CONGRESS
AO)()URNS

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 4.
The sixty-third congress is at
an end. The senate adjourned
at 1904 and the house at 1920,
ending record-breaking meeting
of the nations solons.
The president went to his room
at the capitol early to sign the
last few bills before the expiring
congress.
The usual scenes of leave-tak-
ing, mixed with pathos and hilar-
ity, were enacted, but tempered
bS the pressing demands for con-
sideration of real business, piled
upon congress during the last ten
days because of the ship purchase
bill filibuster. Fate of the ship
bill was among the last settled.
In time consumed the congress
which ended today smashed rec
ords. IL had been in session G37
days. The special session called
in April, 1913, leaped into the De-
cember session that year which
continued until last October, ad-
journing only five weeks before
the present session began last
December.

Fattening Hogs.

Every one knows it takes corn
to fatten hogs, but the insect
pests have lowered the yield of
corn on some farms to such an
extent that unless the. hog rat
ion is supplemented with feeds
other than corn, the animals will
have to be slaughtered before
they are in prime condition.
Supplements.
The best feeds for supplement-
ing corn are shorts or middlings.
Bran is too bulky for fattening
purposes. A little skim milk or
sour milk, when available, is ex-
cellent to go with corn. 1t i'm
proves the quality of pork and
keeps the animals body in such
good working condition, that it
will put on more pounds of fat
per 100 pounds of corn than he
would be possible without US
ing milk.
A small amount of pumpkins
goes well in the earlier fattening
periods, and will reduce the
quantity of corn necessary for a
given gain. When pumpkins
are fed until butchering time the
fat will have a yellow color.
Beets, turnips, and Gull potatoes
are also economically used when
fed in the earlier part of the fat
tening period. Hogs that have
been running to mast, will make
economical gains for at least Is
days when a ration Of three
fourths corn and one-fourth mid
dlings, even when this feed has
to be purchased.
Don't Neglect to Water.
Corn, in the course of diges-
ton, produces a great deal of
heat, and fattening animals
should have an abundant sup.
ply of clean, fresh water to keer
the system flush and cool.
A few wood and coal ashes in
which is mixed a little salt, will
be very palatable and healthfu,
to the hogs, and should be SUP.

After these two lectures, the
audience was shown through
the exhibit cars, in which were
collected specimens Of farm prod
ucts from Southwest Virginia
counties. Mr.. cash, the Roa-
nolSe county agent, had taken a.
great deal of pains in decorating
this car, and it was evident that
his county had made a very
creditable showing at the State
Fair. MIR. G. G. Jacob, from the
L. w. Wood Company, exhibited
| many fine specimens of farm
seeds.
Prof. r. E. Hunt, assistant in
the animal husbandry at the V.
Z. l., gave practical demon
stration with the live stock. He
pointed out the good and bad
characteristics of the various
breeds of dairy cattle, beef cat
tile. and swine. Some of the
points of interest were: That
a scrub steer would loose mon
ey, where a good grade steer
would make profit; that the
most efficient sized farm horse
is one weighing 1000 to 1850
pounds; that Hapshire sheep are
good rustlers; stand rough treat
ment and are popular on the mar
kets, because of their black fac
es; that Shorthorn cattle are
popular because of their dual
purpose qualities, and their po-
tency when crossed on grade
cows, and that while Herefords
are the best rustlers and early
in maturing, they are often light
in the hind quarters and are
poor mixers.
Miss Agnew, Miss Moffett and
Miss Terrell interested the la
dies in sciences of canning, cook
ing and health, one lady saying
thatthey told her in two hours
what it had taken her a life
time to accomplish in the school
of experience.
That night the town people
and school children heard Miss
Agnew explain how the depart
ment of Home Economies had
grown, and every one present.
realized that our canning club
ladies deserve more credit than
they usually get, because they
are working for the benefit of
farmers wives and farmers
children-teaching them what
methods of housekeeping are
best, and why these methods
are the most efficient in the saw
ing of time, labor and expense.
Prof. Hutchinson then entertain
ed the audience by telling what
the Demonstration Train is try
ing to do for the farmers; what
the College of Agriculture, the
Experiment Station, and the
State and Government Depart
ments of Agriculture are irving
to give the farmers through
cooperation, and that all the
farmers needs to do is to call
on these institutions and they
VIII be glad to do all they can.
He also expressed a desire to
see more intrest taken in Sc
curing a better breeding foun-
dation for our cattle.
Next year we should make
an effort to send some fine ex-
hibits OF the State Fair, and turn
out in full force when the dem
