Probably the most expensive ciga-

member of one Of Uncle Sans forest

A pOultryman whom we ran across
the other day got his hens to change
their minds and start laying by sub
stituting ration of bran for the corn

In the transference of real estate
the question frequently arises whether
buyer or seller is liable for taxes fall
ing due OH or about the time of the
transfer. Taxes due and payable prior
to time of sale constitute an incum-
brance OH the property and must be
paid before clear title can be given.
Taxes cOllpctible after sale must be
paid by the purchaser unless there is
specific agreement to the contrary, as
the land is always liable for the taxes.
and the one Who holds title is there
fore accountable.

bandry department of the Pennsyl
vania Agricultural college have been
conducting some valuable hog feeding
tests. the rations used being wheat
middlings and corn chop and tankage.
While the pigs fed on middlings alone
made better use Of their feed at first
than the lot given corn chop and tank
age. in the latter part of the feeding
period the reverse was true. The pigs
fed middlingS We're not only not So
active and healthy as the others. but
they did not eat their ratiOns with the

m.dllin%S made Il total gain in the
feeding period of 331.J pounds, while
those fed tAnknGr and corn made
total gain of 4fS.5 pounds. The latter
ration also had somewhat the advHn-
ta%e in the matter Of cost per pDunl
