Additional evidence of the value of
sklmmilli as feeding for young pigs
has been forthcoming in some feeding
experiments conducted by the Nebras-
ka experiment station. 1t was found
that of three lots of pigs fed respec-
lively skimmilk. milk containing 80
per cent butter fat and milk contain
Ing . per cent of butter fat the first
lot made an average gain Of thirty-six
pounds in thirty days. the second
twenty-eight pounds In thirty days.
and the third lot. which was fed the
richest milk made gain of but twen-
ty-five pounds In the same length of
time. Covering longer periods of feed
ing the results showed nm even greater
advantage In favor of the skimmllk.

An interesting fact has been noted
by many an orchardlst the past few
months. and that Is the purple color
which was early taken on by so many
varieties OF apples which are pure
green or yellow at harvest. The

his own ranch In the case Of the New
town Pippin. Yellow Transparent and
White Winter Pearmain. The colorin9
referred to seems to have been caused
by cool nights, followed by warm days,
and those who have made careful
study of the coloring referred to as

show that the farm value of the egg
production of the country was $780,

The introduction Of some Of the Eu-
ropean pheasnnts into certain sections
of this country adjacent to agricul-
tural land does not seem to be proving
an unmixed boon. We noted recently
the case of an Indiana farmer who re-
ported that the pheasants got SO tame
that they came into his feed yards and
not only scrapped with but licked his
ROSTERS and turkey gobblers, the flock
OF pheasants eating the grain scattered
for the tame fowls. In some sections
of New York these birds have grown
so numerous that they raid the truck
gardens. digging up newly set cabbage
plants. eat newly sprouted corn and
peck holes in cucumbers and musk
melons. II is true the phensants con
sumo some weed seeds and few po-
tato bugs. but II seems to he the ver-
dict of those who have seen most Of
the birds that they do more harm than
good.

Burbank. the California wizard. has
figured out that if every farmer would
add one grain to each head of barley,
oats and wheat the production of bar
ley would be increased by over l,000,-
900 bushels. the oat output more than
20000000 bushels. while the yield of
wheat would be increased by 100000
bushels. and that If potatoes were Civ
en- such care that one tuber could be
added to each hill the crop the country
over would be increased by 21.000.000
bushels There is certainly something
in these figures to inspire the tiller of
the soil to better effort.
