POTATOES MAKE
POOR SWINE FEED
On Account of Large Water Con-
tent, Tubers Are Not Con-
Sidered Satisfactory.

On account Of the heavy potato crop
end the low market price, many PEG
pie are asking about the value of
spuds for stock feed The animal
husbandry division OF the state col
lege at Pullman has several inquiries
OF this sort
On account of their large water con-
tent. potatoes alone are not suitable
for feeding swine. Experimental re-
suits at many stations have shown
that one pound of grain Is equal to
about four pounds of cooked potatoes
or four, ard one-half pounds of pota-
toes raw. On this basis anyone can
figure out the probable return of po-
tatoes when fed to hogs. They must
be fed with grain to return satisfae-
tory results. Probably not more than
four pounds Of potatoes should be used
for each pound OF grain where rapid
gains are desired
AS lie well known. potatoes should
be cooked, using as little water as pos
sible, maghing them and mixing in
the grain while the potatoes are hot.
a little salt should be added and the
mixture fed to the hogs while still
warm. IL the grain is corn or bar
ley. the addition Of some tankage
should increase the gains and decrease
slightly their cost--Bulletin, Wash

Railroads Must Paw More Taxes.


Railroad corporations having prop
critics in Wisconsin are called upon to
pay sS60.161.25 more taxes for 1914
than for 1913, according TO final as
sessment made by the state tax com
mission. The final valuation fixed by
the commission for the present assess
ment, is $S4O, 242. 900, which is an in
crease over the valuation of 1912 of
s13.SsS.000 and the resulting tax is
$4.72J,529.30, as compared with s3.S60,-
36S.07 in 1913.
While this increase is borne equally
by all the property subject to taxation
according TO their assessed valuation,
the greater part of it is born by the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul COM
panies, due, of course, to the fact that
their properties are the most extern
sive. The tax of these two companies
is fixed by the commission at
Chicago & Northwestern 81 ,626, 730.56
Chicago, Nil. G. St. Paul. l,3S3,241.26
The increase for these two roads
alone amounts TO $534,625.
While there appears an increase OF
nearly $4,000 600 in the assessed yalu-
alton the large increase in the amount
of tax levied is due TO the fact that the
rate of taxation is increased as com
pared with year ago on account of
the increase of the general property
tax throughout the state which Is used
as the basis for the assessment of rail
road companies.
This tax, levied against the rail
roads, is due in two equal installments,
the first payable in February and the
second in August.
The amount of the final assessment
and taxes on companies where the tax
exceeds $4,000 are:
