YF YOU expect to make pork eco
nomically and make it lit ought
to be made in every other way,
you will have to have pasture-forage
crops. Hogs are naturally grazers,
and the hogs which have had succulent
food almost constantly available are
the ones producing pork for the least
money. They are almost invariably
the most thrifty and healthy and have
made their gains on smaller amount
of grain than the hog which has been
confined to drylot feeding through a
considerable portion of its life.
Farmers with alfalfa and plenty OF
hog fences have admirable conditions
for producing pork at minimum cost.
Many farmers are still without alfalfa
and therefore must depend on other
crops for hog pasture. Even the farm
ers with alfalfa can often make profit
able use of annual forage crops for
pasture.
Rape-Rape is one of the most salts
factory early pastures for hogs and
should be used far more than 1t is. At

Meat-BearInu Tree.

In Mexico grows a tree called the
Avocado, whose pear-shaped fruit is
reputed to be composed Of the sub
stances which are to be found in meat
It contains about twenty per cent. OF
fat and many other ingredients OF
great food value, and one good-sized
meat" pear is quite sufficient to make
q meal for the average man.
The reason why the fruit is 80 little
known at present Is because 1t lie
grown nowhere on a large scale. what
few trees there are grow round the
huts OF the natives, where they -four

DAYTON Has Had Six Floods.

Dayton, O., has stood in the shadow
Of disaster from food ever since Its
foundation. No less than six times
previous to the present inundation
have the rivers which flow through it
left their accustomed courses and
brought death and destruction OF
property upon the town. The first OF
these foods occurred in 1905, the very
year that Dayton was incorporated as
a town. The sixth was In 1898 and
the others in the years 1s47, 1863. 1866
and 1885.

combination with proper grain rations.
1t is very low in crude fiber, whic>
makes it especially adapted to the
digestive system OF the hog. Careful
analyses made at the Ohio station
show that in proportion TO the total
dry matter in the plant it contains
higher per cent OF protein than clover.
Soybean, hay or even alfalfa. An acre
of rape will pasture IS to 20 hogs for
two or three months. 1t is a cool

in the spring. 1t produces a rank
growth of large succulent leaves, grow
ing 20 to 30 inches in height. 1t does
best or rich, heavily MANFRED soils
and can be used to great advantage in
feed lots which have been used
through the winter season. The ground
should be carefully plowed and well
pulverized. The seed may be drilled
in rows 20 to 80 inches apart at the
rate OF two or three pounds of seed
per acre, or sown broadcast at the
rate of four to six pounds of seed per
acre. Grown in rows it may be given
some cultivation, which is an advan-
tage in foul land, and in grazing 1t
down the hogs will not trample and
destroy as much as where sown broad

disease is produced by the rape plant.
This difficulty has been observed to
occur with other rank forage plants
as well as with rape. 1t probably is
due TO the pigs running in the rape, or
other plant, when it is covered with
out afterwards, resulting in a scalding
of the skin. We have had practically
no trouble of this kind at the expert

Rape in Mixtures-Rape and oats
are often used together for an early
pasture for hogs. At the Missouri en-
pertinent station it has given one OF
the most highly productive spring pas
lures ever used. They may be seeded
at the same time or the rape may be
broadcasted after the oats are up and
narrowed lightly to cover. At the
Michigan experiment station splendid
results were secured by sowing broad
cast rape and millet, mixed equal
parts, using pint of each per acre.
A mixture OF corn, oats and Canadian
field peas in equal parts was then
drilled in at the usual depth this oper-
alton covering the rape and millet
already sown.

Soda Lake In Africa.

In English East Africa is the rich
est bed of soda in the world. Ensi-
neers say that it contains 200,000,000
tons. The lake has surface of moro
than so square kilometers. During
the rainy season, which in this local
fly is short, its surface is covered
with shallow layer of water. When
a block of soda is taken out, another
forms, and the natives say that this
occurs so quickly that an equal
amount of soda may be distracted for
a number of years from the same
place.-Harper's Weekly.

scoundrels, destined for garrison duty

and, with an expression of forced
gayety, mounted the bridge, and the
vessel departed.

himself looking into the mouth of a

COUNCIL LEy|fS
 SEWER BENEFITS FIRE LIMITS EXTENDED TWO ORDINANCES PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL AT A BUSY
 SESSION.

The passage of ordinances lowing assessments of benefits for Sewer I'm provement District No. l of Conway and extending the fire limits, were features of busy session of the city council last night. Both ordinances were read three times under a suspen- sion of the rules and passed unani- mously, all members of the council be- ing present except Alderman A. J.. Meadors, who is in Chicago.
 The sewer assessment ordinance provides for the collection of per cent of the total benefits assessed the first year, the assessments falling due on March 1 each year; 7-10 per cent each year from 1915 to 1921, inclu- sive; and ) IA per cent each year from 1922 to 1883, inclusive, making total of 86 per cent of the benefits fixed by the board of assessors to be collected during the period of 20 years It is explained in connection with the ordinance that it is expected to pay only the interest on the sewer bonds for the first eight years, but as the interest is payable semi it will be necessary to collect interest for year and half the first time. In 1922, when the last of the water works bonds will have been retired, payments will be collected to retire a certain portion of the principal of the sewer bonds until 1883, when all will have been paid off. The sewer tax, it is stated, will average less than one- third the waterworks tax the first years, less than ne-fourth for the next eight years and less than one- half the remainder of the time, thus distributing the hr~dea Of the i'm provement district taxes to the best advantage of the taxpayers.
 The council also passed an ordi- nance extending the fire limits to in- clude all lots between Front street and the railroad right-of way as far north as Mill street.
 A resolution was adopted requiring property owners in the street paving district to install water connections before the pavement is laid.
 The city attorney was instructed to proceed to collect all delinquent side walk accounts.
 The usual fve-mill city tax was levied.
