Astonished Husband,

De Wolfe Hopper tells a good story
about the domestic unhappiness of an-
other actor. The hero of the joke was
man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition Of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company in
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more appreciative of the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came ore
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petrified with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with gesture Of
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didn't
even have toll"

Ideas Of the Largest Farmer.


When David Rankin, the worlds
largest farmer, was asked to tell the
secret of his success Che began by
borrowing Sc and died worth $4,000
600, all made in farming) he answer
ed promptly: Success in farming
consists in making every minute, every
cent and every seed count. A good
workman is cheap at any price and a
shiftless, careless man is dear If he
works for nothing
Not long before he died Mr. Rankin
amplified his view. ITO make profit
the farmer, just as any other manu-
facturer, must reduce the cost of pro-
duction," he said.
I'VE farmers must not only keep
eternally at reducing the cost of pro-
duction. but plan a way to get the
most out of our product. Use your
head as well as your hands, for it is
the little savings that make up the
profits at the end of the year 1t

After about ten minutes remove the

The most certain evidence OF all
as to whether lime will prove bene-
fetal is afforded by a simple expert

follows: Lay off two square rods in

With corn plentiful and cheap, farm
ers in the corn belt will not be easily
interested in any other kind of feed
for fattening hogs and cattle, but as
the price of corn as it stands today
and with the probability that it will
steadily advance in the future, 1t is
only the part of wisdom and good
management for farmers to study the
value of other grain for feeding at
less cost. =
In many countries where corn can
not be raised the finest pork and beef
are produced from barley, other grain
and roots. In Denmark, for instance,
where the finest bacon in the world is
made, farmers feed their hogs en-
tirely on barley
Frequently In this country the price
of barley becomes very low when the
mailing demand Is oversupplied and 1t
is then that the shrewd farmer can
supplant corn with this grain and sell
his corn to better advantage than by
feeding it.
Farmers In the northwest where
barley is grown to a large extent are
becoming more interested in this
grain and the experiment stations up
there have done some excellent work
in proving its value as compared with
corn.
An experiment began by the North
Dakota station four years ago to show
the value of barley as compared with
corn for fattening hogs, has produced
some very valuable and interesting
results.
A dozen eight-month-old pigs we're
divided into two lots of six each. The
animals In each lot were uniform in
size, thrift and general condition. The
average weight of each lot was at the
beginning of the experiment, practical
ly identical, 1877 pounds.
Those in lot one were fed a ration
composed of four parts ground barley,
and one part of shorts by weight. The
pigs in lot two were given four parts
of ground corn and one part of shorts.
The pigs were fed for period of SO
days, the grain being soaked in wa
ter and fed in the form of a thick
slop
The feeding value of a pound OF
corn proved to be Is per cent greater
than pound of barley, but much of
the barley was inferior in quality and

+, If it would have been good, sound
grain, might have made a better
| showing. The difference in price Of
about seven cents per bushel between
| barley and corn must also be taken
| into consideration
| The wisconsin station, which has a
! fine reputation for careful feeding in
| vestigations, some years ago made a
| test between corn and barley and re-
| ported that the value Of corn was only
eight per cent greater than that of
barley. The barley was figured at 48
cents bushel, corn at So cents and
shorts at $14 per ton. The hogs in
this test sold at $500 per hundred,
the barley fed hogs netting profit
of $1.00 per hundred pounds and the
corn fed hogs netted $1.89.
In this test the price of barley at
4S cents was too high as that was the
regular price for best grade mailing
barley while the average price of
common barley was 81 cents per bush
ell. Taking these figures it would
have been cheaper to feed barley and
sell corn.
Investigations that these two sta
tions have made shows that barley
makes more lean meat than corn. OF
course corn Is the greatest fattener
| In the world when fed to hogs, but a
better grade of bacon can be produced
| by feeding barley than corn.
When hogs are fed for weight alone
there is no doubt that corn has the
slightest advantage, but where bacon
Is produced for the best special mar
kets barley will turn out the best
] product. The result of the two ex.
periments show:
That it required Is per cent more
barley by weight than corn to produce
the same gain in feeding pigs when
both grains were fed in the proportion
of four parts of grain to one of shorts
by weight.
That 1t is profitable to feed barley
to hogs if pork Is selling at an aver
age price.
That the carcasses Of the pigs fed
barley and shorts showed greater
distribution of lean and drmer flesh
than the carcasses of pigs fed corn
and shorts
/ That pigs fed on corn and shorts
will dress higher per cent than pigs
fed on barley and shorts.
