the New Britain man, supposing that
the stranger knew of the danger that

note OF warning until the young man
placed one foot on the third rail,
when. realizing instantly what had
occurred, he shouted to the drummer

the shout referred and thinking that
it must have alluded to an approach

so placed his foot on another of the

stepped quickly over unharmed,

found that the leather sole was burned
where it came in contact with the 1--we

SON. Food. for rork-M.lin..

tion experiments were made: Q) To
determine the adaptability of differ
ent crops in a rotation for hogs; (2)
to determine the cost Of rearing ten
month pigs on food gathered by them
selves and grown on soil of known
fertility; (3) to ascertain a system of
rearing pigs for pork with a minimum
quantity Of corn. The foods used were
rye pasture, red clover pasture, sorg-
peanuts. alfalfa pasture. oat pasture,
cowpeas pasture and shelled corn. A
practical conclusion of the three OBJ
jects Of the experiment appears to be
attained.
!. Red clover, sorghum and peanuts
We're the best adapted foods for ro-
tatfon. They are cheap and easy to
produce, and their seasons of matur-
ity are in convenient order for pigs
TO consume them. Roofing for the
peanuts was too slight to injure the
soil. There is no necessity for root
crops for feeding with these foods.
Sweet potatoes were unequal to the
peanuts in palatability and fat and
flesh formers. By this system of rear
ing and fattening pigs the manure re-
mains scattered OYER the soil from
which the foods were eaten that pro-
duced It, This together with the fact
mat clover and peanuts are soil i'm
proVers is great advantage.
2. The cost to produce pound OF
pork with pig from birth to 10
months Of age on red clover, sorghum
and peanuts, and 6 3-5 bushels of
corn, and grown on soil that would
produce 25 bushels of corn per acre,
was 1H cents.
3. The rotation OF red clover, sorg-
hum and peanuts is system that re-
quired 3-5 bushels Of corn to pro-
duce hog Weighing 243 pounds at
10 months old. Less corn could have
been fed in farm practice by keeping
the pigs two weeks longer on peanuts
in December, and feeding corn only
while the ground was frozen. Two
weeks feeding on corn would have
been sufficient to harden the pigs for
slaughter.
Remarks on the Experiment.-The
gain on corn was little less than on
peanuts though the corn was fed less
than half the time the peanuts were
fed. The increase while feeding on
corn exclusively is not quite up to the
usual gains made while feeding on
that food. There is no room for doubt
that cooked meal would have been
better for this short period. The
weight Of the pigs September 21, at
the age Of months and IS days, Is
less than it would be in farm prac-
tice, because they had an insuficiency
OF food when the clover was drying up
between July and July 20. With
crimson clover for winter grazing the
brood sow can be kept on green food
throughout the year with but very lit
tie grain. The pigs were required to
Craze the clover close, and to eat
sorghum clean so that an estimate
could be made OF the area used of each
crop. Sorghum could have been plant
ed ten days earlier, and that would
have relieved the pigs from clover that
much sooner. This would have caused
them to gain more during that time.
The peanuts were ready for the pigs
August Is. within about fifteen days
after beginning the feeding Of sorg-
hum, but they were not put on pea
nuts until thirty-six days thereafter
for reasons before stated.
On better soil than that used in the
experiment less area would have been
used of each crop, and If lime had heen
