not yet been selected.
The committee designated by presi-
dent Hannah, of the Commercial Club,
two nights ago, to secure location,
announced today that it will be two or
three weeks until something definitely
is decided upon.
Interest in the proposed plant is
great in Hattiesburg, and throughout
this section. With the making public
of what the wood fiber mandatory
promoters have done elsewhere, this
interest has grown larger here.
1t was stated today that the plant
will have capacity of 125 tons OF
finished product daily. This means
that it will be one of the largest in the
United States, and more than twice
as large as the BOgalusa mills of the

than are paid in average manufactur-

FAVOR BLUE GRASS
FOR FEEDING SWINE
Not Generally Recognized That
Plant May Be Utilized for
Pork Production.

(By u. u. MUMTORD. Dean OF Missouri
College of Agriculture)
Blue grass has long been profltably
used by the Missouri farmer for feed.
ing cattle. 1t has not been generally
recognized that 1t may also be util.
lied for pork production. At the Mis-
souri, experiment station during the
iive-year period from 1908 to 1912 the
average amount of pork produced from
an acre of blue grass amounted to s26
when the live weight value OF hogs
was calculated at eight cents per
pound.
In securing these returns from blue
grass pasture 1t is necessary to recog-
nize two qualities which clearly dis.
tinguish blue grass from alfalfa, clover
and rape pasture. In the first place, a
much larger amount of grain must be
ted to hogs on blue grass than to hogs
on rape. clover or alfalfa Another diff
ference lies in the fact that during the
middle OF the summer from about
July Is to August 80 blue grass is of
little or no value for hog pasture. Dur
ing this time clover. alfalfa or rape
pasture should be provided. The grain
fed to hogs on blue grass pasture
should be well balanced-a grain mix
ture of six parts of corn and one OF
linseed oil meal. or ten parts of corr
and one part of tankage. A good ruil

Of grain to be fed is to feed Just as

SklMPING FOOD OF
COLT is EXPENSIVE
Feed and Care Young Animal
Gets Determines Largely What
II viii Be Later On.

1t Is poor policy to skimp the colts
feed, says ]. s. Montgomery of the
animal husbandry division of the Min
nesota college of agriculture. The
feed and care a colt gets the first year
and half of its life determines large
ly what 1t will be at maturity, Mr..
Montgomery says.
If the mare is worked. keep the
colt in cool, dark stall during the
day" he suggests. For the first few
weeks after foaling. bring the mare to
the barn and allow the colt to suckle.
Do this in the middle of the forenoon
and in the middle OF the afternoon, as
well as at morning, noon and night.
Encourage the colt to eat early,
preferably feeding crushed oats and
bran in equal parts. Let him have al
dalfa and clover hay as soon as .he will
eat it. Experience shows that ra-
ton OF corn and alfalfa gives better
results than a ration of corn and tim
othy or prairie hay"
MIR. Montgomery says the best ra-
tion for the colt during the summer is
good pasture grass. Maximum growth
comes with a feeding of some grain
with the pasture grass. Horses and
colts in the pasture should be given
ready access to fresh. cool. clean water
and to salt. A colt stunted early never
fully RECEIVERS. he says.
A little attention to the feet of the
colt will greatly repay by better feet
and legs in the mature horse, Mr..
Montgomery thinks. The heels should
be trimmed. he sayg, for they soon be-
come high, narrow and rolled under.
and the toes should not b. allowed to
grow abnormally long.

SKIM MILK CALF is
GROWING IN FAVOR
Equally as Growthy, Thrifty and
Vigorous as Those Allowed
to Run With Dams.

1t is now fairly well understood.
says the Nebraska college of agricul-
ture, that calves properly raised on
skim milk are equally as growthy,
thrifty, and vigorous as those raised
upon the whole milk or those allowed
to run with their dams. In fact, the
skim milk calf will oftentimes show a
more rugged framework than calf
raised on whole milk.
Except for the fat that has been
removed. skim milk is Identical in
composition with whole milk When
whole milk is taken into the calrs
body, the fat Of the milk is used to
produce heat to keep the calf warm
and also to form body fat This same
function can be performed very much
more cheaply by starchy grains such
as corn. kafir corn and oats.
The protein of milk which is the
constituent most concerned in muscu-
lar growth and the building up OF the
vital organs. is equally as abundant in
skim milk as in whole milk.

Who was he? The greatest and
most spectacular robber of the time.
For twenty-five years he had been
robbing mail coaches, residences, post
Offices and all sorts of repositories OF
money, and with such wonderful skill
that suspicion was never directed to
ward him until the close of his career,
when accident led to his undoing. He
was SO magnificent. so splendid. that
it seemed idiocy to accuse him of rob

crimes, Grandisson retained the pub
lie sympathy. In fact, he was almost
a hero; and the woman's story did her
no coed. She was sent to prison fol-
two years. and 1t soon developed
through police researches. that she
was a detestable character, who was
honored far beyond her deserts by
her association with the magnificent
