HOG PRODUCTION.

Some of the most valuable work of
the stations has been done in deter

suited for cheap production OF pork:

grazing crops for hogs.
2. In demonstrating the increased
soil fertility from the pasture method
of feeding crops.
8. They have demonstrated that
a crop Of corn and cow peas together
grazed by hogs is worth twice as mucl
as crop of corn alone fed to hogs.
4. They have demonstrated that all

The county school book adoption,
which comes once in every five
years, took place this week, when
the board of supervisors decided up
on the text books to be used in the
schools of the county during the
next five years. The result is few
changes, as it ought to be. Often
times these adoptions work an un-
necessary hardship upon the people,
in compelling them to change books
used by the children. The changes
made are as follows: First, sec
ond and third readers are changed
from Barnes to Blodgett's; spoilers

sed the House. Upon it becoming
evident that the bill would meet
another filibuster, Senator Scott
withdrew the bill, and at 1918 the
Senate adjourned.
Immediately after adjournment
the President held conference with
the leaders in Congress, and it was
decided to call the extra session for
April 4, and proclamation to that
effect was accordingly issued.
A resume of the work of this ses-
sion shows that as a result of the
strife the following measures have
been passed.:
Provision for fortifying the Pana-
ma Canal; provision for two new
battleships; recodification of the ju-
dicial code; creation of forest pre-
serves in the southern Appalachian
and White Mountains; provision for
the construction of embassy and le-
cation buildings abroad; requiring
the inspection of locomotive boil
ers.
On the other hand, the following
have failed of passage:
Canadian reciprocity; permanent
tariff board statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico; increase of post
age on advertising sections Of maga-
zines; direct election of senator's;
general age pensions; BallingerPin-

with new, and be ready to take up
the duties of the majority on April
