The Riot Act.

What is commonly meant by reading
the riot act' is better known than the
origin Of the phrase. The historical
riot act was passed by the British Par
lament in the reign of George 1. in
1714. 1t enacts that felony is commit
ted when twelve or more persons I'M
lawfully, riotously and unanimously
assemble together to the disturbance
OF the public peace, so to continue to-
gether for an hour after being com
manded to dispense by tie sheriff or
undersherir or a justice or the MAYOR
of the borough.
In the reading" Of the British riot
act, which is a necessary preliminary
to its being put into operation, 1t is not
customary to recite the whole of the
statute, which is rather long one. but
only the following proclamation. which
1t contains: "Our sovereign lord tho
king chargeth and commandeth all pey.
sons being assembled immediately 10
disperse themselves and peaceablv to
depart to their habitations or TO their
lawful business upon the pains con-
tanned in the act made in the first wear

Alfalfa for Hogs.

At the Kansas Experiment Station
hogs were fed on a ration of alfalfa
hay and Kaffir corn meal. The gains
were 20 per cent more on this ration
than upon a ration of Kafilr corn meal
alone. For every bushel of Kaffir corn
meal and 1888 pounds of alfalfa hay,
the gain was 10.SS pounds, while upon
Kaffir corn meal alone the gain was
7.4S pounds per bushel 1t is shown
that the hay gave better results when
cut early and that the chief nutriment
was in the leaves, which should be
carefully saved during the process of
harvesting. An earlier experiment at
the same station was tried to deter
mine the value of alfalfa pasture for
hogs. The hogs were allowed to run
upon the alfalfa during the summer
and were fed a light ration of grain.
After deducting the probable gain for
the corn it was found that during the
summer each acre of alfalfa pasture
produced 716 pounds of pork.

One of the best foods for making
hens lay is lean meat. When the sup
ply of eggs fails, stop all other feeds
ard feed lean meat or liver, and cheap
meats will answer, and it will be found
superior to anything else that can be
used. Green bone, containing a large
proportion Of lean meat, is even better.
provided the fat portions are removed
from the bone
1t will be found cheaper than grain,
because it Will make eggs. One reason
why the hens fail to lay when they
have plenty of grain is that they re
quire a change, and meat supplies The
needful. If the hens are fat. give ole
ounce of lean meat each day, allowing
no other food for week or two. and
watch the results.-Colman's Rural
