Amount of Grain Fed With Pasture.
Hog growers differ quite widely
regarding the quantity of grain that
should be fed while on pasture. Some
feed full grain ration; that is, all
the hog will consume. Others feed 3
medium ration, one that is equal to
about 2 to per cent of the live
weight Of the hog. Still others prefer
light ration, one that is equal to
about l per cent Of the live weight Of
the hog. No definite rule can be laid
down, as the amount Of grain which
should be fed with green pasture de-
ponds upon (1) the price Of grain, (2)
the amount and quality Of the pas.
ture, and (3) the age at which the
hogs are to be marketed. However,
the feeding Of pounds of grain per
day for each 100 pounds Of live
weight will usually give satisfactory
results.
When the supplemental grain rat
ion is expensive there is great temp
tation to place the hogs upon an ex-
elusive pasture ration. This seldom
pays, because IL takes as much con-
rentrated feed in the end. and some
times more, to fit hogs for market
which have been on pasture diet as
Is required for hogs fed grain while
on pasture; however, mature breeding
stock, or hogs which are nearly
grown, can be carried on good pasture
until cheap concentrated feed can be
supplied.
Hogs feeding upon alfalfa require
| slightly less concentrated feed thar
when grazing upon nonleguminouf
pastures. When a farmer has more
hogs than his pasture is capable OF
supporting, it will be more economi
cal to feed full grain ration, for the
more grain hog consumes the less
he will feed upon the pasture. Tt
finish hogs for market when 7 to {
months old it is necessary to give
them about all the feed they will con
sumo in addition to pasture in order
to make them reach the weight de
manded by the markets, ITO to 22T
pounds.
Hogs that are to be maintained or
pasture combined with a light grair
ration during the grazing season ant
fattened later. Slow daily grains will
result, but most of the growth will be-
made from cheaply grown forage.

Can You Spell?

At Kokomo, Indiana, few days age
the superintendent Of the schools hel(

the city was eligible and six hundret
took the test. OF that number only
fifty-two made perfect score.
Newspaper men, doctors, lawyers

mitted lists of twenty words each and
from that total, twenty words were
selected. The complete list with the
number of times each word was mis-.
spelled, follows: Miscellaneous, 1854

One woman, who made a perfect
score, had been q servant for sixty
three years and had had only eight
weeks schooling. A county official
who had been in business all his life
missed every word. Another mar

Currency BiIps Workings.

BY the currency bill the Democratic
party created democracy Of credit
such as has never existed in this
country before. For a generation or
more we have known and admitted
that we had the worst banking and
currency system in the world. because
the volume Of our currency was wholly
inelastic; that is, because there was
more than enough at certain seasons
to meet the demands of commerce and
credit, and at other times far too lit
tie; that we could not lessen the vol
ume when we needed less nor increase
it when we needed more. Everybody
talked about the absurd system and
it, quite necessary embarrassments,
sure to produce periodic panics; and
everybody said that it ought to be
changed and changed very radically;
but nobody took effective steps to
change it until the present congress
addressed itself to the task with genu-
inc resolution and an intelligence
which expressed itself in definite &C
ton. And now the thing is done.

HIS GARDEN SINKS TEN FEET
Jersey Farmer Fears He'll Have Only
Hole In the Ground
Left.

Belvidere, N. Johnston Cornish,
a farmer Of Harmony township, has a
sunken garden that Is being created
by nature and he fears daily that the
bottom will drop out and leave him
with only hole in the ground.
The trouble started after a storm
some days ago, when a depression
was noticed in one of the fields plant
ed with garden truck. Steadily this
depression has grown until a consid-
cradle area is affected. Now the
earth is from ten to twelve feet lower
than it was two weeks ago.
1t is thought an underground stream
of considerable size, having it's source
somewhere up in the hills, has been
slowly eating away the underlying
strata, thus allowing the surface to
sink. Examination along the Della
ware river does not indicate any new
spring breaking into it, but it is
thought one has broken out in the bed
of the stream.
Last winter section of the public
highway some distance from the
Cornish farm caved in and left con-
siderable hole, but 1t was filled in and
no trouble has been experienced there
since.

