HIGH PRICED FEED AND RELATION TO PROFJTSJQH HOGS Care of Animals and Disease Prevention Main Factors in Making Money on Swine Raising. The man who has a herd of hogs can make a profit from feeding them this fall and winter, even if feed is high. The profit he will make depends entirely on the care he gives the animals. Luck affects the business of hog feeding very little. Disease may strike the herd that is cared for properly: but the well-handled herd is much less susceptible to contagious disease. In the first place the hogs should be "roughed" as much as possible. This does not mean that thAv ahnnld be underfed. However,

all the odds and ends of feed should ho civpn it is frequently much handier to give shorts, corn, etc., from the cribs and granary; but along with these feeds other stuff can be fed with good results. It is advisable to get full value from the pasture when other feed is high. Much profit results from a good late hog pasture. The man who has an alfalfa pasture has good green feed until late in the season. The man who has an alfalfa pasture, and shuts his hogs off it too early (providing the lose - nifnifu is erowine well) win money. Green feed sucn as anaua contains valuable growing elements. It helps balance up the ration and results in larger profit all around. One man has an extra fine herd of red hogs this fall. He lives in a section where the drought hit very hard. Corn is rather scarce. This man has fat shoats. There Is not a runt in the bunch. The hogs have done so well in this case that a profit will certainly result from feeding them. The owner made a specialty of studying up on balanced rations. He experimented until he found a combination of feeds which promoted rapid growth and kept the animals healthy. He makes good use of his alfalfa pasture; he has the alfalfa field fenced into three divisions. As Boon as one pasture is eaten down he turns the hogs into the adJoining patch. Some corn is fed along with the alfalfa pasture. Also enough protein feed is given to make the ration well balanced. The farmer mentioned usually depends on meat meal (tank age) for supplying the protein ration; but with oats selling from 28 to 35 cents a bushel in his territory he finds that by feeding oats he can supply the protein feed with a minimum of expense. There are many advantages gained by getting full value from green pasture as late in the season as possible. In the fall, growing hogs, have healthy appetites. Alfalfa, rape, etc., fill the void in their Interiors, and at same time build up bone and flesh. It has been proven frequently, however, that without a grain ration in addition, green pasture will not do the business. SHIPS MUCH WHEAT Cambridge Dealer Sends Out 100,000 Bushels. CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind., Sept. 23. J. S. HazelrigK, a local grain dealer, has within the last ten months shipped form his elevator 100,000 buflhels of wheat and oats. In addition to this he has shipped 52,189 bushels of corn, the greater portion of which was purchased from farmers residing within a few miles of this city, at a price of 80 cents a bushel. Question Box The editor of the agricultural page will answer questions of farmers, truck gardeners and persons having gardens, through this column. Address Agricultural Editor, The Palladium. On an old field that has been used for several years for hay production, will it be profitable to plow the soil from eight to ten inches for a corn

crop next season, wnen tne ground has never been plowed deeper than sinx Inches before? Ans. With an ordinary mold-board plow, the best results will not be obtained by increasing the depth of plowing from three to four inches the first season. The plant food stored up in the lower sub-soil, is not available immediately for plant use, and should be brought to the surface gradually. The action of the sun and air and rain all serve to liberate the fertilizing elements in this new soil and put them in available form for plant use. It is usually the case where the deeper subsoil has been turned upon top of the furrow in any large quantity, that the following crop is perhaps not as good as the one previous, but the succeeding year, after the plant food has been made available, the benefits of deep plowing are shown in greatly increased yields. There are now special sub-soiling machines on the market that do away with this difficulty. These machines Btir the soil as it is turned, and the upper and lower strata are mixed together in such manner that no great amount of subsoil is left on the surDeep plowing is undoubtedly an excellent plan to follow, but it should be done with care, and gradually increase the depth of the furrow from year to year.

SEND CORN ESSAY , A number of papers have been received in the contest being conucted by The Palladium Farm Service Department. Since wheat sowing began farmers have been busy in the fields, and it has been thought advisable to extend the time limit of the contest until October 1. Write an essay on "The Value of the Early Selection of Seed Corn" and mail it to the Farm Editor of The Palladium. Perhaps you will be the one to win . the bushel of pure bred seed corn.

