Our experience in feeding soaked
corn has been limited. The first to
speak of was last season, when we
were obliged to buy corn, and we
bought it already shellcd, says a CORE
spondent of SwinehCrd. Being dry
and hard as it always is during the
summer we placed it to soak from
one feed to the next, thinking it better
to feed. We fed in troughs, and the
soaking kept the pigs from kicking it
out of the troughs to any considerable
extent. We mixed and soaked oats
with the corn and received rs good re-
suits as If oats had been ground or fed
otherwise.
The pigs did not tire Of the soaked
corn, as we have seen them do on hard,
dry corn. and they would leave dry
corn any time to eat the corn that had
been soaked. They did not eat any
more greedily in this way than other
wise and seemed to relish the soaking.
We think soaked corn a good thing for
the pigs, as their power of masticatiOn
is found wanting compared to that OF
the hog. One can notice that pig
grinds dry corn with difficulty. We
were pleased with the results and shall
continue to soak corn this season. We
shall shell all the corn we soak, as we
do not think it a good idea to feed
soaked ear corn on the ground in the
dirt.
ScOurs In Young Pigs.
Pigs that have this trouble when they
first begin to eat are off feed at once
and rely on their dams for nourishment
and consequently must be reached
through their mothers milk, says j. NJ.
JamisOn in National Stockman. On the
advice of S. III. Todd | used copperas
for the trouble and found it the short
est cut of anything l ever tried. y tea
spoonful of this dissolved in 4 neceSsa-
ry amount of water, say pint, and
mixed with the soW's ration of slOp
once n day for three or four days |
have found sufficient to check the
scours Nor does th9re seem to be dan
ger of recurrence when the pigs again
begin to eat as there is when the sow
Is limited in her feed till it is checked
and then brought to full feed.
Feed of Young Boar.
Concerning the proper care of n boar
q year old and weighing 300 pounds
A. J. Lovejoy says in Breeders Ga
xette: | would, to develop the boar and
add flesh at the same time, take equal
| parts of shclled corn and oats and
have them finely ground, add about 10
per cent by weight of oil meal and mix
| all into Il thick slop (about as thick as
| 1t would pour out Of pail nicely and
| feed him twice daily Of this all that he
will eat up clean. If the above could
| be mixed with slImmilk or butter
| milk, so much the better. Give the boar
a lot of about onc-eighth Of an acre to
run in, with cool shade TO lie in dur
ing the day; also see that he has good.
pure, clean water to drink. This treat
rnent, with an occasional washing and
brushing, will get him in fine condition.

South Africa was the chief source OF
supply for mohair. having more Angora
goats than any other country. 1t Is
now stated that the Boer war has re-
duced the industry fully one-half and
that a continuation of the war will
nearly destroy it altogether. AS there
is a heavy export duty on Turkish mo-
hair American manufacturers will have

Yellow Versus White Corn.

Chemical analysis does not show that
there is any constant difference be
tween white corn and yellow corn as
to nutrients, says Professor w. A.
Henry. 1t is doubtless true that some
varieties of yellow corn are better or
more nutritious than some varieties OF
white corn, but these differences. are
not inherent because Of color.

With our present knowledge OF the
benefits derived from the clover crop
It is difficult to see how an ordinary
farmer can successfully carry on farm
ing for a long series of years without
growing clover. He needs clover to
enable him to maintain the fertility OF
the soil, and he needs It also for all
kinds of stock, for there are certain
elements In it that are absolutely nee
essary to the growth Of the young AMI
NAL: also for the maintenance OF the
mature animal and the production OF
milk, butter and cheese, says Wis
consin correspondent Of Prairie Farm
er. 1t has been proved that clover hay,
we'll saved, Is the best feed and the
most valuable crop that can be grown
on the farm. There is not an animal
raised on the farm but that will eat
other rough feed. Even the swine and
poultry relish a feed Of IT occasionally.
Another large item TO the credit of the
clover crop Is the manure made while
feeding 1t, which, If returned to the
soil in a proper manner, will still fur
ther increase the fertility Of the ground,
for that which makes the best and rich
est feed will also make the best and
richest manure. The clover crop also
adds to the fertility Of the field by ap-
propriating nitrogen from the air and
by sending down its long tap roots into
-, bril- tho llapanfl q
of fertility to the surface, where they
can be used by the ordinary farm
crops which do not send their roots
as deeply. Clover roots also pulvertze
and make porous the soil to a great
depth, increasing its capacity to take
UP and hold water in times Of abun-
dant rainfall and enabling II to give
back this water in times OF drought
by capillary action for the use OF
plants.

