f!table forages for swine and should be
used more often.
Bluegrass Pasture.
The best results are obtained with
bluegrass before August and after the
fall rains, since bluegrass goes into a
resting stage during the dry weather
OF late summer. To successfully finish
hogs on bluegrass requires Lie feeding
of more grain per 100 pounds live
weight than on clover, alfalfa or rape
and oats pasture. The grain ration:
should be az to per cent of the live
weight of tie hogs.
There have been four trials with
bluegrass. During the first two
straight corn was fed. During the last
two trials the ration consisted of corn
six parts and oilmeal one part. This is
considered better than corn alone. For
the four trials one acre of bluegrass
supported an average of 1875 head of
hogs for 142 days. The amount of pork
accredited to the forage was 252.5
pounds. or return of $15.18 per acre,
figuring the pork at Sc cents per
pound.
Economy of Forage Crops.
The average amount of grain re-
quired to produce pound of gain
with five dry-lot experiments, where a
well-balanced ration was fed, was GIL
pounds. With the four forage crops
mentioned above, the average amount
was 3.49 pounds. In other words, a
saving of little more than 80 Der
cent of the grain was effected by the
use of forage crops.
The advantage Of feeding the crop
on the land should also be considered
in figuring the economy Of forage
crops. .
While the kind Of grain to feed is
important, the amount of grain ID of

determining the economy of gains. II

that the best forage crops ares little

ghum or rye, the corn was supple
men'ed with linseed oilmeal, the ra-
ton being made up of six parts of
corn to one part of oilmeal.
Alfalfa Forage.
Where alfalfa can be grown success
fully there is probably no forage crop
that will give better results for swine
feeding. An acre of alfalfa will pas
-ture during the grazing season from
ten to twenty shoats. The important
point to be observed is not to pasture
too closely. Best results are obtained
by SO pasturing that one or two cut
tings Of hay may be taken off the field
in addition to the amount fOraged off
by the hogs. At this station alfalfa
with one years trial pastured twelve
head for 16S days. The amount of
grain fed was about one-half of full
feed. 1t required 307 pounds of grain
to produce one pound of gain, as con-
trasted to five or six pounds if grain
had been fed alone in dry lot. The
gain accredited the forage was 597
pounds, which, with pork at cents,
gave return of 1852 per acre.
Glover Pasture.
Red clover probably ranks next to
alfalfa. 1t will not feed SO many hogs
per acre, and does not furnish pasture
for SO long period as alfalfa. Re-
suits at this station, however, show 1t
to be one of the best forages. In two
trials, one acre of clover pastured
eleven head for 1870 days. The amount
of grain per pound gain was 297. The
gain accredited to forage in this case
was 572 pounds, or, with pork at 6
cents, the. return from an acre of
clover was $34.32.
In pasturing the clover care should
be taken not to turn in on 1t before 1t
Is ten to twelve inches high. 1t should
not at any time be pastured too
closely.
Rape Pasture.
The annual forage crop which has
given best results at this station is
rape in which has been sown q few
oats. Rape may be sown ~ early IA

per acre, and where manure has been
added in the corn, wheat and clover
rotation the yield is 776 bushels per
acre.
Growing Lesumlnous Crops.
Crop rotation alone, however, will
not maintain the humus supply, nor
the fertility indefinitely. This is only
the first essential. The rotation must
include wide use of leguminous
crops, both as regular and as catch
crops thrown in for pasture or green
manure. Such crops are usually
known as humus-building crops, be-
cause in order to build up humus In
soil nitrogen is necessary, and these
plants have the ability to secure it
from the air. They do not depend
upon the soil nitrogen for making the
vegetable matter of which they are
composed. If these crops are removed
from the land, however, the humus
actually added to the soil is small, al
though since the soil is not stirred
while these crops are on the land
they tend to maintain it.
To build up the humus rapidly in a
soil,I it is necessary that these crops
be pastured or fed and the manure
returned; or, better still, that occa-
sionally crops be turned under. It is
seldom advisable to turn under a reg
ular crop of green manure, but catch
crops should be used for this purpose.
Cowpeas or sofa beans may be sown
in the corn at the last cultivation. or
sown after regular crop of oats or
wheat, and either pastured off or
turned under to add humus. Peas
may also be planted with the corn
with a pea attachment to the planter,
and the peas and lower blades of corn
removed by sheep, or the peas and
corn pastured off together. The peas
may be harvested with the corn and
used for silage or fed with the fodder,
though a greater fertilizing value will
be had if the peas are pastured or
turned under.
It can readily be seen, therefore,
that to maintain the humus supply Of
a soil absolutely, and especially II the
humus is to be built up, it is neces-
sary to make wide use of legumin-
Gus crops to be pastured, or turned
under. unless feed or manure is
brought in from sources outside ones
farm. The grain farmer who makes
little manure and sells the bull. of his
crops, from the land must resort to
the turning under of leguminous crops
IL the humus supply is to be main
tanned.

