RATI0NS FOR HOGS.
Breeding Animals Require Feeds Rich
In Bone Making Elements.

In order that losses by accident may
be prevented and the period of useful
ness of the animals for breeding pur-
poses heightened, breeders want hogs
with strong, dense bones Since cereal
grains are low in mineral elements,
they should be supplemented by feeds
rich in these constituents.
When confined in yards hogs are Of
ten fed largely or entirely on grain
rations, so that their bones are soft
and easily broken. Nutrition studies
conducted at the Ohio experiment sta
ton proved that cereals alone will not
produce normal growth of bone. Corn
alone and corn with soy beans pro-
duced the least bone. Rations of corn
supplemented by tankage and by skim
milk produced the most bone.
Because of their high protein and
lime content alfalfa and clover hay
may be fed to advantage to mature
breeding hogs, and in the spring green
leguminous crops may be used. For
feeding in connection with grains to
breeding hogs in confinement the ex-
pertinent station also recommends
lime. corncob charcoal. bone -four and
wood ashes. These may be fed in self
feeders, preferably mixed with a small
amount of salt.-Bulletin Ohio Station.

tlce officials in this city have pre-
pared for presentation to a Federal
Grand Jury evidence in their posses

spiracy in this country. While their

learned that important documents
had arrived by messenger from
washington, which, it was believed,
would further connect DR.. Ernest

tache of the German Embassy, who
sailed with Count Won Bernstorff af-
ter indictments against him in this
country had been dismissed.
DIR. Sekunna and Or. Chakraberty

police, confessed that they had plot
ted under direction of Won Igel to
invade India with a military force
by way of China.
II was disclosed that on February

After searching the quarters of
the two men the authorities an
rounced they had found a letter
written in code which indicates DR..
Sekunna had been in communication
with persons in Berlin, Petrograd

Department Of Justice pointed out,
however, similar occupations on the
part of German spies had been found
to be ruses for them to operate with

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE
See That Washed Sailor From Deck

Swept from the deck of the Unit
cd States naval transport Caesar
during a storm in midocean, and
then blithely tossed back by coun-
ter wave, Third Assistant Engineer
MILFORD Daniel Archer arrived here
yesterday aboard the steamship Ali
cante, of the Spanish Line, and told
a Herald reporter about his miracu-

raging. and as | bent over to reach
for the valve huge sea swept over
the deck and took me along.
1T carried me a considerable dis
tance from the vessel. and | felt that
no power on earth could save me in
that kind of weather. The Caesar
seemed to my dazed eyes to be fully
an eighth of a mile away. And then
closed my eyes and began think
ing of the end and what might be
beyond. Everything came to me in
hay sort of way, but | do remem-
Der that | thought of my tailor in
San Francisco, my home town, and
was wondering what he would think

whether he would think that | had

water churning all about me and
was spun around like top and then
hurled forward with lightninglike
rapidly. AS | reached out instinc-
lively my hands came in contact

and held on like grim death. 1t

A NEW FUEL FOR FLYING.

Paul G. Rickel, 23 years old, avia-
tor Of six years experience and pu-
pill of the late Lincoln Beachey, be-
lieves he has discovered new fuel
oil for airplane engines that will rev.
olutionize flying and smash long dis
lance flight records.
Young Rickel declares that he has
faith enough in his secret that he
will attempt flight across the At
lantic Ocean. after which he will
present the United States Govern
ment with the formula for making
the oil, which. he says. does away
with carbonizing in engines.
The inventor estimates he could
fly across the ocean in 40 hours

Warding OFF Potato Diseases.

Experiments conducted in Minnesota
for the control of potato diseases dur
ing 1914 and 1915 show that the aver
age yield OF potatoes per acre increased
fifty-six bushels in sixteen fields under
experiment by careful selection and
disinfection of seed. Spraying expert
ments for seven years gave an average
annual Increase of sixty-three bushels
per acre of early potatoes sprayed
three times with bordeaux mixture or

Starting With Sheep.

An important feature in starting the
sheep business is to quickly work into
flock of around a hundred ewes or,

Of Illinois. eve for each two acres of

ing weeds and waste feed and inciden-

flock that often is diseased and be-
cause Of its insignificance in the farm
