The local boomers of the third fed
eral judicial district are sorely per-
picked over the action of the sub
committee of the house judiciary COM
mittee in ignoring the bill for the new
district and reporting what is feared
will be offered as q substitute measure,
a bill creating third circuit Judge.
The Third district movement con-
templates an additional district judge
for the central belt of counties, with
courts located at Scranton, Harrisburg
and Williamsport, and headquarters in
this city. The purpose was to relieve
the congested Western district court:
to save the litigants and attorneys from
the contemplated territory of the new
district from the expense and trouble
of travelling to Pittsburg, and 10 save,
also, the vast expense of railroad fare
for Jurors, prisoners, court officers and
attaches, over the wide territory, now
embraced in this district.
NEW DISTRICT NEEDED.
The operations Of the new bankrupt
cy bill makes the need of the new dis
trict almost imperative, but in the face
of this the congressional committee
reports an unasked for bill for Third
district judge to have his headquar-
ters, presumably, in Newark or some
other Jersey town within the limits of
the district now cared for by Judge
Acheson, of Pittsburg, and Judge Dali
las. of Philadelphia.
1t may be that the bill for the new
district has not been pigeon holed per-
manently but only that it is kept in
the background until the measure for
the new circuit Judge has been passed.
There are good grounds however for
fearing the worst.
When Judge Archibald was ir Wash
ington last March he met Congressman
Parker, of Newark a member of the
sub-judiciary committee. who was one
of the members who listened to the
arguments of the new district boomers
the previous fall.

PIGS on PASTURE.
Important Extracts from the Annual
Report OF the oklahoma Elk
pertinent station.

April 27, 1899, eight pigs were diyid-
ed into two lots, one weighing $50
pounds, the other 270 pounds. They
were placed in alfalfa plats of about
one-half acre each. one lot receiving no
other food, the other full feed of Kafir
meal or shelled corn.
During five weeks the pigs with no
food but alfalfa made gain OF 6l pounds.
or 1925 pounds each. For next three
weeks, TO June %. they gained only
seven pounds, less than two pounds
each. While there was good stand
OF alfalfa and the season was favor
able for its growth, the four pigs over
aging about so pounds, each sept II
we'll eaten of.
The four pigs full fed grain with the
alfalfa gained 100 pounds in five weeks.
or practically so pounds each in IS days.
In next three weeks they gained 1875
pounds, or nearly one and one-half
pounds per day.
With this last was sow with litter
of pigs. She gained 81 pounds in first
five weeks, when she was removed, her
five pigs gained 146 pounds in first five
weeks and 96 pounds in next three
weeks. A young boar IN same lot
gained 46 pounds in 26 days and 20
pounds in next three weeks.
There was fed TO all the pigs in this
plat 1858 pounds corn and Kafir. They
made total gain in eight weeks of 764
pounds, using only 2.21 pounds grain
4. \. If,l Ga -, oh n
of gain. Counting the small pigs with
the others the grain eaten was less
than three pounds per day each.
Obviously the grain feeding was
profitable. Possible equal or greater
profit might have resulted IL only par
tial feed of grain had been given. The
plat pasturing the pigs with grain feed
carried at least one-half more stock
than the other, but alfalfa remained
green and fresh.
Six young brood sows, with pigs, were
kept during same period on n small
native grass pasture with access to
very small quantity OF the droppings
and waste from feeding the work
teams. They gained so pounds in five
weeks and 90 pounds in next three
weeks. The sow which had been full
fed grain on alfalfa pasture during
May was put in this pasture June /
and lost II pounds in three weeks. This
trial illustrates the fact that our ma
tive grasses will enable pigs TO make
some gain during the early part of the
season. They become less palatable as
the season advances.

DISEASES OF CORN.
They Are Not Only More Numerous
But Also More Destructive Than
il Generally Supposed.

The corn plant is subject to rust that
Is similar TO the red rust that affects
wheat and oats. Usually its presence
may be noted about the middle of sum-
mer, by the appearance of blotches on
the leaf of the plant. These blotches
are dust-like, and contain the spores of
the disease. Near the end OF the sum-
mer the blotches become blackish. For
tunately the disease does not attack
corn until the plant has arrived at
stage OF growth when il will not suffer
as much injury as it would il ii were at
tackled in the earlier stages. 1t has
never been regarded as economically inn
portant, yet healthy plant is always
better than diseased one.
Prof. Burrell's bacterial disease OF
corn is a more serious matter. 1t causes
a dwarfed condition OF young plants on
areas OF few yards to an acre or more
and more usually than otherwise upon
the richest soil of the field. The plants
that are attacked are sickly in appear
ancc, being more yellow than healthy
plant. Especially is this the appearance
of the lower leaves. The lower and old
er roots are badly affected as is also the
lowest portion of the stalk which often
dies. On the surface of these diseased
stalks may be found spots that are of a
brownish color and are corroded. After
the middle of the summer the sheath
leaves Of the stalk will be found TO be
spotted on the outside. But on the in
side they are much more affected.
Sometimes the ears become diseased.
In bad cases everything connected with
the ear, husks, cob. kernel and silk are
reduced TO n condition that may be
called nothingness, and such ears often
become moldy through and through,
the fungus being very white. The juices
the ear, husks, cob, kernel and silk, are
shown by the microscope to be alive
with bacteria. 1t was at one time
thought that cattle feeding upon such
diseased corn would be poisoned, but,
like smut, IL has more recently been
shown to be harmless.
Like smut in wheat the remedy for
the disease Is probably rotation, though
we are not prepared to say just what
the rotation should be. However, IL tho
disease is bad on any part of the farm.
IL would prove profitable 10 experiment
