HOGS IN RAPE AT MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

Many of the fanners In these sections

and on many farms the hogs that are
raised are regarded as a side-line rath-

of Income. "Iiitlii'.( eastern Mates It f.s'l
estimated on .Innutiry 1, HUH, there
were only 1!,CS7,000 hogs, or uliout !
per cent of the total of C.S.000,000 re
ported for the entire country.
The principal reason why hogs are
not raised more largely by eastern
farmers, the animal husbandry experts
of the department say, Is that many
farmers in this section have not yet
realised the value of cheaply grown
forage anil pasture In swine produc
tion. The general conditions In the
East offer opportunities for profitable
pork production, but not where hogs
are kept in pens 0 by 10 feet and led
on grain alone, with no green feed ex
cept occasional waste vegetables from
the table.
There seems tilso to be an Impres
sion throughout the East that only
those farmers who have rich, level
land should raise hogs. As a matter
of fact, (he specialists say. Hogs are
most easily handled on farms that are
fomewhat rolling. For the production
of grasses the upland farm Is often
about as good as the level one. There
Is generally a better water supply, and
c hilly farm Is likely to have more
Finale This does not mean that the
hill farmer has the better situation,
but in a great many instances he has
certain advantages which lie does not
appreciate.
Advantages Offered by East.
Tlje eastern farmer Is in the midst
of top-notch markets for hogs. The
prices paid for hogs on the New York,
Jersey City, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh markets are on an average high
er than the prices paid for hogs on
any of the western tnarket".. The
East Is peculiarly adapted to hog rais
ing, In view of the fact that markets
for fresh pork and cured taeats may be
found in local communities as well as
In the larger cities and the various
coast resorts. j
Corn is being grown successfully in
the East, and in soiae sections the av
erage yield per .acre Is greater than
that of the middle V'vrf. .Clover, blue

grass, in fact, many forage crops es
pecially adapted for swine feeding,
grow readily In nearly every section of
the East. Uye, oats, barley and wheat
also are grown, and these young, grow
ing cereals make excellent early spring
pasture for pigs. In tho trucking sec
tions there Is wasted annually a vast
(Itiantlty of unmarketable products
that might be used to advantage and
with profit In feeding hogs. The dairy
districts offer a further advantage to
the hog raiser by furnishing such by
products as skim milk and buttermilk,
which are especially relished and
profitably utilized by growing pigs.
While there are many advantages In
favor of profitable pork production In
the East, ou many of the farms these
advantages are overlooked and hogs
are confined within a pen about (5 by

Pasture arid Forage Crops.
(No farmer Is irepared to raise hots
profitably unless he is well provided
with pusture. The1 pasture should be

culent and rich in muscle and bone
forming materials, vhut the most Impor
tant consideration In favor of pnsture
for swine in summer Is its small' cost.
The earlier in the year green feed can
be supplied the better. Swine of liny
age relish green feed, and its use al
ways reduces the cost of producing
gains In weight. In addition, It keept
the- animals in good thrifty condition.
Forage Crops for the East.
For fall and early spring pasture the
cerenjsmre unexcelled In this section
of!th Jolmtry. Itecuuse ydinig wheat,
iiats, rye and barley are such good
grazlni: crops and are green wlien frost
has killed clover, they are ideal crops
to grow for pigs during tin late fall
and inrly sprlng.i Anynf theo cereals
do well planted singly or In combina
tion with Canada peiis and vetch,
These crops' can be planted In early
s-prlng In those sections where the win
ters are not too severe. The pigs
should he turned In to pasture the
cereal crops when the plants attain a
height of about (1 to 8 inches and
taken off when the plants reach such
a height that tho pigs begin to spit the
chewed material from their mouth".
This is because the percentage of crude
filler (the Indigestible part of the
plant) Increases rapidly ns the plants
grow larger.
Field peas sown either alone, or
with oats or oats and rape, nre a most
satisfactory summer forage crop for
plg. The seeding should be done lu
April or May, and If conditions are
right the crop will be ready to pasture
In about .'50 or -10 days. The pigs should
not be allowed to graze over the whole
field, but should be confined to small
plots by temporary fences or hurdles.
The pigs make a very thorough har
vesting, cleaning up the peas anib vines
finite thoroughly. The vines that nre
lt'ft on the ground, together with the
manire, enrich the soil uud add more
humus to It.
Tlnpe ns n fornge crop Is highly
recommended for hogs wherever It can
be grown successfully. It nuiy be
sown both early and late in the sea
son, but the best yields are usually ob
tained with spring feeding, and If tho
crop is not pastured too closely growth
will continue until fall. If there Is
enough moisture in the soli to germi
nate the seed, It Is generally ready to
pasture In about six weeks. When
j rigs nre.pHt on rapt U takes them
soiae time before they acquire a taste
for It. Young pigs do not make as good
use of. rape pasture as oldi'r ones. .The
'lings should not be.turncdon the'Vnpe
until the plants uro'iU lensttoninches
high. j. . p ' ,
Profitable Forage Crops.
Forage crops will largely, though not
entirely, rcplnco the use of grain In
futjeulng hogs for market. The cost

