PIG FEEDING TESTS.
Character and Causes of Soft Pork
Discussed by Prof. Frank Y.
shut, Of CGaada.

The Canadian ex~erimen;al farm
authorities have Is. Ic. u report by
Prof. Frank 4. Shut, ,hem.s, at the
farm, upon the character aa causes
Of soft pork. Softness in ork is
serious defect, and so the question
is of great importance ~ the Can
adian bacon industry. Prof. SHUT
summarizes the results of his eN-
periments as follows:
/. That of all the grain rations
employed that consisting of equal
parts of oats, peas and barley gave
the firmest pork. 1t may further be
added that the fat was deposited
evenly and not too shickly, and that
this ration gave n very thrifty
growth.
9. That no difference could be OBJ
served in the firmness of the pork
from the preceding ration. whether
fed soaked or dry.
| }. That when half the grain ration
consists Of corn meal the resulting
pork shows an increased percentage
of olein-in other words, Il tendency
TO softncss.
4. That in ufiis ration (half cora
meal. half oats. peas and barley M
equal parts) tbe feeding of it boilntt
g.ve slightly higher olein content
but this is only apparent when the
average from the four pens is taasn
into consideration.
s. That, considering the effect of
feeding the ration of oats, peas sGnd
barley during the first period to
live weight of "A hundred pounds isnd
corn meal during the finishing
period, compared with the reverse 'oi
this Sfan-that is, corn first, dol
lowed with oats, peas and barley
we msy conclude that the fmnner
gives n firmer pork.
6. That in doth methods mcntiened
in the preceding paragraph 'no
marked diffeNence was to be observed
from she ration fed dry or previously
soaked, though taking an average
of the two groups on each ration the
dry feed giuue somewhat hiEha'
olein e,szltent.
Z. As when ,eOrn meal formed inilfl
the first periaH ration and the ~lrols
of the second period ration, the re
sulting pork was somewhat soften
than frun that of any of the ration'
already discussed. We conclude that
the longer the period during whncf
the corn Is fed ;as a large proportion
of the ration Iuls.s softer will be the
pork.
8. That heans produce soft ant
inferior pork. 'ulhe growth of ths
pigs 30 fed was poor and miserable
and the deposition of the fat meager
9. That corn meal fed exclusively
as the grain ration, either dry o'
previously ssaaked, cesults in an eK
tremely s<ft fat, the percentage OF
olein being considerably higher thar
lffrom any other ration tested. The
pork was Of AN inferior quality.
Here also Ne noted the miserable
Ggrowth of the animals, the ration il
no sense being an economical one.

of an organizer. In addition to his
abilities and his undoubted Christian
character the cardinal is, from the
sweetness of his nature, beloved by
many millions of people. 1t is GER
tain that no prelate would have a
more enthusiastic sanction from the
laity.
In speaking to Father Peros re-
Gently, the pope said: Hold him

Cardinal Sarto is 67 years old. He
was born at Riese, in the province of
Venice and was educated in the Sale
sian institute at Cottolenga, founded
by the famous Dom Bosco. He was
always of a serious turn of mind and
when a young man his rector said to
him that he had never been child"
Cardinal Sarto was not "discov-
cred" until he had reached middle
age. He was a parish priest in the
province of Venice for the most of
his years and finally became bish-
op. His high executive qualities and
unexcelled learning became known
soon after his elevation and were
recognized by the authorities of the
church. 1t was not until 1898 that he
was created a cardinal, at which time
he was also named as patriarch of
Venice. Thus the modest but able
parish priest became the head of the
province in which he had served So
many years in n lowly position. His
selection was made by the consistory
of 1898 which was compelled to sue
the throne for the privilege of in
ytalling him as patriarch of Venice

At the morning session Mr.. Mitchell was asked
if. based on his assertion that the mine workers
cent tin increase to 81 II would be satisfactory.
Il do not think the mine workers asked for
enough" he replied. IF they had known that
the question TO be considered by the com,
mission they would have asked for enough, and
done it right in the first place"
Regarding the Coal and Iron police MT
Mitchell declared 81 think the forces OF the
State, county and city should protect prop
erty. and that the operators should not be al
lowed to have private armies"
OF the resolutions passed by some labor or
CARNATIONS forbddng their members to join the
National Guard. Mr.. Mitchell said: Il think that
members of a labor organization should exer-
else their own Judgment in this matter. Our
union has no laws on the subject"
THE RESTRICTION OF WORK.
Regarding the restriction of work by the
union Mr. Mitchell said: II am not opposed to
a doing much as he can in certain hours.
1 am not opposed to one doing more work
than another"
He then explained in answer to a question by
Judge Gray that when a miner worked more
than one breast he should employ three laborers.
and he could not fully insure the safety of the
lives of these men by properly caring for the
chambers.
"supposing." said Judge Gray. Il can blast
ten cars of coal day and you can blast SIX
cars; would your organization restrict me so
that | could only mine six CaTs?'
No. sir" replied Mr.. Mitchell; our organiza-
ZION does not place RESTRICTIONS on the tIiiOuHI
of coal any man can produce" He further eX-
planned that, under the laws of Pennsylvania, a
miner could not employ three labOTerS.
Does il not all come down to this point. Mr..
MITCHELL Your organization wants all men to
work the same hours for the same rate of wages
for the same class of work"
Yes, by agreement"
Tomorrow will be spent by each side in pre-
pairing for the coming week. The line of test-
mony is now fairly we'll defined. The mine work
ers see on which points the chief attacks will be
made, and will be prepared accordingly.

Yesterday was the day which Mayor Low

Mayor that the scarcity OF anthracite was still so
great that many people could not get supplies and
were obliged to continue the of btuminous

said, Il shall according 10 my best judgment

Coal dealers in the city said yesterday that they
were more than week behind their orders for

10 make the supply go 10 many people as pos
sibe Some Of the dealers were getting part Of
their supply from the coal roads and paying S

operators and paying IS and s. a ton for il. They
said they were selling 10 customers, so to make
up on the railroad supply what they lost on the
supply obtained from the individual operators
While the schedule retail rate for anthracite was
down 10 s. 80 a ton, however. many dealers were
charging sl2 TN delivered. and not able TO
