PIGS AND CLOVER.
A Little Grain Should Be Fed During
the Summer.

Pigs should not be carried through
the summer on clover alone. A little
grain will be required to balance the
green clover. 1t is claimed by some
that pigs can make just as good growth
On Alfalfa or clover alone as they
would if little corn were given with
the green forage.
While it may be true that the pigs
will make a profitable growth on al
falfa or clover, it is not true that they
will do as we'll on these green feeds
alone as they will if given a little
grain in addition. The grain is needed
to increase the. number of pounds of
food elements without corresponding
ly increasing the amount of dry mat
ter.
Several years ago the Nebraska sta
ton made an experiment to learn what
proportion of grain to alfalfa was
needed to make the most economical
ration for growing pigs. 1t was found
that the cost of producing 100 pounds
of grain on alfalfa pasture alone, was
about $4.30. On Alfalfa pasture with
an addition of one and one-third
pounds of grain the cost of 100 pounds
of grain was lowered to $2.74 per 100.
When the grain ration was increased
to two and half pounds per day, the
cost was lowered to $2.45. It can be
seen by feeding only one and a third
pounds of grain ration per day, the
cost of producing the 100 pounds Of
gain was lowered nearly one-half.
While one single test should not be
taken as reliable, it certainly shows
that pigs should not be expected to
pass the summer without little grain
ration

she was relatively so small that she
might easily, one would think, have
been carried on the Indomitable's

provided her timbers, and it had taken
200 shipwrights a year to build her,
her total cost was less than one-tenth

But he has married her.

MONSTER
Village Near New York Excited Over
Escape Of Serpent from
VesseI-Is Still at
Large

NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Natives of Tomp-
kinsville moved to the roofs of their huts
yesterday following the announcement
that boa constructor had wiggled his
of inspection without waiting to have the
freedom of the village extended to him.
Boa was travelling incog. and his pres
ence would never have been discovered
had it not been for some lumber handlers
who had noticed him slowed away be-
tween the logs of vermillion wood which
they were unloading from a lighter an
chored at the lumber dock of l. T. Will
liams' Sons. The fact that the next day
was pay day was entirely forgotten by the
frightened workmen, who hurdled ten
foot lumber piles in their mad race to
safety.
Each one of the laborers told different
stories as to the size of the. reptile, its
length and circumference gaining rapidly
as the day wore on. Adding all the fig
ures offered in evidence the constructor
appears to be nine feet long with waist
measurement of six inches.
Every man in the lumber yard appeared
to be suffering from deafness when call
for volunteers was made, burt, finally, a
brave little band Jared forth mounted on
stills and carrying crowbars, pickaxes,
hatchets, hammers and other nondescript
weapons. The wiggler managed to evade
them and is still at liberty, and until he
gives himself up all Tompkinsville will
continue to tremble.
