MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM.
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

II Is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use OF the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific ant
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type az the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England tc
Montreal. and her sister ship Will be
launched early next year.
IL is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be allow In following
the example OF the other big concerns
as II In a matter OF common belief that
Canada. more than any other in the
world, will be the country Of the fu'
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An Official of one OF the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
Is the two-cabin boat. having accom-,
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
We do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," no said, but the business
that Is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative. and for the next
ten years tho eyes OF the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada The
Panama Canal undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot of attention, but the busi-
ness In that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama Will de-
yelop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide OF immigration that Is being d.
verified from the United States to the
Dominion.
THE farm land OF the vast North
West is the attraction, and while this
food of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises q
strict censorship over the class OF i'm
migrants admitted. In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the peo-
pie OF Southern Europe."-Advertise-

fltable forages for swine and should be
used more often.
Bluegrass Pasture.
The best results are obtained with
bluegrass before August and after tho
fall rains, since bluegrass goes into 4
resting stage during the dry weather
OF late summer To successfully finish
hogs on bluegrass requires tue feeding
Of more grain per 100 pounds live
weight than on clover, alfalfa or rape
and oats pasture, The grain ration
should be 2R to 3 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 consl Sted 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 l2.5 head OF
hogs for li2 days. The amount of porR
accredited TO the forage was 2j2 ;
pounds, or n return of S15.1S per acre
figuring the pork at Sc cents PEI
pound.
Economy Of Forage Crops.
The average amount OF grain re
quired to produce pound of gain
with five dry.lot experiments, where O
well-balanced ration was fed, was 5.1l
pounds. With the four forage crops
mentioned above, the average amount
was $40 pounds In other words, q
saving of a little more than 80 per
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 is OF
equal, II not greater importance in
determining the economy of gains. II
has been shown at different stations
that the best forage crops are little
more than maintenance ration. II
gains are to be obtained, then, 1t is
necessary to feed some grain. Expert
ments indicate that the greatest econ
omy of grain is obtained when one and
one-half TO two pounds OF grain are
fed daily for each 100 pounds of live
weight. The best general rule is to
feed the hogs enough grain to cause
daily gain OF three.fourths OF a
pound for each 100 pounds live
weight.

ghum or rye, the corn was supple
mcnted with linseed oilmeal, the ra-
ton being made up of six parts of
corn TO one part Of olmcal.
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
:ure during the grazing season from
ten to twenty shOats. The important
point to be observed is not to pasture
100 closely. Best results are obtained
by 80 pasturing that one or two cut.
tings Of hay may be taken off the field
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 u full
feed. II 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 a dry lot The
gain accredited the forage was 597
pounds. which, with pork at cents,
gave a return OF s35S2 per acre.
Glover Pasture.
Red clover probably ranks next to
alfalfa. 1t viii not feed so many hogs
per acre, and does not furnish pasture
for 80 long a 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 2.97, The
gain accredited to forage in this case
was 572 pounds, or, with pork at 6
cents, the return fom an acre of
clover was S34.S2.
In pasturing the clover care should
be taken not to turn in on II before It
rs ten to twelve inches high. II 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 few
oats. Rape may be sown as early In
the spring as the ground can he
worked, or about the same time that
oats would be sown. II IL rapid.

is well adapted for swine pasture. The

this purpose. Good results have been
obtained by sowing five or six pounds

It may be said unqualifiedly that

finally cease to be what It ia today.
The time will most surely come when
the sun will have ceased to throw of

planets will have become dead

sort upon them. 1t has been calcu.
lated that the sun will cease to throw

The hotbed is usually made six feet

The important feature about the
sash is to have the bars as small and
as far apart as possible without max

used with small glasses will shut out

OF grain in dry.lot feeding to make a

produced most cheaply by feeding

WHY DO HOGS LIKE COAL?

1t is supposed that material of a
gritty nature passing through the
stomach and intestines of hogs helps
to stimulate the flow of digestive
juices. Coal is not digested, but acts
as an absorbant and as stimulant,
1t probably makes life miserable for
stomach and intertinal worms. Char.
coal is also appreciated by hogs and
acts much In the same way as coal.
