HOGS VS.. CORN.
1t Pays to Convert the Latter Into
Pork

1t Pays to Convert the Latter Into
Pork.
There is but little use of farmers
selling their corn at the prices now
being offered by the elevator man.
Hogs at $3.50 to "a per hundred,
means that If you properly feed
your hogs this corn, they will return
at least As cents per hushel for every
bushel fed, says the Farmers
Voice.
The hogs should have a good,
clean, warm place for shelter, while
fattening, and plenty of good water
to run TO. They should be fed
cooked feed as the following ex-
experiments show. The first ex-
pertinent was made in feeding five
half-blo0d Berkshire pigs of the
same litter. The experiment being
made with old corn shelled and fed
in three different forms, namely:
Fed whole; ground and made into
slop with cold water; ground and
boiled and fed cold. The result Of
this experiment was J, that FIVE
bushels Of first, whole corn, made
forty-seven andthree-fourth pounds
of pork second, fivebushels of corn
ground and made into thick slop
with cold water, made fifty eight
and one-half pounds of pork. In
each case the hogs where fed regu1
larly, and great care was taken 50
as to secure fairness of comparisons.
This is the way it looks in figures:ot
list, Az pounds Of pork produce, at
2nd, 5s1 pounds of pork produce, at
Srd, So pounds Of pork produce, at =
H3.5O. ..,...,..,,.,... ....... ...r.'... z'5O
Another experiment was made
where ten bushels Of corn on the
cob was fed on the ground and only
made 20 pounds of pork. Corn
shelled from the same amount of
ears was ground and we'll boiled.
and produced GA pounds of pork so
we are not only in favor OF feeding
everything that is raised on the
farm, but it should also be cooked
when it comes to feeding the hog
for market. Taking these two sets
of figures as the example, here are
five bushels of corn worth at the
present market quotations $l.20; fed
as per above it returns at the lowest
point, $1.66, or over 35 cents per
bushel, and at thee highest point
$3.50, or So cents per bushel for corn.
Now they are facts, and why do you
continue to haul off your corn?
Hogs are about as staple an article
as grows, and it looks, to us that
you do not take advantage of all
that lice in your way.

to exc out the feed during the dry
season, and by no means permit a
shriDkage of the flow of milk be-
cause Of lack of food. 1t cannot be
fully regained.
A most important consideration
in the ration is that of bulk. If too
bulky, the animal has to eat too
much to get sufficient nourishment
and becomes uncomfortable. IL not
bulky enough, the animal will take
in more nutritive material than it
can digest, in order to produce the
proper sense of fullness. This de-
ranges the stomach.

Mr.. Curtis writes as follows:
Remember that good care and
feed are as essential as selection
and breeding.
See that the food given to your
COWS is OF the best quality and in
the best condition for digestion.
This is very important.
Be careful that the ration fed to
your COWS has proper balance of
elements apprOximating one part of
heterogeneous food to five OF six parts
of carbonaceous. The heterogeneous
foods are also known as "albumi-
noids," and the carbonaceouE as
carbohydrates.
Mixed pasture grasses, including
clover, make q well balanced sum
mer ration: but little dry food is
relished exceedingly, and is bene-
fetal. Some of the best dairymen
not only feed hay, but cornmeal and
bran, or some other form of grain all
summer, to advantage.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
The Secret Of Miner in the TNIOn~

The Secret OF a Miner in the tAIOn~
dixie Cold Fields.
The Klondille rs responsible Tor the
connection Of a chemical compound
which promises to revolutontze mining
methods in every section where winter
puts a stop to operations every year.
The nature of tire chemica! is a Sc
cret, which the inventor will divulge to
no one. The chemical is simple and
cheap. however, and can be manufac-
tured upon the ground where the mine
is located, The discoverer win locate
several mines in tn, spring, and deyel-
op them the following sun mer and
winter. No matter how cold the atmos-
phere, it win not Interfere with the
thawing properties OF the wonderful
fluid.
The valUe of such a discovery is
readily apparent. 1t practically con
quers the Inconvenience OF cold and ex-
IRENE temperatures, and does away
with the necessity OF thawng the
ground BY the slow and tedious meth
cd OF building fires and allowing them
to thaw out the frozen earth. The in
vcntor estimates that the chemical win
melt the earth to the depth OF two
feet. Continual application Of the fluid
will allow the miners to keep continu-
Ously al their labor.
Besides using the fluid for developing
whatever mines he locates, the in
veator win take up enough material to
supply the other miners at reasonable
prices.
