period The plat used was divided
into two equal portions and the hogs
were pastured alternately for ten
days at time on each part This
allows for more uniform growth and
convenience in irrigating In addi-
tion to the pasture, the hogs were
given a supplementary ration OF two
pounds OF corn per day per 100
pounds live weight
ION April "a five high-grade
Duroc-Jersey hogs weighing 7S9
pounds were placed ON the alfalfa
plat. On May "a It was found nces-
sary to remove on hog, AS the supply
of feed was inadequate. The re-

pure-bred Duroe-Jersey shoats were
placed on the plat These shoats.

pounds. remained on the pasture un-

During the two periods Gi9
pounds OF pork were produced. The
corn consumed daring the season
amounted to l,94s pounds. Estimat-
ing the value OF he pork at seven
cents per pound CITES total return
from the Mat OF Sg.33. The value
Of the corn fed, estimated az worth
S1.25 per 100 pounds. was S2i.36.
This leaves a net return from the al
falfa crop OF $iS.97 for the plat
which is at the rate OF S75.SS per
acre. a. compared with q net return
OF $7G.SS from a similar experiment
conducted IN 1914
These results and also those se-
cured In 1913 and 1914 indicate that
the possibilities OF pasturing alfalfa
with hogs should receive careful con-
sideration by the farmers on the
Huntlcy project.

TAFT SEES NEED
OF LARGER ARMY

Former President Taft. addressing
grauates at Georgetown university,
declared that the colonial possessions
of the United States make impera-
tive a larger army and navy. He re-
ferred particularly to Germany and
oriental nations as possible enemies
to be met in war. The fleet, Mr.. Taft
declared, should be enlarged and
made better balanced with a view of
rivalling Germany's naval power.
Alaska, the Philippines and the Mon
roe doctrine in future years may
prove sources of friction involving
the United States, he said.
In our Asiatic relations said Mr..
Taft, 1T is observable that open-door
policy has been steadily clsoing since
the Russo-Japanese war, on account
of our helping Japan too lick Rus
STA. With the Chinese and Japanese
we are also pursuing al inconsistent
policy, for We want their trade, but
not them.
I'VE have a very particular color
scheme. involving only black and
white. We are very fastidious about
browns and yellows. / only mention
this to show that the orient is a pos
sible center of trouble, not imminent
trouble, ! trust"
Referring to the navy, Mr.. Taft
said:
Without being invidious, l want
to say that if we can beat the German
navy, we can beat the world"
Mr.. Taft criticized William J. Bry-
an for praising the Monroe doctrine
while opposing military and naval in
creases. MIR. Bryan should know
that the time may come when the
only thing that can defend the Mon
roe doctrine is force" said Mr.. Taft.
He also urged that the United
States enter a federation of nations
% prevent unnecessary war. accord
ing to the plan of the League to En-
Peace, of which Mr.. Taft is
president.

 The Mariposa officers report that going in io Anchorage they had fine weather and had no trouble with ice at all We were not bothered. but the barges used for landing pur- poses were hardly able to navigate on account of the drift ice, The ice in the upper reaches of the Inlet is all afloat and We were unable to anchor at Anchorage but were forced to drift with he ice.
