In using the peas for toil Im

In' rows between the corn, this

Hogs are non-sweating animals
and unless they are provided with
protection in the form of Bade or

.In order, to keep down the suffering
from heat most effectively..
If there are no trees in the pas
ture to provide shade, a good shel
ter from the sun may be construct-
"' ed ' by setting short posts in the
ground and building a roof of light
boards over these. The boards
should be nailed down to prevent
their being blown away by the
wind. If the owner wishes the
building for permanent ahade, raft
ers can be set up and the structure
made more complete.
A shed-root type of building 14
feet long and five and one-half feet
high Iri front sloping down to three
and one-half feet high In the rear
has given satisfactory results on
the Kentucky Agricultural Experi

ists of the station say. No sides
are put on the building as free
circulation of air Is desired. "
When concrete wallowing tanks
are used In keeping hogs cool,, a
small amount of oil should be plac
ed in the water to keep the animals
free from lice.- Care should be tak
en to see that wallows of all kinds
are kept clean.
,. Many Rented Farms Stress Need Of
Better Contracts
.More than one-third of the farms
in Kentucky are-operated by ten
ants, according to the 1920 census.
Leasing contracts under which
'many of these farms are operated
point out the need in the State for
.more general use of contracts which
will keep the land up in productive
ness and at ' the same time enable
the tenant to make a fair profit
and tne landlord a lair raie 01 re
turn, according to W, D. Nlcholls,
head of the farm economics de
partment of the College of Agricul
ture. "One type of successful leasing
contract is that which includes
of peas is worth about 18 on the
basis ' of the commercial cost Of
nitrogen, the specialists point out.
Also the hay obtained 'from ' the
peas. Is satisfactory feed for all
classes ' of livestock. When . the
manure resulting from the feeding
of the peas is returned to the soil.
20 to 30 pounds of additional nitro

In summer the. bedding for hogs

Drainage Of Farm Lamia Getting
, " ' Added Attention
With the decrease in the cost of
tile, Kentucky farmers this year
have shown more Interest in the
drainage of their fields than they
have in any one of the past three or
four years, . according to -Earl O.
Welch, farm engineering specialist
of the College of Agriculture. In
line with this marked interest
twelve demonstrations have been ar
ranged by the college extension divi
sion on as many farms in eight dif
ferent counties of the State to point
out the value of drainage to interest
ed persons, he said".
Warren Madison, Rockcastle and
Carroll counties each have two such
demonstrations while Muhlenberg,
Hart, Webster and Jefferson coun
ties each have one. Additional
demost rations probably will be ar
ranged In co-operation with farmers
in other counties in the near future.
i'lt Is impossible to bring soil up
to the highest state of fertility with
out good drainage," Mr. Welch
pointed out In speaking of the pro
jects. "When land is poorly drained
at all, every quality necessary for a
fertile soil is either wholly or
partially destroyed. Poor drainage
lowers the ' availability . of all the
plant food elements by preventing
