MIXED DIET FOR THE HOGS

The Investigators at the Missouri

Of withholding it from any animal

soy beans.
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animal becomes very fat and chubby
and does not develop properly: the
bones are brittle and easily broken.
Sixty-Eve hogs were used in this
experiment and they We're divided into
lots Of five each. Twelve different
rations were used with corn alone IN
two Of them and corn supplemented
with some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corr and linseed

ALFALFA SEED YIELD
One Plant Made Exceptionally Fine
Growth q Leafy Stems-Soil Con-
ditions important.

By r. II. BLINN, Colorado Agricultural
College.)
A fine alfalfa plant, after running
the gauntlet of a hundred thousand
visitors, many OF whom examined the
pods, TO see if the seed had filed"
and being shipper three times acros
the state by a local freight or ex-
press, and then travelling over near
~ all the railroads Of the state with
the demonstration train, yielded 1928
grams Of clean seed, equivalent to
ga ounces Of seed from the n
plant.
The plant was found in a field of
Baltic alfalfa, grown at the expert
ment station at Rocky Ford, the
field was sown in 1911 in twenty.
inch rows for seed production, the
year 1911. and was left to grow seed,
the season was favorable for seed
yield, and the field averaged less
than fifty pounds Of seed to the acre,
yet this one plant, in the midst of the
field surrounded by thousands Of
pidhto did'I Ao S&1iS
which failed to produce seed salts
f~actcrily, made an exceptional
growth Of fine leafy stems and set
such an enormous yield of seed.
Sixty grams of the seed from this
plant have been used to seed a tenth
acre plot for increase at Rocky Ford,
and also a row in the comparative
nursery test that comprises other
choice selections. Thirty grams Of the
seed have beenssent to the station at
Fort Collins to test out in that Sec
ton of the state.
The work of selecting choice indi-
vidual plants is resulting in a decided
improvement Of the type Of alfalfa,
not only for seed alone, but fine
quality and a large production OF
forage.
The question OF seed production
seems to depend on more care in Sc
lecting soil conditions adapted to reg
ulating moisture supply SO as to
make a slow dwarfed growth, yet in
surfing moisture to set and fill the
| seed.

Track Made Flower Garden.

The Romney branch of one of the
largest railroads of the state is SO pro-
fusely blooming with flowers for %
miles that trains are moving along the
line with difficulty, says the New York
Sun.
The abundance of flowers came
about through the breaking Of two
boards in the floor of a car loaded with
nasturtium, sweet pea and morning
glory seeds several weeks ago. The
seeds were scattered along the track
for miles. Then came heavy rains
which turned the roadbed into an
elongated flower garden.
While the road is more beautiful in
appearance than usual, the posies are
interfering seriously with the schedule
and the section hands are busy trying
to kill out the unwelcome blooms.

A track walker is supposed to walk.
His title is not honorary. and his job

connective and cars.
Until recently, the company relied
solely on a card system to keep tab on
these employees. This was an excellent
incentive to good walking until some
track walker. who some day may be
president of a railroad, discovered
that a friendly station operator, with a

key registers differently from every
