FATTENINC THE HOGS.

Though a dozen different plain and
fancy methods have been devised for
feeding corn to fattenins hogs, none
Of them excels in efficiency and
economy the old scoop shovel way.
Corn may be shelled, It may be cook
ed, it may be ground, it may be soak
cd for animals ranging up to 200
pounds in weight, but whatever may
be done with it, it will not put on
any more meat per bushel than
when shoveled out Of the crib and fed
dry to the hogs in the ear.
These facts were clearly establish
ed in the extensive hog feeding ex-
periments conducted by the Iowa
Experiment station at Ames, under
the supervision of Prof. w. ]. Ken
nedv. head of the Animal Husbandry
section.
The tests covered a period Of two
wears. They included 312 pigs Of all
ages, fed in SO different lots, and
nix forms of corn were tested-dry ear
corn, soaked shelled corn, dry corn
meal, soaked corn meal, dry corn
and cob meal, and soaked corn and cob
meal. The results were so clear cut
that they seemed - Justify the fol-
lowing conclusions as to the method
of preparing corn for hogs:
1. Hogs under 200 pounds in weight
made the most economical gains when
their corn was fed in the form Of dry
ear corn, although shelled corn soak
ed in water IL hours made slightly
faster gains.
2. Hogs over 200 pounds in weight
made more economical gains on she'll
ed corn soaked in water IL hours
than on dry ear corn or corn meal
in any form, and at the same time
the gains on soaked shelled corn
were nearly as rapid rs on any Of
the other forms in which corn was
fed. The amount of corn saved by
Smelling and soaking for hogs of this
size varied from Al per cent to "a
per cent for different lots, being high
est for hogs on pasture.
8. Hogs fed on dry ear corn re-
quired a longer time to eat than
those fed soaked corn or corn meal
owing to the more thorough mastica-
ton Of the dry ear corn. Young hogs
and pigs reduced the dry kernels
from the ear corn to finer state OF
division than did the older hogs.
4. Shelled corn soaked IL hours
was more palatable and produced
faster and more economical gains
than shelled corn soaked "a hours.
s. With hogs over zoe pounds in
weight the soaking of corn was Of
greater advantage to those running
on pasture than to those confined in
dry yards.
6. 1t proved useless TO grind corn
for hogs of any age when the wealth
er was warm enough to permit soak
ing. In every case, where grinding
has shown a saving Of corn, simple
soaking IL hours in water has shown
still greater saving.
z. Soaking corn meal added moth
ing to it's feeding value for hogs that
relished dry corn meal sufficiently to
eat it readily in that condition. Young
Digs did not relish dry corn meal -

CORRECT WAY TO SET A TABLE

How many girls who help mother
with the housework know the right
way to set table?
There is right way. The prac-
tice of it is a pretty sure indica.
ton that the housekeeper knows the
refinements Of housekeeping and that
her home is a happy and comfortable
abiding place.
The right way is easy to learn, and
when it is learned, it is easier to
follow than any careless, Indifferent
method that the housekeeper may
chance upon from day to day. The
right way makes sure that every
necessary dish and spoon is in its
proper place and saves numberless
steps and countless worries.
Miss Gertrude Rowan, assistant in
home economics in the extension de-
partment of the Iowa State college
at Ames. describes the right way In
the Iowa Agriculturist, published at
the college. She urges it upon the
girls who help mother, because she
believes that the every day folks in
the home deserve the very best it
can offer, at least better than the
occasional visitor. The following are
Miss Rowan's suggestions:
First, spread the silence cloth on
the table. It can be made from
pair of worn out cotton blankets or
spread, or from special material
sold at the stores. The cloth is not
necessary, but it is convenient be-
cause it makes the serving more
quiet, and it also protects the top
Of the table.
The table cloth follows. In putting
It on, let the center of the cloth lie
at the center of the table 50 that the
edges hang evenly on all sides. If
the cloth is carefully shaken and
folded always in the same creases, it
can be kept a long time without
mussing.
Next comes the placing of the
china, silver and glass. Make sure
that every piece is bright and shin
Ing. If It isn't, put it aside and make

In arranging the table, keep in
mind the convenience of the people
who are to sit down to it. Let
everything at each place be an inch
from the edge of the table, so that
the dishes will not be knocked of
as the people sit down
At the center of each place lay
the plate. Since the knife is used
first for cutting, it is placed at the
right of the plate with the sharp
edge turned in. Next to the knife
lay the fork, or forks, if two are
needed, one for the main course and
one for the salad or pastry. The
tines should be turned up, for they
are held that way when in use.
The drinking glass is placed at
the tip of the knife and the butter
dish at the ends of the fork. The
napkin is placed next to the forks,
also one inch from the edge of the
table to keep the line straight. Each
member of the family usually has
napkin ring, but if not, the nap
kins are ironed in square Of con-
venient size and placed 80 that the
open corner is the lower right hand
corner.
After the places are set, then it is
necessary to station the other dishes
and utensils in their proper place
the carving knife, serving spoons,
sugar bowl, cream pitcher, water
pitcher, tea or coffee standard, bread
plate, butter dish and knife and pep
per and salt. These are placed to
suit the convenience of the meal. For
instance, the coffee standard and the
cups and saucers are placed at the
right hand of the mothers place,
if she serves the coffee, and tie SUI
gar and cream are also placed con-
veniently within her reach. These
various dishes should also be placed
with some thought of keeping the
arrangement of the table symmetri-
cal.
After few trials, this method will
become habit and the result of a
heater and more attractive table will
justify the time given to learning
It.
