What per cent OF the land in your

How Feed Affects Bone.

1t is desirable to have strong bones
in pigs, to make it possible for them
to escape accidents that include brok-
en- bones. The feed has very much
to do with the quality Of the bones.
At one of our stations tests were
made to ascertain to how great an ex-
tent the bones were affected by the
feed. One lot was fed on corn and
beef meal, and the thigh bones broke
under a pressure of 1900 pounds, or
about eight times the weight of the
body. These pigs weighed on an aver
age 152 pounds. The next lot was fed
on corn and shorts and weighed on an
average 1872 pounds when killed. Their
bones broke at a weight of S35 pounds.
or 43 times the average weight of
the body 1t will be noticed that these
bones were larger than those of the
pigs in the first group, but broke un-
der smaller weight.

Elephant Drive in Siam.

A royol elephant drive in Siam. in
which trained elephants are used to
capture wild ones, is the subject OF an
article in Harper's Magazine by Allan
H. Burgoyne. Mr. BurgOyne was in
vited TO the drive" by the crown
prince of Siam, whom he knew at Ok
ford, and therefore had every advan-
tage in seeing the amazing and even
horrifying spectacle. The drive lasted
three days, in the course of which sew
eral men were killed by the fury of
the wild elephants. In addition TO the
tragic incidents there were many
amusing ones as well. The finest ele-
phant corps in the world is possessed
by the SiameSe army, and these
drives were instituted in order to cap
ture the best OF the wild herds, and
keep this crack corps of trained ele-
plants up to the mark.
