sions, while the other half were allowed
entrance on passes.
The grounds are rapidly nearing COM

provement in the general character of
the fair. All the bare spots have been
leveled off, and where for two years
nothing has grown, grass is ~sprouting
up through the soil.
There has been much criticism on the
management for allowing such a large
number of passes to be issued, but as
there are a great many workmen en-
ployed on the grounds who have to be
provided with tickets, the passholding
army will continue to swell the gate
figures for some time to come. Just as
fast as possible, however, the gangs Of
workmen are being reduced, and the
officers promise that the pass attend

than that of May, while the paid ad.

cause they are scavengers and can
pick off a large share Of their food
from scanty herbage. Such sheep
must be active to travel over large
spaces in order to find subsistence. To
expect sheep to pay without the In

Success is assured only when the

Cattle Range. Are Vanishing.

Many of the large Western cattle
ranches have been broken up by the
increase of irrigation. which makes
smaller farms more profitable in pro-
portion than ranches. 1t has been pre-
dicted that before many years nearly
all cattle will be raised on small farms
or fenced ranges. Another reason is
that the free Government land once
occupied by the cattlemen is being rap
idly taken up by farm settlers.

= Barley for Hogs,

After several years experience am
convinced that for growing pigs be-
tween the age Of 2 to 6 months barley
is preferable to corn If only one thing
is fed. But to be able to feed barley
profitably it must be finely ground
and soaked at least six hours before it
is given to the pigs. It should always
be fed in the form of a very thick
slop. Skim milk is prefera BILE to water
for making the slop, especially for
young pigs. once fed a lot of pigs

Concentrated Product.

The man who grows pig, whether
in the fall or spring, and lets him
root, hog, or die," cannot expect much
profit. The pig is grown to concen-
trate the marketable products on the
farm. He is a grass eater and an ON
niverous creature, and hence it is easy
to supply his wants. and they should
be supplied to his full capacity con-
stantly.

Value of Cattle Foods,

The value Of cattle foods depends
largely upon their digestibility. There
is more protein in straw than in corn
fodder, but the latter is more digest-
BILE. Some coarse foods are valuable,
however, in assisting to digest the con-
centrated foods by giving bulk to the
mess, and separating the materials,
especially when the coarse foods are
reduced to fine condition. Even if
but a portion of the straw foods are
digested they are prepared for the ma
nure heap by the animals, and are thus
Increased in value compared with
waSteful use.

oats or spring barley. The blades and

not crow as rank as oats. but it stools
