The Strawpile

the corn meal lot"
The results have varied little from
year to year, but considering the ayer-
age or all the tests 1T hogs fed dry
,shelled corn and wheat middlings
made an average gain Of 96.s pounds
each, while an equal number fed corn
meal and wheat middlings gained 110.9
pounds each: the feed required per
pound Of gain in the two cases being
SIS and ABS pounds. In other words
for each pound Of gain the hogs fed
shelled corn required 0.S pound more
grain than those fed the corn meal.
The saving from grinding, therefore,
has amounted to 81 per cent. Whether
1t will pay to grind corn in order
to effect saving will necessarily de-
pend upon two factors, namely, the
price Of corn and the cost OF grinding.
For instance: When corn is worth only
81 cents per bushel the saving from
grinding amounts to only Ia cents, not
enough to pay for the grinding unless
cheap power Is available. As corn adj
vances in price 1t will be noticed that
the saving per bushel increases prac-
tically three tenths Of a cent with each
s cents advance in the price Of corn.
Should the price OF corn be as high as
IS cents per bushel the saving by
grinding would amount to a little over
cents per bushel.

Grinding Corn for Hogs.

Among recent reports received by
the department of agriculture from
the experiment stations is one from
the Wisconsin experiment station.
For the past nine years the station
has been conducting tests to determine
whether grinding corn for hogs is de-
sirable.
In the last OF the experiments re-
ported five Berkshire hogs a little over
six months old, and, weighing on an
average 142 pounds when fed shelled
corn and wheat middlings for fourteen
weeks made an average gain Of 1886
pounds each and consumed 5.23 pounds
of grain per pound of gain. An equal
number Of similar hogs fed corn meal
and wheat middlings gained log pounds
each, requiring 5.77 pounds Of grain
per pound of gain. The shelled corn
lot consumed liz pounds more grain
and gained ss pounds more than the
corn meal lot; or, in other words, the
shelled corn lot produced 100 pounds
OF gain on s. pounds less feed thar

WAGES At PANAMA.

Secretary Taft objects to the de-
mands of the steam shovel men on the
isthmian work and in his reply refus-
ing the higher pay gives his reasons
for his position. He states that
engineers on the isthmus are gettlng
IS per cent more than in the United
States firemen II per cent, and cranes
men about so per cent The demands
of the engineers If acceeded to would
give them nearly double pay compared
to what they would receive at nome
and the firenen about pay and a half.
The secretary calls attention to the
provision for twenty days leave on
full pay for men who fall i'll in the
employ of the government, to the pro-
Wisios of free quarters, free water, fuel
and lights, and for provisions at cost
as well as free medical attendance and
hospital service. The secretary thinks
the men are getting enough and stands
against further raise of pay.
Nevertheless there are two sides TO
the story. The workingman's side has
not been entirely told. The history OF
the old canal work. the previous his
tory Of the old railway is Of mortality
greater than war. Every yard OF the
railroad across the "isthmus of Darien"
meant dead man. Modern science and
common sense have modified but not
annihilated the fever and malaria that
rise from the fetid soil of the ,isthmus.
When men labor with their ears sing
ing from huge doses OF quinine, when
sickness travels on every night breeze
as it does in the canal zone, men seem
to be justified in asking extraordinary
pay.
Should the good times continue, Sec
rotary Taft, or whoever may have
charge, will pay more wages or find
serious difficulty In finding men. II
engineers are getting So in the states
the rate at Panama would be $4.l5.
If firemen were drawing s2.25 here they
would draw about $3.50 on the isthmus.
There isn't enough difference to draw
men away from their homes and into
a dangerous climate and keep them
there. When the canal work gets
fairly under way, the wages will rise
or the work drag. If great risks are
to be taken the pay should be approx
innate. Most Of us would want double
pay at Panama.

