results were the average prices for
corn and for hogs at the North Platte
Substation during the six years pre-
cedfng 1911. The price of corn was
Al cts. per bushel. The price Of hogs
when put into the experiment and
when taken out was $3.50 per 100 lbs.
The price of alfalfa hay was $500 per
ton, Of chopped alfalfa $1,000 per ton,
and Of alfalfa-meal $500 per ton. The
only item Of cost taken into account
Is the feed. The labor and investment,
being about equal for all lots, Is not
considered.
The corn was ground for all the
hogs. The chopped alfalfa and the
alfalfa-meal were mixed with the
ground corn All feed was moistened
In the trough. The hogs were fed from
the first Of November until the first Of
February, or three months.
The rations are arranged above &C.
cording to the profit on the pigs fat
tened on each ration The most profit
able ration, corn with alfalfa hay fed
In a rack, is at the top of the list. The
first three rations stand closely to-
gether. Corn seems to have a station
airy place between a ration Of 10 parts
alfalfa and 80 parts corn and ration
Of % parts alfalfa and rs parts corn.
With corn worth 60 cents per bushel
q ration Of one-fourth alfalfa and
three-fourths corn gives nearly the
same profit per pig fattened as a
ration of corn alone.
Where alfalfa was fed in the rack
or where chopped alfalfa or alfalfa
meal were fed in the proportion Of
one pound Of alfalfa to nine pounds Of
corn, a pound of alfalfa was worth
more than a pound of corn.
Part ii gives the results of substi-
tuting other grains and mill products
for a part Of the corn in a ration OF
corn and alfalfa for growing and fat
tening hogs. The experiments were
conducted during the summer and
winter The number of pigs in each
lot varied from 10 to 80. The prices
used In computing the results are the
average prices paid for the various
kinds of feeds during the progress of
the experiments. The results Of these
tests given very briefly are as fol-
lows:
OF the many rations tried for fat
tening hogs, none has been found the
equal of corn and a small percentage
of alfalfa.
A ration of barley and corn with al
falfa does not give as fast gain or as
much profit per hog during the grow
ing and the fattening periods as a
ration of corn and alfalfa.
The substitution of parts tankage,
s parts bone-meal. or 25 parts shorts,
for corn, In ration containing 80
parts corn and 10 parts chopped al
falfa, increases the cost of gains and

in Bulletin 121 together with data from
this Bulletin 123 indicates that the
cost Of feed to produce a 225-pound
market hog was 1886 per 100 pounds
and that keeping the hog until It
weighed 325 pounds increased the cost
to 1887 per 100 pounds. This includes
only the cost of feed and does not in
clude the cost Of labor, equipment, I'M

decreases the profit per pig during the
fattening period.
The substitution Of % parts emmer,
| barley, wheat, or milo, for corn, In a
| ration containing 90 parts corn and 10
parts chopped alfalfa, increases the
cost OF gains and decreases the profit
per hog during the fattening period,
excepting emmer, which in this test
only increased the profit per hog The
wheat increased the gains but de-
creased the profit. The emmer also
increased the gain. Barley and milo
profit. Milo was worth the same price
per bushel as barley in this test.
The results of one test indicated
that bushel of corn was worth as
much as a bushel and half Of cane
seed when fed with alfalfa for fattea-
ing hogs.
Where fall pigs were wintered and
turned on alfalfa pasture in the spring
there was more profit per pig from
those grown out largely on pasture
and then fattened than from those fed
out more quickly.
Four seasons records show that old
sows being fattened on corn and al
falfa pasture gained 2 pounds per head
daily, ate 355 pounds of corn for 100
pounds of gain. and gave a net profit
OF over 8 cents daily.

Part / gives the results OF fattening
hogs on corn and alfalfa hay. In the
experiments reported, the hogs were

were ten spring shoats used in each

November 1. when the shoats weighed
1876 pounds each, and continued for

ton Ia Given.

The relation of fat to milk Is one
dairying, says The Chemist. We do
not know why, absolutely, but we
know that COW will vary from day
to day. It Is sometimes due to fright
and unkind handling. If you take a
COW that Is ordinarily quiet and run
a needle into her, or hit her with a
club or disturb her tranquility In some
other way, the yield of milk will be
very much less for that milking. II
she has what Is called a nervous tenn
permanent, and Is a very sensitive COW,
there will be very marked differ
ence in the yield of milk, and not
nearly so much fat will be produced.
The variation In the yield of milk is
greater than the variation in the field
Of fat. l remember, writes Professor
Van Norman, the figures in one herd
In which one COW varied only four
tenths Of one per cent. In a whole
year, while another varied as much as
three per cent in her yield with no
apparent cause. Sometimes we, our.
selves, do not feel so well as we do
on other days. So of the cow. She
may be a very sensitive COW, and the
mixer may be little rougher on
some days than on others, and that
may have some effect. A multitude
Of influences are at work. The best
dairyman is the one who understands
the largest number Of them. The
tester under ordinary conditions is to
be relied on for accuracy. The varia-
ton is not a variation of the tester,
but a variation in the COW.

QUEER DOlNGS AT BALTI.
MORE.
BY a. w. MACY.

There we're some queer do
lngs at Baltimore eighty years
ago. Witness this from Grit
fith's ANNALS Of Baltimore"
published In 1898: December
IA 1929, thirty-seven persons
are drawn by one horse, In a
car, planned by Mr.. Ross Wi
mans, Of New Jersey, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at
the rate of about ten miles per
hour, or as fast as the horse
could trot or gaIlop; which was
done In the presence and to the
establishment of a multitude of
spectators, who, not having wit
messed such an exhibition could
scarcely realize the effect" And
"Peter Parley's First Book Of
History" published about the
same time, says: But the most
curious thing at Baltimore Is
the railroad. This consists of
Iron bars laid along the ground,
and made fast so that carriages
with small wheels may run
along them with facility. In this
way, each horse will be able to
draw as much as ten horses on
a common road. A part Of this
railroad ls already done, and II
you choose to take a ride upon
1t, you may do so. You will
mount carriage something like
a stage, and then you will be
drawn along by two horses at
the rate of twelve miles an
hour"

come to the school house with him
but the boy allowed he had other

boy. She attempted to quiet the
man down saying that she felt COM
