mory at P. NJ, and marched to the

of the Regular Army, instructed the
company in Nomenclature of the
Rifle, Squad Drill and Extended Order
Exercises, for two and one half hours.
The company then paraded back
through. Ray as far as the Ray Com
pany offices
The marching and cadence of the
men were surprise to great many
of the citizens, who were not aware
of the advancement the men were
making, holding drills twice a week.
In the evening, a dance was given
by the company, which was finan-
cial success, and afforded an enjoy
able time to all who attended.
Credit for the full attendance of
members of Company III" at both
drill and dance, was due to Mr.. Gates,
who had excused all members of the
Guard in his employ. A few more
employers of Mr.. Gates caliber are
wanted in Arizona and other parts of
the United States as well.
The National Guard will be a tre-
mendous success when men belonging

ployers are loyal to American in

WHEAT FOR HOGS.
By L. A. Weaver, Missouri Agrieul-
tural Experiment Station.


The Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station has obtained informa-
ton Of value 70 pork : producers, es-
pecially in seasons when the corn
crop is short by carrying on exper-
mental work with other crops on the
farm. BY conducting feeding trials
with wheat il has been shown that
under some conditions wheat may
well be used for hog feeding instead
Of corn. Results obtained show that
when corn is worth 10 cents or more
a bushel, wheat may be ~proftably
substituted for corn, if the wheat is
worth 80 cents or less. Likewise if
corn is worth 80 cents per bushel,
wheat is worth s1.03 a bushel as hog
feed.
1t has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by
adding a small amount of tankage
to a mixture Of corn and wheat than
by feeding these feeds without such a
supplement.
For example, the cost Of producing
100 pounds Of pork with corn tankage
was GO cents less thar when corn
- MI T. - ---
an additional profit to the producer Of
500 or more on each car load Of hogs
fed.
The results of these tests are re-
ported in full in Bulletin 1876 cnti-
tied Feeding Wheat to Fattening
Hogs, published by the Missouri Hg-
riculturaI Experiment Station.
