According to experiments at the
Wisconsin experiment station and
elsewhere it has been found that about
five pounds of skim milk are equiva-
lent in feeding value to one pound Of
corn meal. Buttermilk which is not
watered is at the same feeding value
for pigs as skim milk. 1t has also been
proved from an average of many ex-
periments that pigs weighing about
125 pounds require an equivalent of
4s pounds of grain per day. For pigs
of greater weight it is found that
those weighing from $50 to 200 pounds
require an equivalent of So pounds of
grain per day; those weighing from
200 to $50 pounds require Sc pounds,
and those weighing from $50 to $50
pounds require rs pounds.

The bugle sounds. What scene of

Every man has grit himself with an
ammunition pouch, and the guns

ports are opened, the guns are swung
round and pointed over the sides. The
hoists for shell communicating with
the magazines are opened, the torpe-

utes from the sound of the bugle, the
ship is ready to speak in tones of
thunder to an enemy.
Ihave said that with a new crew
everything was ready for action in
about four minutes, but in well drill
ed ship the broadside could be fired in
less than two minutes from the last
note of the bugle's warning, and in
time of war everything would be in
such a state of readiness that the or

A vanished floor is the frequent
resource of those who cannot afford
to keep waxed floors polished. 1t is
satisfac tory unless it is stepped on
No varnish is made that will not in
time crack off under the impress Of
the nails in the average shoe or boot
of the day. If vanished floors are
covered where the footballs Of the
household come, they will present a
fairly good appearance for some time
but it is usually necessary to renew the
varnish once a year. An oiled floor
is the best for a kitchen. Such floor
should not be scrubbed, but swept and
cleaned with Kerosene st least once
a week. Once in every two or three
months, according to the wear, the
oiled floor should be cleaned and rub
with polish made of two parts oil,
raw, one part Of turpentine and one
part OF alcohol. Sometimes, for econ
omy, the alcohol is omitted.

| President Mckinley finds it difficult
to repress smile when some promi
nent caller begins to tell him the rea
sons, the same old reasons that he has
| heard thousand times, why the U. S.
! should not take the Philippines. The
president never contradicts them. On
the contrary, he expresses the heart
lest agreement with number of these
! reasons. After his anti expansion
callers have exhausted their reasons
and arguments, the president usually
says something like this: t'Some of
your reasons are excellent, but there
is one glazing weakness in your po
sition; you do not provide a satisfac-
tory way in which the Philippines may
be disposed of. Everybody admits
t hat we could not, with justice, not to
mention humanity, turn the island
over to Spain again; the natives are
in no condition to maintain an indie
pendent government. Now, if the
United States doesn't take control of
them, please give me your opinion of
what ought to be done with them,
bearing in mind that to attempt to
transfer them to any European nation
other than Spain, which is out of the
the question, would almost Ger tainly
precipitate great war" Up to this
time none of the anti expansionists
have suggested satisfactory way for
US to escape the responsibility of Phil
ippine control, and only few of them
have made the attempt.
