Feeding Potatoes to Swine

On account of the heavy potato crop
and the low market price, many people
are asking about the value of spuds for
stock feed. The Animal Husbandry
Division of the State College at Pullman
has received daily during the last few
weeks several inquiries of this sort.
On account of their large water Icon-
tent, potatoes alone are not suitable for
feeding swine. Experimental results at
many stations have shown that one
pound of grain is equal to about four
pounds of cooked potatoes or four and
one-half pounds of potatoes raw. On
this basis anyone can figure out the
probable return of potatoes when fed to
hogs. They must be fed with grain to
return satisfactory eresults. Probably
not more than four pounds of potatoes
should be used for each pound of grain
where rapid gains are desired.
AS is well known, potatoes should be
cooked, using as little water as possible,
MASKING them and mixing in the grain
while the potatoes are hot. A little
salt should be added and the mixture
fed to the hogs while still warm. If the
grain is corn or barley, the addition of
some tankage should increase the gains
and decrease slightly their cost.

Quired in the catalogue? 1t is well to

too few per minute. and it is just as
easy to lose considera BILE butter fat by

SCHOOL BOARD BEGIN CANVASS RAISE FUNDS FOR SCHOOL RESPONSE HAS BEEN MOST CORDIAL, ACCORDING TO
 COMMITTEE.

The committee appointed by the school board to raise the necessary funds to supplement the district and state funds for the maintenance of the Conway public school another year has begun it's work. The re- sponse, on the whole, from those al ready seen, has been most cordial Some of the usual difficulties of ac- complishing such an undertaking however, have already been met with. This is not to criticise any in dlvidnal, but the thing that seems to put the severest limitations on the Willingness of some to give to this most worthy public enterprise tor ne cesaity) IS that they will reap no di- ffect personal benefit from the school because they have, or will have, no children in the school another year.
 It does not require an argument to convince any public-spirited man that G1e greatest assets of any community are it's educational interests, most fundamental and important of which Is the public school. It does not mat ter whether a man is patron of the school or not, he shares both directly and indirectly in all the benefits that come to the community through the school.
 Conway holds well deserved rep utation throughout the state for the excellence of her schools, but her pub lie school has been hampered for ] some time on account of crowded classes and a shorter school term than most schools in towns of this size enjoy. And because the school revenues have not been sufficient to meet the running expenses of the school and pay maturing bonds on the new building, the shortage has reached such proportions that some thing has to be done to relieve the situation and at the same time con- tinue the school uninterruptedly with an additional teacher added to the faculty. Let no one, therefore feel that he is not interested in the pub lie school, for everyone does share in whatever good comes to the town through the school. But, on the oth- CT hand, let everyone realize that he owes debt to the community as a whole that he can pay in no better way than by aiding in the strength ening and betterment of the school, by giving, to the extent of his ability to tide the school over the present stringent crisis in it's onward prog ress toward better and larger ser vice to the present and future gener- ations of Conway's citizens.
