About Feeding Pigs.

About Feeding Pigs.
Bulletin No. 80 of the Massachusetts,
Experiment Station gives details of
continuation of experiments in feeding
pigs. For the eighth trial six pigs OF
mixed breed were selected, w weighing
from twenty to twenty-nine
pounds each. The experiment began
Nov. z. 1887, and lasted until March
II 1888. or l24 days; the average of
the individual 1--we weight had reached
l85 pounds. Skim milk, corn and cob
meal. wheat bran and gluten meal fur
nished the fodder Ingredients of the
daily diet The corn and cob meal
took tie place of the clear cornmeal
on the 6lh OF January. The daily ration
of skim milk reached within the first
week six quarts per head. This
amount, being the limit of our home
supply, was fed daily until the close of
The experiment Skim milk and corn
meal, two ounces of the latter to one
quart of the former, constituted the
diet for about three weeks, when the
steadily increasing demand for food was
supplied by Il gradually increasing
quantity of M xlure consisting of two
weight parts of gluten meal and one
we ght part of wheat bran. On the Sd
Of January at the beginning of the third
month, the daily diet was changed; the
batter consisted thereafter of SIX quarts
Of skim milk and n mixture prepared
of four weight parts of corn and cob
meal. one weight part of gluten
meal. The quantity required of the
latter to meet the daily wants of the
animals began with forty-eight ounces
per head and rose gradually to seventy
two ounces. Our late results seem to
confirm the conclusions arrived at in
our previous experiments, namely:
l. a gradual periodic change from
arich nltrogenou5 diet to that OF
wider ratio between the digestible
heterogeneous ana heterogeneous food
constituents Of the feed is recon-
mended in the interest of good econ
Dmy.
3 The feeding effect of one and the
same diet changes with the ad-
vancing growth Of the animal on
trial.
5. The power of assimilating food
and of converting it into live weight
decreases with the progress in age.
4. 1t is not good economy to raise
pigs for the meat market to an excep-
lional nigh weight. To 90 beyond
from 175 to $50 pounds is only adj
yisable when exceptionally nigh
market prices for dressed pork can be
secured.
At this trial the cost of food to pro-
duce a pound of dressed pork was
found to be SAP cents, the manurial
value of the same food being 2.27
cents. Skim milk was valued at is
cents per gallon. -Mirror and Far

The present corn crop promises to
reach somewhere in the neighb0rhood
Of two billion bushels, and already
railroad stocks are advancing and rail
road officials looking forward to heavy
business this fall. That the railroad
companies will be benefited by the im-
mense crop goes without saying. but
whether the advantages of this viii be
equally great to the farmers remains
to be seen. In some respects this
plethora of product is demoraI;zjng
and may prove of small value to our
agricultural classes in the end. Prices
will probably rule low. and for the
large amount and the great labor re-
quired in harvesting, storing and draw
ing to market there may be small re.
turns and still smaller profits. The
manufacturer who disposes Of his wares
Mt no profit does not improve his con-
ditiOn by increasing the amount OF
goods sold. Unfortunately, farmers
usually have to sell then corn most
freely when it is lowest in price, and
unless their common practice be ma
terially mod fed we will see them this
fall parting with the bulk of their mag
niicent crop. This is for many rea-
sons to be regretted. BY holding back
the markets will not be demoralized
and there will be an opportunity to
comprehend the conditions of trade.
This fall the prudent farmer, if he can.
will fill his or BIS for next seasons feed
ing, carrying even more than he thinks
can possibly be fed. lie who stores
corn when it is cheap usually has
nothing to regret. Summer feeding
for cattle and hogs should attract far
more attention than it does. and soon
the opportunity will come to store up
the corn necessary for carrying out
this system. Thousands of farmers
will probably sell corn this fall which
they may have to replace within a year
at double price. - breeders Gazette.

Nothing aston ishes the visitor to

thing like nine to one. This is the re-
suit of a long and very fierce war; in
which the males followed and support
ed a cruel and ambitious ruler through
Undesirable hardships and su0erings.
This war reduced the whole population
to about one-siXth OF what it was
twenty years ago leaving only women
and boys,
These women are as beautiful and
fair to look upon as can be found in
any part of the world. They are Of
medium height, rather slight and 1.-THE.

Their dress is of the simplest form;
short tunic or robe not unlike skirt
falling to below the knees, and shout
