them ready for market ne from six to

from 200 to 30 pounds. In spite of
the fact that corn is, frequently de-
nounced as hog food it cannot be
denied that 1t is the best and cheapest
food that is available on Western
farms. Green feed, such as rape, clo-
yer and alfalfa, are not sufficiently
used as foods for growing hogs. These
foods not only supply nutrients that
are highly important. but they serve
to give variety to the ration, factor
that is very important and one that is
frequently overlooked. AS one writer

Time was when it was supposed that
alfalfa could be grown successfully
only in favored sections. but it has
been demonstrated that it can be
grown in helrly every State in the
country, and ii is safe to say that in
five years 1t will be considered as
standard MS hay. Where failure has
resulted in the attempt to grow alfalfa
it has been due mainly to the crop be-
Ing choked out by the weeds the
first season and failing to make a
stand. The weeds overcome the alfal-
ia, and it turns yellow and finally dies.
If the seed takes and makes small
growth, so that stand seems assured.
one may make it certain by the simple
process of moving the field two or
three times during the season.

Concentrated Foo,ln,

The real value of farm Is Its ca.
pacity to produce. 1t is really a store
house of raw materials which are man
ufactured into salable products, and
may contain mine of wealth requiring
but the labor to bring 1t to the surface.
Every pound Of plant food returned to
the soil is an investment for the future
In addition to the gain from the feed.
ing stuffs purchased there are crops
rich in nitrogen which draw upon the
atmosphere, through the agency of
minute organisms, for supplies of nitro
gen. even the roots. after the crops are
harvested, enriching the soil. The nitro
gathering plants are limited in
number, but all plants have the power
of deriving carbonic acid from the at
mosphere, and from this comes the fat
and starch. The corn plant contains
large quantities of fat and starch, but
is deficient in mineral matter, while
bran, llnseed meal. cottonseed meal and
middlings abound largely in the min
eral elements. 1t will, therefore, pay
the farmer to feed his corn and fodder
In connection with the concentrated
foods mentioned, as he is sure to gain
largely in the manure. Estimating nitro
gen at 10 cents per pound, and 100
pounds in n ton of 1000 pounds, the
value of the nitrogen is $3.50, and as
the food also contains about $3.50
worth of potash and phosphoric acid,
its real value as a fertilizer is SOB. In
addition, 1t also contains about 100
pounds of fat and 800 pounds of starch
per ton. This the farmer saves by using
1t as food, although Il portion of the
nitrogen and mineral matter is appro-
printed by the animals and sold at a
higher price in the forms of milk and
meat.-Philadelpha Record.

IMMENSE SALE
VIRGINIA BONDS
More than Half a Million Have
Been Transferred Since the
First of January.

Virginia bonds have recently been
changing hands like hot cakes.
Since the first of the year the Second
Auditor has recorded the transfer of not
less than $4,000 worth of Century and
Riddleberger bonds Now, there is a good
reason back Of all this, it is said. The
time has come for the listing of prop
erty. If a. man has $4,000 in bank he IS
taxed on the amount at the rate of sl.so
on each $780, But if that amount is in
vested in January in Virginia bonds he
is not taxed anything He may sell the
bonds the latter part of February. He
may sell them at what he gave for them.
If so, he is the gamer of Sl.S0 for every
500 he has If he sells them at a loss
Of Il quarter of a cent, he is still the
gamer in the long run. AS soon as the
menace of the tax collector is past, the
money can be taken out of bonds and
put in something else which yields more
than per cent. per annunl.

has suddenly changed. AS DR.. Eaton
himself says in his last issue: rms
modifies the previous statements. Con-
tinuing he says: I'VE are unwilling to
believe that any trustee made any such
statement: but the vindlcauon OF the
