COOKING FOOD FOR PICS

Many farmers believe in cooking
food for pigs. some even going so far
as To cook all their food. The results
Of numerous experiments show that.
as Il rule, steaming or cooking food,
especially coarse food for cattle. adds
nothing To its value. Potatoes, how.
ever. cannot be fed to swine in any
quantity without cooking ana often
grains which are injured or damaged
in some way should first be cooked
before feeding. Warm feed must not
be confused with cooking it. An occa.
Sional feed of cooked food will be "el.
iShed by way of variety. Warming OF
soaking the food may make it more
comfortable or agreeable to the palate,
and perhaps, make it more easily iii.
geStible. In this way. warming the
feed may be advantageous. for in.
creased comfort will aid in economic.
ing the food, or increasing the gains.

pounds of wool per sheep also. thus
proving that mutton breeds also pay

TOO YOUNG TO MARRY
But She had Already Been Di-
VOrced.

Marriages licenses were granted by
Probate Clerk kirkland yesterday Il
Francisco GrijalYa and Juana Cordc-
va; Carlos Herrera and Guadalup-
Perez. There was an application fol-
another marriage license which was
turned down. The girl was under age
and though the applicant presented
the written consent of the parents OF
the girl, it was brought out on Ques-
tiCning that she was not sixteen
years of age and would not be of that
age until December 80. Her lover was
greatly disappointed and was not much
cCmforted when the clerk tcld him
that he would be able to start the
new year a married man.
Another curious fact was disclosed,
and that was that the girl had al
ready been married in this county,
and not only married, but also divOrc-
ed. In the former case she had offer
ed the written consent of her parents
and then the clerk of the court did
not think to ask if even that made
her CT legal age.
The girl is of sufficiently mature ap-
pearance to deceive the most acute of
probate court clerks. Mr.. kirkland
