An Experiment With Pigs.

I had six pigs that were narrowed
March 18th, a cross between the Po-
land China and Chester White, says a
correspondent Of The National Stock
man. I fed SOW and pigs until they
were two months old, corn and bran
to the amount Of two dollars, with
milk to drink Then they were put on
pasture and fed little milk. June LIST
two of them were killed by accident.
I thought I could recover the loss by
feeding the remaining four as much
as had thought Of feeding to the six.
l commenced feeding understandable
wheat Fed four bushels. The hogs
had the run Of an orchard six weeks.
October list I commenced feeding some
corn. Fed until the 25th of November,
they dressed 900 pounds of meat, at
IL cents per pound making $500.
Grain consumed, is bushels at so cents
per bushel, $500; milk, $500; pasture,
8 months, S1.5O. Profit $4,000. This
taught me that it is better and cheaper
to keep a less number OF hogs and
keep them growing, than to rough
them along until one year old, then
pen them and feed as much or more
corn than they can eat, as have seen
done.
III any one cherishs doubt as to
the positive bigness of the worlds fair
he should know that the Jackson park
alone are to cost twenty
millions.

Want an Emigration Law.

BERLIN. Jan. 2O.-Several daiies de-
mand that the government prepare at
once an emigration bill to meet the
emergency created by the United
States quarantine regulations. The
Hamburg authorities say that more
than 10000 persons in Austro- Hungary,
Russia ana Germany who have paid
their money for passage to the United
States will not be accepted by the
steamship companies, and unless scrne-
thing he done to stop them many are
likely 10 be stranded in towns along
the German seaboard. The consequent
burden upon the citv's treasury would
be enormous. Danger from spread of
cholera or typhus among the Russian
and Polish Hebrews, moreover would
threaten every seaport.
