Experiments Made in
Feeding Hogs.
PRACTICAL PORK-PRODUCING
Prof, T. Hunt of the Illinois College
Farm Gives a Summary Of
Results Obtained.

The following summary Of results, as
obtained ty Prof T. Hunt of the Illinois
College farm in his experiments IN feed
ing hogs, will be of interest to those en-
gagged in practical producing:
|. 1t required 1873 pounds Of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork when
fed with cornmeal, ratio one and one
seventh. to fattening hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be fed to fat
teiing hogs unless it was waste product
which could not be otherwise utilized.
3 1t required on an average 5 pounds
of shelled corn to produce one pound OF
pork during an average period OF four
wef ks, or one bushel produced 1875
pounds.
A. 1t required 4 pounds Of cornmeal
TO produce one pound of pork, or one
bushel of corn made into meal and fed
will produce 1915 pounds of pork.
). When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed fatten-
ing hogs.
Is. 1t required rs pounds or one-fourth
bushel Of ground oats 10 produce one
pound of pork when fed with equal
parts by weight OF cornmeal.
7. One bushel Of cornmeal is worth
nearly three bushels of oats az food for
fattening hogs.
g. Corn-fed pigs gained As pounds per
week, and ate about q pounds of corn
per 100 pounds Of live weight.
9. Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at % cents per
bushel, for less than 3 cents per pound.
10. An insufficient food supply f,r two
weeks caused very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
II. Indian corn is the most economical
pork-producing material during the win
ter months in regions where extensively
grown.

At Olympia Judge Robinson of the
Superior Court held in q condemnation
proceeding that the Northern Pacific
Railway Company has no power to con.
denim private property for a spur or
branch line. The question is new one,
and will be carried to the Supreme Court
Enless an agreement is reached for the
purchase of the property involved. The
proceeding was instituted by the com
pany for the purpose of acquiring a right
OF way over the property of Van Tine
and Fenton at Tenino, so as to enable it
to extend a branch line to the Long
stone quarry, eighty feet distant from
the main track. Van Tine and Fenton
are opposed to the construction of the
spur, as it would afford a rival of theirs
in the stone business shipping facilities.
The court decides that when the North
ern Pacific Company completed its line
to Puget Sound it exhausted its power
under the act of Congress chartering it
to appropriate property by eminent do
main proceedings, and that the State
condemnation statute of 1890 confers no
power upon railroad companies whose
roads are wholly constructed between
their termini.

Not Marry" She said: This world
would not be what it is to-day were it
not for the work of unmarried women
who have gone into hospitals and pris-
ons and among disease and sorrow and
suffering, laboring for love with the
spirit Of Christ Every woman's heart
thrills when she calls the roll: Harriet
Martineau, the great pioneer of the
higher education of women, leaving be-
hind her literature of honor, morality,
high ethics; Sarah Martin, who came
before Elizabeth Fry in prison work;
Florence Nightingale, the pioneer of

"7here's something behind it,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of : medi.
cine trying to prove that they be.
lieve in it. "There must be some.
thing back of it,"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back Of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for 25 years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard Of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard Of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made
when DR.. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BI-TERs; but it is presumed
that ut chat time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it

almost anything but Buters, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tions of similar character. The name Bitters