RAISE GAME B|RDS|
Minnesota Folk Plan to Cultivate
Wild Duck.
Will Also Go in For Quail and Pleas
ant, If Market for Them Develops
TO Distribute From 5000
to 10000 Eggs.

polis.-More than 100 resi-
dents on the $4,000 acres of land with
in the Minnetonka game refuge will
raise mallard ducks, pheasants and
quail next season and if their ex
periments prove as successful as
those of people in other states, these
three varieties of game birds may
soon be as readily obtainable in the
markets as chickens, turkeys and
geese are now. From 5000 to TO-,
600 eggs are to be distributed among
those who will encourage the propaga-
ton of wild life and if the ratio of
young birds to eggs holds true, the
refuge will be heavily stocked. while
outside of it by 1917 there should be
more birds as fair marks for sports
men than there are now under pro-
lection.
Thus, while the refuge remains
haven wherein fowl may breed, there
will be enough game outside to keep
the huntsmen busy.
1t is estimated by Frank D. Blair,
Field Superintendent of the Mime
sofa Game and Fish Protective
league, that within the prescribed
territory about 1000 mallards, from
5000 to 10000 quail and no more than
a dozen pheasants have been taking
shelter
At the end of two seasons he be-
1ieves that there will be 10000 or
10000 birds, the most marked in
crease being among the pheasants-
now very rare-which should be 5000
strong.
"The rate of increase of these wild
birds in captivity is remarkable" said
Mr.. Blair the other day. "Mallards
will lay an average of 40 eggs a sea-
son, quail from 80 to so, and pheasants
from 80 to 40. When they are liv-
Eng in a wild state they usually lay
several patches of eggs and then hatch
out only one batch, while in captiv-
ity all the eggs are saved. Birds
Matched will average roughly about
go per cent of the eggs.
The most serious difficulty con-
fronting those who experiment in the
propagation of wild birds is in keep
ing them separated from poultry.
They are especially susceptible to dis
eases that are communicated from
coops and land where chickens have
been A bantam hen is most generally
used to set on the eggs and frequently
breeders make the mistake of turning
the. young birds loose in the chicken
yards along with the hen.
The Minnetonka residents who ex-
pect to raise mallards, pheasants and
quail are actuated by desire to in
crease the number of birds within
the refuge. Though they will be put
to some trouble, the returns eventu-
ally, they believe, will more than Off
set the tribulations."

IN POLITICAL FIELD.
Matters for Serious considera-
ton by Democrats.
Policy Of the Party Calls for DeIibera-
ton of the Wiscst Character-BIg
Issues Are Soon to Be Placed
Before the Country.

The Democratic majority in the next
house is certain to be in the neighbor-
hood of 30. This will be ample for
strictly partisan purposes in most adj
ministration matters.
If the tariff subject were opened up,
however, the majority might be insult
ficient to insure safety for the admin
istration There are a number OF
Democrats who are in favor of rea-
sonable amount of protection.
Any attempt to suspend the free
trade clause of the sugar schedule,
therefore, is apt to prove dangerous
unless the administration is willing to
permit general revision of the tariff.
Sixteen votes, cast with the Repub-
licans, will deprive the Democrats CT
their majority on any issue.
Inasmuch as those conditions will pre-
vail, 1t is absolutely essential that on
the issue of national safety the admin
istration should take pains to elimi-
nate partisan conditions and put pre-
paredness on the broad basis OF
patriotism, seeking the support and
advice of Republicans as we'll as Dem
ocrats.
National defense will be the big is

be permitted to interfere with ade-
quate military preparations. There
are little navy" and little army"

lieve in protecting the nation should

Demand for Tariff Revision.

There has been an outspoken. ma
tion-wide demand for downward re-
vision of the tariff since 1907. In the
campaign of the following year both
parties promised it. The party that
was given the opportunity to fulfill
that promise failed. 1t failed because
the president was deaf to his party's
voice and heard only the evil counsel
of advisers who were no longer their
party's spokesman. There was not
even the false stimulant of uncertainty
after the inaugural four years ago In
stead there was the blighting certainty
of betrayal. Big Business chortled
and proceeded forthwith to become
