Transatlantic Record Broken.

Queenstown-The Cunard liner
Mauretania, passed Daunt's rock at
SAC p. m. Thursday, establishing a
new eastbound transatlantic record.
Her time for the voyage from Sandy
Hook was four days, twenty-five hours,
twenty.nine minutes, which beats the
best time of her sister ship, the Lusi,
tania, by twenty-one minutes. The diff
ference between the old and the new
record is not great, but considering
weather conditions the officers of the
Mauretania express themselves as
greatly pleased with her performance.
The distance covered was 2,807 nauti-
cal miles.

Money in Hogs

February IL the agricultural
college held a Feeders Institute at
Manassa. Fifty attended the
morning session and sixty in the
afternoon. H. Nj. Cottrell and
Clarence A. Lyman represented
the college and there were eight
local speakers who presented prsc-
teal addresses.
The most notable address was
given by F. w. Coakley. of Boun-
tiful, on his experience on raising
hogs.
In July 1905, Mr.. Coakley
bought five, little SOW pigs for
$1,000, took them home in cof-
fee box in the back Of his buggy
They had pigs in May 1906, and
raised 80 to weaving time.
The five sows and their pigs
were pastured through the sum-
mer on two acres seeded to sweet
clover and oats, using eighteen
pounds of clover seed and one
bushel of oats per acre. The pigs
were unable to keep the pasture
down and four tons of good hay
were harvested from the two acres.
The sows had no grain after the
pigs We're weaned but the pigs
were fed twice. daily, all the slop
they wolud eat.
In October 1906, when the pigs
were five months old. twenty head
were sold. They averaged 102
pounds each and brought eight
cents. Eleven sows were left for
which Mr.. Coakley was offered SIS
per head, but refused it.
The account with these pigs
stands as follows:

FARMERS HAVE A
GREAT MEETING

Thursday, February II, the Ag-
ricultural college held Farmers
Institute in the Woodman hall at
La Jara. There was an attend
ance of 30 in the morning and 40
in the afternoon.
The meeting was opened in the
morning by the La Jara band
which rendered some very enjoy
able music.
d. E. Newcomb opened the pro
gram with short address.
Henry Vassar, of Romeo, de-
scribed his method of raising peas
where he secured yield of 80
bushels per acre of threshed peas.
He sowed early in March on new
land and irrigated five times He
seeded at varying rates from . to
) pecks per acre and got about the
same yield from all seedlings. His
best success was where the water
WIS kept down sufficiently to stunt
the growth of the vines and force
a neavy yield of pods, Where he
kept the soil well soaked the vines
grew 20 feet in length but there
were few pods.
Mr.. Vassar thinks that the first
need to secure "A large yield is
high yielding strain of peas and
the other requirement is to starve
the plant for water so as to check
the growth of vines and not have
them average over five or six feet
in length.
Last year was his first crop and
he raised 80 bushels of peas per
acre. He feels certain that he can
raise 60 to 10 bushels per acre this
season.
J. c. Pursley raised y loads of
pea vines on ten acres and threshed
12T bushels of peas, probably get
ting half the crop He irrigated
once early in May. For hay he
irrigates twice and gets large
growth of vine. He sows per acre
60 pounds of peas and 30 pounds
of either barley or wheat.
Peter Guymon made several
tests, last year of thick and thin
seeding and found that on. t he
average rich. damp sol of La lara
the thin seeding yielded the most
grain. as to yield grain the peas
must have sunlight. He will SOW
80 to 10 acres this year for fatten-
ing hogs, sowing forty pounds of
seed per acre.
c. A, Lyman, of Romeo, urged
the need of breeding up higher
yielding strains of peas. He said
that in every field some vines
would be covered with pods: 9th
vines would have few or no pods.
Some pods have 9 peas each, 9TH
ers s. others 4. some 2 and some
none. The pea now sown in this
section is mongrel mixture of a
large number ofsorts. and that we
need is pure bred strain with
many pods to the vine and many
large peas in each pod.
Prof. H. NJ. Cottrell, of the Ag-
ricultural college, showed how corn
had been bred up in Kansas and
urged that similar methods would
as surely make as large an increase
in the yield of peas. He told of a
test where 100 ears of choice corn.

We're planted in field, each ear in
a separate row. The row from one
