GOOD CROPS FOR PIGS
Interesting Report Of Expert
ments at Arkansas Station.
Result Shows Pork Can Be ProfitabIy
Raised by Feeding Rotation and at
the Same Time the Soil
Can Be improved.

In many sections of the country
pigs are allowed to run and are fed
corn or grain in addition to the food
they can gather. In regions where
corn Is not abundant and Is not suffi-
GENTLY cheap for this purpose there
has been considerable interest in
studying forage crops suited to pastur-
age for pigs.
In connection with this the effort
has been not only to learn what green
crops are relished by pigs and would
produce satisfactory gains in weight,
but also to arrange the crops in such
succession as to furnish food through
out the season. Several experiment
stations have been working along
these lines with reference especially
to the conditions and practices of the
south.
An interesting report of experiments
in fattening pigs on succession of
forage crops has been published by
the Arkansas station. Rye, red clover,
sorghum, peanuts, and sweet potatoes
were the crops used in the test. They
were grown on worn sofia sandy
loan deficient In vegetable matter
which in a good season would produce
about twenty-five bushels Of corn to
the acre. The pigs were confined in
a movable pen while grazing. A grade
Poland-Chin SOW with five pigs was
turned into the rye March %. The
rye had been soWn the fall preyious
and was about six inches high The
SOW did not relish the rye and was
given some corn in addition. Com
paratively little rye was eaten, and
after week the pigs were put on red
clover, which was in its second year.
The pigs grazed over 1t twice They
were fed some grain In addition The
SOW remained with the pigs until the
middle of May and record was kept
of all the food she consumed.
Toward the end Of July the pigs
were put on sorghum which had been
planted about the middle OF April and
was headed out and in bloom. They
showed preference for the sorghum
heads and toward the last would not
eat the stalks, which had become rath-
er hard. Late in September two of
the pigs were put on sweet potatoes
and three ON peanuts. The sweet po-
tatoes were not relished, and the pigs
did not make satisfactory gains on
them. After two weeks they were
therefore put on peanuts with the

NEWEST FANCY FOR EVENING
Lizard Gown Has Become Exceeding
Iy Popular In Paris and Really
Has Much Merit.

Just as savage woman seeks to dec
ocate herself in semblance Of the
birds and the beasts in her use Of
feathers, skins and war paint, so the
Partisan woman of fashion initiates
the scales of the fish, the. wings of
the butterfly and the tail of the lizard
in her ballroom fancies. The lizard
tail evening gown is the newest fancy,
and it bids fair to implant a graceful
style in the American drawing-room.
The first model to appear in Chica-
go is a vase colored messaline, with
black satin "tail' tunic, and waistband
encrusted with black pearls Black
pearl clusters are worn on the cir
cular black silk hair ornament that
goes with it. The effect is one of
sinuous grace, and it will add height
to the short and the overly plump.
The style could be carried out even
more suggestively in two shades of
green, or of brown, or green and
bronze.
Where the gowns cling, as in the
extreme of the seasons modes, the eff
feet, the designers say, would be most
undignified were the scantineSs
about the ankles not counterbalanced
by a mass of trailing drapery, as
there is a semblance of both mass and
color in the best gowns.-Chieago

Uncle Tom Bloodhounds Are Eaters

ordinary beef, or something better.
When Halbert first came into pos
session of the dogs the rest of the es-
tate of the one-time owner of the show
was intact, and he even could afford
to buy porterhouse for the animals If
they insisted on having it, Halbert
hadn't had charge of the estate long,
however, when the dead owners faith
er, ]. G. Chunn, filed a claim for the
personal effects Of his son. These
personal effects consisted of a passen-
ger coach and scenery and other para
phernalia necessary to the show.
Halbert fought the giving up of the
passenger coach with the idea that If
the worst came to the worst he could
house the hounds in it and ship them
from place to place that they might
board around" on their relatives. He
lost the suit, however, and found him
self the mortified possessor of the
dogs, which, after the manner of their
kind, lost no time in signifying they
would be pleased to sit down to a
good meal.
So far they have coat him more
than 800, and none Of them has In
dicated he is ready to get old and die
or quit eating just becaure the novelty
has worn off.

