Iowa Station Assists Sow Before
Breeding With Rapid Increase
In Feeding Of Protein.

A breeding practice used at the
Iowa Agricultural station should bt
worth remembering by every hos
raiser in an alfalfa district, since al
falfa contains a high percentage Of
protein, almost too much for a single
feed. With a view OF increasing the
number of offspring narrowed at the
Iowa station they assist the SOW be-
fore breeding with a rapid increase in
the feeding Of protein. which is called
flushing" This seems to stimulate
the production of ova or life germs,
which may later be fortified by the
sire. and consequently this tends to-
ward an increase in the size of the
litter.
It has been found that where
large amount of protein is fed just be-
fore the breeding season that the
sows will not only require less serv-
Ices, but more pigs will be narrowed
han If scant rations are given. For
best results It is well to have the
;ows on pasture. For best results also
flushing should commence about ten
lays before breeding or a little SOON
sr. II is also necessary to have boar
IF strong constitution in order that
sufficient ovas be fortified. Tank
age. meat meal, skim milk and such
foods are used in supplying protein.

GREAT VALUE OF PUMPKINS
Vegetable Has Cooling Influence on
Animals System and Keeps Stom-
ach in Good Condition.

Great value is obtained from pump
kins fed to hogs along with corn from
the corrective influences which they
exercise upon the digestive system.
They have a cooling influence on the
pigs system and keep his stomach
and bowels in perfect condition while
he is being fed a large amount OF
corn during the finishing process and
consequently he is less subject to all
ments at that critical time.
But the seeds of pumpkins are so
exceedingly rich in protein that the
pigs should not have too many Of them.
Pumpkins are valuable for hogs af
flicted with worms.

BEST FEEDS FOR FATTENlNG
Better to Grind Grain and Feed In
Form Of Thick Slop Than to
Feed It Alone.

1t generally is estimated that rye
has a feeding value about 10 per cent
lower than that of corn when fed to
fattening hogs.
1t is better to grind the grain and
feed it in the form of a thick slop
than to feed it whole. The dry meal
forms a sticky mass in the hogs
mouth that is not relished
Some feed such as tankage, skim
milk or shorts should be fed in con-
nection with the rye.
Rye is lacking in protein and does
not give the best results when fed
alone. 1t also will be a good plan to
feed some corn in connection with the
rye if the corn can be obtained at a
reasonable price.

total cost of road, the authors cite

REPORT OUTLINES
AUSTR|A'S ATTITUDE
Dual Monarchy Wants Pledge Of
Neutrality From Italy.

Rome, via Paris, March 10, 2:10 a.
m.-What purports to be an outline
of Austria's attitude with relation to
the cession of territory to Italy is
contained in a despatch to the Tri-
buna dated Vienna, but te1egraphed
from the frontier. The statement is
made that Austria, without rejecting
upon Italian good faith, contends it
is only natural that the dual monarchy
if she is ready to grant territorial
compensation, should wish to insure
Italian neutrality. For this reason,
the despatch says, Austria feels she
should carry out her part of the pro-
posed agreement only when an
italian pledge Of neutrality is full
filed, especially in view of the fact
that the cession of the Province of
Trent would imply a weakening Of
Austrian military resources with re-
gard to Italy.
Commenting upon this report, the
Tribuna says the condition which
Austria demands is absolutely mac
ceptable and if maintained would
make impossible any friendly agree
ment.
Wrong Point of View.
"The Austro- German point Of
view," the Tribuna says, lis wrong
because they think Italy is asking
compensation for neutrality. The
problem is totally different. Austria
provoked the war. through aggression
against Serbia, partly against repeat
ed Italian warnings and partly with
out Italy's knowledge. This action
was entirely contrary to mutual
Italian-Austrian pledges and conflict
ed with the fundamental interests of
Italy. Thus the European equilibrium
was upset and radical changes in the
map of Europe are inevitable
ITALY sacrificed her national as
pirations by adhering to the triple al
lance for the sake of preserving that
European equilibrium. Since Austria
shattered it, Italy cannot longer post
pone the realization of those aspira-
tions.'' f"@

PEOPLE FLEE EAST IRt SSlA.

Batocki of East Prussia estimates,
after careful investigation, that be-

of them are believed now to be iv

In a recent article Won Batocki

Kentucky ChivaIry and Courtesy.

The most distinguished character
isiic of the Kentucky gentleman is
W.failing courtesy to any one who IS
in any sense a guest. Here is a
story told by many truthful people.
Judge Birkhead advertised that he
would speak at the court hose on a
given date and publicly invited his
opponent Judge Glenn to be present.
when Judge Birkhead had spoken,
upon invitation Judge Glenn attempt
ed to speak, when the crowd hooted,
yelled, hissed and prevented his do
ing so. Judge Birkhead was there.
What would you expect a Kentucky
gentleman to do? To spring upon
the platform with flashing eye and
with indignant voice demand a hear
ing for his opponent? Judge Birk-
head did that of course? No he did
not. The pity of it he did not.
Long continuance in office breeds
such desire for more that sometimes
the best instincts are smothered in
the overweening lust for office. But
it is the shame of Owensboro that
worthy, honored citizen of a neigh
boring town should have been treat
ed as Judge Glenn was within her
gates.-Owensboro News.
