STOCK FOOD FOR PIGS.
Some Experiments With Commercial
and Homemade Feed.

and Homemade Feed.
In report from South Dakota to
the Experiment Staten Record, Wash
ington, the subjoiped about stock food
for pigs appears:
In the first of the two series Of tests
reported, which included two years,
five commercial stock feeds W4,n
ground corn and barley We're Esd in
comparison with ground corn and bar
ley one to one. The feeding ported ia
the first year covered ni1ety-tWo L:s. 5
and in the second siXty-three DAYS. and
the lots included from eight to ten
pigs. In every case the pigs had ac-
cess to rape pasture.
On the check ration the average daily
gain per pig for the two years was
IL pounds, the feed required per pound
of gain 5.19 pounds and the cost OF a
pound Of gain cents. On the ration
/ including stock feeds the daily gain
ranged from III pounds per head to
| 1.34 pounds, the grain eaten per pound
of gain from 454 to 4.Sj rou,Gs and
the cost Of a pound of gain from 4.1G
to 4.5S cents.
In the second series of tests corn
meal was compared with cornmeal and
a commercial stock feed and with
cornmeal and a homemade stock feed,
using three lots of eight pigs each, fed
for SiXty-one days All the lots had
the run of blue grass pasture in addi-
ton to the grain or grain and stock
feed. The total gain was 514 pounds
on cornmeal alone, 4S3 pounds on corn
meal and commercial stock feed and
sol pounds on cornmeal and home
made stock feed. The feed required
per pound of gain in the three cases
was 4.91, $40 and 5.11 pounds and the
cost of a pound of gain 3.S5, AGO and
A cents.
= From the above table it will be seen
that it required more pounds of feed
for 400 pounds of gain in this expert.
ment than it did for the average of the
lots in the previous experiment. This
j can be accounted for from the fact
that the rape pasture furnished a more
! succulent feed than did the blue grass
pasture.
From the data presented in this
bulletin the reader must draw his own
conclusions as to the value of any of
! the stock foods tried.
. The homemade stock feed, according
to the authors, was made up as fol-
lows:
Gentian, two pounds, cost 30 cents
ginger, one pound, cost 40 cents; so
dunn bicarbonate, one pound, cost 10
cents; fenugreek, five tenths of a
pound, cost 10 cents.
Purchase these materials at a drug
store and have them mixed into fine
powders. Then mix with five pound :
of common salt and twenty-five pounds
of shorts. This compound will cost
about Az cents per pound. For the
pig mix a pound with every forty
eight pounds of grain.

been i'll at her home in this city
for the past several weeks, died
yesterday afternoon. After nurs-
ing her children through a seige
of the measles the deceased took

later turned into pneumonia. A
few days since she gave birth to
a little son and complications a.

SPOKANE, Dec. 22.-While driving
across the George Wolford ranch, on
Malloy prairie. five miles south OF
Medical lake, S. A. Gault drove through
a large band of blacktail deer. Mr.
Gault says he was within easy gunshot
of the kings of the forest, but. owing
to the fact that the state game law
prohibits the killing Of deer during
this season, he made no attempt e.

This is the offspring of a big herd Of

region for the past fifteen years.

ing away, but Jeff was ever on top of

Johnson and some of his admirers
are confident that if the big black man
can keep out of Jeff's way 10 or Is
rounds, he will win. For one I do not
believe there will be a "frame-up" on

for money, but his hatred of the mig
ger will make him want to finish up
matters in the quickest possible time.
If Jeff is ready, long route Will not
hurt him. He has never yet met a
man who ha da punch sufficient to
floor him and the beating he received
at the hands of Bob Fitzsimmons is
proof that he can assimilate heart
breaking punishment. Johnson has a
nasty kick in either hand, but l don't

to knock the champion down. l know,

ural outcome of having ben born and
raised in a theatrical atmosphere My
first recollections were those of the
theater, and, in fact, l might say the
first words l ever spoke were concern
ing plays. My father, Oliver Doud
Byron, and my aunt, Miss Ada Rehan.
often made me the subject of their
conversation, and discussed my OPP
portuntes for succeeding in the pro-
fession. The first chance 1 had of
playing a speaking part was in my
fathers company, Across the CONT
nent," at the old Academy ur -..usic in
Jersey City in 1890 When prepare
tions were being made to begin re-
hea-sals fer this season, l importuned
my father to give me my chance to
follow in his footsteps, and when he
agreed to give me a part, / was as
rehearsals l especially distinguished
myself by attention to the instruc-
tions of the stage manager, and my
excitement was so great that l could
hardly wait for the opening night.
The first scene l had was where l

hat and throw it down. vehement:y,

very near being b. undoing. The hat
happened to be a soft one, and in my
excitement l took such a firm grip on
it that the wig I wore came off at the

down on the stage, running the scene.

actors who were or the stage with me

ANYTHING that could have happened.

