FUUJtC News for tl WILL HORSES AND MULES ai EAT VELVET BEANS la ti< ' Because of the High Price of Corn, It if Is Highly Important That Velvet Beans Be Fed as Largely as m 1* Practicable. ar P< There are millions of acres of vel- w vet beans in the South this year and ti< it is highly important that they be fed as largely as possible,- as a substitute for and to balance high-priced corn. We know that cattle will eat M velvet bean meal?beans, ground with the pods?and that this meal makes a good feed fdr those animals. We also know that hogs learn to eat the velvet beans in the fields after frost. 01 But reports comes to us that the ?* meal is not satisfactory feed for hogs, a that they do not like it and do not do well on it, especially pigs two to five months old. We also have reports ar from several sources that horses and tl! mules refuse to eat this velvet bean w meal. Prof. John M. Scott, of the ra University of Florida, who has pro- S1 bably had more experience with vel- ?t * 1 ; J mAva aKnnf. vet Deans aim nrmcn uviv them than any other man in the se South, says: "My personal experience has been that horses and mules T1 will not eat velvet beans even when ar ground. This may be due entirely w to the kind of mules we have here on the farm, but we have tried num- r*( bers of times to get our mules to n< / eat a ration containing velvet beans, so and we have always found that they CI will eat out the other feed and leave ^ the beans" / U? Even if we grant that the best way ce to dispose of velvet beans is to graze them in the fields after frost, with so cattle and hogs, it is still important sa that we teach our hogs and horses to se eat the meal. Many beans have been di grown this year on landwhich is in- si: jured by the tramping of livestock in at wet weather, and moreover, we need C< such a protein feed as velvet bean se 4 meal for hog feeding, especially For horses and mules cottonseed meal will serve the purpose required,-but we need the velvet bean meal for feeding hogs, especially during the In winter. to As a generl rule, when it is proved P* that one class of animals eats a con- W1 centrate like velvet bean meal and mi does well on it we do not consider seriously any complaint about other ? animals refuseing to eat it, but this ^ may prove an exception to the rule. We know that many animals refuse a*' ? to eat melilotus or sweet clover at first, but afterwards eatit and do well on it We also know that many ; - horses and mules at first refuse to eat ^ cottonseed meal, but thousands have learned to like it and do \well on it. mi As-of interest along this line, Prof. *a' E. R. Loyd, Director of the Mississippi Experiment Station, who has had an extensive experience in feeding m' cottonseed meal to weanling colts?j horse and mule?says he has never j had a weanling retuse to eat it, Dut like many others, he has had animals fed on other feeds for a few years refuse to eat cottonseed meal when 1 it was first offered them. i , It is highly importnt that the ac . , horses and mules of the South be an taught to eat velvet bean meal. The crop is a good one for gathering ni- ac trogen from the air to enrich our poor soils, it is grown with corn and ai adds greatly to the feed produced per- cr acre, and corn always being high- ev priced with us, it is important that mi [ we reduce its use for feeding live- ^ stock as far as practicable. It is not yi< enough to use velvet beans for cattle, alone, we should extend their use as ^ - .. ? ro far as possible. i In view of these facts we hope our readers will proceed carefully and in- ^ telligently to teach their horses and ^ hogs to like velvet bean meal and re- ^ port, results to The Progressive . Farmer. 1C, of In starting any animal on a new jyj feed, especially animals which have j m] learned to like other feeds, it is im- j SQ portant that considerable care be ex-| ercised. It will, therefore, probably be best to grind the velvet beans into g0 a rather fine meal and mix it with 0? some feed of which the animals are ar fond, such as com meal. If by start- ' ing with 1 per cent of the velvet ^ ' bean meal and slowly and gradually increasing it the animals can be fn oaf o rlocirarl r\rAr?ArfiAn WttU^UV wv VMV VltV UVOll VU yi vpui VlVlt it will certainly pay. We believe N horses nd mules will, right from the Pi first, eat 5 to 10 per cent of velvet bean meal when mixed with corn meal, or corn and cob meal, and that in a short time they will learn to eat wi and do well on 25 to 35 per cent of f0 the velvet bean meal mixed with js other ground feed they like. th With hogs it should be remembered J or that they cannot handle too much ai coarse or bulky feed to advantage, fa Possibly for hogs, especially pigs un- pc der five or six months of age, only the ps beans, without the pods, and corn, n? without the eob, should be ground su Hi , ; ... . . le Farmer id mixed; but for brood sows or rge hogs there should be no objecan to grinding the beans in the pod a rather fine meal can be made.

