Fattening Pigs.

On the experimental farm at Ottawa
test has been made, the results of
which are rather feasible and are worth
noting. In feeding twenty-four swine
in six lots of four each it was found
there was no additional profit from the
steaming Of feed or the feeding Of it
warm. The pigs fed upon steamed and
warmed feed gained in weight more
rapidly than the others, which received
similar diet fed raw and cold, but the
former consumed 30 much more food
than the latter that there was no extra
profit. Another point brought out was
that the largest returns for the feed con-
sumed were realized when the pigs
weighed from 80 to 100 pounds, live
weight. During the feeding period Of
six months the swine were fed upon
mixture of ground rye, barley and peas.
The following table shows the quantities
consumed during each month for every
pound Of increase in live weight:
Pounds. Pounds.
First month. .......33l Fourth month. =. SD
Second month. 1907 Fifth month. Gas
Third month. .... .4.04 Sixth month. .... .6.93
This shows the lowest cost Of produc-
ton was during the second month of the
feeding period. Every pound ofincreased
five weight during the third month cost
81 per cent. more than during the second
month, and the increased cost during
each of the three following months over
the cost during the second month were
Sc, 10 and 125per centages, respectively.

viii scarcely be ono dress, except the
most rigid tailor gown or mourning
robe, that will not have more or less

favorites, as they always are when on

such as have iridescent effects and tiny
dots or other figures scattered over the
surface, are also in good demand for
home and party dresses, and will be
largely employed trimming millinery.
Sash ribbons, mostly black, will be worn
with gowns of all colors, even with
