V. M. I. War Damage Claim Bills
Before Congress

Ii the bills introduced yesterday
in the United States Senate by SEN
ator Henry A. du Pont OF Delaware
and in the House OF Rspresen taaives
by Representative ii ID. Flood of
Virginia pass Congress. the Virgin.
ia Military Institute will receive
compensation for damage to proper
ty destroyed by Federal troops
during the Civil War. The bills
provide for an appropriation of
$214, 723. 81 to reimburse the insti-
tuition for damage to it's barracks
and destruction of it's library, scien-
tifc apparatus and professors
quarters on June IL, 1864, by order
of General Hunter, commanding the
Federal forces who raided the Val
ley of Virginia and burned the in
situation.
The account for damages was pre-
pared by General f. w. Nichols, toe
present superintendent. He found
that no contracts were made for the
reconstruction of any of the build
ings after the war, since the work
was done by day lobor, and the cost
charged to the building account"
Senator du Points connection with
the efforts being made is most inter
esting. He was ia command OF the
artillery with General Hunter, and
along with most of that command
er's officers, tried to dissuade him
from burning the Virginia Military
Institute. Another of these officers
who aided his eLtreaties was Lieu
tenant William Mckinley, later
President of the United States. 1t is
said to be due to the request OF
Colonel (then Captain du Pont that
the raiders spared the superinten-
dents house, where a daughter OF
General Smith lay ill.
The first effort to get money from
Congress was made by General
Smith in the seventies, but he soon
found that be was far ahead of the
times. The fight was taken up by
General Scott Ship in the nineties,
with but little encouragement. Now
a Northern Sens tor and Federal
officer is leading the move.

GOOD CROPS FOR PIGS
Interesting Report Of EXperi'
mentS at Arkansas Station.
Result Shows Pork Can Be Prottsell
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 sum
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 reIished 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 q 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
we're grown on a 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 we're confined in
a movable pen while grazing. A grade
Poland-China SOW with five pigs was
turned into the rye March o. The
rye had been sown the fall previous
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 n week the pigs we're put on red
clover, which was In its second year
The pigs grazed over it 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 ratA.
er hard Late In September two Of
the pigs were put on sweet potatoes
and three on peanuts. The sweet DO
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
