meeting Of the Commercial club that

nifty for a new and modern hospital
for Madison.
Following a meeting of the board
of directors Of the Commercial club
the general meeting was called to
order. A member proposed that
mean be considered for the erection
of a modern hospital for Madison.

were called for.

A tentative proposition was put
forward to plan TO raise part of the
necessary capital by popular sub
scription or the sale OF shares. The
remainder could be gotten then by
mortgage or bond issue. The amount
thought necessary was considered 10
be about $4,000. 1t was not thor

would cover site and building or only

would have to be obtained by other
means to be decided on later. The

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN FAHENING PIGS
Grinding Corn Saves 8 Per Cent
Alfalfa Meal Will Give
Economical Results.

(By T. E. LEIPER, Colorado Agricul-
turaI College, Fort Collins, Colo.
Two points need to be considered
when fattening young pigs for the
market, namely: how shall the corn
be fed, and what shall we feed with
it to furnish the growing animal with
muscle and BODYBUILDING constituents.
After conducting experiments for
ten consecutive winters, Henry found
that grinding corn effected a saving
of per cent. This means that, with
corn at So per hundred 81 cents can
be saved on every hundred pounds fed,
by grinding. If barley can be secured
cheaper than corn, the Colorado ex-
pertinent station recommends one-half
the corn in the ration being replaced
by the same number of pounds of
rolled barley.
A summary of 80 trials at various
experiment stations answers the sec
ond point. Although the pigs aver
aged 116 pounds when put on full
feed, the lots fed corn and another
feed rich In protein and mineral such
as tankage, wheat middlings, linseed
meal or alfalfa meal, made over 40
per cent larger gains and required q
per cent less feed for 100 pounds gain,
than the lots fed corn alone. Tank
age has proved to be one of the most
economical supplements with corn at
this station and should be fed one part
to six parts of corn.
Some feeders are wondering If all
falfa meal will prove economical IN
der the present condition of high
priced feeds. With alfalfa meal at
$50 per ton and corn at S2.75 per hum
dred, cost Of feed per 100 pounds gain
| is 1925. With tankage at $50 per
ton and corn at $2.75 cost Of feed per
100 gain is $12.95. The hog feeder will
find alfalfa meal nearly as economical
/ as tankage and when marketed
/ through hogs will assure him a good
| profit

interesting Figures Secured by Cali
fornia Experts on Pull Required
to Move Wagon.

An energetic and influential organ
iZatiOn on the Pacific coast, the Cali
fOrnia State Automobile association,
has carried on some investigations af-
fOrding definite figures of the value of
good roads. It secured the help OF Prof.
J. B. Davidson of the University Of
California and Austin 3. Fletcher,
state highway engineer, in carrying on
large number of tests of the pull re-
Quired to move q standard farm wagon
loaded to make the gross weight 5000
pounds. This wagon was hauled in
some cases by a two-ton truck and in
other cases by q team OF good draft
horses, weighing about 1,6OO pounds
each.
Tests have shown that q pull of q
to 80 pounds per ton of gross load was
needed to haul the wagon on unsur-
faced concrete roads. When the con-
crete was surfaced with oil and screen
ings the pull was increased to about 80
pounds. About 65 pounds were needed
for hauling on water-bound macadam
and on bituminous concrete laid on top
of cement concrete. On good gravel
roads a pull of IS to 81 pounds was
needed, while on loose gravel the pull
was 263 pounds, the highest record in
any of the tests. About 80 pounds
were required for hauling on bitumin-
Gus macadam. On earth roads 90
pounds were required for hauling over
a good surface covered with 1 II inches
of loose dust, 90 pounds over an ordi-

FArrENED STEERS READY FOR MARKET.

in case of the nondelivery Of stocR
that has been listed for shipment on
a certain day. This is one Of the COM
mon difficulties experienced by live
stock shipping associations. The man
ager orders car space for a certain
amount of stock, and when a part of
this stock is not delivered the shipping
expenses OF the other members are
increased proportionately. It is
thought, therefore, that by requiring
negligent members to pay the loss sus-
tanned through nondelivery of stock
the trouble would be brought to q min
imum.
The managers of some of the older
associations, together with others ia
miliar with the details of the business,
advise that the sinking fund be lin
tied to an amount sufficient only for
emergencies. The board of directors
should determine the size of the fund,
and when the full amount has been
accumulated the charges should be so
fixed as to maintain it at about that
point. This would do away with the
possibility of any trouble arising from
the distribution of a surplus as divf-
dends among the members.
In order that the shipments of the
association may be disposed of in
whatever manner may be found most
advantag eOuS under varying cOndi-
lions, the following may be added to
the fourth sentence of section I, chap
ter 2, Of the bylaws: cor from the pur-
chaser of the stock Similarly, sec
ton 2 of chapter may be modified by
inserting after shipment cor by the
purchaser of the stock"
Some associations have included IN
the bylaws a chapter stating that non
members who ship stock with the as
ISOLATION will be charged small fee
for the privilege. This fee varies from
two to five cents per hundredweight
and is placed in the general fund. The
ACCESSIBILITY of such plan, at least IN
til the association is well established
in community, is doubtful. Many are
of the opinion that it tends to keep
farmers from shipping their stock with
the association, and as successful CO.
operation depends largely upon patron
age every effort should be made to
assure it.

WINTER ATTENTION TO RAMS
IL Expected to BE Kept in Good, Viuor-
GUS Condition He Must Be Given
Some Grain.

During the summer months, when
the ram Is allowed to run on pasture,
he does not need grain; but in the
winter, if you expect to keep him in
good. vigorous condition. he must be
supplied with grain at least a month
before the breeding season.
A mixture of two parts oats and
one rart bran has given unusually
good results in some of the larger
f1ocks OF the West. This ration does
not produce fat, but does keep up the
vigor of the ram.
1t is impossible to suggest the ex-
act amount to be fed, for this can only
be determined by watching the ANIMAL
and studying his conditions.
