AT reaction of TX per cent from the
best price, it closed with net gain of
4h points. The reason for this move
ment is not plain, but inferences were
drawn that important interests have in
creased their holdings for use at the an
nSal meeting of the stockholders TO be
held next Tuesday.
Rumors were also current that it was

FOOD FOR PIGS.
SkimmiIIS and CornmeaI Give Most
Economical Results.


Farmers as we'll as creamery owners
desire to know the value OF separator
skimmilk for all feeding purposes.
The separator skhmmi!k whcn rr-
turned TO the farmers Is ordinarily sod
10y the creamery for II cents per 100
pounds i'm New York state Easing It's
estimates ON this valuation. the Cornell
station summarizes the rCsults of cN-
porimcnts i'm feelings pigs as follows:
In 1897 one pound increase OF 1--we
weight of pigs waS made with -
pounds OF corumcal and Is pounds of
skimmilk. This was the moSt cconom-
ical gain for the year.
In feeding potatoes 10 pigs during the
winter warm. dry quarters shOulu he
furnished; otherwise potatoes. whether
cooked or uncoOked. may do more harm
than good.
In 1895 the most economical gain was
made with cOrnmeal and Skimmilk
when the proportion hy weight oi corn
meal 10 skimmilk was about 50 3.
BOnemeal did not produce amy appar-
ent results.
In 1899 the variations i'm individuals
different lots. The greatest gains were
made by the smaller pigs
The most economic gains i'm lS.i9 were
made when cornmeal and skmmill
were fed in the proportion OF pound
Of cOrnmeal 90 ca pounds OF mills. one
pound increase in live weight WaS made
with 1.5 pounds OF cornmeal and lO.I
pounds Of skimmilk
MolasseS from beet sugar factory was
very unsatisfactory.
In 1900 most economical results were
obtained when ! pound of curnmenl
was fed with % pounds OF milk The
amount Of food required for one pound
gain in live weight was 2.G pounds OF
cOrnmeal and 6.S pounds OF skimmilk
Bonemeal seemed to produce beneficial
results.
In 1901 the pigs were overfed befOr,
the experiment began. Extreme care
must be exercised in feeding skimmilk
TO young pigs that the amount fed is
not too great. They should only be
fed what they Will consume quickly.
Most economic results were Secured
in 1901 where one pound OF cornmea' y
was fed with six pounds of skimmilk
and il addition a small quantity oi
bonemeal. 1t required % pounds Oi
cOrnmeal and 1873 pounds OF skimmilk
10 produce a pound of gain live
weight.
AS a result OF five years work it il
found that most economic returns are
secured with skimmilk when cornmeal
is the grain used. The proportion oi
cOrnmeal to skimmilk may be varied
without apparently affecting results
In no case should the amount of skim
milk fed be greater than the pigs can
quickly and easily consume

Mississippi Experience.

At the Mississippi station the grade
or cotton grown on thin hill land was
improved by the use OF barnyard ma
nure and commercial fertilizers. the
improvement being most marked in
the cotton from the land which had
received the barnyard manure.
Half an acre Of Evergreen hroch
corn yielded ut the rate OF Loo
pounds OF uncleaned heads per acre.
Sorghum and cowpeas grown togeth-
er for hay were sown broadcast and
in drills. Notwithstanding the two
civilizations given the drilled plats. the
crop of hay was largest from the plats
SOwn broadcast. When grown in the
proportion Of three-fourths OF cOwpeas
and One-fourth sorghum. they were
found ready TO cut for hay about the
same time. The objection 10 the mix
ture is that the peas cure much faster
than the sorghum.
The yield Of shredded corn fodder
was about one ton per acre. The cost
OF handling the fodder per ton was -
cents and its value. as compared 10
peavine hay, 81. The waste in feed
ing shredded corn was 12i4 per cent.

When to Cut Hairy ve,ch.

Grazing on the vetch crop may be
continued until the end OF March. when
the cattle must be taken OF IL II is de
sired TO secure a crop Of hay. IL will
be ready for cutting by the last OF
April near the gulf coast or not until
late in May in northern Arkansas and
Tennessee. The crop should be cut
just before the vctch is in full bloom.
When sOwn alone, the vetch is very
difficult TO NOW on account Of the tan
gicd mass of the weak and trailing
stems. If it be grown with any one Of
the cereal crops. it will not be difficult
t. mow. and the hay can he cured with
but little difficulty. If it is not desired
to save the hay, the cattle may he kept
upon the crop until the time when il is
desired To plow it under
