CURING SEED CORN A PATRIOTIC
n1ITv

The selection and curing Of seed corn
is patriotic duty this year, says A.
D. Wilson, University Farm, chairman
Of the State Committee on Food Pro-
duction and Conservation.
Mr.. Wilson gives the following rules
for the storing of seed corn:
It should be stored for the winter in
the house attic or in an unused second
story room where there: is good circu-
lation Of air, though a cellar in which
there is a heating plant may be used.
1t should be hung up in such a man.
ner that the air may circulate freely
about each ear, in order that the dry
ing process may be FASTENED and freez-
ing prevented before the ears are thor
oughly dry.
To secure the best results the corn
may be placed on corn tree, hung up
by the single or double string meth
cd, placed on a hanger made of electric
welded wire cut so that from verti-
cal central wire short prongs protrude,
or else placed on racks made of 2x4 3
with chicken wire netting or laths
nailed to both sides, so that the ears
Of corn may be put through the meshes
of the wire or laid across the edges
of the laths.

RAISING FALL PIGS AT UNIVER-
STTY FARM

After three years. tests in raising
fall pigs under fair conditions only,
without feeding milk, and including
the entire filters, runts and all, r. Z.
Ashby, specialist in charge Of swine at
University Farm, st. Paul, announces
the following averages:a
Beginning weight of pig.... 1874 lbs.
Final weight Of pig. ...... .lSl.l5 lbs.
Daily gain per. pig. SO lbs.
Grain required for 100 lbs.
Pork produced per Sc lbs.
grain fed ............... 12.22 lbs.
In all 146 pigs were started on these
feeding tests and !37 were marketed.
Eight of the IA lots fed were self
fed, all feeds being dry. Three diff
ferent rations were tried. The per-
centages of the ingredients consumed
were as follows:
l.. Shelled corn, S1.47 per cent;
shorts, I'LL per cent; tankage, 7.42
per cent.
2. Ground barley, s1.45 per cent;
shorts, 1855 per cent; tankage, 500
per cent.
8. shelled corn, COLO per cent;
ground barley, 1882 per cent; shorts,
9.07 per cent.
Summing up Mr.. Ashby says that
under Minnesota conditions The not
cost of pork is higher with fall pigs
than with spring pigs, though many
factors affect the results. The mar
gin of profit is not -Arge but it is rea-
sonably safe. With good shelter land
water available "a hours a day, fall
pigs will do we'll. The important facts
are dry, comfortable beds, water above
the freezing point whenever wanted,
freedom from parasites and all the
feed the pigs can use. More rapid
gains can readily be secured by the
use Of skim-milk or butter-milk. Wheth-
er these will be cheaper depends upon
the relative costs of all the feeds used.

kERENskY VICTORY SHORT
OPPOSITION REVERSES VOTE
FOR COALITION GOVERNMENT.
Latest Decision Is Blow Directly at
kerensky and Provisional
Government.

Petrograd, Oct. 4.rThe all Russian
democratic congress has voted, 813 to
100, against coalition government.
The decision is a blow directly at
Premier A. F. Kerensky and the pro-
vfsional government.
The same conference previously vot-
ed 766 to 688 in favor of a coalition Of
all parties In the formation of a cabt-
net which should firmly administer
Russian democracy.
The sudden change of mind by the
conference is fnexplicable, unless the
bolsheviki and anti-Kerensky forces
seized upon a moment in the proceed
ings when the majority elements were
absent to hurry through a reconsider
alton of the previous vote and then
had sufficient strength to overthrow
the previous vote sustaining Keren-
sky.
In the vote Of approval of coalition
government, the total number of dele
gates who participated was 1,454 The
second vote, for rejection, was cast by
only 993. Four hundred and sixty one
delegates were absent.
The demand for improved economic
conditions recently made by the en-
ployes of the principal Russian rail-
ways not having been satisfied, the
men have announced their intention
Of stopping work at once.

"Most Of us,' continues Mr.. Bull,
edo not realize the seriousness Of the
shortage Of roughage this year. If we
did we should save every bit of corn

order that hay may be baled for ship

1he constitutional convention in SEES
sisn in Massachusetts, has adopted an
amendment providing that the state or
its political subdivisions may buy or
sell the necessities Of life and establish
ice, coal and storage plants under state
or municipal management. This, it is
said was due to the influence of the
war. The amendment, however, is
commendable in times of peace. Wheth-
er put to use or not, it would surely act
toward a proper leveling of prices, and
serve to the great advantage Of the
people.
