In an experiment conducted at the
North Platte Experiment Station In
Western Nebraska recently, two lots Of
weaned brood sows were fed. the one
three pounds of corn a day per 100
pounds Of hog, together with alfalfa
pasture; the other four pounds of corn
in a dry lot without alfalfa or other
seed. 1t required nearly 43 per cent
moro corn to yield 100 pounds of gain
in the dry lot than in the pasture. To
pasture a pig through the season at
North Platte costs about 80 cents. val
uing alfalfa consumed In the field at
$3.50 a ton.
Twenty-Five shoats, averaging 1S5
pounds. made for six weeks an average
daily gain OF LOO pounds each on three
pounds Of corn day per 100 pounds
OF pigs With corn at So cents this
made a cost, not including the alfalfa
consumed, of S2.36 per 100 pounds of
gain. Another lot, averaging 100
pounds, was fed a full ration of corn.
They gained 1.6 pounds a day each. a
cost for gains Of s3.07 per 100, not in
Guiding alfalfa, corn being 80 cents.

An Enigma In Stone.

SO many things may be said of st.
Gaudens-of the traits of his genius,
his nodesty, his deep sympathy with
all who possessed high ideals or who
had noble thoughts of his own noble
generosity, his willingness to sacrifice
himself for the advancement OF art,
his keen perception of beautiful char
acter, or of a fine impulse that often
shone for him out of the most COM
monplace of lives or of features. One
incident of many, says Darper's Week
ly, may not only illustrate him. but
help to illumine a masterpiece of his
which has perplexed some minds that
may be worth the enlightening. THE
work is the figure of 'Nirvana' in the
Rock Greek cemetery at Washington.

TREASURE TRovE IN INDIA.
Thousands of Ancient Coins Found
in n Village of Bombay.


The small village of Jogaltembhi, in
the Bombay district, is likely to earn
transient fame among numismatics and
archaeOlOgists by reason of the acct
dental discovery within its limits OF 4
great hoard of very ancient coins. The
place of concealment of the coins was
found by children while at play. Exca-
walton disclosed an earthen pot firmly
embedded In the hillside and filled to
overlooking with silver coins, much of
which the villagers proceeded in the
true commercial spirit to melt down.
But the story of the find spread further
than the limits of Jogaltembhi and
within q short time the balance OF the
treasure, about 10000 coins, had right
ly found resting place in the local
treasury under the treasure troye act.
The coins are all silver, of approx
mately the same size and type. On the
diverse appears the head of the king
who struck them-a fine face. despits
the defects of the die, marked by
broad eye, a splendid aquillne nose and
a firm chin, with just suspicion of
thickness about the lips. Around the
head runs a legend in debased Greek
characters, which Professor Rapson,
but lately appointed to the vacant chair
of Sanskrit at Cambridge, and the late
Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji declare to
be a transliteration of bilingual le-
gend on the reverse of the coin.
The coins are those of Nahapana. the
founder Of the dynasty of the western
Kshatrapas, which ruled over con-
siderable portion of western India from
A. ID. 119 to A. ID. 3sS. Although sew
eral specimens of the coins struck by
Nahapana's successors (for example,
Chastana and Rudradaman) have been
found, only a few of Nahapana have
hitherto come to light at Mask, Juna-
gadh and Mahumdabad and those were
by no means such good specimens as
these of Jogaltembhi, which. safely pre-
served within their carthen casket,
hare defied the adverse influence Of

