PIG RATIONs AND RESULTS.

The StorI:s Agricultural Experiment
Station, Of Connecticut gives i'll bule-
tin As the following conclusions on pig
feeding rations:
The pig among farm animals is not
ed for his great capacity for assim.la-
tiCn. But with the animal the econo-
my of gain is greatly affected by the
character of the ration.
One lot OF three pigs required 1888
pounds OF skim milk containing 23O
digesuiAle nutrients for 100 pounds OF
gain. Eight lots, of % Pigs required
OS6 pounds of skim milk and 253 or
shorts, containing 25S pounds OF d.
gestible nutrients, for 100 pounds OF
gain. And one lot of three pigs re-
quired AS pounds of shorts containing
294 pounds OF digestible nutrients tor
100 pounds Of gain.
Milk is an easily digested food.
When fed alone in the above trials.
100 pounds of gain were made from
the least amount (230 pounds of di-
gestibe nutrients. When shorts were
substituted for a portion of skim milk,
more nutrients (25S pounds) We're re-
quired for 100 pounds gain in weight.
When shorts were fed alone the most
nutrients (29i pounds) were required
for the same gain.
The reader should bear in mind that
the financial problem is not here con-
sidered. 1t is admitted that while skin
milk is easily digested. it is too bulky
in character. The capacity OF the pig
to digest and assimilate is greater
than its capacity 10 consume this wat
cry fluid. At ordinary market prices,
a pound of digestible nutrients would
cost twice as much in skim milk as in
shorts. Experience shows that from
a financial standpoint. the most eco
nomical gains are made when skim
milk and grain are fed in the proper
ton of 81 to l. But the trials show.
from a physiological standpoint that
less nutrients are required for given
cain when the ration consists Of easily
digested foods. The conclusion seems
warranted that the food requirements
for maintenance and for production
milk or GROWTH depend not oniy
upon the composition and digestib!llty
of ration but also upon the facility
with which it is digested and assiml-
lated

ABOUT CHURNING BUTTER.

The temperature for charming de-
bends upon the time of year, weather,
ETC.. and is from so to Sc degrees.
A thermometer should be used IN
getting the cream into the right tenn
perature. A good butter maker says
he quits churning when the butter
graduates, and the grains are the size
of wheat grains and are we'll separ-
ated from the milk. Draw off the but
termilk through strainer. Add wat
er until the butter floats, the tenn
perature being about the same as that
OF the butter Wash twice or until
the water runs off clear. Take the
butter from the churn and spread 1t
out to be worked and sailed. After
the salt has been added work until
the butter is we'll gathered and then
let stand for an hour until the saH
thoroughly dissolves.
The proper amount of salt to use
is one ounce to every unworked polnd
of butter. 1t is best to always welsn
the salt. Work the butter we'll 10
work out the excessive moisture. tho:
oughlv mix the salt and give 1t
good body. Avoid oyerworking, as IT
will make it greasy, injuring the
grain. The way to tell when to stop
working is when the butter breaks
with a clean break, not when 1t pulls
ont in threads.-lndiana Farmer.

Andrew Jackson's Desk.

To Judge Lewis Jordan, an Indiana
man and chief Of the miscellaneous
division of the Treasury Department,
has fallen the honor of owning desk
at which the mighty Andrew Jackson
used to work when President. Not
long ago Judge Jordan was poking
around in an antique furniture store
liz historic Georgetown and came
across a substantially built desk COW
cred with the accumulation of years
of dust and dirt. Scraping the sur
face with his penknife he exposed a
mahogany foundation. That was
encugh to convince him of its worth
to him, and he bought the desk for a
mere song. Then he took it home
and proceeded to put it in shape. He
was surprised almost to breathless-
ness when the cleansing process re-
veaied to his astonished gaze this in
scription:
presented to his Excellency, And
rev Jackson, by his friend, Caleb
Pierce"
Judge Jordan has investigated the
case thoroughly and has been con-
vinced that the inscription is genuine

OLDER THAN ROMULUS
Traces Of Great City on the Site OF
Rome Before Roman Days.

