Of tar veneering the road VIII be
started In few days.
The commission has been handi'
capped somewhat Of late, owing to the
inability of the quarries to furnish
stone rapidly enough to meet require
ments, and Commissioner Murdoch has
been making a trip throughout the
nearby communities TO get the farm
ers to haul in their hardheads to the
crushers. The water supply has also
been a handicap, and the commission
has dug a well on Grand River-ave.,
and built standpipe on Mt. Elliott
ave-, connecting with the Detroit city
water works. A railroad switch has
also been built on Gratiot-ave.
The bridge abutments over Mon

T~hirty.six pigs weighing about so lbs
each we're fed in lots on different forage
crops In connection with corn until they
were ready for market, accurate account
being kept Of the cost Of gains made.
In cheapness Of gains the feeds used
ranked a. follows. Corn and skinned
milk. cheapest; corn and and alfalfa.
second; corr and red clover, third; corn
and bluegrass. fourth; corn and rape
fifth; corn and shipstuff, sixth.
A saving Of about Use . hundred In the
cost Of gain was effected by using green
clover instead Of fresh bluegrass. A saw.
ing Of 81 90 hundred was effected by
using alfalfa instead Of bluegrass.
When It Is realized that alfalfa comes
on early and when properly clipped stays
green all SUMMER and until the very
hard freezes of early winter. its impor-
lance a. q hog pasture Is apparent.
Clover yields more forage per acre than
bluegrass, and as shown by these expert.
ments has . much higher feeding value.
It Is of the utmost importance therefore
to provide this sort OF a pasture for hogs
than TO require them to run on bluegrass
pasture. or ever worse than bluegrass. .
timothy pasture. or even far worse than
this to confine them in . dry lot In the
summer time.
This bulletin recommends a succession Of
crops for profitable hog pasture. The
bulletin IL for free distribution, and may
be had by addressing the experiment

difference how hard our treasurers work