Babes and the Weather.

A young mother whose baby rarely

of never taking her child anywhere I'M
less accompanied by a storm blanket
of fannel-lined rubberized silk. This
she keeps under the mat of the per-
ambulator, where it can be quickly
reached in case a sudden shower
overtakes them, and in less time than
it takes to tell it, has it tucked so
snugly about her offspring that not a
drop of rain can wet it. The mate
rial is the same as that used for rain
coats of the finest class, for the blank
ct was contrived from the remnants
of one of those garments and is a
nice shade of dark red silk, matching
the ribbons attached to each corner

sewed to the upholstering of the per-
ambulator, keep the storm blanket
from slipping out of position.

CT. LOUIS.-Four large hounds, pos

all that is left of the estate.
The hounds, each one of which
stands few hands shorter than a
small pony, came by their appetites
honestly, it would seem. For years
they chased the elusive Eliza across
the papier mache ice, always just a
trifie too far behind to sink their
teeth in the prosecuted young woman.
After the show was closed they cried
for Eliza for a while, but later signi-
fed they would be satisfied with plain,

you have killed my pet. You have
killed my baby, 'Snoozlums,' the
woman Is said to have shrieked as
she stepped over the body of the fall
en- poodle and toward the policeman,
who, busy with the trousers which
had been torn, was somewhat at a
disadvantage.
II didn't want to hit the woman"
said Policeman Melbouff, so l just
held her off,"
About this time, according to Mel
bouff, Robert Bronsman took a hand
in the fray. This made things easier
for Melbouff for Bronsman was not q

In the meantime neighbors, hearing
the barks of "Snoozlums, . the shot, the
screams of the woman, had turned in
riot calls for the police.
Leaving "Snoozlums" where he lay
in the street the police took the man
and woman in the patrol wagon and
to central station, where charges of
disorderly conduct were placed
against both.

Wolfe and Null Popular.

White wolfe has found lasting favor
with women of all ages. 1t is mate
rial which muses. little and does not
require constant thought of pressing.
1t has to large extent taken the
place Of less practical fabrics for sum-
mer gowns.
Null, too, Is as much in evidence as
ever and as with wolfe, can be made
into enchanting evening frocks. With
the gown cut little low in the neck
preferably in v shape, one can drape
it with a fichu of sheerest net edged
with valenciennes lace about two
inches wide. The fichus are some-
what wider on the shoulders than I'M
the back or front-Harper's Bazaar.

Poodle Cause of Death and Arrests

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.-One little
Vk white French poodle attacked a
Minneapolis policeman the other
night. The policeman shot the poodle.
The poodle's mistress attacked the
policeman. A riot call was put in for
the police.
When the din of battle subsidized, the
poodle's mistress and one man were
under arrest for disorderly conduct,
and the poodle lay dead in the street
and the policeman was fleeing under
cover Of darkness to his home and a
whole pair of trousers.
The poodle, cause of all the trouble,
was "Snoozlums," pet of Mrs. Bertha
Forslund. The policeman who was at
tackled and who shot "Snoozlums" was
Police Driver David Melbouff, and the
man whose championship of the poo
die resulted in his own arrest gave
the name of Robert Bonsman at CEN
trail station.
Policeman Melbouff, who is driver
at the South Side station, was riding
home on bicycle at 10 p. m. Accord
ing to his story the poodle ran from
the walk and seized him by the leg of
the trousers.
1t was at this stage of the conflict,
according to Policeman Melbouff,
when he was complete master of the
field that Mrs. Forslund appeared on
the scene.

