Pig Loss Heavy In Fall, Winter *i _ Mineral Mixture Is Best For Porkers; Soybean, Corn And Peanut Diet Is Defi cient Columbus County hog growers are aware of the heavy losses that occur during fall and winter j months for practicably all hog grown corn and soybean?, or soy beans alone, or peanuts alone. Georgia Extension Animal. Husbandrym? have found thest crops are deficient in minerals and that a mineral mixture should ,be given to the hogs at all times. I In several demonstrations that . were conducted in the state of ' Georgia shows that there were less losses when a mineral mix ture was fed. It appeared that these minerals strengthened the j hogs digestive system and pro- j I tein poison and digestive disorder | are less frequent. In fall and i j winter soybeans and peanuts are J ! lesa palatable anS hogs often fail' to eat sufficient grain to balance I their rations. Dried soybeans and peanuts are; too often avaiVble in the field, Enjoy Delicious Meals AT THE CITY CAFE While Selling Your Tobacco In Tabor City UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT COMPLETELY RENOVATED .1 - CITY CAFE, Mrs. Joe Spivey, Mgr.

Up-To-Date Tobacco Plant Bed WEEDING.?Farmers must continually fight weeds and insects starting even be fore the seeds are planted in the beds. After the plants come up and until it is crop ped the battle rages. after late fall rains set in and a mineral deficiency will cause heavier losses as a result of eating the decayed beans or pea nuts. Therefore, Columbus Coun ty farmers who plan to hog down any of these crops should include a free choice of feeding o? good 'mineral mixture and a full feed ing of corn or other grain. Although the hogs will utilize I the soybeans about ljlO pound jof fish meal, or tankage should be fed to each hog daily. 1|10 pound per head hogs on corn and soybeans is sufficient and will give economical gains. | With the shortage of steam I bone meal, N. C. Swine Extension I Specialist have worked up two mineral mixtures that can be fed } to hogs of Columbus County. . I Mineral no. 1: ? 40 pounds finely ground lime | stone j 40 pounds steam bone meal 119 pounds common salt | 1 pound powdered copperas only 1 ounce powdered blue stone Mineral no. 2: 50 pounds finely ground lime stone [30 pounds hardwood ashes 19 pounds common salt | 1 pound powdered copperas only one ounce powdered blue stone. In mixing up this mineral mix ture be positive that only one ounce of the powdered blue stone is added to the 100 pounds of | mineral mixture. One ounce will help the animal in his growth .and five ounces will probably kill j the hog. j Be sure to provide plenty of I fresh water at all times and see that mineral and grain are avail I able, especially when hogging | down soybeans. Farming Offers Many Ways To Take Time Off I Careless Handling Of Ma i chinery Furnishes Numer ous Chances For Subtrac tion Of Hands, Feet And j Leg* "Where there's a will, there's a way." An old proverb goes something like that. It can be ( used to advantage in lots of i i ways. It works wonderfully, In | ; case anyone on the farm is In terested, in arranging co-opera-1 tion with the doctor and druggist i and in getting "a few days off." from work around the farm. By very little effort in fact, acting about as usual on too many farms?farmers and their families can arrange for "a few [ days off." Here we offer just a j suggestion or two about the trac- j tor merely as a guide. Not of1 course, that any suggestion is needed because there are so many I "opportunities" on most farms. Our first suggestion concerns, the tractor itself. If one is an j energetic farmer and gets out | to the field real early, there is, better than average chance of be ing brought back a little after sunup. Why? Because the tract or, and the plows, disks, mowers, cultivators and other Implements used with it, offer excellent op portunlties for "a few days off. With no trouble at all one can subtract feet and hands and legs and blood and maybe life?if one is of a mind to go that far? | around farm machines. Quickest methou is to be sure j and throw away those "darn, worrisome shields and guards" around the power take-off shaft and start "fiddling" around it with any loose clothing or gloves one may have. Or one can climb to the rear of the tractor and yank that lever on the tractor and the two bottom plow while the tractor is still moving. It saves time and promises quick results. If you wtflild rather be closer to the house and not have to be carried so far, why not wait until noon when you drive the tractor) to the house? Then follow these j directions. (X) Stop at the stor age tank near the barn, (2) de-i cide to gas up (3) don't turn off i switch (4) fill 'er up and (5) be j ready to yell at your wife or j someone to get the doctor. Also, | is the barn covered by insurance ? I Far-fetched idea? Not if you! read and study farm accident I There are many other oppor- f iunities inside the home and ] around the barn. There is no need to wait for National Farm Safety Week to get started be cause one can arrange to be in the hospital at least once and maybe twice for "a few days off."
