Equal Of Indian Corn for Fattening Hogs
The Stock Yards Daily Journal, St.
Joseph, Mo-, recently gave the follow
ing interesting accounts of the feeding
value of kaffir corn and maize for hogs.
at has been largely by experimental
ton that great expanses of country ly-
ing in the West and Southwest have
been taken out of the desert list and
classed as arabic. To discover and
prove the crops that are adaptable to
semi-arid regions has been as much OF
a problem as has irrigation and dry
farming. kaffir corn was early discov-
cred to be crop adapted to dry regions.
Its worth as feed for live stock then
became question that the prospective
land buyer wanted demonstrated.
In this line last year Swift G. Co. car
ried on an experiment, primarily to
demostrate the superiority of their
tankage to balance hog ration, and
incidentally to determine the compara-
tive feeding value of Indian corn and
Kaffir corn. Two sets of hogs were
fed, being of the same quality, and
were treated alike in every respect.
The test was entirely satisfactory to
kaffir corn. The gains in the hogs
were as rapid and their flesh was fully
equal of the corn-fed hogs.
Last summer G. w. Rockwell came
on this market with load of hogs from
Carson county in the Panhandle, says
the Fort Worth Reporter. They were
raised on Milo maize. Mr.. Rockwell is
a native of central Missouri and is
practical stock raiser and agriculturist,
as was his father before him. AS he
expresses it, he was brought up in
hog PEN and from his years of expert
ence and study of hog feeding he should
be prepared to speak knowingly on that
subject. Mr.. Rockwell has been living
in the Panhandle for Is years and has
been raising and feeding hogs there for
the past four years. 1 realize the fact
these hogs would not have been top
getters at Kansas City, he taid, and
had they been sold on that market sew
eral head would have had to be sorted
out from the load and sold at a lower
price, They sold straight here at Sc. 37a
which price, am told, was the days
top on Texas hogs.
asked for his opinion of milo maize
as hog feed and his manner of feeding
it, Mr.. Rockwell said: From my ex-
perience would not pay penny ton
more for Indian corn for hog feeding
purposes than for milo maize, and l
would choose the latter over kaffir corn,
though kaffir properly fed is an excel
lent hog feed. There is much in the
manner in which these grains are fed.
They should never be fed dry, and for
the best results the hogs should never
be confined to a close dry lot. Hogs
need green food to keep them in the
best condition, regardless of the kind
of grain that is being used to fatten
them. I always try to have some green
food for my hogs; millet or sorghum
pasture is good; alfalfa, if one has land
that will grow it, is excellent, and
have found milo maize, just before it
reaches the dough stage. an excellent
forage. In feeding milo, find results
are better if the grain is cooked. This
can be done with but little expense on

To have had DR.. Roberts and
Supt. Momyer with US at our
teachers meeting last Friday af-
ternoon was a great treat.
Teachers had many questions to
ask which brought out discussion
and many valuable suggestions
and instructions from the above
named educators. Before closing
DR.. Roberts related some of his
experience in visiting schools in
England and made sharp compari-
sons between that country and
ours. He said somthing that
pleased us. 1t was that country
schools are not far below city
schools in efficiency especially if
presided over by conscencious
skillful teachers who have faith.
He admonished US not to get
discouraged. I mention this be-
cause there were not many VINO
heard his strong words that all
of our school officers and patrons
should have heard. The idea is
too prevalent that our country
schools are far inferior to city
graded schools. We cannot claim
them equal but if the same effort
be made and the same per capita
spent to equip our schools and to
have longer terms, our work could
be improved, and for that We
work.
Teachers present said they en-
joyed it and were greatly bene-
flied.

Meadows Udaho) Eagle. They first
heard great rumbling from the
mountain tops, which were at the
time enveloped in clouds, then they
saw great masses of earth and huge
boulders come tumbling from the
mists above. Immense rocks bound
ed from precipice to precipice until
they plunged into the foamy torrent
IN the river, two miles below. Where
the boulders dashed through clumps
of pine in their downward flight they
moved the trees as scythe feils the
grass. When the mists had rolled
away they saw that large portion of
cliff, probably an acre in extent,
loosened by rain and melting snow,
and left its high estate and sought
tho lower levels.

Will you kindly call the attention
of your readers--especially shippers
of freight in carload lots-to the new
rules governing application for cars

cally than at present.
Shippers are advised to make their
applications for cars In writing, and
to specify in their orders the items
lettered "a" to "f" inclusive In para

will enable a complete record to be
kept, which will show at all times
the actual conditions as to cars or

or absence of discrimination in fill
