field. Enough can thus be taken out
at time to last for two or three days.
There are no definite data at hand to
determine just how large an area it is
advisable to allow hogs at one time in
feeding off corn. Results at the Min
nesota station show that where it took
the hogs 20 days to clean up field
of corn they did not make as good
gains during the latter part of the
period as during the earlier part. Some
farmers who have tried it claim that
as good results are obtained by turn
ing into the whole field at once as
by fencing into lots. This is a matter
to be settled largely by circumstances
such as the price of labor, the shape
of the fields, the cost to fence them,

LINERS TRIP ROUGH
Picturesque New York Com
PEELED to Stop in Mid-Ocean.
BOBSTAY Is YANKED LOOSE
Steel Hawser Pounds Bow of Vessel
So Hard that Captain Fears for
Able Seaman Lowered to Fasten 1t.
Many Dressmakers Aboard.

New York, March 15.-The American
liner New York. one OF few OF the big
picturesque ocean-crossers with a clipper
stem and figure-head. found her course
from Southampton to Sandy Hook full
Of crested hills and yawning hoIlows on
the trip she finished this afternoon.
Her figure-head, that of a very proper
white lady representing New York when
she is good, was SCARED a bit by the i'm
polite seas that spat IN her face. and
her bobstay got such a yank that it was
torn from its fastening under the bow
spirit and slashe6 around about five min
utes before it was secured.
In those five minutes the bibstay, which
is a twenty-foot length of two-inch steel
hawser, beat drum on the bow Of the
ship so vigorously that Capt. Roberts did
not need to be told by the lookout for
ward exactly what had happened. The
liner was plunging heavily in the seas.
and the bobstay slambanged at every
plunge. There were not very many Of
them before the captain had stopped the
ship.
Able Seaman Lowered.
An able seamon was lowered over the
bow, and quickly captured the loose
end and made a line fast TO it. Then il
was hauled on board. and firmly lashed
with a stout hawser to the end Of the
bowsprit.
All this happened on Thursday in mid
ocean, on the worst day of a very bad
series of days.
Aboard the New York were ten dress
makers and milIiners with Easter hnery
in thirty trunks and boxes. They had de-
clared them properly. and they We're

in it. and Tim asked the young man 10

pearls. Mr.. Umsted said that he had a
consular certificate showing that the
pearls were Of American origin. after Tim
had uncovered others by a personal search
of all Mr.. Umsled's pockets. There We're
about $500 worth of pearls in all. which
Mr.. Umsted had neglected TO declare.

certificate was sufficient He found out
otherwise before he left the pier. as il