PURDUE WILL HOLD MILK TEST EXAMS Plans to Accommodate Per sons Seeking Right Licensed Testers. as Owing to the demand for testers' licenses under the new Indiana cream ery end testers' license law, the dairy department of Purdue university agricultural station will continue to hold examinations on the first Monday of each month. These are held in Smith hall, Purdue's new dairy building. West Lafayette, Ind. The next examination is to be held at 8 a. m., October 5. This new law has served to standardize cream and milk testing in the state of Indiana, since all testing must be done by a licensed tester, using standard glassware and standard methods. This insures an accurate test for butter fat, which benefits the producer and buyer alike. Circulars Nos. 41 and 42 of the Purdue experiment station explain this law and the rules of the examination thoroughly and also the operation of the Babcock test. Before coming to Purdue each applicant should secure a copy of each and study them carefully. They may be secured free by addressing Prof. O. F. Hunziker, chief of the department of dairy husbandry, Purdue experiment station, West Lafayette, Ind. TO USE WATER GLASS SECOND TIME We have received a number of inquiries asking whether the water-glass solution for preserving eggs can be used more than once. In most cases, and for small quantities, its re-use is not worth while, because the cost of fresh water glass is less than the value of your time required to do a good job in .puritying it. But purification is possible, and on large amounts of water-glass solution is well worth while. There is no reason why the water glass should not be used over and over again except for the fact that the eggs are usually dirty and contain organic matter on the outside. This of course will remain with the water-glass solution to a considerable extent, and by .repeated use of that solution will accumulate. To purify it, strain the dirt out by filtering through clean absorbent cotten. When the water glass has set to a jelly you will of course have to l.eat it up (as a rule with the addition of some water) in order to make filtering possible. A good way to filter water glass is to use either a glass or graniteware funnel, the larger the better. Line the inside with a thin layer of absorb ent cotton, putting a plug of it at the bottom. Wet the cotton thoroughly with water and then pour in the waterglass solution.

HOW

USE CEMENT CAVES FOR STORING ROOTS Farmers Find New Method Good for Keeping Potatoes and Turnips. The storing of winter fruits and vegetables is not a difficult task if you have a suitable place for storage and getting them put up free of bruises and rot. All the root crops such as potatoes, turnips, beets and sweet potatoes should be dug before heavy frosts, more especially the sweet potatoes since frost Injures the flavor and keeping qualities to a marked degree. Potatoes and turnips do very well hilled up in the open under a good covering of straw and soil, yet the best real storage for winter produce is a dry warm cellar. By warm we do not mean a heated cellar but one which will maintain a steady uni

form temperature a little above freezing in the coldest weather. Light should be excluded except for an occasional airing on warm sunny days in winter. The old style of potato caves have almost gone out of date since the saw dust became so scarce but the newer cement pits are taking their place. A. dry spot is selected which is higher than the water line thereabouts and an excavation made some four feet deep, twelve feet long, and eight or ten feet wide. This is then floored with cement and walled with cement blocks such as are used in building. The wall extends some two feet above the ground level and is then arched over in the manner of a concrete bridge. The soil is then banked over the cave thus constructed as an added preventive against the worst freezes. An inner and outer door is made at the storm entrance, very close fitting to exclude air, and steps to the floor below as to an outdoor cellar opening It is best in case of an extremely cold ! winter to bank up straw next to the cement and pile the fruit or vegetables neainst the straw. Such nits are eiving good satisfaction where they have been tried out and will keep anything from canned fruit to tuber crops. It is very easy to keep from having i eggs to take off to market next winter by neglecting the hens now. No amount of extra attention next winter will make up for poor care. Feed may be high but it will pay to treat the poultry rignt anynow. nut tnat means regular care in feed and watering, not spasmodic attention. In order to save some of the feed FOR HOW LONG RICHMOND RAISES A PERTINENT QUESTION. When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is, "How long will he keep well?" Temporary relief is one thing, but-a lasting cure is altogether different. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills as the following Richmond evidence proves beyond a doubt. Mrs. Fred Heater, 607 North Thirteenth street, Richmond, says: ""One of the family wrenched his back and after that had a great deal of trouble with his back and kidneys. He used Doan's Kidney Pills, which were obtained at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug &tore and they cured him. I am glad to confirm my former endorsement of Doan's Kidney Pills." Price 50c at.ay dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Heater recommends. PosterMilburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. (Advertisement!

j Poultry Hints

which is often given grudgingly by many farmers to the flock which does not seem to be paying expenses during the moulting season, and in order to make it easier to care for the best part of the flock, : the farmer should go out to the ben house and help his wife catch all the old roosters who are still spending' their vacation on the farm, and rut them In a coop ready to go to town. Along with them should be sent all hens over one year old last spring. All hens kept should be marked some way to tell them from the pullets now coming on. We have used punches for the feet, leg bands, and wires around the legs at different times. Any of these will do very well, or certain toes may be clipped off. The main thing is that something should be done so that there will be no uncertainty as to which are the old hens when it comes time to cull again. In order that the hens have green feed next winter it is best to sow a patch of rye earl ythis fall. If we had

to do without the little rye' field we would do without hens. It beats sprouted oats, hanging up cabbages, fctc, so often practiced by small poultrymen. The rye next spring will make humus in the ground if turned under, or may be left to ripen for hen feed .allowing them to do their own harvesting, although for that purpose we prefer wheat.

In the spring this rye can be pastured early before grass is ready and caa then be plowed under in time for spring planting. If it is desired to put the land in grass the rye makes a good nurse crop for clover and other grasses.
