experiments IN SWSue eeubuSs
In the sixth annual report of the Wis
:onsin Experiment Station, Professor
Henry makes the following deductions
from the results of experiments to de-
termine the effects of various foods upon
hogs:
1. For the market price or cost of
production, Indian corn is beyond all
comparisonth h cheapest single food ar
ticle for hogs. 2. Hogs will live a long
time and make a fair gain upon an ex-
elusive corn ration. 3. When kept
upon such a ration they grow quite fat.
but when yet small, have the form and
appearance of mature hogs, being
dwarfed in size. 4. When kept upon
corn ration, with or without ashes, if
keptin the pen, hogs seem satisfied; af-
ter eating they lie down in apparent
comfort to await the next meal. ). The
carcass of the hog O. corn ration con-
tains more fat and less waterthan dOesthe
carcass of the hog OF mixed ration. s.
The carcass of the hog on corn ration
may contain a quarter less
muscle or lean meat than that on mixed
ration. Z. Hogs on corn ration nave
less blood in their bodies than those on
mixed ration. 8. The liver of hogs on
orn ration weighs less than that of the
hogs on mixed ration. 3. The kidneys
of hogs on corn ration are smaller than
those of hogs on mixed ration. IL. The
skeleton of the !hcg on corn ration is
lighter than that of the hog on mixed
ration. IL. The hide of the hog on
corn ration weighs less than that of the
b og on mixed ration. II. The hair of
the hog on corn ration may be less than
that of the hog on mixed ration. IL.
The bones of the hog on corr ration
nave much less strength than those of
the bog on mixed ration. II. Hogs
living OIL corn meal, water and salt. did
not seem to have their bones strength
ened by feeding we'll water. instead of
rain water. Is. Hogs living on corr
meal, salt, and rain water, had their
bones doubled in strength by feeding
hard wood ashes, and still further
strengthened by feeding ground bone.
wood ashes had the ash material of
their bones about double in amount.
ground bones giving better results than
wood shes. IT, Hogs living on corn
meal, salt, and water, when fed ground
bone or ashes. drank more water, con
sumed more food, and made much
heavier gains than those not getting
bone or ashes. IL. There was no in
crease of muscle with the hogs on corr
ration getting ground bone or hard
wood ashes, over those on the same
feed gettingno ground bone or ashes. !
-. While the body of the hog, perfect
or imperfect, is the result of Inheritance, /
it can be greatly modified by the food
given. !

THE DAIRY,
Milk Records withOutsGratl

1t is often asserted that the large
quantities of milk produced by thor
.oughbreds of milking strains are due
rather to good feeding than to the breed.
1t is true that good breeders are gener
ally good feeders as we'll. 1t pays them
to be. The advantage of a good milking
strain consists in the fact that 1t Will con-
sumo q full ration and make the best
possible use of it. This is the way by
which the possibilities of mixers are
cultivated and increased. But when the
milking trait is fully established, COWS
which are naturally good mixers will
do more with poor ratiOns than will
animals less carefully bred. Without
any grain. some COW bred by Smith &
Powell of Syracuse, n. Y. gave records
varying from $4,000 and II. 0oa pounds of
milk up to upward of l5.0go pounds IN

PuniShiny His Own Folly.

1t was at the time of the reaction that
set in after the grand rush to Cedar
Creek in Montana a good many years
ago. A gentleman was travelling along
the road in a light wagon when he over
took a German with a heavy pack on
his back, consisting of blankets, pro-
visions. etc.
Put your pack in the wagon and get
in and ride" said the driver.
The old German shook Lis head by
way of refusal.
why won't you ride in preference to
walking and carrying that heavy load?'
asked the gentleman.
No, by Jimmy, 1 Won't ride" said the
German. Il is going to learn one tam

THE


Csre In Raising Poultry.
J. NJ. Rice, of Christian County, Mo-.
contributes the following to tho Prdc-
teal Farmer:
Most farmers read the poultry journals
or articles on poultry in our farm papers
with a great many mental reservations.
especially when the question of profit is
treated. As q general rule the condi-
tions as to market are not 30 favorable
on the farm as it is to those who cOnsti-
tute the majority Of our poultry writer's.
oughbred stock and live close to the
best markets, devote their whole time
to the business and have the inside
as to both quality and prices. But aside
from these We judge the difference in
profits is accounted for principally in
the question of care. We often hear it
said if We only got the prices" of some
supposed favored locality then We
could make it pay largely" But they
forget that generally where large prices
are received, large expenses in raising
are found. Now the most pertinent
points in care at this season of the year
are the care in setting the mems and of
the chicks until they are at least a
month old. The common faults are set
ting hens where they are constantly dis
turbed by the laying ones; not examin-
ing the eggs to see if they are fertile,
resulting in a comparatively small hatch
and many Of these killed in the nest.
The little chicks receive the vermin
from the mother, weakening if not de-
stroyins many of them; they are trailed
about in the dew, caught out in many
showers, in fact the disasters to the
young chicks are legion in numbers.
Now first, the nest boxes should be so
arranged that they can be slipped from
the laying room through the PARTITION
into a quiet apartment, where nothing
but the other setting hens and the at
tendant enters. Here feed and water
with other necessaries are kept, and
only an occasional outing is ever neces-
sary, and but little attention otherwi Use
is needed until the chicks are twenty
four hours old. Fanciers have much to
say as to their food, but We take it that
there is no special secret here. If the
mother is lousy, as is apt to be the case,
if care in a very special manner has not
been given to house and fowls, put us
much kerosene, or it and lard mixed,
on the heads of the chicks as will ad-
here to the fOrefinger in two or three
clippings, as you take them from the
nest to the coop. Without the mother
is u very careful one, it is better to keep |
them confined in a coop in a dry place,
frequently moving it, and in all cases
they should be cooped during the norm
ings, nights, and IN wet and cold
weather. BY giving them at least this
much care, tn per cent of loss may be
reduced very much 1t would be profit
able as causing thought on this subject

bination at first, while analysing some
metals, and when he realized what he
had found he oon produced . metal

he aluminums before discovered are

A plaintiff sued for q GOV for which he
said he had paid, but he could bring no

Judge, after hearing the case, pro-
nounced in favor of the defendant, and
then invited the audience, including the

the Judge, looking at them, said: What
