FEEDING WOOD ASHES
SAVES MUCH GRAIN
it Takos One-Fifth Less Corn
When the Ashes are Given-
Create Size 10 Attained

AS corn is rich in carbonaceous
foods--oil and starch--it is considered
essential in producing pork of good
quality, and also to secure the great
est gain in weight in the shortest
period of time. But with the ravages
of hog cholera, and the changes In the
breeds, as well as a demand in the
markets for meat of choice quality,
the question arises as to the advisable
ity OF using corn as an exclusive agent
In the fattening process. Prof. Henry,
In experiments made some time ago,
showed that there were various ad-
vantageous modes of feeding hogs,
and farmers overlook the fact that
the animals require much more min
efal matter in their foods than is
usually provided them, for it is well
known that 1t Is from the mineral ele-
ments that the bones are produced,
and when the producing ele-
ments are lacking the animal cannot
thrive. This was demonstrated by
feeding wood ashes or bone meal add
ec in small quantities to grain. with
result. that smaller quantity of
grain Is required to produce the same
weight as from grain, thus showing
that grain does not contain enough
bone-producing matter to promote
growth of the animal. The growth OF
the animal is confined or restricted as
long ais any the element in it's food is
insufflciently provided. Three lots of
hogs were fed to determine the effects
Of the use of mineral matter in COM
parison with corn only, one lot re-
ceiving nothing but corn, another lot
wood ashes with the corn, and an
other lot bone meal with the corn.
For every 100 pounds live weight
gained the pigs consumed 629 pounds
of corn alone. Where ashes were add
cd 491 pounds of corn produced 100
pounds live weight, and with bone
meal and corn only 4S7 pounds of
corn were required to produce 100
pounds live weight gain in the pigs.
These facts are conclusive that bone
meal or ashes. given with corn, is
more economical feeding than when
corn is used exclusively.

luton for an amendment to the con-
stitution so as. to give congress the
power to -oontrol trusts. and also a
bill to amend the Sherman antitrust

The provision for the amendment to

poration or otherwise; congress shall

Canton Markets

f, The Canton stores are beginning TO
put on a Christmas appearance, large
bales of Spanish moss, holly and other
decorative evergreens being displayed
in profusion. Large stocks of nuts
candies, oranges and other holiday
supplies are being received, and from
the amount bcing purchased by dealers
it is evident that large trade is an
ticiDated.
There is an active inquiry for poultry
for the Christmas trade and there is
suspicionl bhat the supply Will be
shcrt, as stock was pretty well clean
Ell mp at Thanksgiving time. 1t is pos
sible that prices may go higher. There
will not be any shortage in chickens
as there seems 10 be plenty in the
country.
There has been another advance in
the wholesale price of sugar the rate
now being $5@4 and S. 81 per hundred
mounds Wholesale. This means that
granuatcd will cost the grocer almost
six cents pound laid DOWN at his
door, and an advance OF at least cent
a pound in the retail price will have TO
be made.

Up REACHED home this morning
H after a visit Of three weeks to
III my son-in-law, Mr.. Bowser. In
previous articles I have related
several little incidents of the first two
weeks. AS to the third week, Will
take the days in rotation.
Monday.-When Mr.. Bowser came
home from the office this evening, he
was scufting his feet and had his
shoulders bumped up. He kicked the
gate open, and between the gate and
the steps he picked up an old teaspoon
which some boy must have tossed into
the yard. He assembled the steps with
that spoon waving in the air, and,
installing mo for Amanda, he cried
out:
more waste and extravaganza! An
other milestone on the road to the
poorhouse! Woman, will there ever
be an end to this?'
There will be, Benjamin Burton
Bowser," said I. "There will be an
end right here and now. If you have
come home tonight with scrap under
your hat, I'll see that you are not dis
appointed!'
''But here is a spoon which has care
lessly been thrown out, as have thou
sands and thousands Of Others" he
protested.
"Then We'll throw it in again, and
you may eat with it."
Mr.. Bowser was groIty all the even
ing, but that made no difference to me.
By bedtime he seemed to have re-
solved to make the best Of things, and
he went to bed without slamming doors
or kicking over chairs.
Tuesday.-Before leaving for the Of
fee in the morning Mr.. Bowser talked
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1902-12-02

