the export trade Of the United States. which was held In Washington a few days ago. were informed that although the United States ranked a year or two ago third among the nations of the world in foreign trade, nevertheless our export trade was In excess of that of Germany and most equal to that of Great Brit ain.
 There will be great interest in the foreign trade statistics which will be reported from Washington early in July. For these will show whether we are main taining the position which has recently been acquired of standing almost upon an equality with Great Britain in the money value of our exports and ahead Of Germany in that respect In other words. the figures soon to be reported from Washington may possibly show that the immediate effect of the new tariff law has been to impair temporarily per- haps, the prestige we have gained as an exporting nation.
 Two years ago the common estimate or the money value of the domestic trade of the United States for the year 1911 was s25 GOO. .0Oo. GOO &, ,oOo. 100000 less than the money value of the aggregate foreign trade for the entire world for that year. There are some reasons for fearing that these stupendous figures were not main tained in the fiscal year which is now nearly ended. Whatever may have been the effect of the new tariff law, which certainly cannot have been very great be- cause the law only went into operation last October, upon our foreign trade there were unquestionably other reasons which are likely seriously to have affected our stupendous internal commerce. Had there been normal increase the probabilities are that the domestic trade of the United States in the fiscal year now ending would have been reasonab y estimated at about $S0. 900, ,ooo,0O0.
 The Foreign Trade
 In business circles by far the most en- couraging feature of the present fiscal year was the meeting at Washington re- gently of the leading representatives of the export trade of the United States. As re- gently as two and a half years ago at- tention was called to the fact that the stupendous amount of money value of the domestic trade of the United States had caused the leaders in our industries to pay less heed to foreign markets than the leaders in the industries in England or of Germany have done. The domestic trade carried on in each of these countries is really trivial in comparison with the mag nitude of the domestic trade in this coun- try. Therefore, Great Britain and Ger many have been compelled earnestly to seek foreign trade. Those who met at the convention at Washington were per suaded that the United States would soon reach the limit, at least for the present, of its domestic trade Therefore it was regarded as vital to American industries that the most energetic, scientific and thorough preparations be made for in- creasing our conquests in the markets of the world.

The Value of Forage Crops for Growing Pigs

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-
Farmers and pig growers do not al
ways appreciate the value Of green
feeds and succuIent pastures for their
animals. Too often the hog is con-
sidered scavenger and his ability
to use waste is regarded as his chief
value. However we'll he serves this
purpose, he will pay well for good
care, feed and housing.
Forage crops are especially beneh-
cial to young growing animals. 1t Is
possible to grow them much more
protitably and successfully when a
good green field of palatable and
nutritious pasturage Is provided.
Experiments and practical farmers
experience prove that gains in weight
are made at less cost on forage than
in the dry lot. Brood sows can be
carried through the season on pasture
at less cost than when grain fields are
entirely depended upon. Foraging
induces the animal to exercise and
obtain fresh air, and these prevent
diseases being contracted, and when
the animals are put in the fattening
pen their gains are unusually rapid
and profitable. The green feeds eat
en- are of much value just to keep the
pigs digestive system in good condi-
ton and the appetite keen.
The entire hog herd can be run on
forage crops and will profit by this
method OF management. Younger

CALCULATING RATIONS.

Feed your pigs definite quantities
of digestible nutriments daily per
hundred live weight, bearing in
mind 1t is necessary to maintain a
certain relation between the con-
centrates and roughages of the ration.
To calculate ration, suppose you
have a number of pigs two months
old weighing TOO pounds. At this
time the pigs require daily per hun
dred pounds of live weight: Water,
IL pounds; digestible crude protein.
six pounds; digestible carbohydrates,
g. pounds. Multiply these quantities
by the total weight-7O0 pounds. The
result is: Water, 81 pounds; protein,
AZ pounds; carbohydrates, 15.4
pounds; the amount of the above in
gradients per days feed.
The next step is the determination
of your ration and the proportion OF
such food you wish to feed. When
this is once done it is very easy to
figure from the table of nutriments
the exact quantity by weight of each
ingredient in the ration.

good plan to have the brood SOW run
ming on green pasture at narrowing
time. as this is conducive to a strong,
healthy litter of pigs. She should be
kept on green forage from the time
she farrows. The young pigs will
soon learn to eat, and the exercise
and the green food in its natural
state will start them along in good
condition.
The method of feeding when on
pasture will necessarily vary accord
ing to the kind OF crop used. If the
crop grown be rape, alfalfa, clover,
cowpeas, soy beans, or other crops
high in protein content, the grain ra-
tion need not be supplemented by
feeds high in protein. If blue grass.
rye, oats, or other non-leguminous
crops are grown, it Is best to add
small percentage of feeds high in
protein to the grain. Corn or barley
furnish the bulk of the grain ration,
and when necessary these can be sup
plemented by adding one-tenth lin
seed-oil meal or one-sixteenth tank
age. The rate of feeding will depend,
on the gains desired. Considering a
full grain ration 10 be four pounds
daily per 100 ounds live weight, we
may say that for ordinary work with
growing shoates one-half grain ra-
ton, or two pounds day for each
100 pounds live weight, will give
satisfactory results. If it is desired
to make faster gains heavier grain
ration can be used, and il it is de-
sired to maintain the animals as
cheaply as possible smaller percent
age should be fed.
1t seems doubtful il 1t ever pays to
try to keep pigs on forage crops
alone. These crops are sometimes
sufficient to keep the pigs growing,
but the gains are not usually made
economically. Usually the pigs are
kept at loss in live weight. Where
brood sows are kept they should be
given enough grain to keep them in
good thrifty condition. The fact that
the forage crops have high value when
grains are fed does not mean that
they should be fed alone.
The crops best adapted to grazing
with pigs are alfalfa, rape, clover.
blue grass, bermuda, rye, oats, soy
beans and cowpeas. The nature of
the soil, the climate and the rainfall
are influences that should govern
the selection of the crops to be used.
Alfalfa is the greatest forage crop on
soils suited to its growth. Rape and
clover are also excellent feeds, and
both are high in protein, the element
needed to balance ordinary grain
feeds.
Farmers are urged to plan some
system of forage crops for their hogs.
Now is the time to plan some fields
to be sown to crops adapted to graz
ing. Ii permanent pastures are
available, fence off portion for the
pigs and plant some crop to keep the
pigs growing when the permanent
pastures dry up, and the returns from
the years work with hogs will be
proportionately increased. Give the
pig an honest chance to make you
monev nv giving him green feeds in
