In summing up the different
values OF food for swine the director
of the Montana agricultural expert
ment station says:
BY a combination of grain and
leeuminous pastures pigs can he
grown t. a weight Of $50 pounds
at cost of &c pound. Alfalfa,
clover, peas, wheat and barley make
he best of pig feed. Alfalfa or
clover pasture, with little grain
in Summer, affords conditions for
the cheapest growth and the great
est profit.
Pigs fed on barley or barley and
wheat at present market prices will
pay for all food consumed when
pork is BIC pound.
The pea combined with grain, is
well adopted to the wants of the
growing animal, and will give the
greatest gains on the smallest
amount of feed.
The lot, fed equal parts of barley
wheat and peas, made gain Of !
pound in weight for A IS pounds Of
food when the pigs were between
the weights of 117.8 and 209.8
pounds.
Pigs make the greatest gains and
at less cost of grain before they
reach 200 to 210 pounds in weight
The quality of pork produced
from wheat, barley and peas in the
various combinations used is firm
and we'll adapted for the production
of hams and bacon, the fat and
lean of the meat being well distrib-
uted.

something valuable has his product
taken away from him by all nursery

be a great stimulus for workers in

Whenever suckers are seen grow

pear trees it is pretty good evidence
that the orchard does not pay.
Peach trees, especially, should be
pruned low. A low tree is less af-
fected BY the winds, and will grow
better, and the fruit will be easier
gathered.
1t is not usually best to prune
peach trees until danger of freezing
is past in the Spring, aud then cut
off from one-third to one half of the
new growth nt wood.

afternoon for baseball turned out tobe an
excellent afternoon for the National game
and the Martinsburg team defeated the
Hagerstown team with great ease, which
is shown by the score, which resulted 2

The game was lacking OF much excite

heavy S. pound rails instead Of the u
pound rails used on the Metropolitan
Branch, ard have now.reached point
about one mile east of Dickerson S, in
Montgomery county. One hundred and
twenty-five men are employed in handling
and laying the rails. They lay on an
average OF about 200 rails day. The
road is being heavily ballasted, and all
crossings are being oiled once month to
keep down the dust. This use OF oil is
something new with the Baltimore and
Ohio people: and has SO far met with
much success, 1t is intended to oil the
roadbed entirely. as well as the crossings
in the near future. In addition to laying
the dust, the practice will also prevent the
growth of weeds and grass.
