ty-four hours. will be found to be pal
atable. and we believe it can be fed
advantageously once or possibly twice
day. 1t will increase its pslatability
if one part of Oilmeal is mixed with
ten or twelve parts of this combina-
ton. As barley and rye are richer in
flesh forming constituents than corn,
these help to balance the ration and
lessen the necessity of adding high
priced concentrates. If grinding out
fit is available we believe it will pay
and pay well, to grind the barley and
rye. in which case it can be made into
a thick slop and fed to good advantage
in that way. 1t might be practical also
to grind oats and use combination
composed Of equal parts Of barley. oats.
rye and corn. but in some instances oh,
lection is raised to oats. owing to the
fact that the bulls often irritate the
lining of the throat and induce Il great
deal of coughing. Because Of this many
successful swine breeders do not nd
wise the use Of oats under any cireum-
stances. Whether the grain is soaked
whole or ground and fed in the form
of slop, we would not in either case
advise using the mixture alone, hut
would recommend feeding little dry
corn at least once day.
If these hogs have access to grass ii
is not necessary to feed heavily on
grain during the next two mouths IN
less it is the intention to finish them
for market as early as possible. They
ought to do well during the next few
weeks on good grass and two pounds
of grain day each. and on this ration
they ought to make gains amounting tt
very nearly one pound daily each.

The speaker with evidently the hest In

SO propose a vote of thanks for the
lecture to which we have so ably lis
tened" The audience was so wearied
that it did not notice the fatuOus re-
mark. and only the lecturer smiled.

NARROWLY ESCAPES ICE
Harry A. Whitney's Ship
Caught in Jam in Bergs
Unprecedented.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. May 16.-The I'M
precedented number of icebergs in the
north Atlantic was the most striking fea-
ture of the northward trip of Harry A.
Whitney. the explorer. who is at his
home here today. after three months
spent sealing in the Arctic circle. Mr..
Whitney told. on his arrival here, how
his vessel was stuck in the ice pack for
thirty-seven days. "Our worst expert
ences,'' he said, occurred April Is, u
and 30. when the ice almost got US each
day.
'On the first of these days We were
caught, and after having remained sta
tionary several hours the ice began to
close in on us. 1t literally climbed over
the Neptunes sides, and for the whole
night We dared not go below. We spent
the night on deck in heavy clothes and
with provisions beside U.S. We were
ready to abandon the vessel at any mo-
ment. Then the ice eased up until the
21st, when it repeated it's performance.
This time the jam lasted longer. and we
were almost certain that the Neptune
would be crushed at least strained SO
badly that we could not use her. Again
on the Both the ice caught u.s."
Mr.. Whitney brought back five live
baby hood seals. which he will give Ito
the New York Geological Park.
