Bears are kept in pastures away from
the sows. They have a range of clover
and timothy pasture. We feed them
such food as is raised on the farm
ground oats and wheat-with tankage
and a little oilmeal added. We do not
feed much corn. This makes them
strong and vigorous. At breeding time
O record Of every SOW bred is kept so
as to tell when she will farrow.
After narrowing we feed the same
kind of feed as the SOW has been used
to getting, but not so much or as rich

get old enough to eat we make a place
for them where they can eat by them
selves, giving them some milk at first
to get them started, adding a little
shorts as they get older.
Some farmers are deceiving them
selves when they think that hogs are
fitted by nature to subsist entirely on
waste products. They do their best on
q clean, well balanced ration. There
are, however, some kinds Of waste
products-such as apple and potato
Feelings, table scraps, etc.-that can be
utilized to good advantage. Corn stands
at the head Of hog rations because the
cheapest and best feed available. Feeds

hydrate. Skimmilk and grass, espc
cially the clovers, are excellent sources
Of protein. The young growing pis
needs proportionately more heterogeneous
food than the mature hog. When hogs
reach the fattening stage corn can b.
fed almost exclusively. Clean waste
scraps of fruit and vegetables may bt
fed with the foregoing feeds, but i
should be borne in mind that the Iii
gestive apparatus of n animal is fit
ted to assimilate soapsuds and othe
chemicals of q like nature, which ar
sometimes thought by the poorly in
formed to be excellent hog feed.

SOIL Improvement.

In an experiment where no farm ma
nure vas used the average yearly re-
turn from the land itself was 1915 per
acre, while 81 was the return from a
ton Of limestone and $2.65 from 500
pounds Of phosphate.
In order to reduce the labor involved
the limestone and phosphate are ac-
tually applied in larger amounts at
less frequent intervals, but thus far
the rates of application have been one
ton of limestone and 500 pounds Of
phosphate per acre for each year, al
though, after the soil Is sufficiently
enriched, one-half or one-third these
amounts will provide for maintenance.
The principles Of permanent improve
ment for most soil types are already
well established. They include the use
Of ground limestone for correcting soil
activity and for enrichment in calcium;
the utilization Of atmospheric nitrogen
by proper use Of legume crops, the ap-
plication of phosphorus to most soils
and the liberation Of potash from the
inexhaustible supply already contained
in all normal soils. On some soils dolo.
mitic limestone should be used in order
to provide both magnesium and cal
cium, and on certain abnormal soils,
such as swamp muck and residual
sand. potassium must also be applied.
The location and character Of the va
rious soil types are established by the
surveys and analyses, and the soil ex.
pertinent fields help to determine the
best order Of application Of the mate.

Saranac Lake Stevenson memorial com
mittee, organized for the purpose Of
concentrating the s%ojourn in this vii
lage of Robert Louis Stevenson during
the winter of 1SS7-S, has just made
public its progress.
1t is announced by the committee
that Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor,
who is best known for his work in the
Cathedral of st. John fhe Divine and
the massive Lincoln bust in the cap
itol at Washington, has agreed to de-
sign q tablet to the man who in An

! be kind, to earn a little and to spend a
little less, to make upon the whole a
family happier for his presence
The history Of this memorial move
ment is rather interesting. Than Sar-
anac Lake there is no place where
| Stevenson ever lived in his romantic
life that has Il greater right or duty to
erect some memorial. Stevenson ar
| rived in New York for the second time
in 1887, intending to go to Colorado
| for his health. Through the advice OF
| friends he changed his mind and came
to Saranac Lake, where DIR. Edward
Livingston Trudeau had started i'll
America the outdoor treatment of tu-
Derculosis.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Stevenson, Lloyd
Osborne and later ~Stevcnson's mother
rented the Baker cottage, on the out
skirts of this village. Here during the
! ensuing winter Mr.. Stevenson wrote
| most of the famous essays published
in Scribncr's during 1883, including
"a Christmas Sermon" "Thc Lantern
Bearers ''pulvis ct Umbra,' beg

Dreams" etc. His genius at this time
seems to have been at it's zenith.

DIAMETER OF THE slLo.

