Harvesting the Mississippi.

Work will be begun before the year
Is out on dam across the Mississippi
river at the foot of the Des Moines
rapids, for the development Of water
power. 1t will be the greatest project
of the kind except the combined works
at Niagara, the dam the greatest in
the world except those built by the
British in the Nile. A minimum Of
$4,000 horse power is to be obtained
and transmitted to factories in the
heart Of the agricultural center of the
nation. The dam will be in sight Of
the three states Of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri. the legislatures of each state
having adopted resolutions approving
the work and promising all possible
assistance. The estimated cost of the
work will be 100000, which is 800
per horse power on the minimum pow
er capacity Of $4,000 horse power. The
cost of supplying power, includingell
fixed charges. maintenance, operation
and all expenses, is closely estimated
at eight dollars per horsepower-year,
the cost Of steam power in the terri
tory within 200 miles now being from
$40 to $65 per horsepower-year, with
$55 as a conservative average.-The
World To-day.

FEEDING TANkAcE TO HOGS
What the Experiments at the Michi-
gan Experiment Station
Demonstrated.

Often farmer feels the need OF
something that will take the place
Of or else help out the skim milk
portion of the ration for pigs. Up in
Michigan creameries and cheese fac.
tories have been making serious In
roads into the supply OF skim milk
ON the farm. The farmers have seen
tit 10 sell this product and at the
same time desire to raise pigs. How
TO sell their milk and yet at the same
time raise their pigs successfully has
been problem with many Of them.
The state experiment station has
come To their assistance In an effort
to provide a link for the gap. In
Bulletin 237. just issued. shaw shows
what he has been able to do with
digester tankage. which il packing
house product. After number OF
experiments shaw has reached con-
illusions which are substantially as
follows:
1, The gains were greater In every
case where tankage was used In the
ration fed to the pigs.
2. The gains OF the pigs were more
marked as the feeding period was
prolonged. showing that the digester
taken not only made good gains. but
agreed well with the pigs.
.. In every test made the pigs
which had the tankage made the
cheapest gains, though In one or two
cases better gains we're made with
the milk.
The tankage used in this expert
ment AZ sold by q leading packer at
the Union stockyards, Chicago. II
was guaranteed TO contain 90 per
cent. protein. 10 per cent. fat and .
per cent. phosphorus. The cost TO the
station was s32.5o ton. The corn
meals used was valued at $50 per ton
middlings go per ton. and skim
milk 20 cents per hundredweight.

running for a considerable distance
up the stream and returning to the
sea after the act Of spawning is ac-

somewhat distorted, especially through
the frightening of the jaws, but the
changes with age and season are not
much greater than in any large trout
The true salmon, like the true trout,
is black spotted. 1t is called in sci
ence Salmo salar, and along with the
true trout it belongs to the genus
Samo There is only one species of
Atlantic salmon; it Is found on both

dwarfish when 1t is shut up in lake
