GRAIN AND ALFALFA
HAY FOR THE LAMBS
Grinding Not Profitable Under
Present Conditions, Accord
ina to Nebraska Station.

Experiments conducted at the Ne
braska Experiment station during the
last winter indicate that the grinding
of grain and alfalfa hay for lambs is
not profitable under present condi-
lions. While lambs fed a mixture OF
ground corn and ground alfalfa went
on full feed quickly, cleaned up their
feed each meal, and remained thrifty
and vigorous throughout the entire
feeding experiment, their increased
weight was put on at a cost consid-
erably higher than that of lambs fed
shelled corn and whole alfalfa hay.
The difference amounted to practically
81 on each 100 pounds gain. The
same striking difference was notice
able in comparing lambs fed on ground
corn, ground alfalfa, and corn silage
and those fed shelled corn, whole al
fafa, and corn silage.

per cent amounts to $11.10 for every
SOW pen, and the annual cost of each
pen, including interest, depreciation,
repairs, and insurance, would be about
s27, which is amply sufficient to pay
for a good pen outright. 1t is hard
to see how such building can ever
pay for itself.
A large house should always stand
east and west, facing the south, so
that the maximum amount of sunshine
may be had in each pen. When a
double house is used, the outside pens
on the north are often of little use
in. early spring and late fall on ac-
count of the shade and the cold winds.
This difficulty can be partially over
come, however, by changing sows so
that those which have not farrowed
and those with the oldest pigs, which
have least need of the warm pens, are
on the north side.
In the majority of large hog houses
the upper windows are not so placed
that the sunshine will strike the floor
when it is most needed there. In
deed, hog house with the windows
in the proper position is rarely seen.
Direct sunshine should strike the floor
in every pen for as many hours in the
day as possible at the time when the
pigs are narrowed. Nearly everyone
realizes this is a matter of the great
est Importance, but too often the build
er does not take the trouble to find
out whether he is getting it or not,
Ordinarily the farmer has no means
Of ascertaining where to put the wins
dows so as to get the maximum
amount of sunshine at the time he
wants it, unless he happens to be
building just at that time, which Is
very unusual. The country is dotted
with hog houses in which the owner

care for them early in March. Early
March pigs are large enough to begin
to eat as soon as pasture is ready and
thus get the longest possible pasture
season, and can be expected to make
more pork from grass than is possible
for later pigs. They can be kept on
pasture until ready for market, or
nearly so. Not only can they make
more use of pasture but they can
make more economical use of all feed
because they can be finished for mar
ket before the cold weather of winter
sets in when grains are more expen-
sive. If these pigs are crowded, many
of them can be marketed by the first
of October. Without good house
two filters a year cannot be raised
to advantage, because the spring pigs
must be put off until so late that the
fall filters do not get well started be-
fore cold weather, but with a good
house two filters can well be raised.
Most farmers do not feel that they
can keep an old SOW for one litter,
but with two litters it becomes a diff
ferent proposition. 1t is universally
conceded that old sows raise better
pigs than young ones, and the keep
ing of old sows enables one to select
and keep only the best producers.
A little pig loves sunshine and
needs it almost as much as he needs
food. No piggery is fit for the pur-
pose unless it admits direct sunshine
onto the floor of every pen at the time
the pigs are farrowed, furnishes
plenty of fresh air, and provides for
exercise in the open air. Dryness,
sunshine, warmth, fresh air, freedom
from drafts, and exercise are Of pri-
mary Importance in raising pigs.
These secured, the battle is half won.
In putting up buildings the six re-
quirements just mentioned must be
kept constantly in mind; not one can
be neglected. ,...."a.

Serves His Country Well.

Corporal Charles Sarrugue. veter-
an OF the Franco-Prussian war, In
which he won the Legion of Honor, Is
again serving his country at the age of
seventy-six years, this time as sap
per, and was recently awarded the war
medal. He is rather small, with snow
white beard, and has the appearance
of a man of forty. In private life he
is a civil engineer. For twelve years
before the war he was mayor OF his
native town of Auxerre. In 1870 Cor.
poral Sarrugue had been called to the
colors as civil engineer and given
the rank of captain. He was twice
mentioned in dispatches. After the
war he occupied himself with munic-
ipal affairs in his native town, and
Auxerre owes much to him for his ex-
cellent administration. When the pres
emit war broke out, he offered his
services, passed the examination, and
after three months OF training was
sent to the front.

AMONG THE c OATS FOR SPRING.

A candidate for favor, among the
seen to provoke approving smiles,
presents its plainness and its graceful
ness and it's modishness all at one
glance. The charm of simplicity be-
longs to it, or, at any rate, it looks
simple, but with a simplicity which
attests that it has been thought out by
an artist.
A material in black or a very dark
color with narrow but pronounced
stripe in white gives the garment a
very fine start in the good graces of
fashionable women. It's lines are cor
rect, assuring one of the two accepted
silhouettes, and it is distinguished by
certain original touches in it's finishing.
All of which goes to prove that it
belongs to the smart set in the world
of apparel.
AS pictured, the coat is made in
black and white and fastens down the
front with five large black buttons
having varying stripes of white on
them. No two are exactly alike. The
coat sleeves, as plain as can be, are
finished with oddly shaped cuffs that
evidence no intention of following the
example of the sleeves in the matter
of plainness. They are adorned with
two buttons, like those on the front,
but in a smaller size.
A slit pocket is set in at each side.
And, since it would never do for peck
cts to be negligible this season, they
make opportunity for shaped bands,
applied about the slit and garniture

two of the accepted modes in millin
cry for spring. At the left of the
group a straw sailor has a wide, fiat
brim. The crown is covered with
faille ribbon put on in four sections.
Over this ribbon covering ladder"
bows extend from the center to the
base of the crown at the middle of the
front and back and of the two sides.
They terminate in loops and ends that
lie fiat on the brim.
A milan hemp, in gray, is shown at
the right. 1t is covered with gray
crepe. At the right side the brim
turns, up sharply A band of narrow
velvet ribbon encircles the crown, fin
tshed with bow at the left side. The
striking feature in this hat is its bead
embroidery. The peacock feather
motif appears on the front and side
brim and on the crown, embroidered
in small beads set close together.
A bell-shaped black hat at the top
of the picture is perfect example OF a
popular type. 1t is of lustrous straw
trimmed with loops of taffeta ribbon
perched on top Of the crown. Lac
quered rose foliage covers part of the
crown, and springs up among the loops
of ribbon. This hat is all black ex.
cept for the large pink rose at one
side.

foliage trimmings are immensely pop

the alley doors and few small hog
doors.
The writer has personal knowledge
of another hog house quite similar to
this but only about half as large. the
only openings being one alley door,
one hog door, and one small window.
In this house over 80 per cent of the
early pigs were lost in some seasons,
mostly from thumps. The loss in a
single season would have more than
paid for good building. 81
The owner Of a new hog house once

with conveniences of the best sort
and appeared to be ideal in every
respect except one-cost. 1t contained

proximately $4,000, or 1922 a pen.
