HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Tankaqe as a Hoo Food.

Tankage is one OF the best known
materials for balancing up ration
for hogs and for preventing the de-
PRAYED appetite which is the cause of
pig eating. 1t is very concentrated
feed and should find a place on every
farm where hogs are kept. We still
have inquiries, however, from farmers
who have never used it. as well as
positive statements in regard to the
possibility Of hog cholera and other
diseases being transmitted and dis
seminated through the tankage. says
the Kansas Farmer. Let us say again
that there is no possibility Of hog
cholera or any other disease being
transmitted in the tankage itself I'M
less. Of course. the tankage should
have become contaminated after leav-
ing the packing house. Tankage is
composed Of refuse of packing house
animals aid even of the bodies of
those which may have died of disease,
but this material is so thoroughly
cooked under heavy steam pressure
that there is absolutely no chance Of
any germs remaining alive in it.

EnsiIage For Sheep.

Years ago shepherds used to object
very strenuously to the use of silage
for their focks, asserting that it caus-
ed collie. scours and other intestinal dis
turbances of one sort and another.
No doubt it did, for the the silage of
early days was an extremely watery
and acid product, being made. as 1t
was, from immature corn. Since silage
making methods have improved aud
silage has become a dried, sweeter
product one practically never hears
a complaint registered against it for
sheep feeding purposes. Feeders all
over the country are using it, and u.s.
ing it extensively. Silage intended to
be used for sheep should be cut up
extremely fine. as they will not eat
coarse feed

Railroad Rumors From North of Us

The following from the Nelson, B. g.,
Daily News is of interest, as showing
how our neighbors on the north are
planning additional railroad develop
ment that will affect this section:
Rossland B. c., March 10.-ln ac-
knowledging his nomination by accia-
nation as Conservative candidate for
Rossland in the forthcoming election
Lorne A. Campbell outlined railway
policy which if put through would De
vastly to the advantage of the district
The fact, he said, that the Kettle VAL
lev lines had been bonused to the eX-
tent of $40, 900 a mile for the extension
of their present line from Coldwater
Junction to Hope, distance of 5Omlles
showed that eventually the road would
be made part Of the main line system
connecting the Boundary country with
the coast. At present the extension of
the Kettle valley lines from Republic
to Spokane was being contested by the
Great Northern, and what would do the
southern portion of British Columbia
the most good would be a connection
from Kingsgate to Clagstone Junction,
at which point the Spokane Interna-
tional connected with the Idaho & Wash
ington Northern line. This line was in
operation from Clagstone to Metaline
Falls, down the Pend Oreille river to
within about ten miles of the lnterna-
tional Boundary line. The road was
located to point at the boundary line
and he felt there was no reason why the
provincial government should not be
called upon to bonus the completion of
this road from the boundary line to
Shelter Junction, either by way of the
Pend Oreillc river to Waneta, thence to
Sayward and to Trail, or, alternatiuely
from the boundary line to point where
Sheep Sreek emptied into the Salmon
river, thence to Salmo and thence to
Erie and Beaver creeks, following
Beaver creek to Rock Island, on the
Columbia river, at which point high
level bridge could be constructed in order
that minimum grade would be secured
for the connecting up with the c. P. R.
on Shelter fiat at Smelter Junction.
This connection would mean a water
grade from the Crows Nest Pass coal
fields to the Trailer smelter and the fact
that the Idaho & Washington Northern
was slated to be connected with the
Chicago; Milwaukee & ST. Paul meant
that the Trail smelter would then be
put in touch with very large area of
mineral producing country in the states
of Idaho and Washington, and, if desr-
able, ores could be gathered together in
these areas, it might possibly mean
that the mixture would be such that it
would afford a cheaper treatment of the
low grade ores developed in the Ross
land camp, of which there was an
abundance.
