NOTHING BUT CORN
IS UNSATISFACTORY
Where Fed Exclusively to Hogs
the Animals Become Fat
and Do Not Develop.

Investigators have proved what
good feeders already know that corn
good corn-is a good feed for any
animal, and that there is no need OF
Withholding it from any animal need
ing food. At the same time, it is shown
that corn alone is not nearly so good
or so profitable a feed as corn sup
plemented by some protein food, such
as tankage, linseed meal or soy
beans.
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animals become very fat and chubby,
and do not develop properly; the
bones are brittle anu easily broken.
Sixty-five hogs were used in re
cent experiment and they were d.
vided into lots Of five each. Twelve
different rations were used, with corn
alone in two of them and corn with
some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed
meal and those fed on tankagt
gained the most; those receiving corr
alone were most unsatisfactory.

GOOD RATIONS FOR
EWES WITH LAMBS
Clover Hay Is Better Than Tim
othy-MouIdy or Sour Corn
SiIage Is Dangerous.

fBy HOWARD HACKEDORN. Missouri
Experiment Station)
Clover hay and grain is a better
ration for breeding ewes than timothy
hay and grain.
Glover hay alone will maintain preg-
nant breeding ewes up to Landing
time. After lambing, the addition OF
grain is advisable.
Corn silage when fed with clover
hay, with grain, and with both clover
hay and grain, is slightly better rough
age than corn slower fed with the
same combination of grain and clover
hay.
Moldy or extremely sour corn silage
is a dangerous feed for sheep. Eleven
ewes were lost in one week from &C.
cidentally feeding moldy silage.
A ration of corn silage, clover hay
and grain is the most efficient way OF
utilizing silage.
Feeding corn stover, clover hay and
grain is the most satisfactory method
of utilizing slower.
Corn silage and slower are better
roughages than timothy hay when FED
with grain.

! very satisfactory, but if you get such
a combination as high-priced oats it
would be foolish to advocate them, es-
pecially when we have to purchase
our feed.
During the winter months in root
growing country believe roots are a
good food, and should compose large
proportion of the ration, and 1 be.
lieve in boiling the roots and feeding
some grain.
Do not load them up with a great
lot of water; feed the roots in rather
thick batter, and mix in your shorts
and middlings and whatever grain
you might happen to have. For the
larger pigs pulp the roots and feed the
meal sprinkled on. In a section
where winters are cold, it is well to
take the chill off the food, and always
see that the pigs clean the troughs up
and do not leave any material in
them.
A great many people make the mis-
take of having food left in the troughs.
Pay particular attention to cleanli-
ness, have dry beds and give them dry
straw to lie on. The bedding should
be changed often.
In the winter months give them
wood ashes and charcoal and sod or
earth of some kind. Earth seems to
be absolutely necessary to keep the
digestive organs in good condition.
Milk is one of the best things for a
pig. Nothing lengthens them out like
milk, If properly handled.

OF all things, millinery requires
careful choosing, and, after 1T is
bought, the hat requires careful plac-
ing on the head, if it is to fulfill its
destiny. According to an old millin-
cry maxim that destiny is to improve
the appearance of the wearer. You

without it''-that is the eXacting test
to which each new mode is to be sub
jected.
The three new models for fall,

those who consider things before buy

ban, a turban with extension crown
which forms halo brim, and one OF
the graceful wide-brimmed hats to

Quite a number of these wide
brimmed hats are shaped with brims
turning upward at the back. This has

There are finely woven sweaters of

Because this is sweater for real
comfort in cool days it is rather heavy.
It's usefulness begins with fall, and
continues to the coming of another
summer, for it reinforces the too light
wrap in the depths of winter. 1t Is
an excellent model to choose for the
young girl to wear to school during
the autumn months, and nothing could
be better designed or arranged for
sports wear.
Sweaters of wool stand the rough
handling which they are likely to get
from young people, and continue to
look none the worse for it. Now that
they are made in beautiful colors and
with so much attention to style, the
field of their usefulness is wonderfully
increased.

make their entry into the social af-
fairs of the city this evening at the
dance which they have announced to
be held in the Elks Lodge Room at
the home. They add to the announce
ment heretofore made that the Elks
Orchestra viii furnish the music for
the occasion
It is not season of the year when
crowded dance floors are i'm any way
desirable and oyercrowding has been
avoided But there is certain to be
a good attendance of Elks and the
Ladies' of Elkdom and a carefully Sc
lected invitation list insures an at
tendance that will meet i'm size the
desires Of the hOstesses.
Invitations for the Elks dance have
been more and more in demand each
year. While held frequently during
the winter, they have not been so
frequent as general desire would
have them. Hence there are many
who hope that this dance given by the
Ladies of Elkdom will be but the first
of number during the fall and win
ter months and that these, added TO
the regular dances of the Elks, will
bring about a season of more than
ordinary festivity in the Elks home.