.- Grains for Hogs on Pasture.
Mature, dry-brood sows nre pome
times maintained in apparently satis
factory condition on good' pasture
alone. Young, growing pigs, on the
other 'linnd, running on forage crops,
without, grain, scarcely maintain, their
weight. There Is no time that grain
can be so profitably fed to n hog aa
when he is young unci running on pas
ture. Under such conditions It Is pos
sible to secure jr pounds of gain for
each bushel of grain fed. During tho
spring and summer and early fall
months from nne-half to three-fourths
of a full feed of grain will be sulliclent
for hogs running on pasture. Moro
forage will be eaten by the pigs than
If n full ration of grain Is fed.

Hundreds of bees swarmed Into the

sought refuge lu the next room,
while the teacher and the older boys
did battle with the bees with wet

county, attended the little schoolhouse
In VIncllOstor, the scene this week of
n reunion of teachers and pupils of
other dnys, he, then n boy of fifteen,
concealed a pipe lu a cavity formed by
two stones near a stone wali, close to
the schoolhouse. He hid it so that
his teacher, Mrs. Nellie Miller, would
not find it on his person.
Last Thursday Mr. Emmons visited
the school for the first time In fiO
years, and, after climbing over the
stone wall, got down on his linnds nnd
knees and fell beneath the two
stones. Old classmates asked Mr. Em
mons what he was doing.
"Looking for my first pipe, which I
hid here from .the teacher," he replied.
He didn't find it.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth Crumples Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.
In the legion now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains a number oC par
nib I faults were developed clove to
gether and the broken pieces of the
earth's cruM between them were
pushed up, the rocks on one vide of
each crack riding up over tlio-e on
the other side until a great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains llnt-l.liig parallel beds of
rock were locally turned on edge,
rumpled up and folded lu a wonder
ful'y Intricate niaiiner. The-c up
i .rued ami crumpled rocks are well ex
iioed in Ogden canyon. The west face
f the Wasatch range Is believed to
mink the plane of a normal fault at a
neatly vertical crack in the earth's
rust, the rocks on the east side of
which went down. The forces which
luixc raised these mountains art1 still
act!c, for movement along this fault
has distill bed the surface recently.

The Stoker In Battle.
In the modern battleship, as Is well
known, the stoker, like the narsmau of
am lent Itomnu galley, has his work
all below deck. The soallght rages
above him, and he can randy If over
see a battle. One of the stories con
nected with tlie battle of Jutland Il
lustrates the stolid character of the
ItrllMi stokers. A chance was given
two of thefc during the light to comu
from below. They were on the War
spile, which was heavily engaged. One
of thorn was telling a domes-lie story
to the other as they went up to the
deck. At the hottest moment of the
tight their grimy heads appeared at the
lop of the hatch round which splinters
of shell were crashing. Above the
hellish illii the impassive voice of the
stor.v telling stoker was heard, as calm
as tlioiii.ii tit ii "pub" over a mug of
ale. sayhiL'. "I always thought 'e ort
to 'avo mat lied 'or."

but nothing can bo more fashionable
than blue Just now, madam, I assure

by railroads. For, while the movement of these
heavy shipments has been wonderfully rapid, the
resources of the different roads, despite enlarged
equipments nnd increased facilities, have been
strained as never before, and previous records
have thus been broken in all directions.
The largest Canadian wheat shipments through New York ever known
are reported for the period up to October 15th, upwards ol lour and
quarter million bushels being exported in less than six weeks,
and this was but the overflow of shipments to Montreal, through which
point shipments were much larger than to New York.
