Hogs Thrive at University Farm

Results of experimental work in
pasturing hogs at the Minnesota Elk
pertinent station this summer show
that the hogs there do not strave. R.
c. Asbby, animal husbandman in
charge of swine. fed a large number
of hogs different rations of grain along
with their pasture, with very salts
factory gains. One group of hogs,
settled on shelled corn and alfalfa
pasture, at cost of $500 for each
100 pounds of gain, returned gross
profit of $168. O9-not including lab
or, risk, interest or other overhead
per acre of pasture.
The farmer will be interested in
knowing what the results were. The
rations were as follows:
l. Three per cent of live weight
in shelled corn, with alfalfa pasture.
2. Four per cent of live weight in
shelled corn with alfalfa pasture.
8. Shelled corn, settled, with
alfalfa pasture.
4. Four per cent of live weight in
shelled corn with two pounds of but
termilk, per pig daily, and alfalfa
pasture.
5. Four per cent of shelled corn
with very light tankage ration and
alfalfa pasture.
6. Three per cent of ground bar
ley with rape pasture.
7. Three per cent of shelled corn
with rape pasture.
8. Four per cent of shelled corn
with rape pasture.
9. Shelled corn, settled, with
rape pasture.
10. Shelled corn, self fed, tankage
and rape pasture.
The results of feeding these various
rations including cost, profit per acre,
and profit per pig, appear in the fol-
lowing table:

CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED DEATH
 OF JOHN COWBOY

Whether the death of John J.-Con- roy was caused by illness or by A fall from an automobile driven by Michael Ouch, sa1oonkeeper of 386 Hanett street, Coroner John J. Phe- Ian is unable. to decide. It is likely, however, that he will find no criminal responsibility but that his finding will contain censure of Ouch for not main taining proper control of his autonao- bile on May l 3 when Conroy was in jured. Conroy died .n the Bridgeport hospital, Saturday. He had been ill before and went for a ride in the car driven by Ouch He was sitting on the knees of another man. Ouch in swerving out of the way of another car ran his own car.-into a tree at Pembroke and Arctic streets.
 According to witnesses before the coroner today the hood of the car was broken down over the people rid ing in front. The witnesses testified that Conroy apparently fell to the ground and did not strike the tree Be- sides Ouch, Andrew Zitnay of Arctic street and Alfred Oviatt of 1905 Main street, testified before the coroner to- day.

Washington, May 2S-State depart ment officials are greatly interested in the report that the Carranza gov ernment was about to transmit an other note to the United States deal ing with the- border situation.
 While. early despatches indicated that this contamination would be friendly in tone, a late despatch from Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City made officials less sanguine on this point
 MT. Rodgers was instructed re- gently to call to the attention of the de facto Government the fact that Mexican bandits had raided Glen Springs and sBoqufllas. The forth coming Mexican note is understood to- deal with this question.
 There are indications that Carranza may insist that the pursuit of the raiders into Mexico by Col. Sib1ey and Major Langhorne was illegal and un- necessary, as Gen. Obregon gave his pledge to Gems. Scott and Funston ordered into the Big Bend country to police the Mexican side of the line and stamp out the bandits.

When Mr.. Hughes hangs his head
in shame he perhaps is thinking OF
the occasion when President Taft
sent message to the governor OF
Arizona in response to the latter's
request for protection against Mexi-
can attacks. Said the then republi-
can president: Il must ask you and
the local authorities, in case the
same danger recurs, to direct the
people of Douglas to place them
selves where bullets cannot reach
them, and thus avoid casualty.
Thus while the democratic method is
to call the National Guard to colors,
the republican method appears to be
to order the citizens to crawl into
their cellars.

Exports of manufactures under
Wilson's administration have reach
ed $4,000, 100000 in single year,
which is the world record. Despite
these enormous sales in foreign mar
kets in free competition with the
world, Mr.. Hughes argues that
American manufacturers are not
able even to hold the home market,
unless he and Penrose erect tariff
wall. This means that he has gone
back to the old home market" argu-
ment of a generation ago, and would
give up a two-billion-dolla export
trade and hustle our infant indus
tries" into a cyclone cellar to escape
a campaign windstorm.

The Outlook, which is supporting
the republican candidate, in an edi-
torial, says that those who are ask
ing Mr.. Hughes to specify exactly
what he would have done had he
been in command at the critical
times during the past four years, are
demanding something more than any
human being can properly answer.
Such an explanation of silence is
doubtless the best the Outlook can
evolve, but it will hardly cover the
case to the satisfaction of the pub
lie 1t is case of truth proving I'M
satisfactory.

President Wilson's naval program
calls for construction to begin on
LOG vessels the present year, includ-

ships, some of the latter carrying 6
inch guns which are two inches larg-

the British navy. OF all this naval
