much doubt if this can be done from
teedlng corn alone, as it does mo- build
up h bone and muscle sufficiently,
n it is also difficult to keep the di-
gestion good for a long period on such
an unbalanced food as corn, and no
matter how cheap corn may be, I do
no think l can afford to feed it ex-
clusively to hogs except for a short pc
Rod near the time when they are to be
marketed. l breed my sows for two
litters a year, to farrow in April and
October. and while l can make an April
pig weigh 200 pounds a little quicker
than / can IN October pig, l believe
that as a rule the price is higher in
the spring than in the fall, and the diff
ference in the profit Of the spring and
fall filters is small. l find that it takes
good and careful feeding to make a
pig at six or seven months old weigh
n pound for each day that it is old,
and no careless feeder will do it; for
10 succeed it is necessary to keep the
pig thrifty from birth to block. A
careless feeder thinks that it makes
little difference if the pigs are oyerfed
occasionally. or fed at irregular hours,
but if the digestion is once impaired it
will often result in feeding for many
days at a loss, and every time that this
is repeated makes the animal more
likely to get off it's feed again. One
rule in feeding for the best results is
to give a little less food than the ami
mails would eat, so that they will al
ways come to their feed with a good
appetite. l find that l can feed corn
heavily for a period of four or five
months il at the anne time my pigs
will eat some bulky or s~ucculeat food.
Bran is excellent, and when l cannot
get a cheaper food l always Use it; but
to make it paIatable and to get them 10
cat enough of it, l make a Stop OF it.
and use a quart of old process oil mea!

handful of salt. This slOp is fed about

broken loose from the banks at eithe-
end. There were thousand DIS of Sunday
sightseers in the free parks and upon

beauty of the crystalline structure.

saw the great mass as it was moved by
the swift current of the river, and hun
dreds shouted warning to those on the
bridge. ~
Some of these venturesome persons
had only gone short distance from tlic

found safety, but further out toward

shore the great bridge was loosered,
from its fastenings. Then it'becamesa
race for life, but the youngsters, amid
wild Shouts finally reached the shore.
1t was then seen that all except three:
persons had reached places of safety.
