CRICKET CHASERS At
IOWA STATE COLLEGE

During the past fall, there has
been bunch of curious little pigs
at the Iowa State College, called by
those who took care of them 1.-The
cricket chasers.'
They are last springs shotes. The
received only corn and blue grass
all summer, faring in this respect
just as Gid very MANY other pigs
tliroaaFo out the state of Iowa.
Quite long time ago, they began
to exhibit peculiar taste. or APP
petite. They were frequently found
trying to eat things not on their
bill of fare. While Uncle Henry
Wallace, of Wallace's Farmer, was
trying to take their picture, he
dropped the tab from his film
pack; and they Immediately start
ed to make meal of it, At am 9TH
er time they were found running up
and down the lot chasing crickets;
and this is what gave them thei1
name.
They have grown little, e,-but on
ly little as compared with the
pigs that have had other rations
During the fall, they increased in
weight at the rate of about fiftee1
pounds each per month, while sew
eral other punches of shotes nea
them gained upwards of twice a.
much as this, or even more, eacl
month.
They Illustrate in the most strik
ing manner fact which would b
worth many millions of dollars tt
Iowa farmers if they would but aip
ply it i'm their feeding operations
viz. that growing pigs MUST hav
those food materials, of which mus
Gle and bone are made; and
these are not provided, there is
penalty in stunted growth and un
profitable gains.
In another lot not far from tina
occupied by the Cricket chasers
was a bunch of more Fortunate pig:
Their good fortune lay in the fac
THAT they were allowed tobrows
ON alfalfa instead of blue grasc
This was all, for otherwise the
received the same ration as di
the stunted ones Yet they we1
vigorous and thrifty; and durin
the fall, they gained at the rad
OF about twenty-five pounds eac
per month
There We're other shotes in til
lots nearby that We're even large
tham these last, and that likewis
that received, in addition to alfa
ia and corn, a little tankage, ar
also of those that were fed rape al
corm. Both OF these punches gaint
at the rate of about thirty poun,
each per month, or a full pound
day for each animal
These experiments at the Sta
College really mean a great deal,
much mere. in fact, than anyo
seems to think to the hog indu
try of Iowa. From what has be
said, it is obvious that larF
pant of the corn fed to the ''cric
ct chasers' are simply wasted; a!
in the, same manner Iowa feede
are wasting several million bushe
of golden corn in their hog lc
each year.

FOUR NATIONS SIGN
PEACE WITH U. s.

Washington, Sept. 10.-1n the
midst of the European war, Great
Britain, France, Spain and China
have agreed to sign a peace commits
sion treaties with the United States.
One effect of the new conventions
would be to prevent the United
States from being drawn suddenly
into the conflict.
Germany. Russia and Japan have
signified their acceptance of the
principal of these treaties, though
negotiations have not advanced to
the point of drafting conventions.
Similar agreements with Turkey
and Greece are almost ready for sig
nature.
The first four treaties are rady
for signature and are regarded by
President Wilson and Secrtary Bryan
as of far raching Importance. While
negotiations wer being made before
the war broke, their consummatfon
practically will safeguard the United
States from being drawn in over any
question of neutrality or other con-
troversy.
