JAPAN MAKES PROTEST
OBJECTS TO WORDING OF BUR-
NETT IMMIGRATION BILL.
President Wilson Requested by En-
peror's Ambassador 20 Eliminate
the Objectionable Feature.

Washington, April "a. - President
Wilson was asked by Viscount Sutemi
Chinda, the japanese ambassador, to
have the phraseology of the Burnett
immigration bill, now before the SEN
ate immigration committee, changed
SO that the apparent coupling OF the
Japanese people with those of Hindu
nationality would be eliminated. The
ambassador had talked the matter
over with Secretary Lansing, and, at
the request of the latter, asked the
president today to take up the mat
ter with Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, chairman of the committee. The
president is expected to ask that the
bill be changed to carry the language
agreed upon in this connection two
years ago when a similar proposition
came up.
1t is understood that the Japanese
ambassador called the presidents at
tention to the fact that the Japanese
government had agreed to restrict
coolie emigration to the United
States at the time of the original Cali
fornia immigration dispute and pro-
tested that now to write provision
of this character into the bill would
be an implied reflection upon the good
faith of the Japanese nation. And the
apparent inclusion of all of the
Japanese people with the Hindu class,
the ambassador explained, would be
serious affront to the Japanese.

SWINE REQUIRES SOME GRAIN
Expert at University Farm Gives ..

Corn to Hogs.

Can you afford to feed grain to yopr
hogs this summer?
r. 6. Ashby, in charge of swine at
University farm, st. Paul, saws Won
cannot afford to grow them without
grain. He gives the results of three
tests of feeding corn to hogs on rape
pasture to prove his claim.
Six 5O-pound pigs were put in each
of three lots, about a quarter of an
acre in size, on rape pasture. The MICS
in the first lot were fed half ration
q per cent of corn; that is, two
pounds of corn for every one hundred
pounds of live weight. Those in the
second lot were fed three pounds Of
corn for every one hundred pounds of
pig; that is per cent The pigs in
the third lot were fed a full ration.
per cent of corn. The pigs were on
good rape pasture eleven weeks-from
July 10 to September 26. Their gains
were counted as worth z cents a pound
and corn was charged at SIS cents a
bushel.
The returns paid for the rape pas
ture an acre were: Lot No. /, $3.50:
lot No. 2, $66.72; lot No. 3, s656O. If
the corn is figured at Is cents BUSH

three lots would be $43.16, $51.S6 and
$45.6O, respectively.
Without the feeding of grain, the
pigs would have gained little, Mr..
Ashby says. Rape may be expected to
pay $50 an acre as pasture only with

that the submarine was slightly dam

that the German fleet was not in the
