ono Of the first witnesses was otto

who was asked concerning the purchase by
the state Of the $4,000 in Albany city
bonds for tho Improvement Of Western
avenue. with which the bungalow Of Will
lam Barnes. jr. Republican state chair
man. has been connected. Those bonds, II
was brought out last Friday. had heen re-
iected by the National Copper Bank. of
New York Mr. Kelsey admitted that he
had heard that the bonds had been ques-
toned but said that he had consulted the
ATTORNEY General
81 am sure he added that the bonds
/ would not have been bought II steps had
! not been taken TO learn that they were
/ valid"
! Senator wainwright sfterward offered in
/ evidence the deed Of the property near the
/ Country Club owned by william Barnes, jr.
! The deed shows that the property was
| acquired on January % and y, 1902. Sen
ator Wainwright said.
! This is two years after the Western ave
/ nue. pavement was completed. and it is
/ therefore fontended that Mr. Barnes could
! not have had any personal interest in the
| Western avenue pavement when II was
/ Gre Nv OSh
/ unless he could have further proof.
| There is no question about the date Of

Of the deeds in evidence Senator Bayne
asked
Deed Admitted by Committee.
! "J-nless the whole matter IS brought
out" NIr. Osborne replied. You know very
we'll deed can he made and the negotis-
tions have been in progress. long time.
] di6 not make any point Friday except
that at the end Of Western avenue were
the Country Club and a bungalow. I make

eotiations The scheme was begun IN 1876
for the development OF Western avenue,

Bayne, the object Of offering these deeds

these improvement bonds and the construc-
tion Of this improvement were undertaken
at the instance Of Mr.. Barnes

FEEDING THE WEAVING PIGS

At about four weeks Of age young
nigs will begin to take notice OF their
DAMS feed and will eat some feed in
addition to the sow's milk. From TINS
time on they should be provided with
a place to themselves, and fed liber-
ally on such bone and muscle making
food as skim milk, shorts, pea meal,
mill seed, etc, and should be pro-
vided with good pasture to run ON.
Pigs that have thus learned to eat
will hardly notice the absence of their
dam when they are weaned at eight
to nine weeks of age.
At weaving time it will be necessary
to increase the feed of the pigs. Corn
should at this time form a part OF the
ration and should be supplemented by
as large a variety Of feeds as are at
the feeders command, to keep the ap-
petite good and the digestive system
in good condition. If dairy products,
such as skim milk and butter milk
are available they can be very advan
tageously combined with the ration,
commencing with about 2 IL pounds
of milk to one pound of grain at wean
ing time and reducing the quantity Of
milk until the ration consists OF grain
alone, supplementing with pasture OF
some concentrated heterogeneous feed.
In order to make good growth, pigs
require a rather large amount of pro
tein in their rations. Equal parts o
| corn meal and shorts, with 2 l..
pounds skim milk for every pound o
| grain makes a very good ration 10
pigs. while running on good pasture
If pasture is not available, equal part
corn meal shorts, and 5 per cent tani
age with 2 to 2 10 pounds skim mil
per pound of grain makes a very a.
ceptable ration for pigs which hav
Just been weaned.
