IVCdl A Brar 1 Bris The Ideal HOGGING DOWN CORN Clemson College, Sept. ?That the practice of hogging down corn is t a profitable one has been shown by ; numerous tests at different experi, ment stations. Iowa Station Bulletin 143 reports results from utilizing the k crop in this way as coifipared to hand I feeding in dry lots. I These results show that hogs > actually make larger gains and re( quire less feed per unit of gain when allowed to do their own harvesting ' than when the corn is hand-fed. in 1 dry lots. In addition, a considerable item is saved in the cost of harvesting > the corn. Thesif experiments show also that it is very uneconomical to feed corn either in the dry lot or in the field ' without a protein supplement. When i corn alone was used, from 50 to 80 > per cent, more grain was required for 100 pounds of gain than when 10 per cent meat meal was used in the ration. The farmer does not always ; need to buy his supplement but with a little, forethought can often supply this in the form of home grown for, age crops, such as cowpeas, rape and pumpkin,s vptch, rye, etc. Prom flinco Tawo _ _ ? ... M.vwv *v ?? u vy*|/Vi Illiciuo II1U following conclusions may be drawn, says W. D. Salmon, assistant animal husbandman. 1. It is more profitable to hog down corn than to hand-feed. 2. It is never economical to feed corn to growing, fattening hogs without a protein supplement, in some form. 3. It is profitable to feed highpriced meat meal or tankage when hogging down corn. 4. It may be more profitable to use forage crops as supplements wnen hogging down corn. 5. Of the forage crops tried, rape and pumpkins ranked first; soybeans, second; cowpeas, third; and vetch last. I 6. Instead of paying for having the corn harvested, the farmers may have the hogs do it for him and pay him for the privilege. 1 Moralv-Let the pigs do it. V.

The three men have >een sentenced to die by electrocuion on October 21. That outcome has been reached in iccord with the method which civilzation prescribes for dealing with nurderers. No other method could lave accomplished anything more These men will pay the due penalty or their crime. The law ' has not ailed. When it was given a chance, t proved itself completely competent. What more could anyone ask? Is lot this outcome far preferable to hat which mobs sought to bring bout when they tried1 desperately to yncb these three men? Yet it was with the greatest difficulty that the liw was aiTorded a chance to funcion in this case, and the public was reated to the humiliating spectacle f officers of the law in flight before he mob and "hiding out" their prisners from it. It is to be hoped that those citizens f South Carolina who have seemed a feel that they could transact the iws' business better than the law self will be impressed by the promptess and the certainty with which the *w, when at last it was allowed to erform its appointed function, has ealt witji these three murderers ? lews and Courier.
