Corn Valuable for Fattening.

Corn has always been the staple
grain food for hogs and is the best
and cheapest for finishing OFF, to
make the animals ready for butcher
ing. 1t makes the meat very firm,
gives it fine flavor and makes bet
ter lard than can be obtained from
any other food. 1t is strictly fatten-
ing food, however, and is not the best
grain for young animals or for breed
ing stock. When young animals have
an abundant range with a good sup
ply of heterogeneous foods like alfalfa,
clover, vetches and COW peas, corn
makes valuable addition to the ra-
ton, but should not be given in ex-
cess, and will usually be found more
profitable II mixed with shorts, bran,
or some other feed-Farmers Review.

cling to him like vine around a rotten

for the following reasons: FIRST, we
have never demanded the cesslon ior
our exclusive use Of any port IN Chi-

second, we have never claimed any
particular field OF political or materI-
al operation, and we have never rec
ognized the right Of any other nation
to claim such spheres; :hird, we are arr,
the first power to take steps that VIII
limit one of the principal objects OF
these spheres-the control OF trade
therein-and insist that the other
powers will respect the treaty rights
of the open door, or freedom oil trade
throughout all China; fourth, we are
hence the only country that stands
unreservedly for the integrity oil the
empire, for if we should consent to
actual delimitation of spheres and TO
the lapsing of treaty rights, China
would be speedily DIVIDED among the
great powers Of Europe and Japan
and, fifth, by possession of the Phil
