Y F THE United States and Denmark
strike a bargain and the three
islands which comprise the Danish
i West Indies are transferred to the
former, the sale will mark the culmi-
nation of a bit of bartering which be-
gan nearly fifty years ago, when the
American government offered $780,
600 for the 1873 square miles Of terri
tory in the Antilles, a sum exceeding
by 100000 the price paid to Russia in
the same year (S67) for the vast, rich
territory of Alaska, comprising an area
more than four thousand times as
large. The sale was not contaminated
because the United States senate failed
to ratify the treaty. says a bulletin of
the National Geographic society. Four
teen years ago negotiations were re-
newed and q price of 100000 was
agreed upon, but this time the Danish
parliament refused to sanction the
sale. although the islands had been
governed at loss to the mother coun-
try for many years, In fact ever since
slavery was abolished in 184S, thereby
putting an end to the profitable opera

With the present high prices of corn
and other grain foods, it is essential
that we exercise strict economy in
feeding the growing pigs, and also in
maintaining the breeding herd during
the time they are not in actual serv-
ice.
A well-planned system of grass and
forage crops will greatly reduce the
cost Of producing a pound Of pork, as
well as maintaining the breeding herd.
The size of pastures, and the kind of
forage and grass crops depend large
ly upon the location of the grower
and the number of animals in the
herd.
We prefer to have more acres Of
hog pasture than are needed to supply
the herd with succulent food, SO that
we can pillow under what is not eaten.
