the tendency of the meat packers to

by a three-weeks corn finish after the

Upshur oounty Farmers’ Exportenoa

“From four acres of my peanut
land I killed 1,600. pounds of meat,
which sold at go per pound,” said
Mr. Smart. “I only fed ten bushels of
corn to that bunch of hogs. They were
made on peanuts and I cleared more
on that land than I could have
with cotton. I killed two hogs weigh-
ing 800 pounds apiece. They were fed
on goobers and finished with corn
for twelve Amts.” •

The writer while at Hortense last
Saturday, took a look at some of the
feed, stuff that Mr. J. D. Handley had
raised last year. Mr. Handley had tn
bis barns, peas, Sudan grass, sorghum
and other feed stuff, he had gathered
from his farms last year. Mr. Haodfoy ■
stated that he had picked last year
from his pea crop about Zi.OOO pounds-
of peis and gathered about 40 tons
of sorghum and Sudan grass. He also-
stated that there were enough peas
left in the field to fatten 3,000 pound*
of pork. He stated that his Sudan-
grass was planted on the 10th of July
and be got two cuttings from this
crop. The last cutting was made about*
the 10th of October.
Mr. Handley Is one of the county’s
most progressive farmers and believes
in raising plenty of feed stuff and has

A number of eases of milk fever
have acme to my attention the last
ten days. As thia disease is usually
.fatal to the cows afflicted, and as the
treatment is extremely simple, it seems
well to give the symptoms and treat-
1 01 White tJllted"mllk fever, there is
seldom any <ever. Cows which are
heavy milkers, usually tn good flesh
M and well fed, are those which suffer
the most. The symptoms appear at the
time the MU) flow starts. This usually
v occurs oeSd second or third day fol-
lowing the dropping of the ealf.
The early symptoms are restless-
ness, the cow shifts from one hind foot
to another. She gradually gets stiff
and loses control of the hind quarters.
The next stage she is unable to rise
becomes starey at the eyes and
throws her head around to the side.
Before this stage is reached she oom-
£ pletely forgets her calf.
4 The treatment Is the injection of air
' Into the udder, which relieves the
blood pressure and the congestion
there. This treatment should be fol-
lowed by a laxative. The usual dose is
one pound of salts, used as a drench.

ease may btAad won request, in case

According to experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
during the past twenty-five years tho
production per acre of crops of the
United States has been increasing at
one per cent, a
year. This upward trend is not
readily observed in yields from one
year to another, owing to the wide
yearly variations caused by the vicis-
situdes of the seasons. But when
average are obtained of a series of
years, the effect of the seasonal varia-
tions Is neutralised and the general
trend is readily observed.
During the decade of the seventies
and eighties, when there was a vast
expansion In farm area in the West
and crops were growing on a more and
more extensive sckle, the tendency of
yield per acre Was downward. Since
the early nineties, however, the trend
has been decidedly upward.
In all important counties of the
world the yield per acre of crops Is
tending upward. In France, 100
years ago, the yield per acre of wheat
was less than the average now in the
United States, but the yield Increased
in each decade, the average now
being about twenty buaheto: the in-
crease during the 100 years has aver-
aged about three-forths bf OM\ per
cent, a year. Similar Increases have
been made In other countries.
A striking reversal off the general
upward trend, due to a specific cause
is the reduced yield per acre o’
cotton In those sections affected b'
the ravages of boll weevil. Befor
the presence of the boll weevil th
yield per acre in all states tendc
upward. But since 1910 the bollweev'
has caused the average yield la state

affected area has continued to tocreasr