RUNAWAY TRAIN DISASTER.
Serious Wreck on the chill Line" a
Butte, Mont.

Butte, Mont.
BUTTE, Mont, February IA thrilling
and disastrous runaway Of a freight train
yesterday on what Is known as the "Hill
Line of that track, a branch running from
the main line to the mines above Butte The
engine and train crew, consisting OF En-
gineer John M. Harden, Fireman Joseph
Smith and Brakemen William Fielder and
Patrick Cahill, were pulling four cars load
ed with lumber and mining timbers to the
Alice mine in Walkerville. about mile
above the city. To reach the mine the road
climbs and winds along the hill for dis
lance Of about three miles.
When near the top Of the elevation the
engine began to slip. The air brakes were
applied, but failed to work. and before the
hand brakes could be reached the train had
flight down the mountain that nothing could
check 1t. The engine was reversed. but all
to no purpose. The train went so fast that
all the lumber and timbers were scattered
as by cyclone along the track Brakeman
Fielder was thrown off by a flying timber
and his head crushed to mass. Cahill was
also knocked off, but escaped with slight
injury. The engineer remained at the
throttle until the engine jumped the track
and broke loose from the flying cars. The
engine turned over and Harden was caught
under it and seriously, If not fatally, in
tured. The freight cars remained on the
track for a distance of three miles. over
which they flew, across streets and through
the residence portion Of the town like light
ming, finally jumping the track and pilng

NO CHOICE AT LINCOLN.
Little Prospect Now of the Deadlock
Being Broken.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., February 1L-Repubii-
cans caucused again last night and for four
hours continued in session in desperate
attempt to either make or ruin different
candidates in turn. Stampedes were start
ed for Meiklejohn, Thompson and Currie,
but all failed of their purpose. Nine bal
lots were taken during the caucus and but
two changes of ANY Importance resulted.
One, was the gain of three votes by A. E.
Thompson, who rose to SO. The other was
the refusal of two of the members present
to vote on any ballot on the ground that
the call for the caucus was imperative with
less than sixty-seven members.
The two were not of the anti-ThompSon
faction which walked out of the caucus on
the first night, but they were merely stand
ing out because it is useless for caucus
which is short five members of the neces-
sary number to nominate senators, as they
cannot be elected in joint session.
The nine voters who caused the shortage
in the caucus remained away last night,
SO that the gathering and action it may
have taken was not binding or valid. How
ever, interest has been drawn away from
the joint session ballots to the republican
caucus ballots. as the latter are under
stood to reflect more accurately the real
situation.
Leaving out of consideration the anti
Thompson nine, results thus far show
plainly that the end is far away. Thomp-
sons gain has strengthened his determine
ton not to yield to the small faction in his
own party which is fighting him, while the
ants themselves are irrevocably bound to
their present course, as they have burned
all bridges behind them.
This Moons vote showed several changes
from last nights caucus ballot. 1t reads:
D. p. Thompson. 80: G. 2. Meiklejohn. 81;
F. M. Currie, II; Edw. Rosewater, 10; E.
H. Hinshaw, IA; Francis Martin. 10.
Most noticeable are the gains Of Meikle-
john and Martin and the loss of Thompson.
Necessary to elect, Ga.