about buying q hog, but sat down on
him at once. He came home to dinner
without finding any spoons, but he
was just in time to meet the iceman,
who had a bill of dollar or so to
collect.
"By the great horn spoon" yelled
Mr.. Bowser, "but what does this
mean? Must I submit to these bold
faced robberies every day in the year,"
Benjamin" said I as 1 laid my
hand on his arm, you've had lump
Of ice day for the last month, and
there's the bill for it. The ice hasn't
been burned in the range nor given
away to tramps. 1t has been used to
preserve your meats and vegetables
and furnish ice water, and you'll pay
for it and hang on to your breath"
He looked around for crowbar with
which to strike me dead, but not find
ing any he paid the bill and sat down.
with a sigh. Later in the evening he
observed that If ever he were left
widower he wouldn't marry the best
woman on earth, and I replied:
benjamin, don't fret your gizzard.
Amanda will outlive you by ten years,
and your mother-in-law will probably
be holding your hand when you pass
away"
Wednesday.-At 6 o'clock in the
morning I thought I heard somebody
sneak downstairs. and little later l
looked out of back window and saw
Mr.. Bowser making for the alley.
When 1 had dressed and got down,
man who had horse to sell was show
ing the animal off and boasting that he
belonged to the Seek No Further breed.
Mr.. Bowser was hesitating about clos
ing sale for $3.50 when I opened the
alley gate and said:
Benjamin. amt you little afraid
that this early morning air will have
a bad effect on your asthma"
Il was looking at a horse" he
stammered in reply.
$50 / observe. I can see from here
that he has two spavins and a ring
bone, and if he isn't blind he ought at
least to wear spectacles. heard him
spoken of as Seek No Further. That's
correct, Benjamin. He won't have to
seek no further for woman VINO
knows a horse from a giraffe. I don't
think this is your horsy day."
He looked at me for minute as II he
meant to have my life, and the man
with the horse said he killed his moth
er-in-law seventeen years ago, but it
ended in Benjamin going down into his
boots. It's a wise man who knows bis
mother-in-law.

"Are you never going homer" he
roared at me.
II am, Benjamin-going home tomor-
row night, but meanwhile don't you
get too colty. If you do, I'll change
my mind and stay month longer"
He reached home at 6 o'clock p. NJ.
without having anything to kick about,
but after dinner he told Mrs. Bowser
that he had been advised by the doc
tor to drink three quarts Of goats milk
a day to get the acid out of his blood
and that he should probably buy four
goats during the evening. She, poor
soul, hadn't any objection to make, but
1 turned to him with:
benjamin, what particular acid is
it in your blood?"
"It's what causes rheumatism" he
answered.
when have you had rheumatism"
give got it now"
whereabouts"
'In my legs"
81 beg to differ with you, Benjamin.
A man who can slip over back fences
the way you do can't have rheumatism
in his legs. You may have buzzing
in your ears and wheels in your head,
but your legs are all right Goats
milk may be GOOD for you, as you are
q good deal Of kid, but there will be
no goats around here"
"Do | run this house or do you" he
shouted at me.
81 do, Benjamin. and don't you make
a mistake about it. I've run It for two
weeks, and I've got one day more left
on the third. If you want to buy a
hippopotamus or a boa constructor. go
ahead, but don't let me find any goats
in the back yard in the morning"
Saturday.-As l was to start for
home today Mr.. Bowser made it holt
day and day of rejoicing. At break
fast I had to warn him that If he
wanted better coffee he might go to a
hotel. and at 10 o'clock l interfered to
prevent him from buying an oyster
farm and raising HE own oysters, but
We got him through the rest of the day
without trouble He took me to the
depot in a cab and said he was sorry
I couldn't stay longer. and l kissed
him and offered to put in two weeks
more, and then he hurried out. knew
what would happen. His pent up feel
ings had to find escape. and they were
escaping as my train moved away
that is, he was in a row with three
hackmen. and enjoying himself as he
hadn't before for three long weeks.

Thursday.-When Mr.. Bowser came
home this evening, he was in good ma
ture, and after dinner he suggested II
trolley ride by moonlight. Amanda
was ready to put on her nat at once,
but 1 took him out into the back yard
and said:
benjamin, you took a moonlight
trolley ride not long. ago. You first
got mad because Amanda complained
of a headache. Then you roared at q
passenger who happened to step on
your toes. Then you yelled at the con-
ductor because the current happened
to be shut off for minute, and before
you had got a mile you called a fat
man hog and got into a fight"
81 don't allow anybody to walk on
me-" says Mr.. Bowser in reply.
"But are you going out with q chip
on your shoulder? If you are, you can
90 alone. Neither myself nor Amanda
wants to carry a club or get into q
row. If you can sit still and look at
the moon and be civil to the other pas
sengers, we will go, but otherwise
not"
We went It was hard for him to
behave, but by pointing my finger at
him now and then | kept him in sub
lection, and no one was murdered.
Friday.-Mr. Bowser sat down to
breakfast. He growled out that the
chop wasn't fit for dog to eat and
was going to say that Mrs. Bowser
probably ordered the cook to drive
tacks into it to spite him when re
marked:
