Experiments in feeding show that
there is not much difference in the
feeding value of corn and barley; con-
sequently the local cost must guide
in this respect. Middlings at the price
quoted is cheaper per ton than oats,
and it would be more economical to
sell oats and buy middlings, says an
Illinois pork raiser. do not recon-
mend any method of feeding that does
not have good pasture in connection
wit it, and clover or any other legume
would be- better than timothy or at
least in connection with the timothy.
Keep this fact in mind-that the more
green food supplied the less oats, mid
dlings or other protein food will be re-
quired, and the greater the health OF
the pigs.-Farmers' Home Journal.

The peanut is assuming every year
more and more importance as q field
crop. Its natural home seems to be
in the southern part of the temperate
zone, but it grows far north when
properly cultivated. 1t is successfully
cultivated as far north as the great
lakes. We arepnot sure that this will
not yet become one of the successful
field crops of the sandy regions Of the
middle west. We have been treated
to so many surprises as to the adap-
liability of plants to large areas of
country that little in this line now sur
prises us. If the peanut can be grown
in large quantities on our very sandy
land, it will prove to be a great boon
to our agriculturists. Belonging to
the leguminosae, it has roots that car
ry nodules in which live the bacteria
that gather nitrogen from the air. The
edible portion of the nut is therefore
very rich In nitrogen. An analysis of
the edible portion shows it to contain,
in per cents, water, 90; protein, 25.S;
fat, 1856; carbohydrate, 24.4, and ash,
2. The protein content is therefore re-
markably high, and makes the nut
very good food when it is ground to
increase its digestibility. 1t is an i'm
proven of the soil, as are all the le-
gumes. There is no danger of grow
ing too many peanuts. as the surplus
can always be used as food for swine.
One man declares that the peanut can
be grown in every state in the Union,
and even in southern Canada, and as
serts that it is now being grown as faI
north as the lower peninsular of Mich
igan. If for any reason a crop Of pea
nuts should fail to ripen, it would add
nitrogen to the soil by being plowed
under.-Farmers' Review.

Whatever of success that has at

The ordinary boats in case of accidents

the lashings have to be cut, and when
the ship has sunk the boats will be
found floating on the water like RATS.

The invention is pontoon-shaped

kapok, in water-tight cushions, which
are placed in water-tight compartments.
Kapok combines the greatest floating
capacity with the best weight and will
sustain from 80 to 35 times its own

The boat has superstructure which
can be folded up or erected, the whole

COST OF MAKING PORK.
Does Winter-Made Pork Cost More
to Produce Than That Made
i'm Summerg

What is the relative cost of making
pork summer and winter? This Is
question we would like to have some
of our readers answer, for we presume
they have figured it OFT. Ordinarily
the impression is held that it costs
so much more to mako pork in win
ter than in the summer that swine
raisers do not go into it extensively.
But it is altogether probable that the
cost of making pound of pork in the
winter time is not very much more
than it is in the summer time; and
frequently we are sure the cost is
even less.
There are a good many Offsets in
favor of the winter pork-making that
are overlooked by the men who de-
clare that winter-made pork is too
/ expensive to be profitable. The one
item against making pork at this time
is lack of pasturage. But it must be
remembered that pasturage costs
something, even if for the fencing
only. In the winter time the hogs are
necessarily shut up in the houses or
small yards. and the cost OF fencing
is slight. Then there is the accumu-
iation of manure that frequently is
not realized on in the pasture. This
item of manure is a considerable one
to the man that is raising any kind
of vegetable or to the man that needs
BARNARD manure for any special pur'
pose.
Where a man has an abundance OF
clover. alfalfa or skim milk for win
| ter feed. we believe that the making
of pork in winter is as profitable as
| II would be in the summer The con
| test is not between summer and win
| ter pork making, but between making
both summer and winter and making
II only in the summer. The two lit
tiers per SOW a year should he more
profitable han the one litter a year
We are inclined to think that the mer
| who have gone out OF the raising o.
winter pigs because they considered
II was improbable, have not consid
cred all the factors that enter int
the question One gerat advantage
in raising swine is that their grea
fecundity makes them profitable Thi'
| advantage should not be light!

Seattle, Wash-This place comes to

development Of the exposition idea
that promises to have an important
bearing on the oriental trade that
everyone has heard SO much about in
the last few years. Instead of waiting
for people to come to fair the Sea-
tie people. or. rather the Northwestern
Commercial company of Seattle, pro-
poses to send the fair the people
exclusively to people who have money

have been started out this month, in
stalled on the steamship Victoria, but
the Russo-J Japanese war upset the
scheme and the sailing date of the
floating fair as been postponed to
November Is, 1905.
The idea Is to offer American COM
mercial houses an opportunity to send
representatives to establish permanent
agencies and also to make immediate
sales to the countries bordering on the
Pacific ocean, which contain the larger
portion of the worlds population, and
which are in direct water communica-
