Wheat VS.. Other Grains for Fattenins
Pics


At the Nebraska Experimental Sta.
ton 4S pigs weighing about ITO
pounds each were divided into eight
lots, six in a lot. After q prelimin-
airy feeding of nine days, they were
put on their respective rations 0cto-
Der 21, 1901. During the experimental
period of thirteen weeks following
this date, the food consumed in the
production of one pound Of gain on
the different rations was as follows:
Lot /, 6.37 pounds of whole dry
wheat.
Lot 2, 5.75 pounds OF soaked wheat
Lot 3, 5.59 pounds OF ground wheat.
Lot 4, 5.S6 pounds of ground wheat
and corn. equal parts.
Lot s, GIL pounds OF ground wheat
and rye, equal parts.
Lot 6, 6.12 pounds of ground wheat
and shorts, equal parts.
Lot z, sos pounds Of ground corn.
Lot s, 6.24 pounds OK ground rye.
At the time this experiment was
conducted, wheat and corn were each
worth IS cents per bushel, rye so, and
wheat shorts SIS per ton. The cost
of grinding the wheat and rye was
eight cents per hundred and the corn
six cents. At these prices the net
profits were greatest on soaked wheat.
amounting in this case to s1.30 per
pig, as compared with SLOT on
ground wheat. In this experiment.
corn at So cents per bushel gave net
profit of only 60 cents per pig. 1t
was therefore the most expensive
food used. The ground wheat pro-
duced 9 per cent larger gains than
the ground corn, pound for pound, and
the ground corn per cent larger
gains than the ground rye.
Wheat kernels are so small and
hard that many passed through the
animals undigested, and unless first

Evaporation from Land and Water.

GhdPSfduSU tTStt @au6 aud VdtGTs
Water in invisible form is always
going up from the visible surfaces of
our lakes, rivers and seas. This is
regulated and controlled by the heat
of the sun and the amount of water
In the air. There is also a great
evaporation going up from the land,
even when not covered with verdure.
Just how much this evaporation is we
do not as yet know, and probably
never will know very approximately.
as soils differ immensely in their
porosity. There is another factor that
now comes In, and that is the height
of the water table in the soil, thing
that is seldom taken into considera-
ton when estimating the loss of soil
water. 1t now appears that the higher
the water In the soil the greater the
evaporation. Some recent tests were
made at the Wyoming station to dem
onstrate this point. The evaporation
from an open tank was taken as q
basis for comparison. When the wa
ter table was kept at only six inches
below the surface, the evaporation
was 95 per cent of what 1t was In the
open tank, showing that the six
inches of soil over the water table
had very little effect In checking evap-
oration. When the water table was
lowered to IL inches below, the eyapo-
ration sank to 10 per cent. At IS
inches the evaporation was As per
cent and at 20 inches below the
evaporation was IS per cent. Alkali
In the soil was also found to retard
evaporation somewhat

New York, Feb. 14-New Workers

before the strike commission in phira-
deiphia by President Baer OF the Phil
adelphia &c Reading, that the fedora
non never was convened to hear the
report OF the coal operators on the re-
suit OF conference with the striking
miners and that the federation leaders
had deserted the cause they had es-
poused. Oscar S. Strauss, who In a.
member of the executive council OF the
federation. said Mr.. Baers statement
was wide Of facts.
The Civic federation did everything
in its power to bring about an ADJUST
ment Of the difficulty" Mr.. Strauss
said, and after repeated efforts sue
ceeded in having the operators con-
fer with the miners. Had Mr.. Baer
been willing to make the concessions
he now offers at the time Of his COM
ing to the federation, feel sure there
would have been no coal strike
The federation is actuated by the
highest motives and always aims at
fair play" said Henry White. general
secretary of the United Garmentwork-
ers of America, "and the fact thar
Mr. Baer feared its good offices showed
that he was unwilling to meet the
strike issue squarely. The many
achievements of the federation in set
tling Of strikes preventing strikes and
adjusting difficulties are refutation
of Mr.. Baer's charges"
