Feeding HOGS.

Some weeks ago | saw the question
in YOU paper, how shall | feed corn
to hogs for best results. etc, or
which is the most profitable way TO
feed corn to hogs? Now, | suppose
the questiOner wants to know how to
prepare the corn so as to get the best
results o. make the most pounds Of
pork from bushel or sixty pounds
VI corn. | marked the paper,
laid it away, but | fail to find
the paper. But to-day, March 10,
1893, / find in Farmers Review OF
Sth inst on page $50, Mr.. Hugh Greig,
Knox County, Ill, gives his tests in
Two trials, but acknowledges his in
ability to answer the question to the
letter. Now if you can spare me the
space In your valuable and lively
paper will give your inquiry some
facts that by practical tests, have
proven to be facts. Ia 1863 and after
for twenty five years, fed hogs and
demo " strated to fact that the most
profitable way to feed corn to fatten-
ing hogs is to shell aud soak, say
twelve to fortY-eight hours, ia tight
tubs that will hold all the water
corn il soaked in, as hogs want it
for drink. In making these tests
was governed by close attention and
a new set OF Fairbanks three-tOn
scales. My first test was to find the
shortest space of time that it took 4
shoat OF IS or 100 pounds to eat sixty
pounds Of Well soaked mot soured
corn after getting him onto full feed,
and found that shoat of 50 to 100
pounds would eat sixty pounds OF
good blight shelled yellow corn, well
soaked in good clean well wafer, in
just eight days. Therefore, | would
select or sort pigs or hogs, a. |
never try to farten pigs for prof z.
Hogs Of even size il possible aud put
up lots OF even say eight, sixteen,
thirty-two, forty, etc. I weigh out
sixty pounds for each hog, have it
well soaked and have hogs weighed,
then begin to iced for test, and when
the last OF that batch of corn is feed
then drive hogs into a dry yard,
without mud or water, and after two
and half hours | drive onto scale,
v eigh close, and took total, and find
gain, etc, and fad thus, when sixty
pounds Of corn j. eaten by one hog IN
eight days he is just sixteen pounds
heavier than before he ATE the sixty
pounds Of corn. But he must eat it
in eight Gays or he falls below the
sixteen pounds. These are tests

Are Farm Lands Improving in value3

The answers to the above question,
which was asked In these columns
recently, have come in pIOfusely from
all sections OF the country, and the
most of those sending answers have
taken pains to give reasons for the
views presented in their replies.
Such answers as seemed to be in
hueuced by enhancing personal ends
have not been considered. Where
anything else than purely agrlcul-
tural IN ,erests has changed values no
attention has been paid u the lnfor-
nation received. To illustrate:
Where lands have appreciated on
q count of lying within an oil or gas
bait, or the development OF mineral
products has figured in enhancing

been considered.

A summary Of the whole matter
indicates ~ that lands are advanc-

Artificial Eggs,

A man claims to have invented the
process OF making artificial eggs.
An English paper says that some
dozens have been served in the clubs,
boiled, fried, poached and scram-
bled, and the general verdict is that
it would be Impossible for anybody
TO distinguish them from real ones,
The inventor claims that his eggs are,
chemically speaking, ali exact repro
duction Of nature. The basis is corn
meal. The white is pure albumen,
and the yoke is mixture Of albu-
men aud several other elements. 1t
is said that the shell is made III two
halves, and put together so artfullY
that no one can discover the Joint.
rhey are MADE of different sizes and
colors, and can be sold fof three
pence q dozen. 1t is said that the
eggs externally look exactly like the
sort laid by hens and the contents
flop into glass as naturally aud the
yOlk and white do not mingle; and
like natural egg will beat up for
cake, etc.
1t was stated recently in an East.