OyERDRArTs AND JUDGMENT.

| The Old National Bank at Spokane
Wash. has issued booklet upon
I"Overdrafts." which has attracted much
interest among bankers. The over
draft is explained as nothing more than
an irregular loan, Sc, Irregular that In
the case of a corporation which over
draws it's account the officer who
draws the check is usually not author
lied to borrow money without some
action of his board Of directors or
countersignature of some other officer
Of the company. and the bank paying
the overdraft could have no recourse
II the corporation should repudiate the
irregular loan. From the bankers
standpoint overdrafts are very undesir-
able for the reason that they introduce
an element Of needless risk and make
such a bad showing on the books that
an examiner might complain. Some
states even prohibit them by law.
AS a matter OF fact however, over
drafts by favored customers are per-
mitted and are even common. They
are an imposition on the bank at best
but the customers credit is SO high
and his business of such value to me
bank that the latter is willing to sub
nit to abuse in small matters for the
sake Of the profit that is in the
patronage and good will of the high
class customer.
These exceptions are all matters OF
Judgment with the banker, much as
are overloans. Some banks will not
loan more than 10 per cent of their
capital to any one customer and that
is the safest course to pursue, but other
banks with deposits of from six to ten
times their capital will take care OF
their high class customers with over
loans for brief periods because the eX-
3ceptional financial worth Of that GUS
toner may make an overloan to him a
safer credit than one within the 10 per
cent limit would be to a customer of less
ability to pay. Again the banker banks
aon his Judgment in violation of the
general rule and wins if his judgment
is good, but fails if he makes wrong
guess.
AS a rule a certain amount of liber-
alits in banking is not incompatible
fHl -
with safety and it makes so much more
business and profit for the bank that
it hass3its elements Of strength. The
thing that brings disaster to banks is
loaning for the personal investments
Of the banks own officers on to the
enterprises in which those officers are
Interested. 1t is here that personal
interest warps the judgment. With

mert of an experienced banker is a

A coNcREIE MILK HOUSE.
Any Farmer Can Max. One at Small
EXPENSE.

A house for keeping milk cool IN
the summer and storing fruit and
vegetables, In the winter may be con-
structed out of concrete from floor to
roof. A man in a little Missouri town
built one in the following manner:
An excavation was made In the ground
four feet deep the desired length and
breadth Of the building. Two posts
were then set in the ground at each
corner leaving space between them
the thickness OF the walls. Inch
boards a. foot wide were placed on
the inside of these posts next the
ground. The first layer Of concrete
which was made from cement and
tolerably coarse gravel, was put be-
tween them. After this was finished
another round OF boards was put just
above the first ones and these were
filed between with concrete also.
Then another course of concrete was
put above this, and so on until the
desired height was reached. AS the
concrete hardened the boards We're
removed. The door frame was set
between the boards in one end Of the
building when the walls had been
built up to a level with the top Of
the ground, and 1t was made secure
by long bolts extending from the sides
OF frame into the concrete walls. The
roof was made an oval shape by semi
circle rafters, the ends of which rest
ed on the top of the side walls. After
being covered over with boards layer
OF concrete was spread on, leaving q
place for a cement chimney at the
center Of the roof. The rafters and
sheeting were left, to give strength to
the concrete. The floor was also
made Of cement and inclined slightly
toward one corner where an eight
gallon jar had been sunk, into which
any water might drain. The doors
Of the house were made double, one
opening inward and the other out
ward. When shut they kept out the
heat In summer and the cold in the
winter.

Feeding Experiments.

III. % r. . /. 80
There is much to learn in regard to
feeding. The common practice is to
give the hay and grain separately. Ex-s
periments made to test the values Of
food, under different systems of feed
ing, demonstrate that the best results
are obtained where the grain is ground,
the hay cut into short lengths, the
bulky food then moistened, and the
grain and hay mixed which is done by
sprinkling the ground grain over the:
hay. The mode demands more labor,
but at the present time grinding mills
and power cutters are cheap enough to
be within reach Of all. The mixed food
is better digested, DIS more highly relss
ished, and a saving Is effected in the
quantity, as the careful prepare ton n
lessons the waste. ii

One Of our subscribers has questioned
us in regard to the guarantee un-
der which horses are sold in the lead
ing horse, markets, such as st. Paul

which govern the guarantee, and these
expressions should be commonly ull-

such auctions. BY selling 'fat the

Just as hepstands and without recon-

meant that the horse is guaranteed to
be good worker, but the guarantee
does not cover imperfections. When

able to pass veterinary inspection
