Green Forage tor Hogs.


An especially timely bulletin has just
been issued from the Missouri Expert
ment Station by Dean H. j. Waters,
giving the results of some experiments
TO determine the value Of different for
age crops for hogs.
Thirty-Six pigs weighing about fifty
pounds each were fed in lots on differ
ent forage crops in connection with corn
until they were ready for market, accu-
rate account being kept Of the cost Of
gains made. In cheapness Of gains the
feeds used ranked as follows: Corn
and skim milk, cheapest; corn and al
falfa, second; corn and red clover,
third; corn and blue grass, fourth |;
corn and rape, fifth; corn and ship
stuff, sixth.
A saving of about IS per cent a hum
dred in the cost gain was affected by
using green clover instead of fresh blue
grass. A saving Of 81 hundred was
effected by using alfalfa instead of blue
grass.
When 1t is realized that alfalfa
comes on early and when properly clip
ped stays green all summer and until
the very hard freezes Of early winter
its Importance as hog pasture is ap-
parent. Clover yields more forage per
acre than blue grass, and as shown by
these experiments has much higher
feeding value. 1t is Of the utmost Inn
portance therefore to provide this sort
of pasture for hogs rather than to re-
quire them to run on blue grass pas
ture, or even worse than blue grass, a
timothy pasture, or even far worse
than this, to confine them Ia dry lot
In the summer time.
This bulletin recommends a success
sion Of crops for profitable hog pasture
The bulletin Is for free distribution and
may be had by addressing the Expert
ment Station at Columbia, Mo.

They found Doctor Samuels ut work

they demanded the whereabouts OF

him as demoniac as the rest of the ini-

which Jesse soon took active part,
were almost beyond belief in their

Recenly the death of Dr. Reuben

readers this item conveyed no Sig

James was a man OF curious paradoxes
He was strong In friendship. terrible,
unrelenting in battle, whether under
the black flag OF Quantrell or warning
on the society that bad made him an
outlaw. 10 his mother he was always
kind and affectionate; to his wife a

him, so far as their tender senses could
appreciate, every desirable element Of
fatherhood. For a long time he as

no more thoughtful neighbor. Shortly
before he was killed there had been a
municipal procession in ST. Joseph,
marking local event. At the head of
the parade was a platoon OF police.
Immediately behind the police rode
Jesse James on a blooded horse. his
little boy Jesse held before him. Such
were the chances the bandit took.
There have been attempts to exalt
the hard school of Quantrell must be
admitted. His mother was a native of
Kentucky, and when the mutterings Of
civil war were first heard her sympa-
thies were with the South. So were
those of Doctor Samuels. In these SYM
pathies it was but natural that the boy
should share. Quantrell's guerrilla or
