lighter Austrian artillery brought up
to close range. The bombardnn ent
blew to pieces the first line trenches
of the Montenegrin on the lower
slopes, slaughtering hundreds Of
Mount Lowcen's defenders before
they could escape.
A combined Austrian assault car
ried the second line positions near
the summit. Harassed by a terrible
fire from artillery and machine guns,
the Montenearins were pushed over
the summit, fighting desperately after
suffering enormous losses.
CettinJe stands on an elevation

HOG PASTURE.

Pigs make the cheapest gains on
pastures. Trials at the North Da-
kota Experiment Station indicate that
brood sows running on good pasture
and nursing filters will do as well
when receiving one to n and a half
pounds of grain per each 100 pounds
live weight of sow, as sows in dry lot
receiving 2h pounds grain per day
per each 100 pounds live weight. The
pasture just about cuts the food cost
in two. The pasture alone does not
furnish enough feed for either the
brood sow with litter or for the wean-
ed pigs. They should be fed some
grain, SO as to make rapid growth. In
this way the spring spring pig can be
ready for market before the real cold
weather sets in.
Alfalfa, clover, bromus and winter
rye make the earliest pastures. When
these have not been provided early
spring seeding of such grains as oats
and barley or rape are the next best
thing.
