GOOD PASTURES FOR SWINE
Clover is Much Cheaper for Pigs Than
Grain and It Pays to Give Animals
All They VIII Eat
(Bv W. Z. PTRDYl

A trip through the country win re-
veal the fact that a good many Of the
pig pastures on the farms are not
pastures In fact, but simply small
runs.
This means that the pigs get little
grass or clover while it is at its best
early IN the spring and then go with
out the rest Of the season.
Now, If the pigs could be given a
good big pasture where they would
have more range and all the clover
they would eat and some to spare the
profit from them would be more.
Glover is very much cheaper feed
for pigs than grain and It pays to
give them all OF It they will eat Fat
tening hogs VII make the same gain
on Is per cent. less grain where they
have access 10 good clover pasture.

clover-hay or alfalfa, cut into short
lengths, is a good green food. The
hens will eat them dry, but relish
them much better if steamed. To
steam, cut into short pieces and pack
in a tub or bucket, pour as much boil
ing water over them as they will alb
sorb, and cover tightly for thirty min
utes before feeding. 1t may be fed
either by itself or mixed with a mash.
Sprouted oats are a good green
food. To prepare them, soak the cats
in warm water for "a hours, then
spread in shallow boxes and keep in
q warm place. Keep them moist by
sprinkling with warm water and they
will soon begin to Spout.
When the sprouts are about Two
inches long, cut the oats out In
chunks and feed to the hens They
will eat both the sprouts and the oats
and are very fond of them
Another way Of furnishing green
food is to feed vegetables. Turnips.
beets and mangles should be cut In
halves and fed raw.
Cabbage heads should be hung MP
where the hens can pick them Civ
ing the hens regularly any one of
these green foods will make a notice
able gain in the production Of eggs.

SCHOOL TEACHERS.

The troubles were constipation.

Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well

Thus. from the most impromptu sug

That exquisite tone of pink with a
purplish tinge, known as nacre, is in
evidence in the new moire taffeta and

the tete de negre hue, the latter being
used for the Japanese bow poised

Too much stress cannot be laid on
the fact that all the Paris couturiers
are using more materials in the de-
velopment of new models than during
the last two or three seasons. And
the extra yardage is employed mostly
in the fashioning of the tunic. which
has taken on various forms that diff
ferentiate it from its predecessors.
Also the effort is renewed to bring
plated effects again into favor Pre-
vious efforts not having met with sig

were concerned with the entire skirt,
certain OF the dressmakers have elimi-
mated that idea from the sartorial

MAKE ALCOHOL OF POTATOES
One Reason Industry Has Not Ad-
Vanced IN United States Is Be-
cause Of High Price of Tubers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
That the manufacture of alcohol
frsm potatoes has not yet become es.
tablished in the United States is due
to various reasons. The price of pota.
toes marketable for other purposes
has been too high, and no sufficient
supply of culls and surplus potatoes
has been available. The average price
for distilling potatoes in Germany for
the five years 1906-1910 was 1873
cents per bushel. 1t is probable that
the farmers there would be less dis
posed to grow the crop II 1t were
not for its indirect benefits, including
the feeding value of the mast left
after the distillation OF the alcohol.
according to the department OF agri-
culture.
The potato-drying industry in Ger
many is the last development in the
utilization of surplus potatoes, and
came about only through the absolute
necessity of finding an outlet for the
surplus production that could not be
consumed by the starch and alcohol
factories. The rapid increase in the
number of potato-drying factories In
Germany shows great promise for this
young industry, and should merit the
careful consideration OF our people
as to whether the time has not al.

this method into the United States,

In order to get a good supply OF

To do this, one thing absolutely nee
