Reduces Cost Of Feeding and Increases
Selling Value.
The addition of corn silage to ration
OF shelled corn and clover hay reduced
the cost Of gain on a lot Of lambs fed
at the Purdue station 40 cents per hun
bred pounds. It also slightly increased
the selling value Of the lambs and in
creased the profit % cents per lamb.
says Orange Judd Farmer. When the
corn silage was added to the ration it
was found that slightly less of the
shelled corn was eaten, and at the
same time the rate of gain on the
lambs was slightly decreased. The
amount Of hay consumed by the lambs
also was reduced when silage was add
ed. 121 pounds Of the silage reducing
the hay consumption O.72 pound daily

Without silage the ration of shelled
corn and clover hay produced gain on
proportionately the same quantity Of

added. Considerable hay was saved.
however. as it was found that 1868
pounds of silage reduced the quantity
Of clover hay consumed in making 100
pounds Of gain by 100 pounds.

FEEDING THE PIGS.

Plan Of Enclosure That Gives Little
Ones the First Chance.
With a good feeding floor inclosed by
q close fence, the pigs can be fed by
themselves and the sows kept out, and
found that instead OF gate hung on
hinges sliding door constructed like
q window sash that can be raised and
lowered and secured by bolts at any
point is great convenience in feeding
the pigs. writes John Corwine in Farm
and Fireside.
This door can he shut while the food
is placed in the trough, and to admit
the pigs the door Is raised and secured
at the proper height to admit small pigs
and at the same time keep back the
sows.
AS it often happens that the pigs are
not of the same size. by raising the door
only high enough to allow the smallest
pigs to enter the larger and stronger

the little ones will work their way
through the crowd clamoring for adj

After the smaller pigs have been sat

There is no reason why any one should

four years of experience with sheep in
southwestern Nebraska, and conse.
quently l have learned many advan-
tages as well as disadvantages Of the
sheep business. In our part Of the.
state, which is fenced and farmed,
sheep when properly handled are not
surpassed by any other farm animals
for quick, profitable returns.
We can depend upon two crops each
year. which are the lamb and wool
crop. They may be kept either in
small or large flocks. On an average
quarter section flock of twenty-five
breeding ewes can be kept at very
small expense. During the pasture
season they will feed on weeds, clean
up feed lots and make a good living
where other stock would not find any
food. Part Of the reward for keeping
sheep on the farm is the added neat
ness in the appearance of the place.
Sheep should be kept in good corral
or shed every night so there will not
he undue temptation to dogs or coyotes.

to clean up what, If any. food remains
in and around the troughs. -.
BY this method the smaller pigs are
given the advantage. and the result is
they gain rapidly in growth on the
larger pigs until an even and uniform
size results.
With old hogs. whose frames are de-
veloped, nothing excels corn for fatten
ing. With an occasional feed Of roots

But with growing shotes food for the
growth Of bone and muscle must be
provided as well as to make fat, and
ground oats. ground barley. wheat

made into thin swill with water and
properly sailed make an ideal food
combined with corn.
Cornmeal does not make good swill,
being too heavy, and I much prefer
shelled corn soaked In water for twelve
to twenty four hours. according to the
weather. In very warm weather
twelve hours may be sufficient, but in
cool weather it may require twenty
four hours. but care must be taken
that the corn does not become sour.
Salt should always be added to the
water in the barrel in which the corn
is soaked, sufficient to season the corn
to make 1t palatable for the human
taste
All swin should be sailed and should
be so clean and pure that, with the ex-
ception of kitchen Stops, the finger and
the mouth Of the attendant can be used
to test it and have it the same degree
Of saltiness as human food.
By testing in this manner, if the swill
| is found to be sour the addition Of a
pound package of baking soda, the
same as used in the kitchen, to bar
rel Of swill will prove beneficial. The
soda. being an alkali, neutralizes the
acidity Of the swill and prevents scour-
ing in the pigs, complaint that Is
much easier prevented than cured and
which. when once allowed in a herd of
pigs or shotes, proves a very serious
| matter.

Dangerous Hoo Feeds.

Kitchen Stops may contain wash pow
ders that are made up of soap and i'm
pure I've. They also contain much in
digestible waste and often contain
scraps of uncooked meats and cholera
virus. Kitchen Stops may contain pto-
maines or poisonous products found in
decomposing organic matter. Uncooked
meat in kitchen Stops may contain tri-
china or tapeworm cysts, and some
times such Stops may contain dead
mice or rats that may be infested with
trichina or tapeworm cysts. Hence
kitchen Stops or restaurant or hotel
Stops are dangerous feeds for hogs.

usuR,ous PROFIT.

In 1850 the proportion Of the
annual wealth created In the
country by the joint efforts Of
labor and capital was one fourth
to labor and three-fourths to
capital. Sixty years later the
proportion had changed to less
than one-tifth to labor and more
than four-fifths to capital. This
disproportion. to my mind, has
much to do with our present dis
content.
Usurious interest is no more,
but usurious profit has taken its
place. The young man in as
Stunning leadership must create

railroads Of the country would

change for their greater profit
and the doubt, risk and abuse
which come with it.
The doctrine Of state rights
is seldom heralded save In oppo-
sition to needed reforms. Tho
doctrine Of state rights must
be supplemented by the doctrine
of state duties. If state rights
are to be preserved the young
men Of tomorrow must take up
the cry Of state duties.

BOY TERRIBLY HURT
BY BROTHERS GUN
Thomas Rock, IA, Loses Eye While at
Dinner Table at His Home in st.
JOhnsbury

ST. JOHNSBURY, June 3.-Thomas
Rock, IA, son of George Rock, was ac.
cidently shot and terribly wounded in
the face and breast by the discharge
of shot gun in the hands of his
brother, George Rock, IS, while the
family was seated at the dinner table
yesterday. Physicians removed one of
the boys eyes and it is believed that
the lad has a chance to recover.
The older boy had been hunting and
was in a room adjoining the dining
room cleaning the weapon when the
accident happened.
Believing that the gun was not
loaded, the older boy started to clean
the arm and in some manner exploded
the charge of bird shot which went en-.
tirely through the panel of the door
into the dining room literally pepper
ing the younger boy from his breast to
the top of his head
Nearly frenzied with fright vet
aware Of the seriousness of his broth
er's wounds, the older boy caught the
smaller lad in his arms and attempted
to carry him to Brightlook hospita,.
nearly half n mile away.
Physicians were quickly summoned
and the boy s wounds dressed. None
| of the other members of the family
were hit by the shots. Two shots
struck the boy in one eye and his
chest and face were terribly injured.
