weighing from 100 to $50 pounds. Turn
them into the corn when it is well

Have the hogs on full feed before
turning them into the corn. Feed

Cottonseed meal Is one OF the most
concentrated feedstuffs that can be
obtained today. It contains. according
70 analyses made by the United States
department Of agriculture. from So to
10 per cent Of protein. The only feed
OF vegetable origin which has anything
like this percentage IL linseed-oil meal.
The relative prices Of these two feeds
should be the chief factor in determin-

Cottonseed meal has. Of course, been
fed extensively for many years in the
South. but its popularity in the North
n West is comparatively recent. In
the past a very large proportion of the
meal produced in this country has
been exported, Europe taking about

Government Rewards Have Only Had

THE mongoose pest is becoming

Formerly. he says. the government

terprising peasants were suspected Of
making q successful minor industry

Another amusing. II expensive. thins
occurred in this connection. In two ad.
joining wards An experiment wal
tried. At one they gave q nat rate
u cents each-male Of female. At
another the price was 81 for the Il.
male and 80 cents for the male.
After some time It dawned on the
oficial purchasers that there Vas q
great preponderance of females in the
latter ward. The simple peasant had
again proved n too many for the au.
thorities. Inquiry proved that all the
females caught In both wards were
sold In the a where the price was
raised. and all the males vice versa.
Then the government got tired Of It,
and no further reward was given.
The mongoose, It may be recalled,
was imported into the West Indies in
the seventies of last century. to ex-
terminate the rats which ravaged the
cane fields. They did this most ef.
fectually, but, having destroyed the
rats. they turned their attention to
poultry and birds. Then lizards fell

with the result that the insects in.

The method of collecting New England country cheeks through tho so-ealled. foreign department of the Boston Clearing house has been long looked upon as the most efficient as well as the cheapest method in use in the United States and as a result of the agitation ofs the whole subject by the federal reserve banks an organiza- ton similar to and modelled after that of the Boston Clearing House associa- ton has already been adopted by the New York Clearing House association and has either been adopted by or is being investigated with a view to adoption by the banks of many other large cities.
 reserve banks for the first year of ths operation have been small. the gross earnings from Nov. IS, 1914, to Sept. 30. 1915. having amounted to $1,51S, ,401 as compared with expenses of $1,22S,- S4S. but 1t must be borne in mind that there were necessarily heavy organiza- ton expenses in connection with the establishment of the system, as there would be in establishing any new busi-' ness; also. that the field for invest ment for the banks has been restricted and has developed but slowly and at a time when interest rates were abnor- mally low. Most of the banks will have fully earned their operating ex- penses at the close of the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1915. and those that have not should be in a position to do so in the near future.
 Nothing could have been more un- wise in the first stages of the develop ment of the system than to have had the federal reserve banks tempted by desire for earnings into active compe- tition with their stockholding and de- posting banks in the money market, and nothing but commendation should be given for the policy pursued by the federal reserve board and the banlaH
 Made Substantial Progress. @
 Sometimes, from day to day, the progress of the federal reserve banks has seemed slow. but a review of the operations for the whole year justihes the conclusion that the system as a whole has made substantial progress in all of the principal activities con- tempiated in the federal reserve act; that the organization of the banks has been an important factor in restoring and maintaining financial confidence in a period of unparalleled commercial disturbance and that a substantial foundation has been laid for the fu- ture.
 No one believes that the financial millennium arrived with the opening of the federal reserve banks on Nov. 16i 1914, but 1t cannot be denied that In the 12 months since that date very substantial progress has been made in the development, of banking system, more flexible, sounder sand more sci- entific than this country has ever en- -joyed and which should in time not only provide for all domestic needs hut make us sharer with England in financing the trade of the world.
