Feed other than alfalfa for con-
venience is termed grain" in the re-
suits given. Where chopped alfalfa
or alfalfa meal was a part OF any
ration in the experiments, all the
grain was ground. The alfalfa meal
was mixed with the grain; the
chopped alfalfa was put in the trough
and grain poured over It, The feed
was moistened with water after being
put in the trough. The feed was
weighed separately for each lot OF
hogs, at each feeding time. In all ex-
periments the hogs were weighed
every second week.
The animals had access to water at
all times, unless the weather was such
that the water froze. During such
times water was supplied three times
each day or as often as there was any
indication that the hogs cared for It.
Water was supplied in the fields by
means of gravity water system that
kept fresh water in cement troughs at
all times.
Results: The feeding of various pro
portions of alfalfa in a ration of corn,
as alfalfa hay, chopped hay and as
meal, indicate that the rations rank as
follows:
/. 100 parts corn, alfalfa hay in a
rack.
2. 80 parts corn. 10 parts chopped
alfalfa.
3. 80 parts corn. 10 parts alfalff
meal.
4. 100 parts corn alone.
5. rs parts corn, 20 parts alfalfa
meal.
6. rs parts corn. rs parts chopped
alfalfa.
7. so parts corn, so parts chopped
alfalfa.
8. so parts corn. so parts alfalfa
meal.
The first three rations stand closely
| together
OF the many rations tried for fat
tening, none has been found the equal
of corn and a small percentage OF
| alfalfa.
A summary Of results indicates that
the cost OF feed to produce a. zzo
pound market hog was 1886 per lVc
pounds, and that keeping the hog
until It weighed 1916 pounds increased
the cost to 1887 per 100 pounds. This
includes only the cost OF feed and does
not include the cost OF labor equip
ment. unusual risk. OF interest on In

By w. p. sNYDER)
One of the chief problems before
the pork producer is, What is the most
profitable ration to feed? The proper
standard from which to determine the
most profitable ration is the amount
Of feed of a certain kind required to
produce a unit at which the increase
Is made. These are the same in all
parts of the country, while the cost of
the various kinds of feeds and there
fore the cost Of gains from the vari-
GUS feeds will vary in almost every 10
cality.

ough experiments, extending through
a period of five years. by the Nebraska

USE OF WIDE WAGON TIRES
Makes Hauling Easier and Improves

Cutting Ruts In Them.
(By A. f. wOODS.)

The use OF wide tires on wagons has
made hauling easier and improved and
packed rather than cut ruts in the
roads. The farmer who still uses mar
row tires for heavy loads is not only
wasting time and horse energy, but Is
guilty OF cruelty TO animals and the
destruction OF the public highways.
The relation between weight OF load
and width OF tire and the maintenance

THE UNGUARDED TONGUE

IF THE origin of the greatest troub-
les, the most disagreeable cpl
sodes, the most deap-seated and
long continued animosities, in every
town, village or community, were
traced, it would be found in perhaps
the majority of cases, idle gossip,
harsh wit and satrical speeches were
the cause of more unhappiness and
more hatred than all other causes
put together
If it were considered how great
is the injury done by evil speaking,
malicious tattling and silly gossip,
all but the hopelessly malignant
would exercise the greatest care over
their speech which relates to the good
names of others, is the manner in
which Charles Grant Miller sizes up
the evil.

pose that i'll deeds would reach furth-
er and strike deeper than i'll words.

The serpent bites much more poi

may pass unheeded and soon heal,
but rancor and venom impaired to
the blood impair the very source OF

On this bill there is difference of
SO cents in favor of the home town
store, and it must be remembered
that the prices quoted by the mail
order house are f. o. b. Chicago. To
the total must be added the cost of
the money order and postage which
is II cents. Then the goods must
be shipped to you, and if you live in
Minnesota this will mean an addition
al expense of about 80 cents, even if
they go by freight, and about SIPS
if they go by express.
You will, therefore, lose at least
S1.25 if you send your order to this
mail order house, instead of buying
the goods in your home town, and
you will lose more if you order from
any of the other mail order houses.
1t always pays to trade with the
home town store-both as to price
and service.-Bemidji Sentinel.

THE WEAK MANS PRAYER

X ORD. l want to be strong. I'm
weakling. l don't stand on
- my feet | shuttle along, hid
ing my principles, lodging this way
and that.
The trouble with me is, I'm a cow
ard. I'm not playing the man. Pm
one bundle of evasiveness and fear
ings and triviality. Pm ashamed of
it. And so l come to you, the maker
of manly man. You delight in
strength. You look with pity on
weakened folk. But you give your
self freely to people who stand for
something.
Therefore, be my companion, God
of the strong and the unafraid-that
! may learn from you how to hold
myself straight up; how to walk with
resolute stride, and to speak out
with resonant tones. Make over I'M
to me your quality of courageous
ness. Teach me to look life square
in the face, and to fear nothing in
earth or hell except you.
Then | know I'll count for some
thing. At present l count for moth
ing-a cipher; a mere zero in the
arithmetic of the ages. Build bony
framework of principles inside of me,
to the end that l may be an upstand-
ing fellow, a man with whom strong
men will comrade.
Fiber me into moral courage.
Strengthen me, and l shall be strong.
Straighten me, and shall be straight
Prop me up to stand for the right
when the right is unpopular.
And so | shall begin to live. / will
