every once in while the housewife
may fall back on bananas. tempting
banana dessert for a warm day is the
following charlotte: Dissolve two heap

mixture in ice water and stir until 1t

By f. ]. IDDINGS. Idaho Experiment
Station)
How to prepare feeds for hogs to
secure the greatest economy is a
question frequently asked by hog
raisers.
Corn should be fed on the cob.
Where shelled corn is bought it
should be ground or soaked The
Iowa experiment station after exhast-
i've trials found that feeding on the
cob was most economical and that
soaking for twelve hours was equal to
grinding.
Such small grains as wheat. bar
ley, oats and rye are commonly fed
in Idaho and other northwestern
states. The outer layers of these
grains become very hard after a few
months. and when such hard, flinty
grains are fed to hogs large part of
them pass through the digestive tract
whole as waste.
Hogs can be induced to do their
own grinding by scattering grain on
a rough concrete or other feeding
floor, or by feeding grain in the
sheaf. Ordinarily. however, we have
to grind, roll or soak the small
grains. Coarse grinding which leaves
hard sharp cornered pieces is not rec
commended. Grains must be ground
fine, especially for young pigs. Roll
ing grains leaves them in a porous
condition, and when taken into the
stomach they make a porous mass
upon which the digestive juices can
easily act. Grinding or rolling ordi-
narily saves about ten per cent.
Considerable difference of opinion
exists as to advisability of wetting

TABLE BIRDS OF
The RIGHT QUALITY
Houdan Males Take Kindly to
Fattening Process and Flesh
Up Rapidly.

Houdan males are good breeders.
and seldom fail to produce chickens
that grow without much trouble. and
when the time arrives for the separa-
ton OF the sexes the cockerels will
take kindly to the fattening process
and put on flesh rapidly. and make up
into table birds of good quality. The
flesh Of the Houdan is of good color.
fine In grain. juicy and of fine flavor,
and on that account 1t has gained for
itself the premier position as a table
bird In its native country. The breed
has been used with advantage In the
production of cross-bred fowls both for
table use and egg production. To
reproduce fine table birds Houdan
males are mated to bun Orpingtons,
whilst to produce good laying cross.
Houdan cockerels are mated to Leg
horn or Minorca hens. The Houdan-
j hite Leghorn is undoubtedly the best
cross known for egg production. and
the crossing of these two distinct
breeds not only accounts for increased
prolificacy in the progeny, but the
process Of crossing improves the fat
tening qualities of the cockerels pro-
duced. 1t may be truly said that the
Houdan is capable of improving the
progeny of most fowls with which 1t
is crossed, and on that account 1t is
an excellent breed to turn down with
view to tho improvement Of farm
stock Of a nondescript class. A few
male Houdans mated to mongrel
hens will stamp their likeness on
the progeny, and not only will the
chickens produced excel over their
dams meat properties. but they will
prov, better layers.

feeds for hogs. The self-feeder is sue.
cessful If regulated to prevent waste;
and when used feeds are, OF course,
fed dry. When rations are given IN
trough, our experience at the Idaho
experiment station indicates an ad
vantage from wetting feeds. Dry and
1oury feeds need much liquid to
gestive juices are hardly sufficient
for this purpose; furthermore, wet
ting makes feeds more bulky, thereby
preventing rapid eating, and when
fed in this rather bulky, wet form
they satisfy the appetites of the older
hogs for bulk.
Cooking and steaming were com
mon few years ago, but are now no
longer popular. 1t has been found
that cooking tends to lessen the feed
ing value of some grains; and in most
cases does not bring enough benefits
to pay for fuel and time. Exceptions
to this rule are potatoes and beans,
which give best results when cooked.
Alfalfa hay is cheap in the north
west, and can be successfully used for
a large portion of the brood sow's
winter ration, and as a small part
of the allowance for fattening hogs.
Experiments at the Idaho station in
dictate that alfalfa can be fed whole
in a rack with greatest ecoI.omy.
After exhaustive trials the Nebraska
experiment station found thai alfalfa
fed whole was slightly more economi-
cal than cutting or chopping it into
short lengths. and that grinding fine
into meal as compared with the other
methods of feeding alfalfa was not
so profitable on the farm.

LEFT THE ATTORNEY SMILING
Probably Judge, with Little Thought,
Would Have Expressed Himself
in Somewhat Different Manner.

There was at one time in Georgia a
judge who had many duties beside his
legal ones to perform, but who never
for a moment forgot that he EN-
bodied the law" under any and all cir
cumstances.
On one occasion he was called upon
to act as auctioneer to dispose of
some merchandise left by dry goods
merchant who had died some time be-
fore.
During the auction one of the bid
ders created disturbance, and finally
the exasperated auctioneer. assuming
his character as judge, fined the man
$50, and sent him to Jail for contempt
of court.
An attorney made an application to
remit the fine and release the prisoner,
on the grounds that there had been
no contempt of court. He maintained
that the judge when acting as auc-
tioneer was not court, and therefore
was not liable to contempt
The judge heard this application
presented with rising wrath, and as
Stunning all the dignity which he pos
sessed. he glanced fiercely down upon
the diminutive attorney.
