would mean the stopping OF trains ana eonse-

road. some OF the men have spent ali the
money they possess and they have all agreed to

months is about $4,000. The road is earning
more than enough TO pay all its expenses ana
the employees expect in the event OF the
company not paying. to secure an order of the
court for receiver to apply the earnings OF the
road to the payment OF the employees, which
would prevent any tie-up. Traffic over the road
now is brisk and the stopping OF trains would
mean heavy losses.

Proper Hog Feed.
Western Farm Journal.


The Ontario experiment station fed
green feed to fattening hogs, in differing
quantities to three lots. Where too much
was fed the hogs did not fatten well. This
is well known to our readers. Hogs cannot
be fattened on grass or green feed of any
kind, as cattle, horses and sheep can.
Their digestive organs differ. This does
not argue, however, that green feed is
not beneficial to fattening hog. Every
farmer knows that the hog will eat
stalks as we'll as ears when the corn is in
the roasting ear condition, and gain very
fast. 1t has also been observed that
hogs kept on clover pasture without
gram during the summer months will
fatten more rapidly than those that have
been fed grain as part of their ration,
during the summer. We doubt if the
fuil Dement'S of clover are fully tried by
all hog rasers. We know Of good hog
raisers who make money by it, who turn
sows and pigs into clover nelds and give
them no grain during the summer. This
reduces the sows, but grain tells on them
at once when fattening time comes in the
fall. No animal will main tain good health
on heating grain diet for long time
without something OF q laxative cooling
nature. Profitable pork making requires
the use of as much clover as is practical
during the growing period. The true way
to manage the hog is first TO grow him on
growing rations, and then to fatten him on
fattening rations. The two rations are
quite different. The one should make
bone and muscle, the other should make
fat. To feed a fattening ration like corn
to growing animals is not economy. The
pigs tatten prematurely, and as the Wis
consin experiment station has proved,
their bones are not of good. strong texture.
Still much of this kind of feeding is done.
Heating feed, carbonaceous, is given in
undue proportion 90 growing pigs, and We
suppose where corn is scarce material tit
only for growth is fed in undue proportion
to fattening animals

AIR LINE ROAD TO SEATTLE.
The Latest Tacoma scheme to Secure
Connection With the Hub.


Connection With the Hub.
TACOMA, Aug. Especial lit has been sug-
gested that air line railroad be built from Pa
clic avenue and Tenth street, in this city, to
Seattle, via the Puyallup reservation and skirt
ing the Sound at various points between the
two cities.
1t is held that the distance can be reduced to
thirty miles, or twelve less than the present rail-
road route. Should the plans be consummated
the Tacoma city council will be asked for fran
chise TO tunnel Tenth street 900 feet from Cliff
avenue to Pacific avenue. Nothing definite has
been done about securing entrance into Seattle,
although Seattle capitalists are said to be inter
ested in the scheme. The principal obstacle in
the way here is the securing Of a right-of-way
through the Indian reservation.
