been a member of the posse which had been searching for Walker for four days before he was captured, had advised his companions to allow the law to take its course, with re? spect to the negro. He collapsed im? mediately after the shooting. DISCUSS SHOE FACTORY. Bastnesj Men of City Met in Chamber of Commerce Wednesday Afternoon A number of business men of the city met in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday afternoon aid thoroughly discussed the matter .?f getting a shoe factory to come to Sumter. The scheme was endorsed and some subscriptions were made. However, as the meeting was not nearly so well attended as was de? sired no definite action towards guaranteeing the amount desired by the manufacturers should they move to Sumter. A plan to canvass the entire town to raise subscriptions for the desired amount was agreed upon and a canvass will be made In the next few days. The shoe factory would be a big addition to Sumter and the people should respond with subscriptions readily as this is sure to be a paying industry. Death of Mr. Z. E. Carter. Mr. Z. E. Carter of Creston died in this city the first part of last week, while on a visit to his uncle, Mr. C. T. Quick. His death was caused by apoplexy anud came very suddenly.
