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.

With the completion of Its construc

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

Exercise for Stallions
Stallions should have a liberal amount

They should have the equivalent of
