the same kind, only to throw 1t aside
soon after. II the first could have

benefits to be derived from these neigh

PUMPKINS FOR HOGS.
Estimates an to Their Value BASED on
Experiments Conducted at the
OREGON Station.

We did not think pumpkins as valu- '
able for feeding to hogs as we did to
cattle, but when they were plenty the
hogs had some every day, for we could
not keep them late in the winter. We
never cooked them unless TO throw In a
few when boiling small potatoes or
other roots for the hogs, as we thought
them too watery when boiled, and they
seemed 10 be relished better when given
raw. We notice in bulletin sent out
by the Oregon Experiment station
that they tested pumpkins for hogs
weighing 14o to 200 pounds each for
four periods of IA days each. The
pumpkins were cooked with shorts.
For the first two weeks it took 15.45
pounds of pumpkins aud 2.l2 pounds of
shorts to make pound of gain. The
next two weeks it took 14.95 pounds
of pumpkins and Is pounds of shorts.
In the third period 14.39 pounds of the
pumpkin and 1.79 pounds shorts, and
for the last two weeks 14.46 pounds of
pumpkins and 2.54 pounds OF shorts.
The average gain for each hog during
the whole time was about ia pounds
per day, and counting pumpkins at
$3.50 a ton and shorts at SIP the cost
per pound of gain was 20 cents. This
may have been cheap enough, but we
think il could have been made cheaper
upon raw pumpkins, and by using a lit
tie more shorts, or perhaps mixture
of equal parts of cornmeaj az5 shorts.
After hog weighs 200 pounds alive we
are not afraid to give him as much corn
meal as he win eat until we get him ia.
enough to kill They tried to increase
the amount of pumpkin and reduce the
amount of shorts, but the pigs object
ed, and, as will be seen above, they had
to increase the proportion OF shorts
We never tested pumpkins for sheer
feeding, but have no doubt they would
work excellently well. We never re
moved the seeds when feeding them
and never saw that they were doing any
injury to either cattle or hogs-Amer

FACTS ABOUT ROADS
Authentic Figures showing What ft
Costs to haul Produce IN the
United states.


"The condition of roads In the United
States, taken as q whole, can most
clearly be shown in figures. If we can
make inquiries of a hundred farmers,
in as many localities, as to how long ii
takes each Of them 10 haul load OF
crops to town, how far he hauls it and
what his time and that of his team are
worth, we can readily ascertain what
il costs on an average to market load
of crops" says Otto DOrner, chairman
of the highway improvement commit
tee of the League of American Wheel
men.
IF the number of these inquiries be !
sufficiently increased and extended /
over the entire country the result will
pretty nearly show what ii costs on
an average in the whole United States
10 haul load of crops to market. If
with each inquiry we also ascertain
the weight of the load we can figure
out how much il costs per 100 pounds,
or per ton, to market all these crops,
and if the inquiry also include the num-
Der of miles comprising each haul we
oan easily figure the cost of hauling
these crops per ton per mile. This
, gives a unit which can be compared
with the same unit, similarly obtained,
by similar inquiries made in other
countries.
IAN inquiry of this kind was made
In November, 1898, by the United States
department of agriculture, through its
Office of road inquiry. Ten thousand
circulars were sent out to farmers in
all parts OF the United States asking
for information in these various partic-
ulars Replies were received from over
1,200 counties, distributed throughout
the United States, and the results were
carefully compiled. The weight of loads
hauled varied between IN average OF
a,4oo pounds In the prairie states and
IN average of 1897 pounds in the cot
ton states, the average weight of farm
loads for the whole country being 200:
pounds, or practically ton The av

A mess of green bones at least twice
a week will always prove beneficial, as
they provide lime for the shells and
serve as a change. Some do not believe
in feeding grain at all in the summer
season, preferring to allow the hens to
work. A pound of green bone cut with
o bone cutter, twice or three times a
week, given to a dozen hens at night
is better than feeding grain, as the hens
nearly always come UP with full crops
when they are on the range. When in
confinement In late fall or winter the
green bone will continue to be of val
liable assistance.-Farm and Fireside.

The land that was devoted to potatoes
this year should be seeded to rye, lined
in the spring and corn grown on the
same land next year. Such a plan gives
the land two weddings and cleans it
thoroughly. 1t. also an advantage not
to grow potatoes ON the same land
oftener than one year in four as q pre-
caution against disease. Rye should
cover all land that is plowed in the
fall, as ii prevents loss of fertility, and
when turned under in spring It will ado
fertilizing material to the soil, the lime
being used to neutralize any acidity
that may exist.