OF course, Johnsons hope of winning
is to stay away until Jeff is exhausted
and then step in and put on the ne
cessary trimmings. With Jeff only
half the man that he was, this is the
only way Johnson can win.
Against Jeff, Johnson will not stand
and wait, as he did when he met Tom
my Burns and Stanley Ketchel. If he
does, it will be slumber land quick;
for eff in. his exhibition here showed
me enough to convince me that he has
his terrific Wallop. Let Jeff put one
in Johnson's midsection, just as he
did in Corbett's, or let him plant one
on the negro's jaw, and the referee
will start the toll
And yet 1 give Johnson a chance
and all because the dope" is all
against fighter coming out of retire
ment and being restored to his original
self. You can't get past the advantage
of youth. Another thing, 1 don't put
any stock in, are the stories of Jeffs
wild life. l happen to know Mrs JEFF

her wisdom.

The American Dramatist, His Pros
poets for This Season.
(HerVey 3. Harris. }


The American dramatist is entering
on an era that promises to bring him
riches and renown. Being absolutely
master of the local situation by
reason of his intimate knowledge of
sociological conditions here in his ma
tive land, he has nothing to fear from
the foreign playwright. The ire
mendous successes of the past few
years in America have. one and all,
been the product of our countrymen.
The plays that find favor in our thea
tiers today are those that deal with To-
cal conditions in the matter of socio-
logical ethics, politics and finance.
From the time started as a producing
manager. I cast my fortunes with the
American dramatist, and, adhering TO
this rule, ma small measure of success
first time, have been compelled to de-
viate from this settled policy, and
went abroad for two plays, THE No
BILE Spaniard," with which l will pre-
sent Robert EdesOn, this coming
season, and The Earth with which
intend to star Edmund Breese, begin
ming the latter part of October. Ne
cessity compelled me to take the step
bv reason of being obligated to pro-
cure productions for these two artists,
and being unable to secure suitable We
hicles for them in America. The de-
mand fer American-made plays has
grown so great that our native dra-
batists are unable to supply the de-
! mand. Although a number of new
, playwrights crop up each season, still
the output Is insufficient to supply the
necessities of the American producing
managers. / look for even greater
successes this coming year for the
ONLY product not protected by tariff
legislation-plays by homegrown au-
! thors.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-An
outline for the American farmers Of the
method of keeping a written record of
their farm operations and equipment
to insure an accurate farm census next
year has been issued by U. S. Census
Director E. Dana Durand. 1t was pre-
pared by Prof LIE Grand Powers, L.
S. census chief statistician for agr-
culture. 1t states:
The advantages of always having
on hand for ready reference a detailed
written statement of ones real and per-
sonal property are readily understood
by everyone and will be most keenly
appreciated when the census enumer-
ator calls with his list of questions next
April. The value of the census figures
of farm wealth depends upon their ac
curacy. and accuracy can only be Sc
cured through the cooperation of the
farmers themselves. In no way can the
farmer extend more practical assistance
to the census bureau, and in no way
can he render himself a greater service
than by getting out his pencil and
note book on the evening of April IA
next and making up a statement of
his farm property. The questions to
be asked concerning farm property are
as follows:
l. Total value of farm, with all
buildings and improvements
2. Value Of buildings.

Barr McCutcheon's great novel of that
name, the sequel to "Graustark," will
on Dec. 26 and q, when this delightful
little story of war, love and laughter.
told in a clean, wholesome manner and
framed in scenic picture that is
artistically perfect will be portrayed
for the first time in this city.
Delamater & Norris, under whose
management this production is being
staged, are a practically new firm Of
managers, but in preparing Beverly
for the road no expense has been spar
ed to make it scenically perfect. In
stalking all of their productions they
follow the methods of David Beiasco,
paying the strictest attention to realis-
tic scenic reproduction. All of the
scenery for Beverly was painted by
eminent artists and during the eight
weeks engagement at the Studebaker
theater, Chicago, last spring, exclama-
tons Of wonder and delight We're heard
at every raising of the curtain.
The cast is particularly strong. Miss
Gertrude Fowler who has the role Of
Beverly Calhoun Of Washington, D. c.,
is said to be not only one of the most
beautiful. but also one of the best
dressed women in the country. Her
ability as an actress is marked and in
proof of this it is perhaps only nee
essary to say that five years ago she
had never been behind the footlights
and today she is star.
Edith Shayne, another very beauti-
full woman and who will play the role
of Princess Yetive, was for several
seasons with Clara Bloodgood. For tn.
past three years she has been seen with
Margaret Ellington in 1.-The Lion and
the Mouse" and during a part of last
season was leading lady with Henry w.
Sayage's production of "The Devil"
The very difficult part of Aunt Fanny
a typical southern nanny, is taken by
Hattie Carmontelle, the only women

For several years she was end man in

| the well known Billy Van and getting
fully as many laughs as he did. Her
specialty is the part of the negro
NANNY and her quaint southern idioms

tinuous stream of laughter every mo-
ment she is on the stage.
