gain. live weight, when carefully
fed to thrifty hogs. This agrees
with the results of experiment
staff nns But corn is not usually
fed With care, and when raised on
corn alone hogs are seldom very
thrifty; consequently the hogs
will average much greater than
this. Investigations show that Z
pounds of gain to the bushel of
corn is nearer the result when
corn is fed on the cob without
other food. This would place the
cost of live gain at 10 cents a
pound with 7O-cent corn.
The best way to make hog rails
ing profitable in the South is to
Craze the hogs upon pastures pre-
pared especially for them, sup
plementing the green food by the
addition of small grain ration.
Upon this plan hogs can be raised
at an average cost of 1 1-2 to 3
cents pound, depending mainly
upon the management of the sows
and pigs and upon an economic
plan of fattening.-United States

It is well known fact that the
pension list in the United States
is equal in numbers and greater in
expense than that of either of the
large standing armies Of Germany
and of France. 1t numbers now
forty-four years after the war five
hundred and ninety-f four thou
sand. The highest strength OF
the Union Army at the end of the
War was one million five hundred
and sixteen but that is not a basis
for calculation for it overlooks the
men who were once soldiers but
who at the surrender of Lee were
40 longer in the ranks. The re-
gular army although it was small
during the Rebellion must also be
considered as must also the
marines.
If war were to be declared be-
tween Germany and any other
civilized country Germany would
doubtless be more quickly ready to
take the field than her antagonist.
All German railway cars are built
for war first and for freight and
passengers afterwards. Every
trunk has characters on it's side
which will perhaps convey no in
formation to the casual observer
but which nicely tells the number
of horse or men or the weight of
guns or munitions of war that the
car can carry On the Russian
frontier the subjects of the Car
have made their lines Of railway
on guage different from that of
the Germans: the object is of
course to foil an invasion by means
of the railroads but the Germans
it is said have met the difficulty
by equipping each German car
with wheels that can be adapted
to fit any guage. In order that
horses may be quickly available
in time of war every horse in the
Fatherland is registered with the
police and the records are in the
possession of the war Office. The
sale of a horse cannot be legally
without their form
al registration of the transfer and
the record contains a complete
description Of the animal giving
all details which would make it
possible to collect the horses by
means of the records with almost
perfect assurance as to their suit
ability and usefulness. These are
only small examples of the minute
care with which Germany has
prepared herself for war but serve
to show the detail and thorough
ness of the foresight.

In pursuance of complaints Of
the property-holders on the West
Bank Of the Atchafalaya Basin
on account of non-protection tc

Justice of these claims nor can
they contradict the fact that taxes
have been assessed and paid faith
fully for many years on holdings
that constitute immense areas OF
lands that with protection, would
be as rich and fertile as any in
the world, but which are now un-
productive because of the annual
flooding by waters of the Missis-
sippi and Red Rivers flowing over
certain unprotected banks Of the
! Atchafalaya. 1t is d grave pro-

must be handled judiciously, but

to a final and entire enforcement

The latter proposition (cutting off