much to do with the decreasing pro-
important reason for this condition
however, is the reduced supply of
humus, which lessons the available
plant food, allows the soil to become
hard and compact and increases the
amount of surface washing.
How Restore Vegetable Matter?
Since humus, then, is of much i'm
portance, and since the decreased pro.
ductiveness of worn lands is largely
due to the depletion of their humus,
naturally the first step to take in
building up these worn lands is to re-
store the vegetable matter. Likewise
the man who is thinking of the future,
and who is determined to make his
soils better from year to year, instead
of allowing them to wear out, will
manage his soil in such a way as to
conserve this important ingredient.
This vegetable matter must be re-
stored either by the application of
manure or the turning under of other
organic matter, such as weeds, grass,
cornstalks, ETC., or the growing of spe-
cial crops for green manuring.-
use of manure Is, of course. of first
importance, for it will not only sup
ply organic matter, but will at the
same time add considerable quantities
of soluble plant food.
Some system of live stock farming
where the crops produced can be fed
and the manure carefully saved and
returned to the land will be found
the most economical method of farm
ing for maintaining the humus. Where
the manure supply is limited. how
ever, as is the case on most farms,
the use of green manures will be the
cheapest source of vegetable matter.
Any kind OF vegetable matter turned
under will help. AS general rule,
man should never burn off any crop
residue, but turn them under to add
humus.
Since humus is SO rapidly removed
from the soil by cropping, it is necec-
sary that some means be provided for
replacing it. The first essential to
the maintenance of the vegetable mat.
ter is the adoption Of a systematic 70.
tation Of crops that includes q wide
use Of such crops a. clover. cowpeas
and sofa beans. Even a small grain
crop. alternated with corn, will main.
tain the humus supply much longer
than where corn 10 grown continuous
", but where legumes are used the
supply Of humus 10 much more easily
maintained.

WILD BEASTS AS FIGHTERS.
Lion the Most Dangerous Animal for
Huntsmen.

Theodore Roosevelt, In Scribners Magazine,
Taking the average of individuals and
the average of surrounding circum-
stances. l consider the lion more dan
gerous to the hunter than any other
game. The leopard Is an even greater
adept at hiding. Is even quicker and
more reckless in its charge. and is small
err and more difficult to hit; therefore
consider that fighting leopard is trifie
more likely than lion to get home when
it charges: but 1t Is SO much smaller and
less powerful that 1t Is far less likely to
kill it's antagonist-very few hunters have
been killed, although many have been
mauled. by Ieopards-and few good
dogs will not only stop but themselves
kill a leopard, SO that with dogs 1t can
be hunted with entire impunity. Under
many. perhaps most. conditions. a fight
ing bull buffalo offers a rather harder
proposition than fighting lion. because
ant TO charge as lion, and is far more
difficult to stop when ne does charge, and
because he usually shows the most vim
dictive and ferocious resolution when
after being wounded he finally makes up
his mind to fight: but under ordinary cir
cumstances buffalo Is not nearly as
ant to charge as lion. and is far more
movements and in most cover is more
easily evaded: that on an average
do not consider that the buffalo is as
dangerous Elephant are much more
apt to charge than buffalo; herd will
charge under circumstances when even
lions would stink quietly Off: and in con-
sequence to hunt them seems to me
about as dangerous as to hunt buffalo,
but the actual charge of single ele-
phant does not seem as dangerous as the
actual charge of q lion or buffalo. The
rhinoceros I regard as on the average
much less dangerous than lion, leopard,
elephant or buffalo: in fact. as only
about as dangerous as. or very little
more dangerous than. the grizzly bear.
But it must be remembered that these
are only my personal Views. and while
I believe that they are shared by the
majority of the big-game hunters most
competent to speak on the subject 1 am
we'll aware that many equally expert
enced and observing hunters are on rec
ord as expressing widely different views.

Senator Clapp Denounces Arrests for
Hopping" Street Cars.

Senator Clapp of Minnesota is the
champion and friend of the little news
boys who sell papers on Capitol Hill. He
went to the Juvenile Court today to de-
fend two urchins who were arrested for
hopping street cars as they passed the
Senate office building.
1.-The arrest was highhanded." said the
senator today. Il am sure that when l
was a boy l would have done such things
and / don't believe l should have been
arrested for them
The Juvenile Court was not in session
today. and Senator Clapp will go again
Monday to urge the cause of the news
boys. He has always taken a friendly
interest in the band of youngsters who
sell papers around the Capitol. Frequent
1y, when the boys have fought among
themselves, the senator has interfered
in the cause of justice. particularly when
some boy smaller than the others was
imposed upon.

INSPECT DESPITE RAIN.
District Commissioners Go Over Viii
low Tree Alley Reservation.

The District Commissioners this morn-
ing made final inspection of Willow
Tree alley, between Sd and Az. and Is
and C. streets southwest, which is to be
made into an interior park and placed
under the supervision of the Office of
public buildings and grounds. The pur-
pose of the inspection was to determine
whether Sidney J.. Heckinger, who was
given the award for removing the build
ings from the alley, had fully complied
with the contract. 1t was announced
that a two-hundred- dollar deposit put
up by Mr. Heckinger will be returned to
him.
Congress appropriated $1s,5OO for the
conversion of the alley into a park, and
of this amount there remains unexpend-
ed x16,GeO, which will be used in con-
structing sidewalks and beautifying the
grounds.
