Centuries ago Samson proposed a
riddle-the earliest of which history
treats--to the Philistines. allowing
them week In which to answer it. a
length of time that would have oeen
insufficient but for the assistance OF
Samson's wife.
Hiram, king of Tyre. had a mania
for constructing riddles. as also had
Solomon, and the wager OF an i'm
mense sum of money between the two
as to which could construct the most
perplexing one was won by the latter.
Archimedes. the famous mathemati
clan of Syracuse. passed most of his
leisure-to the surprise of many OF his
friends-in the production or solving
of puzzles and his discovery of how
much alloy its maker had mixed with
the gold OF King Hiero's crown was
nothing but the solution of puzzle.
The Greeks had a curious puzzle.

1t called forth much discussion from

VALUE OF POTATO
TO FATTEN PIGS
Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station Gives Re-
suits of Test.
By ROBERT wIrHYCoMB of Eastern

(By ROBERT wITHYCOhB of Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station)
An experiment to test the feeding
value of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with grain ra-
ton has been carried on with inter-
esting results.
rhe hogs in the experiment we're al
vided into eight lots and records of
the different feed given each and the
proportionate gains made were kept
carefully. Each hog in lots 1 and
ate an average of 1908 pounds of
barley and 509.53 pounds of raw po-
tatoes, making gain in weight of
60.70 pounds. Those in lots 8 and
ate 1000 pounds of barley and
663.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made a gain of 1880 pounds. while
those In lots and ate 1850
pounds barley and 564.S0 pounds
steamed potatoes and made a gain of
1910 pounds. Lots and ate 300.10
pounds barley without potatoes and
made gain of 69.5 pounds.
The last two lots. fed barley alone.
were used as a check on the others to
show more definitely the proportion
ate value Of the potatoes. At the
present market value of cents a
pound live weight. the hogs fed barley
made $3.S7 gain. which makes the
barley feeding value s1.62 to the hun
dred.
Lots l and fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate of three pounds
OF potatoes to pound of barley. made
S4.25 gain. which gives the raw
potatoes feeding value of 20 cents
to the hundred. Lots and receiv-
ing six times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley. made $494 gain.
giving the steamed potatoes feeding
value OF At cents to the hundred.
Lots 5 and fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley, made a
$5.47 gain, making the feeding value
of the potatoes AZ cents to the hun
dred.
1t is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by the
others, but it required S5.25 pounds
less barley to make this gain, so the
difference in feeding value Is ac-
counted for.
1t is also noteworthy tina. the steam
potatoes are worth 13 cents more to
| the hundred than raw for feeding, as
shown in the comparison of the gain
of animals fed the 3-to-1 ration.
