before the fanging took place. The
result OF fanging is to drive water out

lost but not much. 1t can have no
effect on the potash and phosphoric

more readily available. Fire-fanged
manure Is worth more per ton than

The following is summary OF ex-
perimsnts made by the Illinois expert
mont station at Champaign during the
years 1888. 1889 and 1890:
In eight trials In which corn only
was fed. aside from salt and coal slack,
pigs varying In average weight from
65 TO 290 pounds and kept In pens or
small lots with grass. gaining at the
rate OF from 10. 46 70 l4.73 pounds per
bushel. So pounds shell corn. the
average gain being 1886 pounds.
The rate OF gain for food eaten In pro-
portion to weight decreased after four
TO six weeks feeding with corn only.
The corn eaten per day varied from
3. Al pounds eaten by pigs averaging
o5.58 pounds TO 1871 pounds. eaten
by pigs weighing 81 pounds. The
corn eaten per day per 100 pounds live
weight varied from l.95 pounds eaten
by pigs fed "a days and averaging 207
pounds in weight TO 5.l9 pounds
eaten by pigs averaging So. So pounds.
In one case In the fourth week OF pen
feeding two pigs gained 1921 pounds
each per day--at the rate OF 16. 81
pounds per bushel OF corn This was
the greatest gain per day and was also
the best rate OF gain in the trial.
There seemed TO be no constant rela-
ton between the weight OF the pigs or
tho season OF the year. and the food
eaten or the gains made.
In four trials. pigs fed all they
would eat OF shellcd corn with blue
grass pasturage ate 4,2i6.J pounds OF
corn and gained 90j pounds. which
was at the rate OF 1904 pounds gain
per bushel OF corn. Pigs under like
conditions, except that they were fed
but half as much corn, ate 2, 1870
pounds OF corn and gained sos pounds.
which was at the rate OF 1898 pounds
per bushel.
After periods varying from six TO
nine weeks. the pigs which had been
fed on half ration OF corn ON pasture
were given fun feed OF corn, the
others being fed as before. In three
trials lasting four or five weeks each.
the pigs which had had IA full feed OF corn
throughout ate 1.796 pounds OF corn
and gained 500 pounds which was at
the rate OF l0.ll pounds per bushel.
Those which bad been fed q half feed
OF corn in the first part OF the trials
ate 2. 075.5 pounds OF corn In the
second part gained 1929 pounds which
was at the rate OF 1875 pounds per
bushel. Those fed corn only ate /,
CAD pounds OF corn and gained PA
pounds. which was at the rate OF 7.44
pounds per bushel. In two trials pigs
fed soaked corn ate more and gained
more than those fed dry corn. In one
trial they gained more and in one less
10 proportion TO food eaten than those
fed dry corn. The differences were
not great in either case.
Two pigs in a two-acre pasture in
which three yearling steers were fed
corn. gained In "a weeks 1875 pounds.
In n second trial two pigs with like
conditions gained 23l pounds in 81
weeks. In neither case was the gain
large. In each case the pigs at the
close OF the trial were in good condi-
ton for full feeding and made large
gains when so fed.
A trial OF apple pomace as food for
pigs resulted Enthusiastically The
pomace kept well; chemical analysis
OF IL showed Mn apparently good com
position for feeding purposes but the
pigs ate very little OF the pomace.

A most Improbable plan with some
short sighted farmers Is TO milk the
COWS right up TO the calvng period.
This is due to the fact that they think
this practice is only detrimental TO the
calf; The fact is that the COW suffers
as much as the calf. and the animal
that Is MIXED right up TO the period
OF calving will inevitably be weak and
feeble. The drying OF should be- be-
gun two months before the calving
period so that cows can have a period

most The weakening OF the cows by
continuous milking makes them sub
ject 10 all the diseases incident TO caly-
ing. Milk fever is one OF the greatest
risks they run. and this generally car
ries of those that are large mixers.
and that are MIXED right up 10 the
last moment. Sudden changes in the
system are always detrimental 10 man
or beast, and sudden change in milk
ing naturally produces weakness, and
often disease.
The drying of should be begun In
time so that il may be done gradually.
The feeding should be reduced gradu-
ally until all grain food Is denied
them and nothing but timothy hay is
fed them. The milk should only be
drawn partly out OF the udders and
the very process OF leaving some in
will induce drying OFT. The quantity
will gradually be reduced. A great
many prefer 20 let tho cow dry OIL nat
urplly. trusting 10 nature TO give the
warning In time This Is a false idca.
Milking tends 10 make the glands pro-
duce more milk. and many cows will
not show any signs OF drying of unless
helped by reducing the feed and tho
milking.
Gradual drying of gives the COW a
good rost enables her TO get tone aud
strength TO her system. No sudden
change Is then effected. and the calves
ms well IA the cows will be strong aud
healthy. Taking everything into con-
sideratiop. judicious rest and gradual
reduction OF feed, and drying of. makes
the strong calf and perpetuates tho
strength and good qualities OF the COW.

The struggle was one Of the best wit

team established a new record for spares.
The ear had a total Of ffty-six. They
had to get the spares to win, as the visit
ing team had the better luck in securing
strikes and getting them when they did
the most good. The Palmas had only one
double. that is two strikes in succession
by one player, while their opponents had
four doubles and two tribes. The Palmas
averaged nearly six spares to each man.
