POINTS
FOR FEEDING SWINE

In Bulletin No. 1913, issued by Ne
braska experiment station, the re-
suits are given of hog-breeding ex-
periments extending over several
years. While some eight or ten diff
ferent combinations of corn and al
falfa were tried, the most profitable
consisted of corn and alfalfa hay fed
from a rack Nearly as good as this
from the standpoint Of cheap pork
production, was nine parts corn and
one part chopped alfalfa hay and nine
parts corn and one part alfalfa meal
In every case the corn fed was
ground, and all feeds were moistened
in the trough before being eaten. In
teresting single facts brought out
were that one bunch Of hogs fed a
ration Of half corn and half alfalfa
gained but hfty-five pounds in three
months, while another bunch weigh
ing the same at the start, and fed
nine parts corn and one part alfalfa
gained 1%8 each on the average. An
other important fact demonstrated
was that the cost of feed TO produce
a 225-pound hog was 1895 per hun
dred pounds. while keeping the hog
until 1t weighed 325 pounds increased
the cost per hundred pounds of gain
to 1857.

Exports TO South America.

Under the fostering care recently
given by the United States to the
South American trade, the bulk OF
business has greatly increased Tho
total value Of exports from the United
States to South America for the tis
cal year 1902 was $3S,000,00O. Five
years ago, In the fiscal year 1907, it
was $50, 100000, and that of the cur
rent year VIII probably be about Sl35,
100000, an increase OF more than $50
per cent In the last five years This
increase in exports to South America
while occurring in large number Of
articles, is especially notable in lum-
Der, leather, mineral oils and railway
materials Argentina is the country
showing by far the greatest gain in
our exports to South America The
figures indicate that the total exports
TO Argentina for the present fiscal year
will amount to about $4,000 900,
against $23 100000 In 1905. having thus
considerably more than doubled in
the period in question

USE COMMON SENSE
WITH The DAIRY cow
CIV WALTER B. LEUTz.)

CIV WALTER B. LEUTZ.)
Have the cows come fresh in the
fall If this practice were followed
generally, there is littls question but
that at least 80 pounds of butter-fat
per year would be added to the aver
age product per COW in the state,
Having cows freshen at this time
brings the heaviest milking during
the winter, when one has the most
time 1t brings the care of the calves
in the winter; it allows the feeding
of the skim-milk to the calves In thd
winter, while they need 1t; and to the
young pigs during the early summer,
when 1t means SO much to them,
Calves dropped in the fall are ready
for grass as soon as 1t comes in the
spring. Cows freshening in the fall
will. if we'll cared for, give a good
flow OF milk In the winter; and
when the grass comes. good flow
during the early summer; and most
of them will be dry during harvest
and fall work, when there is plenty
to do without a lot OF milking. The
average price of butter-fat will also
be higher, because of larger por-
ton Of 1t being produced during the
winter, when prices are invariably
higher than In summer.

near Philadelphia short time ago
While playing last in Philadelphia
Mr.. Hansel visited DR.. Furness and
was shown through his vault" where
in are stored countless mementoes

played in them Mr.. Hansel saw and
handled a pair of gloves which Gar

the bard himself had worn.
There was also skull. which came
from the property room of the old

skull was of priceless historic assoc

only had Booth and Barrett used 1t In
their gravediggers' scene in Hamlet
and had written their names upon 1t,
but the old relic had even furnished
forth this scene for Kean, Kemble and
Macready and bore their inscriptions
AN old caretaken of the doctors
house one day bethought herself to
straighten up the vault bit and pres
entity came upon this skull. 1t was
very dirty indeed, with all those
marks, and she went at it with soap
and water.
"A little later she took the skull,
with perhaps a brighter grin for its
securing, to the DOCTOR rejoicing that

And what do you suppose the old

He just told her that he wouldn't
bother about cleaning in the vault
any more, and never by word or
sign did he let her know how deep or
irreparable had been the loss to him"

BY PROF. j. G. MILWARO,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.
In commercial potato growing cen
ters there Is urgent need that a re-
vision be made of the rules Of county
fairs relating to the arrangement Of
premium lists on potatoes. Question
able varieties are often recognized
on the list. and In a measure encour-
agement Is Indirectly given to the
mixing Of varieties. Competitive po-
tato exhibits have been encouraged by
the college of agriculture. and form
of special premium list has been
adopted. This list is submitted and
recommended as a substitute for the
lists generally used a. county fairs
or special potato exhibits.
Rules and Glasses.
1. Potatoes should be exhibited in
one-half bushel lots Not less than
one peck will be accepted.
2. All potatoes must be grown by
the person making the exhibit.
8. Not more than one premium will
be awarded to any exhibitor on the
same variety In one class.
4. At the discretion of the judge
unworthy exhibits may be excluded
from premiums regardless of compe-
tition.
Class BEST sample of each of the
following standard varieties: Rural

bier.
First premium, three bushels stand
ard seed, or cash.
Second premium, two bushels stand
ard seed, or cash.
Third premium, one bushel stand
ard seed, or cash.
The horticultural department has
distributed great deal of seed in the
potato sections and this seed has been
used to advantage as premiums on
the competitive exhibits. Commercial
interests have usually cooperated by
Offering either cash or merchandise
premiums on exhibits.

A COLLECTION OF SANDWICHES.

An unusual way of serving olives at
teas and receptions is to cut the olives
from the stones, chop fine and mix
with salad dressing. Spread this on
thin slices of buttered bread, form the
sandwiches and cut In squares.
Stuffed olives are very good prepared
in this way.
There is something about sardine
sandwich which is especially appetite
ing. Bone the fish and mix with lit
tie lemon juice and salad dressing or
with chopped hard cooked eggs A
sour pickle chopped fine instead of the
lemon is pleasant change.
Veal Sandwiches.-These are al
most as good as chicken and if the
veal can be cooked with some chick
en- bones or a little chicken stock.
they can hardly be told from chicken.
When the meat is tender, put 1T
through the meat chopper, season with
salt, pepper, and add little salad
dressing to make 1t sufficiently moist.
Spread on buttered bread.
Ego and Curry SandWlches.-Put
through the fine knife of the meat
chopper three yolks Of hard cooked
eggs and a teaspoonful Of. bread
crumbs. Season\with tablespoonful
OF curry powder, one-half teaspoonful
of salt, one teaspoonful of Worcester
shire sauce and moisten with little
lemon juice. Spread on buttered
slices of bread Garnish with nastur-
tlum leaves and blossoms
Ham Sandwiches.-Put a pound and
a half Of ham, cold boiled, and a small
sour pickle through food chopper,
add tablespoonful Of made mustard,
a dash of pepper and two tablespoon
fuls OF butter. Mix thoroughly and
spread on buttered bread.
