PlG-FEEDING TESTS.
Results OF Experiments at the Danish Ex-

Results OF Experiments at the Danish Ex-
pertinent Station.
The following are the results of sc
series of trials during five years, with
500 pigs in all, separated into IT'S lots,
conducted at the Danish agricultural
experiment station. Whey for pigs
has greater feeding value, pound for
pound, than turnips. Corn and skim
milk is great stuff to make pigs grow
fast and fat, but the pork is rather soft,
hence substitute barley for the corn
when the pigs weigh 125 pounds, and
the quality of the flesh, if killed at
1s5 pounds weight, will be improved,
and the shrinkage is no larger. Barley
alone gave better results than when
sunfiower seed oil cake was substituted
for part of it. One pound of barley
equaled in pork-producing power six
pounds of skim milk or II pounds of
:" hey. Young pigs weighing 33 to rs
pounds required 3a4 pounds of grain.
OF its equivalent in milk or whey TO
make one pound increase; at $50 to 200
pounds, about five pounds was needed,
and old hogs weighing over 200 pounds
consumed to 6k pounds of grain
for each pound of increase in weight.
The animals ate but slightly more in
winter than in summer, but it required
nearly half pound more grain feed
for one pound of grain in winter than
i'll summer. There was no marked diff
ference between the food required per
pound of grain in light and heavy feed
ing. Nor was there any difference
between the rate or cost of grain in
barrows Or sows-

HELPING ONE HEAVY HEART.

The Personal Satisfaction That Comes
from Cheering Single Soul
Helping an individual in time Of need
Is @ more real and positive act than
helping q whole community. To write
poem, an essay, or o volume, that
shall influence and interest thousands,
does not give the sense Of personal sat
isfaction to the writer that comes with
the consciousness of giving encourage
ment and cheer to one aching heart or
troubled soul that might have tainted
or failed but for this stimulus and aid
This truth is best appreciated by those
who have done most in the line of in
huencing multitudes. They realize that
the reflex influence of work for the
many is general and diffusire, while
the effect of close personal work for
and with the individual is immediate
and direct in the heart of both the doer
and the receives. He who is all the
tii3e doing for the many is glad to
know that he sometimes does for one
person who longed for the help that
he alone could give A good physi-
clan, whose professional skill is known
and priced on both sides of the ocean,
writes modestly, in response to CRATE
full words from one Of the patients to
whom he has lovingly ministered: "As
a physician, I believe that the sweet
est moments of my life have originated
in some wave of consciousness that my
honest efforts to salve some wound or
mitigate some anxiety or pain in q
human heart hare aroused q quick
ened sense of the great and universal
kinship in another fellow-mortal." We
may be able to influence for good the
great multitude surrounding us, but
who OF us cannot say or do that which
will soothe a personal Gear, or which
viii arouse new courage and hope, in
q single heavy HEARTS,. S. Times.

Economic Features of orcharding.

When considered in connection with
farming, trees give the advantage of the
use of overhead space that cannot be
otherwise utilized at all. Small areas in
great cities that are sold for fortunes
are used to erect structures to utmost
limits of corporate laws. Cut orchard
trees to the ground and it will be found
that they occupy as much space on the
ground as in the air. The overhead
space is brought into economic use. The
trees can make use of space and forces
in it which otherwise will avail planter
nothing. The ground while best if kept
in high state of cultivation, can be
cropped with leguminous crops, and
made runs for calves, shoats, poultry,
and the orchard itself made a wind
break to a homestead.-Americ Gar.

which I find very handy in setting

a pine board Is or 20 inches square; lay
eff a perfect square and put a brad in

across so as to find the exact center, and
drive a brad in it. File sharp, and be

In this country northwestern Ohio),
where the land is laid off by range OF
section, it is easy to run lines at right
angles to the roads. By setting the
compass so the brads will range with q
given line and by looking across the
other way you have right angle, and
by setting stakes in range you can run
as many angles as you choose.

Attributes of a Good Farmer.

The Southern Farm Gazette asserts
that no man is a good farmer who does
not at least maintain year in and year
out the average productiveness and
fertility Of his farming lands. It is
not a hard thing to do this either for
any intelligent farmer. Little better
can be expected Of an ignorant negro
tenant than to make it his jnvariable
rule to squeeze out OF the soil all that
the soil will bear, paying back nothing
in the way Of plant food for future
crops, practicing the plan of soil rob
berry as a matter Of course, but we
surely expect better things of intelli.
gent white farmers and land owners.