The diameter of Il silo should
be determined by the amount Of
si]age to be fed. According to
the North Dakota station, If less
than one and one-fifth inches Of
ensilage are removed daily, mold
ing is likely to start. The warm
err the weather the greater the
depth Of ensilage that should be
removed. In winter twelve dairy
cows fed forty pounds a day will
S up the right amount from a
fourteen foot silo, while in sum-
mer it would require eighteen
COWS to use up the amount Of en-
silage that should be removed
daily; for the twelve foot silo,
nine COWS in winter and thirteen
in summer: for the sixteen foot
silo, seventeen cows in winter
and twenty-five in summer. Let
the amount of ensilage fed daily
determine the diameter of the
silo and let the height determine
the capacity.

Permanganate Of potash solution in
the drinking water is an excellent ton

Brewers Grains as Piq Feed.

When fresh brewers grains can be
obtained at a reasonable price they
may be safely and economically fed 10
growing pigs during the first two
thirds Of the growing period, and brood
sows will also thrive on them when fed
in reasonable quantities and with the
proper mixtures. A very satisfactory
way to feed the grains would be to use
them for about one-third Of the ration.
the other two-thirds being composed of
wheat middlings, barley and cornmeal
In varying proportions, according to
the age Of the pigs and season of the

German Explosives Of Tree Gum.

Sydney, Australia, Sept. Colt has
just come to light here that with the
astounding preparedness with which
the Germans entered upon this war
they had for several years prior to the
declaration of hostilities been buying
immense quantities of Australian grass
tree gum, which is convertible into an
explosive much more powerful than
dynamite and that this explosive is
probably now being used against the
Britons and their allies.
Fred Wright of this city recently
made this statement:
cover twenty-five years ago l wit
messed a number of experiments with
grass tree gum, in which a comparison
was made with a dynamite cartridge
and a grass tree gum cartridge, and,
judging from the bulk of rock dislodg-
ed. the latter was by far the more pow
erful. Later the Kalenite company
gave a series Of demonstrations with a
mixture of nitrated cellulose. grass
tree gum and nitroglycerin at Narra-
been and Pyrmont two places on the
outskirts of Sydney. Both tests We're
reported in the daily press, and it ap-

Germans Shoot Fire From a New De-
vice.
London, Sept. 10.-The correspondent
of the Morning Post at British head
quarters sends the following descrip-
ton OF the German fire protector ut
tack on the British trenches at Hoogc:
"At $3.50 o'clock in the morning the
German attack began. A tremendous
fire a concentrated from three sides
upon the Hoogc salient. There was n
direct fire Of five inch and field guns
against II parapet, in addition to
high explosive shells of longer range
and a rain Of every sort of bomb frol..
trench mortars. After over half all

which, when the cock is opened, pro-
jects a long, flaming jet.

holding the salient had to relinquish
the trenches on the north side of the
road and fell back slowly from the
ridge.
lowing to delays inseparable from
the situation, it was impossible to get
a counterattack into shape before 3
o'clock in the afternoon. Then the ad-
vance was made partly under cover Of
an irregular piece Of forest known as
the Zouave wood, which offered the
! only concealment, but from the ridge
east of HODGE German guns swept
the wood. The whole place looked as
though it had been thrashed with q
fail of thunderbolts, yet the troops
held on to it and even succeeded with
the greatest gallantry in advancing to
the edge of it facing the enemy, which
was found, in German fashion, to be
completely swept by machine gun
crosstire, so advance beyond it was
almost certain death. None the less,
the advance was repeatedly attempted,
and small isolated parties of officers
and men succeeded in getting right up
to the barbed wire in front of the enc
my's trenches. We were in the end
obliged to be content with holding the
line of the wood to which the troops
had chung with such determination"

Belgian Refugee Children Here.


Detroit, Mich, Sept. 21.-A romance
of the war with a happy ending has
just been enacted in this city by
the arrival here Of a number of
Belgian children, who have been re.
united to their parents. A colony of
Belgian fathers and mothers had left
their native land shortly before the war
began to become citizens of the United
States and had settled in Detroit and
some of the small towns near by. They
had left their children behind in Bel
GUM to be cared for by relatives until
settled homes could be made in the
new land.
For a year these fathers and moth
ers had had no news of their little ones,
did not know for certain whether they
were dead or alive and feared the
worst.
Then some Of the parents settled in
Detroit appealed to their parish priest,
the Rev. Father Henry Syoen, for help
in their trouble and asked him to go to
Belgium and bring back the children.
The priest undertook the difficult mis-
sion, and after months of searching
and overcoming various difficulties he
brought eighty children back with him
to the United States. The party aniv-
