Green Forage for Hogs.

An especially timely bulletin
has just been issued from the
Missouri Experiment Station by
Dean 81. j Waters giving the
results of some experiments to
determine the value of different
forage crops for hogs.
Thirty-slx pigs weighing
about so lbs. each were 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 grains made.
In cheapness of gains the
feeds nsedLranked- as follows:
Corn and skim milk, cheapest;
corn and alfalfa, second; corn
and red clover, third; corn and
bluegrass, fourth; corn and rape
fifth; corn and ship stuff, sixth
A saving of about rs per cent
a hundred ID the cost of grain
was effected by using green
clover instead of fresh blue
grass. A saving of $1.00 a hun
dred was effected by using al
falfa instead of bluegrass
When it is realized that al
falfa comes on early and when
properly clipped stays green ali
summer aud until the very hard
freezes of early winter, it's i'm.
portance as hog pasture is ap
parent. Glover yields more for
age per acre than bluegrass,
and as shown by these expert
ments has a much higher, feed.
ing value. It is of the utmost
Importance to provide this sort
of pasture for hogs rather than
require them to run on a blue,
grass pasture, or even worse
than bluegrass, a timothy pas
ture. or even far worse than
this, to coufine them IN a dry
lot in the summer time.
This bulletin recommends a
succession of crops for profita

NEVER ASK FOR THEIR FEE
Japanese Physicians Leave compensa.
ton to Their Patients.

A Japanese doctor never thinks of
asking poor patient for fee. There
is q proverb among the medical fra
ternity Of Japan: When the twin
enemies, poverty and disease, invade
q home, then he who takes aught from
that home, even though 1t be given
him. Is robber."
"Often," says DIR. Matsumoto, "a
doctor will not only give his time and
his medicine freely to the sufferer.
but he will also give him money to
tide him over his dire necessities.
Every physician has his own dispen-
sary, and there are very few chemists
shops in the empire. When q rich man
calls in a physician he does not ex-
pect to be presented with bill for
his medical services. In fact, no such
thing as a doctors bill Is known in
Japan, although nearly all the other
modern appliances are In vogue there.
The doctor never asks for Ills fee. The
strict honesty of the people makes
this unnecessary. When he has I'm
ished with patient, a present is
made to him nj whatever sum the pa
tient or his friends may deem to be
just compensation. Tho doctor Is sup
posed to smile tax the fee. bow,
and thank his patron"