The Reciprocity Incident

Senator Cullom, in his letter against
Mckinley. recalls an episode in the
framing of the tariff bill bearing the
latter's name which many republic
ans appear to have forgotten. His
supporters couple his name with the
so-called policy of reciprocity. "But,"
as Senator Cullom says, the truth is
that Mckinley fought reciprocity with
all the force he had until forced to
surrender" The surrender was &C.
casioned by Secretary Blaine's dra-
matte smashing of his hat on the
table of the committeeman, empha-
sizing his declaration that the Mo
Kinley bill as framed would not
make a market for another busheI of
American grain or another pound Of
American meat" In his extreme and
narrow protectionism Mckinley was
opposed to foreign trade. but the
stronger will of Blaine forced him to
accept the reciprocity provision.-N.

must necessarily depend upon complex
conditions, and it is not often that the
one is selected that offers the least re-
sistance to traction.
The kind of material at hand, its
durability, the kind of traffic to be &C
commodated, all enter into the ques-
ton of selection.
The use of material that will insure n
permanent, smooth surface, wet or dry,
and unaffected by frosts, besides being
obtained at reasonable price, is to be
commended.
While the results given above are
approximate, as the exact tractive force
varies over the same road, probably
every day in the year, and very prob
ably no two roads are exactly the
same. yet they are fair average and
believed to be reliable for basing COM
putations.-Hiram Phillips, C. E., in

FARM AND GARDEN.
STRIKING AN AVERAGE.

TractioE on Good and Bad Roads Scien-
tifcaly Considered.
Aside from the comfort, convenience
and pleasure of good roads, their conf
mercial value in saving or increasing
the efficiency of tractive power VIII
demonstrate their utility.
Comparison of tractive power neces-
}sary to draw a given load under SIM
liar conditions will give a basis for
judging the merits of different materi-
ais for road covering.
Experiments have been made by
eminent engineers on this line, and the
results epitomized in Trautwine Engi-
neer's Book and other standard works.
The results given below were ascer-
tanned by the use of dynanometer.
The roads were practically level and Il
speed of about three-quarters miles
per hour was used in making the OBJ
servations.
The roads were newly constructed
and in fair condition.
A four-wheeled wagon, 251a-inch tire,
was used.
The weight of the lead, including
wagon, was one ton. The tractive
force is given in pounds.

miles per hour, can exert a tractive
force of 100 pounds.
From the above table we see one
horse can draw approximately three
tons on a plank road, 251a tons on cubical
blocks, one ton on packed gravel or
packed earth, one-half to one-fifth ton
on unpacked earth dry and one-third to
one-fourth ton on packed earth after
rains.
The exceedingly low tractive force on
steel rails explains the assertion often
made that it is often cheaper to haul
freight by rail from points in the Mis-
sissippi valley to the seaboard than to
deliver it from the farm to the railway
station.
This is especially true during hard
winters, when all farm products are
higher than at any other time and more
in demand.

should be used in constructing a road

New Phase OF the War Against the
American Tobacco Company.

4 contract for hfty cigaTette-making
machines, which was closed in Newark,
y. J Yesterday afternoon, marks the
openlnG Of a new phase OF the war be-
tween the American Tobacco Company
and independent tobacco dealers. The
Newark company, which controls the ma
chimes, win sell them only to anti
trust manufacturers For several months
one OF the machines has been quietly
in operation in a factory in ST. Louis.
and two or three others have been at
work I'm other places.
Little has been said about them. but
they have been such a pronounced sue
cess that there Is 10 longer any need
OF secrecy, and last night, after the
awarding Of the contract for the half
hundred machines % the Newark con-
Germ, AN agent started for ST. Louis
TO represent the company in further ne
Sotiations.
When the proposed consolidation OF in
dependent concerns is made to fight the
company. there will be a combined capt.
tai and financial working basis OF $4,000
600. The new machine, which Is des-
tined to play so important part In
the warfare, works from roll OF paper
much as does the modern printing-press.
and makes. pastes. and fills with tobacco
40 tubes per minute; or, in other words,
turns out that many complete cigarettes
per minute
II Is said that the best machine
owned by the American Tobacco Com
pany turns out only from 100 TO 80
cigarettes per minute. Heretofore the
trust has controlled those machines,
and has thus handicapped the independ-
ent manufacturers who could obtain and
use only inferior machines.
The plug-tobacco dealers will become
involved in the war now, for they are
concerned in the movement to start CT
gazette factories in opposition TO those
OF the American company, to retaliate on
the latter for interference with the
western plug-tobacco market.
The machines are not sold, but VIII
be operated under 4 royalty. BY the
end OF this year it is expected that the
number OF machines in use will be so
large as to make the royalties amount
to $4,000. 1t is likely that the introduce
ton OF the machine will result in li,i-
CATION, as the American Tobacco Com
pany will jealousy guard all the patent
rights it controls. and may attempt to
prove infrngements.
