GREATEST GAIN IN
SWINE IN WINTER
Feeding Qualities of Shredded
Fodder Not Appreciated by
Many Farmers.

In spite of all that's said against
shredded fodder. its feeding qualities
have not been appreciated by one
farmer in fifty.
1t is a great mistake to try to force
cattle to eat something they do not
like. They refuse it because they
know it has no feeding value.
If you leave your corn in the field
till February or March you may safely
count that you are losing at least one
half of it's value.
II you take your animals off scant
pasturage in the fall and suddenly be-
gin to stuff them with green corn fod-
der, you will probably have some
pretty heavy losses.
The greatest gain in pigs is made
while they are young. and, the cost
increases every month they are fed.
Some men manage to fatten cattle
and hogs fairly we'll in muddy, cold
and uncomfortable feed lots, but it
takes at least one-third more feed to
produce equal results than if the ami
mails were properly housed.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-12-11

clean food is used. Some farmers, nc
doubt, congratulate themselves that
they have all the corn their hogs will
consume and that there is no better
feed.
have seen some start their hogs
exclusively on corn at the commence
ment Of the fattening period, using no
care not to give them too much OF it.
and finally the result was that the ap-
petite and digestion of the hogs were
injured and they were given a back
set that they did not really overcome.
In feeding corn to hogs it should
be given in small quantities at first,
and the amount gradually increased
as the hogs stomach becomes strong
er, until they are on full feed.
never feed my hogs very extern
sively on corn. l have found that the
best results are produced by feeding
corn in relatively small quantities in
conjunction with mill feeds, alfalfa
and clover hay, such feeds as turnips,
artichokes and other roots.
The profit of feeding hogs depends
upon the cost of the feed given them.
Therefore, anything that cheapens the
feed increases the profit and especial
ly If it is not done at the expense of
the health of the hogs.

Cny w. q. uNnERwoonA

(By w. Fl. UNDERWooD)
The main expense in raising hogs is
their feed, and it is the duty of the
feeder to get the most out of it that
he possibly can. Some farmers make
a mistake in simply throwing feed to
their hogs and letting them take care
of it.
When hogs are fed in this way they
do not receive the full benefit of the
feed, for a portion of it is wasted.
We must remember that one days
poor feeding will more than counter
balance two days of good feeding.
Regularity in feeding hogs is of
very great Importance, though good
ly number of us are slow in realizing
this fact. The digestive systems of
animals adapt themselves to receive
food at certain time and If food is
not given at the expected time the
animal is worried thereby.
This results in loss of one kind or
another. Frequently the food being
late, is taken in too large quantities
or too hurriedly, for the best good of
the animal. For this reason it is to
our advantage, as we'll as the hogs,
to make it a rule to feed him at ex-
actiy the same time every day.
We cannot expect good meat unless

Snake Creates Panic.

A six-foot snake, full of fight, defied
a squad of reserves for more than an
hour recently. The policemen were
armed with revolvers, ropes and
sticks. Persons scattered in every d.
rection when the snake wriggled down
the sidewalk. A man who was hurry
ing to catch car near stepped on the
reptile. He gave a cry Of fright
when he saw the snake almost under
his feet. He darted in another direc-
ton and lost his car. A rapid transit
company employee called up Sergeant
Morrison of the reserves and in
formed him in excited accents that
snake had taken possession of a Sec
ton of Market street. A squad of re-
serves were dispatched to the scene,
but the snake moved about in such
vicious manner that none of the po-
licemen risked going very near the
reptile. Then a young man came
along and captured the snake. 1t had

SOME EXTRA FEED
DURING THE FALL
Special Care Should Be Given
Cows During Time They Are
in the Stable.
Try w. M KELLY

L.
There is no time of the year when
a little extra feed will produce bet.
ter results than during the fall when
pastures are failing. A COW that goes
into the winter in weak and enact.
ated condition is certain to come out
in worse condition in the spring,
unless special care and feed are given
her during the time she is in the
stable.
Much of the poor condition in the
spring, noticeable among dairy cat.
tie, is due to a decline in condition
during the fall.
Cows that freshen in the fall should
have plenty Of forage If the pastures
are short, and sufficient ground food
to get them up to their maximum
yield.
A COW that is allowed to fall away
in her milk yield can seldom be
brought back to her most profitable
yield, and especially at this time of
the year
AS a rule have had better success
in growing fall calves than those that
come in the spring. The average
farmer has more time to devote to
their care and they are not troubled
with flies, and it is easier to keep
them in their normal condition DUR
ing the extreme hot weather.
Then again the fall calves are usu-
ally more vigorous than those that
come in the spring, after their dams
have been kept confined in the stable
all winter without exercise.

LIFE ONE OF TROUBLE
BANK OF ENGLAND HAS HAD A

To Her Credit Must Be Placed the
Settlement Of Many Crises In the
Nations History-Has Gone
Through Panics.

More than once in her history the
"old lady of Threadneedle street" has
held the fate of the British empire
in her hands. Just recently Britain
has had much to thank her for-espe-
cially the way she averted an econom-
ic panic at the outbreak of the war.

wear mourning for his consort, Mary,
when "the most famous and the rich.
est lady in the world" as the late
Lord Goschen styled the Bank of Eng.

that canny Scotchman, William Pater.
son, for godfather.
She was we'll lowered as infants go,
for the merchants Of London city sub
scribed in ten days the comfortable
sum of 100000 for her birth dowry,
thus enabling her to begin life as a
full-born millionairess
But the child had not long to wait
for her first trouble.
When she was only two years old
the goldsmiths leagued themselves
against the interloper who was steal
ing their banking business from them.
A few years later the fears of an
invasion by the Pretender brought
her horde of enemies down on her
again, allied with the rival banks of
Hoare and Child, and she was only
saved from disaster when the dukes
of Marlborough and Newcastle and
many another noble hurried to her
help with coaches trimming with bags
Of boarded guineas. When she left
MERGERS hall-her original nursery
for the more spacious Grocers' hall
her staff numbered but 81 all told;
and when her next migration took
her, in 1884, to the nucleus Of her
present palatial home her capital still
fsh short of modest $50,000,000.
Here, in 1880, she was compelled to
fight for her life.
Newgate had been sacked by g. ri
otous mob, large part of the city
was in flames and she herself was
girdled by fierce thousands bent on
her destruction. But she had gal
liant defenders. Her roof was manned
by clerks, firing volleys of bullets
nodded from the pewter Of their ink
stands, which they poured into the
enemy with such deadly effect that
they scattered and fed.
Four years later, "Old Patch,' the
roguish son of an old clothes man,
robbed her Of $1,O00,000 by means Of
forged notes, and he had SO many imi-
tators that a staff of 70 clerks was
kept busy in detecting them.
But the old lady's diary is crowded
with similar sensations and roman
tic happenings. When, for instance,
in the ASS" Prince Charles rebel
army had struggled as far south as
Derby, such was the general panic
that the bank was mobbed by anxious
crowds demanding money for its
notes. Payment was not refused, we
are told, but the bank engaged a small
army Of agents to present notes for
which they were paid in sixpences,
the agents going out of doors with
their silver and bringing it hack by
another, SO that bona fide holders of
notes could not get near enough to
present them.
