Frozec, Wheat for Feed.

SHrge quantities of frozen wheat. ex-
periments have been conducted to de-
termine its value for cattle and swine
Aeeding, with the results given below.
"nen large swine, averaging 1856
pounds in weight at the beginning Of
the experiment and ITS pounds at its
Close were fed frozen wheat, 524
pounds were required for 100 pounds
increase live weight, while at the same
time, with a like lot of large swine,

wheat, barley and peas, were required
for the same increase in live weight.
In a second lest, feeding pigs that
averaged 81 pounds each until they
reached an average weight of 145
pounds each, 100 pounds of Increase in
i've weight were obtained from 1888
pounds OF frozen wheat. The pork
was considered excellent, much supe-
rlor to that of hogs fed on peas alone.
In both trials the frozen wheat was
ground n soaked fer twelve hours
oelore feeding. One hundred pounds
OF frozen wheat was found equal to 1911
pounds of skim milk in increasing the
hVe weight OF pigs.

the students was a funny man who was
suspected of trying to play to the gal

people with a statement to the effect
that the old town might have League
ball again next year. Said he:
II should not be at all surprised to
see a National League team here next
season. In fact it is my opinion that
there will be a major league ~organiza-
tion here. If the eight-club league
should not prove a success this season
there would, | believe, be a return of
a 10-club organization. to include
Washington. There is one thing the
major league would not do. No lease
would be given for Union park for
more than one year.. This was. in my
opinion, to make it easy to put this
city back into the major league. Every
city after having won a pennant ex-
hibits a reaction in interest, and the
attendance drops from the boom times.
This was the condition in Baltimore.

Inc economical and profitable pro-
duction OF pork requires that the feed
should be palatable, nutritious and in
expensive. No one kind of feed can
be used exclusively with profit for feed
ing pigs. breeding animals, and fatten-
ing hogs, and no one feed will con-
tlnue to be as ~palatable as a variety
OF feeds. 1t should be the object Of
every hog raiser to induce his animals
to eat as much as possible, and the
greater the variety the greater will he
the amount of feed consumed. The
cheapest and most profitable feed is
that which can be grown with little
iabor and harvested by the hogs them
selves, though it is economy to supple
ment each grazing crop with grain and
other feeds suited to the condition of
the animals.