The results secured at the Illinois
Experiment Station In breeding corn
so that ears viii come at a certain
position Oh the stalk VIII interest corn
growers everywhere. Growers of corn
on the rich, bottom lands have COM
planned for years that too much growth
went to stalk, at the expense of the
ear as well as Of soil fertility. The
Illinois Station shows that every farm
err has II within his own hands TO de-
termine The location of ears and re-
duce the height of the stalk. The
way to 90 at it Is merely selection
going through the fields now and Sc
lecting, as foundation stock, seed ears
growing at easy husking distance from
the ground, and then repeating the pro-
cess each year until the habit becomes
fixed. We walked through a 2OO-acre
field Of fine corn with the owner a few
DAYS ago. The corn had had mar
velous growth, but, as the owner re-
marked "You would have to roll II
down before you could husk it." The
ears were out Of all proportion to the
growth of stalk, and what a waste of
soil fertility in producing Shese man.
moth stalks! Select the low-down,
heavy stalk, well-rooted and with a
good ear set within easy reaching dis
lance. A stalk of that kind Will re-
sist wind, it ripens earlier and It will
produce a good size ear of corn.

the stimulating suggestion that some

some real poetry about the figure. st.

hand, the ships propeller IS most eff
cient when operated at moderate
speeds. In order to overcome this lack
of harmony between the two parts OF
the mechanical equipment Of the mod
ern steamship, it is now proposed by
an English firm that the turbine should
not be coupled directly to the propeller
shaft, as is done, but should drive high
speed electrical generators and supp y
current to electrical motors for dr.v-
ing the propellers. 1t is believed that
a speed of thirty knots per hour wiz
then be practicable.

Early Cotton to Defeat weev,,


The Mexican cotton boil weevil has
net been put out OF commission as the
Department Of Agriculture undertook TO
do, yet the department believes it has
developed a method by which the raw
ages OF the pest may be largely prevent
ed. At first it was believed that If the
vii spread over the cotton-producing
weevil spread over the cotton-producing
Industry, and every energy was bent to
check It's progress. When it was found
that the veeyil was destined to overrun
the cotton district in spite of all that
could be done, the department set about
devisiDg some way to reduce or prevent
the damage done, and in this it has sue
coded to considerable extent. The
method Is to grow varieties of cotton
that mature early, and to plant the
crop early, so that it will mature be-
fore the weevil gets in it's work. 1t
seems, therefore, that the solution has
come In natural methods and not in the
determination of the insect. The wee

1t has long been known that bud
ding trees, when transplanted in the
evening, were more likely to thrive
than those that were moved in the day
time.
A French expert has gone a step
further and proved that distinctly ben
eficial results can be gained by trans
planting In the dead of night
He has transplanted large tracts
without losing any of the trees by the
adoption Of this method. Trees, he
says, should not be moved while their
buds are too tender, and the work
should be done between 10 p. m. and
2 a. N.
The roots should be covered with
earth which has for several days been
exposed to the air and light. This
should be settled by copious watering
and not by pressure Of the feet. For
the first two weeks after moving the
boughs and leaves of the trees should
be thoroughly sprinkled-

formation furnished by the agricultural
schools concerning seeds, soils, fertlli-

should be to produce larger ears. more
grains on the ear, more ears on the
stalks and more stalks to the acre.

Wetting Dry Lands and Drying Wet.

Wetting Dry Lands and Drying Wet.
The United States has spent about
S20,OOO,O00 In retaining by irrigation
arid lands Of the West. There are fur
ther tremendous projects under way
on which something like 100000 a

American example, Australia Is now
boring wells and laying pipes to bring
life to It's great ''dead heart"-to make
fertile the innumerable acres of the
interior so that population need no
longer be limited to the fringe of
coast lands.
But irrigation Is not TO be the end
of government enterprise In America.
There Is water to be taken off as well
rs water to be turned on. In the east
ern parts Of the republic are 77,COO,OO
acres of swamp land which may be re-
claimed by drainage. The States where
in these lands lie are demanding at
Washington federal aid rs generous rs

places.
In this other case the United States
may draw an example from abroad
instead of setting one. Holland has
planned to spend S76,OOO,OOO in rescu-
ing 1,400 square miles of trritory now
held by the Zuyder Zee. The little
kingdom will destroy a wide stretch
of historic waters. but it will feel re-
