Eleetions IN Reiaium.

Political amenities during a Belgian
election seem to be unfettered by any
censorship. Boards are erected every
where, in groups of threes. ont
the three parties, clericals, liberals and
socialists, affix their appeals and dis
play their cartoons without restriction.
The great success at the recentHelec-
ton was a. socialist cartoon showing
an elephant (the Congo) drawing his
sustenance from some evil looking
financiers who are feeding him with
bags of gold. On the elephants back
is a hideous .caricature of King Leopold
experimenting the feeding operation.
On the last vertebra lis perched the
Countess Vaughn, wearing q crown
made to look more like a,halo and hold
ing out a baby in triumph. yts
Grouped around the tail end are the
animals offspring, COLLINS, represent
ing lust. greed brutality cunning, etc.
The elephant stands On the bodies OF
slaves. This cartoon was always sur
rounded by a crowd of admirers.
Another cartoon showed the atroci-
ties of the Congo. The hnanciers are
smiling in the upper part of the pic
:ture, while below are Belgian soldiers
maltreating the natives. One file is
amusing itself by shooting little black
children; ian officer, sword in hand, is
pursuing a black woman. and here and
there are mutilated blacks. one with
bis arm and another with his leg gone.

SWINE FEEDING.

Corn alone is not a good ration for
hogs. The growing animal requires O
certain proportion OF muscle-forming
material along with the fattening nu-
~trients of the food. Frora h farmers
standpoint, the important functions. of
the protein are the production of lean
meat, tendons, wool, hair, and building
up and maintaining the vital organs OF
the body. The carbohydrates and fats
are used IN the formation of fat and in
the production of the heal and energy
OF the animal body. Corn Is rich in the
fat forming compounds, but is deficient
In protein5and consequently the best re-
suits cannot be obtained by feeding it
alone. Even when hogs are considered
fairly well matured and are simply be-
ing fattened, experiments have demon
strated that better results are obtained
by feeding a ration containing a higher
percentage Of protein than is contained
in corn. OF course, the price of the diff
ferent foodstufis obtainable will infiu-
ence the feeder in making his selection
and there may be conditions, such as
low priced corn and high priced con-
centrates. that would Justify him in
feeding a ration consisting entirely OF
corn. q
During the summe months there is
probably no cheaper ration than corr
and alfalfa pasture In the districts
where good alfalfa can be grown sue
c~essfully. Even where alfalfa does not
do well, there are other pasture crops
such as wheat, rape, cowpeas. soy
beans, ETC., which are valuable adjuncts
to corn. Blu MANI farmers may be so
situated that they find 1t advisable to
buy some commercial food to supple
ment corn in preference to growing
pasture crops. ~ arg+ .
This station has just completed a hog
feeding experience conducted, for the
purpose of determining the relative
value OF several different foodstuffs as
supplements to corn. Thirty head OF
were selected and these were divided
into six lots of Ave each. The follow
ing rations were fed: .rN u

follows: Lot one, $8.0f; lot two, $4.94;
lot three, $4.73; lot four, $6.38: lot Eve,
$685. lot six, 1857. IA
