The inside history of the Bren
affair at the Minnesota State
University is said to be quite in
teresting. The new president.
George Edgar Vincent, found,
upon his assumption of the Office
of president, that the finances of
the institution were in a bad
tangle. He thereupon brought
an expert accountant from Chi
cago to straighten things out.
Bren, so the story runs, became
uneasy as the result of this in,
vestigation, and the alleged rob.
berry followed.

The Valuable Sheen.

Sheep occupy the same position
among the various animals of the farm
that clover. alfalfa. cowpeas. beans and
other legumes occupy among the
plants. They renovate the soil and i'm
prove the exhausted fields. and. while
they may not be able to draw nitrogen
from the air and deposit it in the soil
for future crops. many of our best and
most learned authorities claim that
they will add to the soil more than
they will remove from it.

A PLAIN DUTY

On Friday, July Z, will be
held special election for the
purpose Of voting bonds to the
amount of $50, 900 to defray the
expense of erecting a new public
school building for the local
school district. This PROPOSE
tion is a worthy one and should
carry. The present structure
has outgrown it's usefulness and
the needs Of the school. There
are few towns in the state of the
size of Sauk Centre but that
have their public schools far bet
ter housed. Sauk Centre is a
clean city, a progressive city and
should by all means have a new
school building. An analysis Of
the financial side of the PROPOSE
tion, printed in the last issue of
The Herald, showed that, after
taking into consideration the ad-
ditional amount of money to be
received from the state as a re-
suit of the proposed increase of
school facilities here, the new
building would pay for itself in
thirty years. The Herald be-
lieves thoroughly in the propo-
sition to vote the bonds required
to carry out the plans for addi
tional school facilities, and will
gladly pay it's share of the neces-
sary taxes to raise the money.
The tax will not be burdensome.
Vote for the bonds.

The governor of Minnesota is

away from the capitol. He
should not take it so to heart;
the people have no particular
objection to their governor ap-

with the present executive seems
to be that he falls considerably

FEEDING HAY TO HOGS.
Alfalfa Gives Best Results, but All
Lequmes Are Valuable.

EeQUmSS S%Fc VdludOIcs
At the Kansas experiment station the
writer divided a number of hogs into
two equal lots and fattened one lot on
all the grain they would eat and the
other lot on all the grain and dry alfal-
ia hay they would eat.
For every 100 pounds gained by the
hogs fattened on grain alone the hogs
fed alfalfa hay and grain gained 113
pounds. The hogs showed a gain OF
S6S pounds of pork per ton OF alfalfa
hay fed. The same weight of grain
that was worth 81 fed alone brought
81 40 when fed with the alfalfa.
At the Nebraska experiment station
hogs fattened on grain alone made corn
worth a cents a bushel. and when al
falfa hay was fed with the grain the
corn brought 81 per bushel.
In a careful experiment made by
Professor r. J. KinZer at the Kansas
experiment station with fattening hogs
fed corn and alfalfa hay 100 pounds Of
alfalfa hay saved ninety-siX pounds of
corn. and he estimated that 1920
lounds of pork were produced from the
alfalfa hay from each acre
Growing pigs should have constant
access to alfalfa hay whenever pas
ture cannot be furnished. 1t saves
grain. lessons the cost of feeding. fur
nishes exactly the materials needed
for developing bone. muscle and the
vital organs, makes more of the grain
digestible, stimulates the appetite and
keeps the bowels active.
Alfalfa is much the best hay for
hogs. although the hay from any leg
ume makes profitable hog feed-hay
from Canadian field peas. the clovers,
cowpeas and peanuts Hay from tim
othy red top and similar grasses has
little value as hog feed. The leaves of
early cut corn fodder cured green and
sorghum cut when the seeds are in
milk make good hay for hogs. although
not nearly equal in feeding value to
the hays previously recommended
The leaf of the hay is the valuable
part for the hog feed the stems are
too woody and are detrimental in any
plant which is used to make hay for
hogs. The plant should be cut when
it has the most leaves and is in the
best feeding condition and the hay
cured in way to preserve the leaves
as green and fresh as possible.
Fattening hogs need only moderate
quantity of hay. enough so that they
will consume seven to eight pounds of
leaves with each bushel Of grain.
Breeding hogs and growing pigs should
have every day when not on pasture
all the hay they will eat, consuming
the leaves only.
HCg raisers are often advised to cut
or grind the hay or to cut and soak it,
The hay should be fed whole and dry
The stems are too woody to be digesti-
bic and are detrimental to the other
leeds. Is a careful test conducted by
the writer there was a loss of over 4
per rnt from grinding alfalfa hay for
hogs.H. NJ. Cottrell. Formerly of
