RESULT OF A STORMY DEBATE.
Hungarian Premier and Herr Pozsqay
Nav Eidht = Duef

Budapest, May Ga duel between
Premier .Tisza and a member of the
opposition, Herr Pozsgay, will be the
probable outcome of a stormy debate
in the lower house OF the Hungarian
diet during the day
Premier Tisza had bitterly assailed
the demand of the opposition in the
address to the throne, and especially
that section demanding custom bound
aries against Austria. He pointed out
that Hungary as an independent state
would only be able to conclude trea-
ties under the most unfavorable condi-
tons, while it WAS OF the utmost i'm
portance that Austrian markets should
be open to Hungarian agricultural
produce. The premier was interrupt
ed by Herr Pozsgay, member of the
opposition, who said it was beyond
patience that fallen premier should
speak with such insoiGnce"
An uproar ensued. and the sitting
was suspended. Afterward Count lis
"a sent his seconds to Herr Pozsgay,

Toxic, May g. Assuming that Vice
Admiral Roiestvensky meditates a
speedy junction OF his squadron with
Vice Admiral Nebogatoff's division, it
is believed here that the meeting of
the ships may be expected by Tuesday,
May 9, the speed Of Nebogatoff's d.
vision being only about seven knots an
hour. These ships are believed to be
In need OF coal and stores, and their
deficiencies in this respect probably
will be supplied by Vice Admiral Ro-
jestyensky at some friendly port.
The future movements of the Rus
sian Pacific squadron is matter of
speculation here, although the delay
OF Rojestvensky Off the Indo-China
coast has raised doubt as to his pur-
pose to move northward and risk an
engagement at an early date.

stroyers have not been reported and

FEEDING SWINE ON ALFALFA.


We have experimental to determine
now much corn is necessary to carry
hogs and pigs through the summer sea-
son. Our experience in pasturing hogs
on alfalfa without corn was unsatis.
factory, and we found that when the
hogs had plenty of alfalfa and from
one to one and q half pounds of corn
each daily they would make a gain
practically of one pound per day, says
the Farm Journal. In other words, they
would gain in flesh nearly as mucn in
day as the corn fed. We also found
that the total number of pounds of
gain on drove of 100 head of hogs
that this small ration of corn did not
cost to exceed 2 cents a pound for the
gain made. We found that three or
four hogs to the acre, and then cut the
alfalfa three times, just the same as
we would mad it not been pastured,
was much more satisfactory than to run
10 to IL head of hogs to the acre and
not cut the alfalfa. We can safely
run 80 to so hogs on 10 acres of alfalfa,
cut it three times and hardly know
that the hogs were on the alfalfa.
During the past summer we made a
gain of eight-tenths of pound daily
on hogs weighing an average of 100
pounds each by feeding only one pound
of ground wheat to each hog. On this
pasture we run only about five head
to the acre and cut the alfalfa three
times, and we could not tell the differ
ence between the pasture carrying five
hogs to the acre and the adjoining one
not pastured at all. We have found
That it was almost an impossibility to
get nog to eat enough alfalfa hay
during the winter to sustain life, but
by cutting the hay fine with a feed
cutter and mixing it with ground corn
meal, wetting it well, we can get them
to eat from five to six pounds of dry
alfalfa day, and in this way we
winter them very satisfactorily, securing
steady gain during the entire season.
Alfalfa, laxative food, keeps the sys-
tenn in perfect order and makes it safe
to feed a larger quantity of corn than
without it. The greatest trouble in
getting the small pigs or shoats to eat
alfalfa is that it is too coarse for them
to digest, and we were not satisfied
even with the cut alfalfa. Recently, we
have been grinding the alfalfa, mixing
it with ground corn and feeding it as
slop. Not only the small pigs and
shoats, but the old brood sows have
done much better than ever before on
alfalfa meal and ground corn.
