TO-DAY, we enter upon a new
year. For over a quarter of a Gen.
fury, the BULLETIN has shared the
fortunes of the people, of Hardeman
County. When prosperity bright
ened our homes the BULLETIN re-
ceised its proportion; when misfor-
tune followed, the BULLETIN also
shared its part. The present own.
ers of the paper have worked for
the best interests of the people OF
Bolivar and Hardeman County
If errors have been made, they
originated in the head, not the
heart. The life of a newspaper
man is not all sunshine. No man
has ever yet pleased the public-it
is an impossibiIity. Under the cir
cumstances. we have done the best
we could; and as long as we have
control of the paper We will contin>
ue to do 80, regardless of consequent
ces. Ifyou, gentlemen of Harde-
man County, desire to make the
BULLETIN a better paper, send US
TIE news, and we will take pleasure
in publishing it.

1T has been argued that on ac'
count of existing laws, for the pro-
lection of certain classes. that the
sub~treasusy bill should lie passed.
Two wrongs never made a right.
Ours is not a paternal government,
but is government supported by
the people; hence, if we all cannot
be favored alike, it is unjust to pass
a law adding to the interest of one
by detracting from another.
Therefore, let us continue to battle
for equal rights, and cease not I'M
til we hurI the republican party
from power.

Results of Experiments at the Illinois Sta
tion at Champaign.
The following is summary of exper-
iments made by the Illinois experiment
station at Champaign during the years
1888, 'S9 and 80:
'In eight trials in which corn only
was fed, aside from salt and coal slack,
pigs varying in average weight from "a
to 200 pounds and kept in pens or small
lots without grass, gained at the rate of
from 10. 46 to 14,73 pounds per bushel,
So pounds shelled corn, the average gain
being IL. 80 pounds. The rate of grain
for food eaten, and the food eaten in
proportion to weight decreased after
four to six weeks feeding with corn
only. In four trials, pigs fed all they
would eat of shelled corn with blue
grass pasture ate 4,216.5 pounds of
corn and gained 905 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 100 pounds
of corn and gained sos pounds, which
was at the rate of 1898 pounds per
bushel. Pigs in dry lots fed shelled
corn ate 1905 pounds of corn and gained
1905 pounds, which was at the rate Of
1852 pounds per bushel. After periods
varying from six to nine weeks, the
pigs which had been fed half ration
of corn on pasture, were given a full
feed of corn, the others being fed as
before. In three trials, lasting four or
ivo he MI
full feed of corn throughout ate 1,795
pounds of corn and gained 329 pounds,
which was at the rate of 10. II pounds
per bushel. Those which have been
fed half feed of corn in the first part
of the trials ate 2,075.5 pounds of corn
in the second part and gained 425 S
pounds, which was at the rate of 1875
pounds per bushel Those fed corn
only ate 1,624.5 pounds of corn and
gained 224 pounds, which was at the
rate of 7.44 pounds per bushel In two
trials pigs fed soaked corn ate more
than those fed dry corn. In one trial
they gained more and in one less in pro-
portion to food eaten than those fed dry
corn. The differences were not great
in either case.
1.-TWO pigs in a two-acre pasture in
which three yearling steers were fed
corn gained in "a weeks 1g5 pounds. In
second trial two pigs with like condi-
tions 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 condition for full
feeding, and made large gains when
they were so fed

FARMER AND PLANTER.
HOGS FOR PROFIT.

Feeding for Home Use and Feeding for
Market Two Different Affairs
When the farmer is feeding for his
own meat he has no one but his own
taste and that of his family to consult,
but in feeding for market, If he expects
to realize the best price, he must sup
ply what the market demands. With
hogs there has been a considerable
change, and the farmer must breed and
feed so as to supply what Is needed as
fully as possible. Instead of hog made
extremely fat, a proportion of fat and
lean and not SO large an animal is
wanted, and sells ct a better price
pound than the fat animal, while in
nearly all cases it can be placed on the
market at less cost.
One of the principal causes of the e&-
cess of fat with hogs is the exclusive
feeding of corn. So many rely almost
entirely upon corn as food for their
hogs, not only in fattening or finishing
for market, but also in feeding for
growth, and as corn is very fattening
food, the natural consequence is car
cass with large proportion of fat The
selection; feeding and breeding have all
been to this end, and with d predisposi-
ton in this direction, and ration that
is we'll adapted to its development, d
large proportion of the hogs marketed
have contained an excess of fat.
While breeding is factor in seeuf-
ing better proportioned carcass, the
feeding is still more important. By
supplying a good variety and using such
materials as are well adapted to a
development of lean as well as fat
meat, such as alfalfa, peas, barley,
sugar beets, squash or other flesh
forming seeds, better animal can be
secured, and while ordinarily corn is
one of the cheapest hog feeds, other
materials can be used in connection
with it that will still help to reduce the
cost:
Especially during growth is 1t inn
portant to feed properly. Keep In a
good, thrifty condition, and not fat.
| using alfalfa steamed in winter or
green in summer, bran ship-stuff, oats,
barley or other materials to secure a
good growth of bone and muscle. You
need not discard corn entirely If you
can grow it easily, but using in connec-
ton with other materials rather than
making it an exclusive food. After an
animal has reached "a certain stage,
any gain beyond this is secured at an
additional cost. This, of course, lessons
the profit. and when the lower prices
are considered it is certainly not ad-
visable to feed beyond certain weight.
In a majority of cases hogs that are
well finished for market, weighing
from one hundred and seventy-ive to
two hundred pounds, not only sell at
the best prices, but cost less to feed
than those that average three hundred
pounds, as the additional weight is
generally largely fat and is not what
the consumer watts.-Rural World.
