DURoc-JERsEY TYPE OF HOG.

fish meal supplement- consumed 1928
pounds more feed, gained total Of
2S,5 pounds more and cost SO cents
less per 100 pounds Of gain than did
the lot to which tankage was fed. At
the close Of the growing period the
average weight of the pigs fed fish
meal was 20l.5 pounds, while that for
the pigs getting the tankage supple
ment was 1915 pounds difference Of
ten pounds From observation there
could be noted no difference between
the two lots with respect to growth In
the way of general development which
would indicate that one ration was not
particularly superior to the other in
meeting requirements for growth in
pigs.
At the close of the sixteen weeks
growing period the same twelve hogs
were divided into different lots in or
der to have them as uniform as posi-
BILE to start the finishing period of
twenty.eight days.
Lot 3 received four parts cornmeal,
four parts middllngs, one part fish
meal
Lot received nine parts cornmeal,
one part fish meal.
Lot received nine parts cornmeal,
one part tankage.
The lot fed cornmeal, middlings and
fish meal during the finishing period
did not consume as much feed as the
lot fed corn and fish meal or the lot
fed corn and tankage. The cost Of
producing 100 pounds gain in the lot
fed cornmeal, hiddungs and fish meal
was 70 cents less than in the case of
the lot fed cOrnmeal and tankage.
Both lots, however, were about equal
with respect to the average gain per
pig during this period The lot fed
nine parts Of cornmeal and one part
Of fish meal made a better showing
than either of the other lots in the rate
of gain, pounds of feed fed per 100
pounds gain, and the cost Of 100
pounds gain.
From this experiment the conclusion
is justified that fish meal is a very
effective supplement to a grain ration
for pigs. Hogs relish it and are ex-
tremely fond of it, principally because,
like tankage it is Il flesh product.
In this experiment fish meal was
superior to tankage in all comparisons,
although the average daily gains and
rate of gains in all three lots used in
the experiment We're exceptionally
good.

FAILURES IN VERMONT IN 1916

Bradstreet's Burlington office reports
the total number Of mercantile failures
in Vermont for the year 1916 were GA in
number, involving assets of $267, 967 and
liabilities of $500, $40. The year 1915
gave the total number of failures in the
State as So, with aggregate assets of
/ 5000, OBJ and liabilities of 1891 ,22S OF
the total number failing in 1916, IA of
them represented 70 per cent of the total
amount of money involved or those hav-
ing liabilities of $4,000 or more. Two
of them represented total liability of
Sl96, 900. In considering the causes of
these failures it will be noted that 70 per
cent of them are traceable to causes
within the control of the individual fail
ing. Forty-six per cent Of the number
failing did so because of lack of capital,
while 81 per cent were classed as incom-
petent. Of the total number failing per
cent were classed as due to fraud Five
of the failures occurred among firms
doing business in wholesale way. Of
the various classes of dealers rs per cent
occurred among grocers, Is per cent
among dealers in cigars, fruits and con-
fectionery, II per cent were general
store keepers, 6per cent handled mems
furnishings and like per cent were
manufacturers of granite. The follow

DEER DIES UNDER PECULIAR
CIRCUMSTANCES.

George Ayers, who lives just over
the line from Mddebury in the town of
Salisbury, while spotting line on a
timber tract on the mountain, found the
body of a buck deer which had died
under peculiar circumstances, having
both horns hooked around two trees
The deer had evidently been rubbing
his head against a small tree about one
and a half inches in diameter which grew
about 10 inches from another tree about
four or five inches in diameter. The
small tree apparently bent toward the
larger one and allowed one Of the horns
to encircle it, and as the horns bowed in
towards the head the animal became
caught by both horns in such manner
that he could not extricate himself
The deer had fought to clear himself
and chafed the skin from the top of his
head. 1t is thought the animal had been
there about two weeks or more, as
foxes and bobcats had partly devoured
him.
County Fish and Game Warden George
II. Chaifee was notified and went to the
scene and found upon examination that
the deer in its struggles had broken his
neck, He removed the horns, which
were of unusual size and will have them
mounted. Mr., Chaffee thought the
deer would weigh about 200 pounds.

The president has the answer. 1t
is for selective draft Of men for
the army and navy, based upon the
principle of universal liability to
military service. By this means men
who are more useful to their country
in the factories and on the farms
would be kept there, and the armies
would be composed of those not re-
quired in industry. 1t is time for US
to wake up. This is no moment for
Congress to be gravely debating the

The Councilmen of the City of
River Falls were given nantes
tation of loyal support at a meeting
held in the election room Of the city
hall last Friday night. The meeting
was not called for exactly that pur-
pose. The chief idea Of the session
was to discuss the paving Of Main
street proposition. There was an
idea expressed by the promoters
that this was hardly the time to take
up the paving job, on account Of the
fact that prices are higher on prac-
tically everything. But instead Of
an indignation" meeting, the ses-
sion turned out to be, as we have
heretofore stated, a general a n d
hearty endorsement of the work
done by the City Fathers. Mr.. Whit
comb, Nj. Spence, Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Freeman and others gave voice to
the sentiment that the men Of the
Council had been giving this matter
careful consideration, and that they
were in a position to know better
than anyone else in town just what
the situation is, and these speakers
believed that that the Councilmen
were worthy Of the city's confidence
and trust. This we believe, reflects
the general sentiment throughout
the city. In regard to the paving
cost being abnormally high just now,
it may be explained that the bids
opened last Thursday were generally
higher than expected, but the costs
in each instance are not so much de
pendent upon the price Of material
as upon the cost Of labor. And it
is almost certain that labor will
never decrease in price. Then, too,
the best paving is that constructed
with creosote block, and as wood is
getting higher in price each year,
that, too, cannot be bought any
cheaper than this time. The
people Of this city will want paw
ing job that will last, even though

the cost be quite a bit more, in
preference to a cheaper job that will
need constant repair and that will
soon have to be replaced. The creo-
sote block paving will cost more,
but the city can well afford it, and
it would be folly to take the cheaper
grade now and have to keep con-
stantly repairing it until a larger
sum Of money is expended in a few
years than that required for the in
stallation of paving that will last.
