C., June 2S.- The grower who depends on pasturd alone to fatten his hogs will figure his profits from the use of the ho;:. Records kept on several thousand head properly fed during the past elv months show conclusively that hogs paid at least $1 a bushel above the market price fcr corn. Iftiweve \ 1 one can still drive through North Carolina anu see thousands of hogs under-nourished end failing to gain in weight because the owners are di pending on pasture alone for a large part of the feed. W. \V. Sh y, exponent < C wise hog feeding in North Carolina hud pjomotir of-count'.ess hundreds df feeding demonstrations put ou with! farmers by the county agents of Stjite College, states that the hog market'last month reached the h'ghest point ih six years. Except during the inflation of wartime prices, hogs are in aii exceedingly strong market position ljor the next live months, and the hog ciofn ratio ts near uic ingnesi on recorn. bui, ne states, it is time for hog producers to bear in mind the viqlant downswing of prices that has ttein caused in times past by over-expajisfon under similar price relationships.! By not properly feeding out their hogs, many growers in Noilli Carolina are not taking advantage cf the conditions outlined by Mr. Shay. Furthermore, ?some owners of half-starved hogs are selling corn while others are feeding corn alone, ^lr. Shay states that 7.9 per cent of :| the corn crop is sold off the farm wliure raised. The total yield of corn |n Xortti Carolina last year was estimated to he Vl.821,000 bushels. A difference oi %y per bushel secured by converting this corn into pork would amount to $3,201,39S, which might have bean * :* : -> * ! STRONG RE: !

HEAT STROKE IN HORSES. j Many horses arc seriously injured and sonic are killed by what is pop-j a la ly ca'lcd "overheating." Sun-' - ... I stroke is no' common in tno r>ouin j among people, fut "lioat stroke" is | ; quit" common among horses. This is a case where an ounce or; prevention is worth a ton of cure. It [ is not excessive heat that causes the j trouble. If ihc horse is in good con- j dition, is fed right, and is not given , harder work than his condition or training justifies, there will be no. heat stroke or over-heating of the '] horse. The ifrst error to be guarded j against is to have the horse in good ' condition or accustomed to doing trie I work required of him. when the first j hot days appear. If the horse is in j good health, with his muscles hard < from, having done the same kind and ! .mount tf work for two or three | weeks, the first hot days are not go-1 ing to hurt him. But if he is not ! accustomed to work, or if he is given I much harder work or work of a different kind, then the first excessively j hot days, if the work must be changed j or if the animal Is not accustomed to i: id work, considerable care must ; be taken or heat stroke may result. The f'ding may also have much to do with the failure of a horse to stand excessive heat when at hard work. If his stomach is loaded up with hay, 'lie over-filled stomnc and Intestines press on the lungs, which interferes .vith breathing. I.arge quantities or 1 ,u w hoy are certain to cause the aninals to suffer more from the heat ! wht 11 : t hard work. Green grass has | he same effect. During hot weather the horse that | is worked hard should get no rough-! age t xcept good, dry hay, and the j luantiiy of this should not exceed j 'hree-qnarters of u pound daily for j very 100 pounds of the horse's weight | ?and all of this should be given at | the night feed.?Tait Ilutler In The j Progressive Farmer. HOW TWO FARMERS MADE $1,310 FROM HOGS "There's no money in hogs." "The highest per cent profit I made :;ii my farm last year was from hogs fed by the Shay ration a-nd sold by the Lewis plan." Here are A and Z statements taken from a lot of comments made by farmers who have sold hogs at prices that ranged from 100 per cent profit to 50 per cent loss. We doubt whether any branch of agriculture in North Carolina has advanced so far ahead of what it was a few years ago as the breeding, feeding and sale of fat hard hogs. County Agent J. W. Cameron of Anson county. North Carolina, has been encouraging the growing of hogs and helping the farmers do It right. He says that ho has Just received a check for $700 for 22 hogs shipped to Charlotte from the farm of Messrs. It. B. and T. V. llardlson. They recently sold 14 hogs of the same age f t P (\f\ dsnuuiwl Thnv olon o nl/1 Kl 1UI <IUV'U UiCOOCU. * UVJ UIJU OUIU W* i pigs from six sows for $10 each. This is $1,810 from hogs sold in the , spring when there is a greater need . of money on the farm than at any other time. At presenf prices for coti ton it would have required a little ' more than 21 bales weighing 500 pounds, to have brought the money i received by Yfssrs.

C., June 2S.?The silo on the dairy farm is indispensable where the owner has as many as ten or twelve cows and the cost is small as compared to value. There is an increasing use of silos ! in North Carolina because silage fur- j nishes, during winter, that feed which j nearest approaches summer pasturage at its best.,- Silage is a succulent feed when pasture is not available] It makes possible a cheaper ration, gives a greater feed value to an acre of corn, and keeps up the milk flow in winter. "Forty per cent of the feeding value of corn Is in the stalks and leaves, and these are saved when converted into Bilage," says H. H. Gordon, extension agricultural engineer at State College. "The average cow will consume thirty pounds of silage each day, und the dairyman should have three tons of silage per cow or enough to carry her for six months. To figure the acreage required to produce this amount, one should figure ] a ton silage for each five bushels or i corn. Land producing fifty bushels I of corn per acre will produce ten j tons of silage." Mr. Gordon states that when feed- j ing front the silo begins, at least ' two inches should be removed each ] day to prevent spoiling. Therefore the number of cows to be fed determines the diameter of the silo. Less I than fifteen head of cattle will require a silo ten feet In diameter; fifteen to twenty-five not over twelve"I feet In diameter, and twenty-five to j 10 head not over fourteen feet tn diameter. It is not advisable to build j a silo over fourteen feet In diameter, ' and should the herd require more si- | Inge another silo should be con- | structed. A wooden silo costs about |2 to , $3 per ton capacity; a concrete silo from $5 to |6 per ton capacity, and a hollow tile silo-from $10 to $12 per ton capacity. Bills of material and instructions for building silos may be obtained free of charge on application to Mr. Gordon at State College. DAM FURNISHES WATER FOR ANSON FARM HOME Wadisboro, N.

Just ' below Mrs. Wall's home there is a I branch with a miniature water fall about twenty-five feet high. At the foot of this fall is a fine Rpring flowing about two gallons of water per minute. At the request of County Agent J. -.r Ahsnn eountv. H. H. | Gordon, farm engineer for the extension division nt State College, studied % % the situation for Mrs. Wall. He found that the house was at an elevn-J tion of about 150 feet through a dls-' tnncf of 000 feet from the spring. The spring itself had too small a tlotv and too little fall to pump the water to the home, but, by using tne brunch nearby Mr. Gordon found that i the waterfall would make conditions j ideal for using a combination hydrant-J "c ram. The brancii water wouiu ue used for pumpinK the pure spring wat?r to the house. A pneumatic pressure tank was used- to hold the water. This was fitted with a relief valve so that any exc ss water and air could be exhausted and allowed lo escape through an ' oterl'iow pipe, in this way the ram! could tun twenty-four hours a day! and requite no further attention, as a result of making these installations, Mrs. Wall now has water in two luthrooms, tiie kitchen and about the yard. According to Mr. Gordon, the system is working beautifully, and Mrs. Wall is much pleased with the <-?nveni?nci> jiiul the relief from drud gory. This is but one of many similar installations that have been made about over North Carolina. For simplicity of operation and economy or use. they arc hard to beat. When they have once been established in a farm home, the owner feels that never again would he be without such a water supply.