Information has been received from
Rome of new archaeological discov-
cries on the Palatine Hill which tend
to confirm by new evidence the nypo-
thesis advanced some years ago Dy
Giacomo Boni. director of the Forum
excavations, that people much more
ancient than the earliest Romans 50
far recognized once occupied the site
of Rome
Signor Boni, who has successfully
uncovered vestiges of the empire. re-
public and kingdom, has found along
the Via Sacra tombs in the form OF
wells. with pottery, jewelry, amulets
and skeletons, (which he believes are
of a people who lived much anterior
to the Romans properly so called.
The discoveries have caused many
controversies. The utmost admitted
was that some people had occupied
the territory prior to the time that
Romulus and Remus are reputed to
have founded the Eternal City. Re
Gently excavations Of the Palatine Hill
have brought to light sepulchres OF
great antiquity, apparently sustaining
Signor Boni's contentious. There are
tomts in the form of wells like those
of the Forum, and seemingly they be-
longed to the most primitive inhabt
tants of the Palatine acropolis.

VARIATION IN COWS MILK.

The seasonal variation in cows milk,
ascertained from a five years study
in a herd of about six hundred cows,
all registered or graded Jerseys, on
a New York estate, disclosed the
rather interesting fact that the rich

proportion of fats and totals solids.

airy and February, in the order
named.
March and April are not very far
behind but the decrease is practically
continuous antil July, when it reaches
its low level, after which follows
gradual monthly increase until De-
cember.
The average composition for the
whole year period, as published in
the Journal of the American Chemical
Society, is fat. 80; solids not fat,

In the Dutch Kitchen at Ithaca, vi2oE-

lie opening gun was fred by Pro
lessor Everett ". Olmstcd. OF the
French department. His views were
even more radical than had been eS-
pected from the announceme2 ats of the
banquet speeches, which have caused
three days furore in the wonlan's
dormltory OF Sage College.
professor Olmsted opposed the par
uclpatlon OF the girls in the class cleo
lions, urged their elimination from
the management of such university
publications as the Comedian and
Class Book, declared that their partl-
cipation in Class Day detracted from
the dignity of that occasion. and in
sisted that they have a class day and
graduation ceremonies of their own.
which might be modelled upon those
OF other women's colleges. Finally.
he expressed the hope that soon Wo-
mems classes, and at least have sep
arate instruction if not separate facul-
ty. His remarks were greeted with
enthusiastic applause.
Arthur w. Dubois, president Of the
mems association. followed President
Olmsted with an address in which he
declared the vote of the women went
to the highest bidder, and was secured
by deals with the women politicians OF
the various classes. He asserted that
their participation in class politics was
the great obstacle to the process OF
publication attempted this year, and
declared that the women forfeited their
own dignity and self-respect by such
participation. He made an earnest
plea to the class OF 1908 to force the
women to have a class book OF their
own and to publish separate univer-
sity annual. He advocated amend
ments to all the coming class constl-
tutions by which women should be de-
barred from any vote upon the men
candidates. His speech was heartily
dpplduueu.
Isaac Lande. we'll known as one OF
the most practical politicians in the
senior class, made a bitter attack on
the women students. He charged
them with being the occasion of all
the corruption in class politics, and
cited instances from his own expert
ence to prove it. He asserted that
their presence in the class room was
check to free instruction and quoted
members of the history and law facul-
ties to show that women persisted in
attending lectures from which they
had been excused on grounds Of deli
cacy, to the prejudice of an impartial
discussion on vital questions of law
and history.
THE presence Of the women in
classes is detrimental to the men and
degrading to the self-respect Of the
women" declared Lande. His senti-
ments were Endorsed by Louis Agas
siz Fuertes, of the Glass of 1897.
