Rivets In Steamers.

The important part which rivets
play in the construction of modern
steel steamships is well illustrated
by the fact that in the new Cunard
liner Caronia, the largest ship ever
constructed in Great Britain, no
fewer than 100000 rivets were
used, the total weight represented
being about 600 tons. The greater
part of the riveting work was done
by hydraulic power.

Will 1t Pay:


W. Fl. Il. Jackson. Tenn. writes:
have some shoats that would weigh
about 100 pounds gross that | can get
four and a quarter cents for and have
corn that can get sixty cents for. /
have Japanee clover pasture. Which
would pay best: To sell now or feed
for six or eight weeks when can prob
ably get six cents or LlOre net. Would
it be best to grind the corn? What Is
the best ration for Erood sows with
pigs one month old?
Answer: If you have good growing
shoats and are quite sure Of getting
six cents a pound for them in the
course of six or eight weeks. there is
no reason why you should not feed
corn at sixty cents buShel to them
at small profit. II the price Of pork
drop and you could not get more than
five cents pound. it would pay you
best to sell the corn and the hogs. Of
course by selling the hogs now You take
n0FiSk from the feeding. but four and
a'quarter cents is low price for pork,
and as you say you have good pasture
there is no reason why the hogs should
not make a gain of pound to I pound
and half per day on clover and a
ration Of corn or corn and bran,
though it is not so cSSentoal TO feed
bran when they are on green crop.
AS rule, with a fair price for pork,
which six cents would certainly he,
It is best to finish the animals on the
farm and get the top market price
rather than to go to the expense OF
selling the hogs and corn separately.
Then. IL you feed the corn at home,
YOU keep the chief part Of the fertii-
izing elements contained therein on
your land and that is considerable
advantage. more sometimes than we
credit it with.
It would not be necessary to grind
the corn for the hogs unless 1t Is par
ticularly old and hard. They will shell
it for themselves. and 4 it is this years
crop digest it quite thoroughly be-
cause it is comparatively soft.
Brood sows with pigs one month old
can be fed to advantage on q mixture
of one-third corn. one-third oats. par
ley and bran. and one-third middllngs.
4 combination of corn and bran. or
bran and middlings, or corn and mid
dllngs will prove satisfactory, pro-
vided the sows have the run o! good
nasture and you can be guided in the
purchase Of the foodStuffs largely oS
the market price. If you have an!
skim milk available let the sow nave
what she will consume. but DO not al
low her to gorge herself. and feed her
several pounds of meal per day. ac-
cording to her condition and the draft
which the pigs make on her.-hnoH-