FARM NOTES

Bank barns are usually dark and
damp.
Gypsum makes a good absorbent for
barn floors.
There is no animal more unproft-
able than poor sheep.
The cheapest way to feed young
pigs is through the SOW.
Milk vessels should not be allowed
to become dry before washing.
In order to have good-sized sheep
grow them rapidly while young.
1t is poor practice to run valuable
colts in large punches at two years
old.
The real dairy COW turns her food
into milk and butter-fat instead of
meat.
You can hardly push pigs too fast,
providing you use the right kind OF
food.
1t is the income from each sheep
that should determine the value of
the flock.
Strong, vigorous pigs when q week
old will care for themselves, barring
accidents.
SCOT busted on melon plants when
the leaves are wet with dew dis
courages insects.
Dandelion green are fine thing for
the chicks. And it helps to get rid of
the worst lawn pest we have.
Cows that are well cared for and
well protected are not seriously az
fected in their yield by the cold
weather.
II you are doing much hauling be
careful not to overload the teams
when the mud is deep or the roads
slippery A strain may quickly ruin
the best horse you've got.
Don't be one Of the farmers who put
the little things off till tomorrow.

end of the year would buy some pure
bred hogs or a Shorthorn bull

other pigs. They grew very rapidly
on peanuts and continued on this feed
until the ground froze in December.
They were then fed all the soaked
corn they would eat until they were
slaughtered, January 8. During the
test the pigs had grazed over one
fourth acre of clover, onefourth acre
of sorghum, and two-fifths acre or
peanuts, making in all less than one
acre. The fact that the pigs were IN
perfect health during the test indi-
Gated that the crops were well suited
to them. In addition to the forage
crops the pigs were fed some grain
until they were five months old to IN
sure rapid growth. They were also
given a mixture of charcoal, salt.
ashes and Stacked lime.
At the close Of the test the pigs
weighed 1,215 pounds, the average
weight being 243 pounds. During the
seventy-two days on which peanuts or
sweet potatoes were fed the average
daily gain per pig was 1.31 pounds.
During the thirty-one days on which
corn was fed the average daily gain
per pig was lis pounds.
The total value of the grain fed the
pigs and the sow (while she ran with
them) was $1061, and the value OF the
green crops was $3.50. The rent OF
the land was assumed to be SO, max
ing the total cost of fattening the
pigs S18.11. The average cost Of pro-
ducing pound of pork was 1.5 cents
No estimate was made for the labor
of tending the pigs gince, In the au'
thor's opinion. it was too small to take
into account.
The pigs were slaughtered at the
end of the trial January 3. They were
valued at 1925 per 100 pounds, max
ing their total value $39.4S, and
profit of $2137. Nothing is said IN re
gard to the quality Of the pork.
When pigs are fattened on forage
crops the manure remains scattered
over the soil. This, together with the
fact that clover and peanuts are
plants which increase the nitrogen in
the soil, is a great advantage. In the
opinion of the author red clover, sor'
ghum and peanuts were the crops best
adapted for rotation, since they were
cheap and easy to produce and their
season of maturity convenient. With
the above rotation of forage crops only
&c bushels of corn was required to
produce a pig weighing 243 pounds al
ten months old.
The experiment shows that under
the conditions existing in that region
pork can be profitably produced by
feeding rotation of forage crops
and that at the same time the soil can
be improved. The importance of us
ing good stock instead of scrubs Is
urged. Alfalfa, oats and cowpeas are
briefly spoken of as forage crops
which might also be valuable for fat
tening pigs. Work at some othef
southern stations has shown chufaa
to be also well adapted to this pur
pose.

There are wide plaitings of silk
fringed at the edges, used TO cover,
wide crowns also, on hats of the more
substantial braids. Narrower frills OF
plated silk are fashioned with fluffy
rosettes and are used with flowers as
part of the trimming of lingerie or
silk braid hats.
For midsummer nothing is prettier
for little girls than the hat of lace or

AS a last expedient, the unique
plan of allowing the new structure to
rear its steel Orders over the very
roof of the little store, excavating the
basement, and erecting walls on three
sides, was resorted to.
Now Walsh is being builded around
