Some color was lent to this by The fact
that Grand Isle member moved for a re.
consideration of the vote by which the
latter bill was defeated. The highway
bill was then passed, and all the forenoon
there were rumors of an effort to be made
in the afternoon to move to again recon
slider the vote by which the bridge bill
WAS passed. At the afternoon session the
cooked for action was taken and motion
was made in regard TO it. The mover was
informed that the bill had gone beyond
the control OF the House and was in the
Senate. Thereupon the Senate was re
ouested TO return it, but sent Il reply that
il had gone beyond their control TO the
Governor. Investigation at the Office OF

THE WEIGHT OF HOGS.
Advantages of the So-Called Early Ma
turity System.

Advantages of the So-Called Early Ma
turity System.
Any one who will visit the stock
yards when large numbers of hogs are
being received will notice great differ
cnce in the size of those marketed now,
compared with what were to be seen
some years ago. Then the course fol-
lowed quite generally was to keep on
feeding hogs until they reached q
weight of from 400 to 800 pounds
which necessitated keeping them
through two winters. This manner
of feeding for market was less profta-
able, to be sure, than that followed
now, when comparatively few hogs
weigh over 800 pounds, but it took
farmers some time to fully comprehend
how much better in every way it was
to crowd the swine by full feeding from
birth, so that they would reach 300
pounds weight when year old. When
they came to realize the advantages
of the earlier maturing system, old
time methods were abandoned, and
now very few hogs are kept till they
reach 400 pounds. Those that weigh
from 250 to 800 pounds sell as readily
and at as good prices as those weighing
more, and these weights may be made
by the time the hog is 10 to II months
old. This plan is in marked contrast
to that followed before, when pigs were
kept along on q light ration the first
ir,fo and h,1
weight of over 60 to IS pounds when
they were eight or ten months old. The
farmer had not then calculated the cost
of feeding as he has done since. His
idea was simply to keep The pigs until
they had reached certain size, and
then put them up to fatten. Often the
expense of this was nearly or quite
what it would have been to feed them
in such way as to reach a marketable
size at about the same age. The ques-
ton of feeding is better understood now
among farmers than it was in those
years. They now know that it takes
less food to put pound on pig two
months old than on one double that
age, and less to put weight on pic
that weighs 100 pounds than on one
that weighs 200 pounds. The younger
the animal the less food it takes to
make the same gain. Generally speak
ing the older the animal grows the
more food must be given to add to its
weight, and this continues to increase
until maturity is reached. 1t is esti-
mated that it takes from 30 to 40 per
cent. more food to make q full ration
the second year than it did the first,
and at the same time the gain is only
about two-thirds as much. Skillful
feeding must be followed in order to
grow the largest amount of meat at II
given cost, and the sooner the pig has
reached a marketable weight the better
the profit. The more thoroughly the
farmer studies the question of feeding
tn" more successful he will be, boston
