feed to the stock grower is not to b.
measured by its market value. but by
the thrift and growth that is made
with it. Corn meal is a grand feed for
fattening pigs, but a very poor feed
for growing pigs. 1t lacks bulk and
can be improved by the addition of
wheat bran or chaffed clover hay. Prof
Henry in his most valuable book on
Feeds and Feeding refers to Stew
arts experience, which shows that pips
averaging Is pounds each getting corn
meal gained ITO pounds each in 12O
days, while those having the cut clover
hay mixed with their meal gained 143
pounds. or 80 per cent more. Because
corn meal is our best fattcning fo,l
does not argue that it is an economical
feed for growing shoats or brood sows.
1t is not a balanced ration, and is to,
concentrated. 1t needs the addition of
some such distender as wheat bran or
chaffed clover for dry feed, which can
be used in winter to advantage. But
as soon as grass or clover or any other
green feed is available it is cheaper and
better for health to let shoats and sows
supplement the meal or corn with
pasture.
The green feed is not only cheaper
put Is better corrective than the dry
feeds. Feeders in Illinois have learned
from the feeding trials by Prof Nor
row at the Illinois station that pigs
given full feed of corn with no grass
required G29 pounds of corn for 100
pounds of gain, while pigs on grass.
with a half feed of corn, required only
433 pounds of corn. But this does not
tell all the gains made by the combina-
ton Of grass with corn, nor can all the
benefits be fully stated. If we had the
record of losses from disease of pigs
grown on grain alone in bare lots IN
the entire state of Illinois to compare
with the record of all the pigs in the
state grown on grass and clover lots
with grain We would have an addition
al ana more forcible argument against
the false economy of trying to grow
hogs on corn alone"

WHY SHE is A HERMIT.
sfelodramatic Story of the Life OF a
Kentucky Woman.

If the story of Polly Blake, the wom-

miles from Bardstown, Ky, were writ
ten ND as fiction the verdict would be
that it was improper and melodramatic.
In 1885 Polly Andrews was engaged
to a young farmer named Stephen Let
ton. During the summer a stranger of
the name of Thomas Blake made his
appearance on the scene and cut young
Lection out of Polly's affections. Let
ton did not seem to mind his jil.ing and
remained a warm friend of the Blakes
after Pollys marriage. About year
later both men started on a journey to-
gether to what is now known as West
Virginia. Before the men separated
Lection borrowed money from Blake
and a day later Blake left the house of
the drOver where they had both spent
some time. The night following Blake'S
departure the drovers house was en-
tered. robbed of ST 800 and the inmates
murdered. The assassin then set fire

DERvISHES WERE PUT TO ROUI
Brilliant Attack of AngIO-Egyptian
Forces Under Kitchener

Cairo, April lO.-The Anglo Egyptian
forces under General Sir Kitchener at
tackled the Dervish position yesterday and
rushed Mahmoud's zaraba, the center of
his Notifications, without check. The at
tack was entirely successful, as the Derry
ishes lost heavily.
The Sirdar's force numbered 10000 men
with "a guns, under Colonel Long. and II
MaXims. The enemy left Shendy with
10000 men, The enemy was at first prac-
tically concealed under ground in a strong
zaraba. After an hour of heavy lombard
ment the brigades were formed up and
carried the position at the point of the
bayOnet under a tremendous fire from the
enemy. The zaraba was torn away, but
the enemy obstinatey chung to the
trenches and were bayoneted in them.
During the whole admirable bOmbardment
by Colonel Long not a single Dervish was
visible. Alahmoud was captured by the
Tenth Soudanese battalion. He was I'M
derground the whole time his men were
fighting. Osman Digna fled as usual. The
enemys guns, baggage, animals and
standards were captured. Colonel Murray
had his horse shot under him and was
wounded in the arm. The enemy certain
ly behaved with great bravery. Bashardi
Redi fell at the head of his men, The au-
thorities call the battle the most brilliant
of the Soudan.
