French Fort Toulouse
Plans are under way for the build­

Fort Toulouse, which was an Indian
town nearly 400 years ago.
Fort Toulouse Is In Elmore county,
near Montgomery, Ala., a short dis­
tance from one of the principal high­
ways lending into the city, and it is
the Intention of historical experts to
pnke this point available to tourists.
The plan was launched by Peter A.
Brannon, curator of the Alabama De­
partment of Archives and History. It
wns only recently that a murker wns
placed at old Pole Cat Springs, 30
miles from Montgomery, where Lafay­
ette spent the night on bls way to
Montgomery.
Fort Toulouse Is rich In history. A
granite shaft Ims been placed there
to commemorate the old French out­
post of 1714, which Is n miniature rep­
lica of the shaft erected to General
Montgomery on the plains of Abraham,
nt Quebec. The old French cemetery
Is at Fort Toulouse, and here some
of Jackson’s men were burled, the
pince becoming known as Fort Jack-
son. The treaty of 1814 by which the
Indians ceded all their lands south
of Fort Jackson to the United States
was signed there.
• New Jersey Roads
With the completion of Its construc­
tion program for this year, the New
Jersey state highway coAitnlsslon will
have added 100 miles of Improved
roads to the state's system. The
board has now under contract GO miles
to be paved this summer nnd awards
of work to be made shortly will in­
crease this total to 100.
New Jersey now has 840 miles of
state highway routes and 404 of these
miles have been completed with a

Alfalfa Versus Clover
for Pasture for Swine
Alfalfa excelled red clover as u pas­
ture for h< gs In recent comparison«
made at the Indiana station. Alfalfa
proved capable of currying more bogs
per acre than clover and produced
slightly larger gains with less corn
than was required on clover pasture.
The slowing of «lover pasture, how­
ever, was very satisfactory. The two
pastures carried 18 to 20 spring pigs
to the acre when the pigs were full
fed and about seven pigs when limited
grain feeding wns practiced.
In one test pigs were fe<l n limited
ration of two pounds of grain dally
for each 100 pounds live weight. Part
of the pig« grazed alfalfa und part
clover pasture. Gains made by tbe
two lots were practically identical, but
the pigs on alfalfa required only 243
pounds of corn per 100 pounds of gain
compared to 255 pounds for the pigs
on clover pasture.
In a comparison of pigs which were
full-fed corn nnd tankage on the two
pastures the pigs on alfalfa outgalned
those on clover by a slight margin j
nnd required five pounds less cor^j nn«l
four nn?l one-half pounds less tankage
than the pigs which ran on clover pas­
ture.
Exercise for Stallions
Stallions should have a liberal amount
of exercise during the breeding sea-
Bon. especially during the last half.
They should have the equivalent of
eight or ten miles a day on the road.
This exercise should be given early
In tbe morning. Nothing will pay bet­
