Projected Construction Of Expsrimsn.

In December. 1912. according to an
article In a recent issue of the Journal
Of the Institution Of Municipal and
County Engineers Great Britain, the
Scottish District Of the Institution OF
Municipal and County Engineers ar
pointed a committee to collect and
tabulate data as to improved methods
Of road construction and particularly
information as to the effect Of climatic
conditions taken in conjunction with
traffic upon experimental road lengths
to be laid down In districts In Scotland
which have distinctive climatic condj-
tons"
After having the matter under ad-
visement the committee decided to put
down experimental road lengths In q
number of districts in Scotland. Ar.
engagements have been made for the
location of these sections in parts Of
that country where the climatic condi-
lions are suitable for the experiments
and where the local surveyors will CO.

THE PRODUCTION OF HOGS.

To produce pork probably
hogs must feed and Craze con-
tinuously on pastures and crops
particularly planted for them, is
the advice Of experts Of the
farmers cooperative branch Of
the bureau Of plant industry.
department Of agriculture. Very
seldom is the growing of hogs
for slaughter a source of profit
unless proper grazing and feed
ing methods are followed.
In the spring, summer and fall
there are many crops for pas
turing hogs. but during the win
ter the crops to select from are
limited. On almost every farm
the production and keeping of
hogs in winter is expensive and
generally it is not profitable, for
the reason that large quantities
of corn are fed without products
Of green crops. More winter
grazing is needed, for which
many crops are adapted. The
most reliable are. however. rape,
rye, oats, wheat and barley.
For grazing purposes these
p~asturing crops for hogs should
be sown on specially well drain
ed and prepared land that is
either rich or has received a lib
eral application of manure. Good
winter pasturage is not obtain
ed except on the best drained
lands.
The seeding should be heavy
to insure a thorough planting.
The young plants will grow
slowly in the winter and many
plants will be needed to furnish
plenty Of pasture. Crimson Glow
er will do well with rape, rye,
oats. wheat and barley and will
mean an improvement on the
land.

BIG SHIPMENT
OF OIL CAKE TO
Be EXPORTED
One Lot of Five Thousand
Tons Will Probably be

Several shipIoads of oil cake are
probably early exports here, and pre-
paTatlons are being made at the ware
houses of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company to store just as
much as possible before the big ship
ments are due. At present a shipment
of $500 tons is about ready to go on
the steamer. which is expected almost
any day, and it was reported last night
that another shipment or contract for
more than twice that amount had been
landed, and would be handled through
the port of Pensacola in short order.
With the exception Of twelve or fif-
teen carloads of the loose material, the
first shipment of $500 tons is about
ready for the exporters, and it is pos
sfofe that very early in tile week a yes
sci will be hero 20 load the first con
signnent Those who have knowledge
of the deal stated last night that the
railroad company had landed a con-
tract Of over 10000 tons, and possibly
another even larger, for early shipment
through the port Of Pensacola.
It win require three steamships to
carry to foreign ports all there is in
the present contracts, it was stated
last night, but just how soon the ship
ment would be ordered moved is not
made public. There are three Italian
steamers coming to gulf ports, as
shown In the Maritime Register, and it
is stated that at least one, and per-
haps two, are to load out here. Cake
will be the main item handled at Pen
SacOIa.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Medill Nc
Cormick, suffragist, has succumbed to
Mrs. Mediu Mccormick, wife and
mother Her activities in the suffrage
world will end with the convention of
the National American Woman Stuff
rage Association In Nashville next No.
vember.
The life cf a suffragist's husband
and baby is the cause of her action.
Mr.. Mccormick does not want his
wife to continue her suffrage work,
which has kept her away from home
almost continuously.
Her baby, Katrina, is a little more
than a year and a half old and has
not seen as much of her mother as
both her parents have desired.
Mrs. McCormick's active work in the
suffrage cause began at Springfield
shortly before the suffrage bill passed
the state legislature. With Mrs.
Grace Wilbur Trout, Mrs. Sherman NJ.
Booth, and Mrs. Antoinette Funk, was
known as one of the big four"
who lobbied successfully for the bill.
After the suffrage act passed the