RAPE A GOOD CROP. akes an Excellent Pasture and Provides Feed in Short Time. ClemsOn College,?Rape is the ist winter pasture crop if seeded 1 good soil, say the farm crops men : Clemson College. It will come to stand in three days, and is ready i graze in fifty days. Early this fall turnips, mustard id rape were planted at the same me and on the same land. The soil as prepared the same way. Yet the ;pe was first to come up. Also, it ew up very much faster than the hers. South Carolina farmers should sow ed rape as early as possible now to ;t the benefits of the good season. he seed are cheap and a small nount will cover a lot of land, and ill produce abundant pasture. The crop is best adapted to a ch loam well prepared. .It does )t prove very satisfactory on poor ils. It is a fine pasture crop, tiickens like it, and all kinds of /estock relish it.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK I would have our ordinary dwellg houses built to last, and built be lovely; a srich and full of easantness as may be, within and ;thout, with such differences as ight do to express each man's charter and occupation and partly his story. When we build, let us think at we build forever. Let it not be r present life, nor for present use one, let it be such work as our scendants will thank us for, and t us think, as we lay stone upon ane, that a timeis to come when ese will be held sacred because our nds have touched them, and that en will say as they look upon the bor and rock substance of them: lee! this our fathers did for us!"? hn Ruskin.?The Progressive Farer. !CH LANDS A PREREQUISITE TO PROFITS With cotton at $100 a bale, the fference in value between our avage yield of one-third of a bale per' re and a yield of a bale per acre lounts to $66.66. Even at $50 a le, ^tiie difference is $33.33 per re. Now since the cost of breaking the ad and planting and making the ops is practically the same, it is ident that we have a very wide irgin indeed in which to pay for e extra cost of .making the extra aids. Soil-improving crops and rtilizers may be used rather lavishif they will double or treble the turn. But, as in everything else, there's right way to go about the matter getting double the average yields, le use of commercial nitrogen will vt n Kiif 4-U rt nf a ^ nfmAonVini* ten ?<*y I UUl/ bllC UOC Ui ovuiuopucinitrogen, supplemented by plenty acid phosphate, will pay better, oreover, it will furnish us the huus that 95 per cent of our soils so rely need.

No one doubts the need of the orld for more livestock products r human food, and much attention being given to the increasing of eir production. All agree, also, that t cheap lands the cheapest livestock e produced on pastures. These cts point unmistakably to the op >rtunity of the South to make her istures pay handsomely during the sxt few years. A pasture for next immtr cannot be mads if we wait I until spring to begin. In the northj ern part of the Cotton Belt it is now getting late for the sowing of pasture crops, but this fall and winter there should be a very great increase /in our attention to preparing the pasture lands. The washed and gullied places should be terraced and ' washes stopped by every practical i means. The brush should be cleared j out, and where steumps are few and other obstructions to the running of i the mower are not numerous they should all be removed; for we repeat .Ll ? ? +A A i me mower IS as liCVCixxu; w a 5UUU pasture in the South as a cultivator is to a corn crop. Every possible acre, which has been idle or that has been producing unprofitable crops of corn and cotton should be seeded to lespedeza next spring in addition to the native grasses now growing on it, and every cow and hog grazed which these lands will support. Of course, too early and too close grazing is to be avoided, but with proper attention to the pastures this fall and winter and a free use of the mower next summer in keeping down weeds and briars the South can graze much larger numbers of livestock next , summer than ever before and in- | crease her revenues by just that < much; for it has been well establish- j ed that the increasing the pastures ( on Southern farms does not lessen j our cotton production.?The Pro- i gressive Farmer. 1 . j THE TENANT PROBLEM. The tenant problem is easily one of the most serious matters which today confront the people of the South. It seems that instead of improved conditions everywhere, in * some sections at least, matters are mi -- " 1 I growing worse, inere is less 01 inai sympathy and mutualhelpfulness now than seemingly existed a decade or two ago. In many sections the landlord is growing more distrustful of his tenants while at the same time the tenant is growing more suspicious of his landlord. It occurs to me from considerable Observation that the share system of tenantry is the most preferred. Viewed either from the standpoint of the landlord or that of the tenant, it ?emes that it is preferable. It would seem to make mutual helpfulness advantageous to both, as the greater the crop produced the greater the share of each would be. Also the lease system seems preferable to that of tenantry at will. Under the former the tenant has some incentive to improve the soil, is encouraged to diversify his crops, to sow legumes and in numberless ways to aid in the improvement of the soil. Under the "tenant at will" system there is absolutely no incentive whatever to plan or to execute the work with a view to soil-improvement except for the present; crop. The alarming growth oftenancyin this country ,and especially in the South during the past decade, should cause us to make at least an investi- ] gation as to the causes of this state of affairs, and to set about endeavor- 1 ing to correct these abusese which have sprung up in our civic life. Here is a field fo rthe legislator who has I the welfare of his neighbor and the j. good of his country at heart. i i It would be well for us to keep in < mind the words of the poet: "111 fares i the land to hastening ills a prey, i where wealth accumulates and men 1 decay." and "A bold peasantry a ? country's pride, when once destroyed < can never be supplied."?C.

Ur UUK tUKH mtAL ' ] At the present time 12pound sof corn meal sells for 7{> cents and an c equal weight of wheat for 90 cents. ] One pound of corn meal has 1,728 calories of digestible nutrients, and wheat flour has 1,203 calories, accord- ] ing to our Government figures. >' Thus for one dollar one can buy 27,648 calories in corn meal, and 16, 040 calories in wheat?a difference of 9,608 calories. Considering the fact that the majority of Southern farmers buy their flour and raise their corn, it would seem that to use the corn is decidedly better business. "When I can sell corn at $2.20 a bushel it pays me to buy white flour," remarked a farmer lately.. There are 56 pounds of corn in a bushel. He therefore sells his corn for a little less than four cents a pound, and pays seven and a half cents a pound for wheat. Corn meal runs 48 pounds j to a bushel, and at $3 for 48 pounds | of meal it is bought back at six and a I fourth cents,?a distinct loss. More than this, there is the patriotism of the thing; this leaving the , wheat to be sent to our boys in the trenches.
