finished for Frank Nash in which
eleven Duroc-Jersey shotes were fed
ground wheat, on alfalfa pasture. for
thirty days. During the thirty days.
the hogs received s74 pounds of
wheat valued at $30.59. The average
gain per hog was 81 pounds or a total
OF BAL pounds. The value OF the
gains was $47.74. at lac per pound.
The hogs made 100 pounds Of gain
from every 256 pounds of wheat fed.
II cost nine cents per pound to put
on the gains for wheat consumed
The profit resulting from this thirty
day period was $17.15 The test will
be continued
The main object in conducting this
test was to determine wheather It
was still profitable with grain at pres
ent prices to feed IL to hogs while
they were running on good alfalfa
pasture. The results obtained are
gratifying.

gest In World, Again Under
Control.

The great gas well below Monte
gut, which has been running wild
for nearly week, was brought un-

out success. All day Sunday a
gang of men was employed in the
effort to save the huge gusher, said
to be the greatest in the world
Saturday night the Terrebonne Su-
gar Co., machine shop was kept
busy making a special derrick with
a big iron nose projecting out to
the front, which was used to hold
the eight inch nipple and valve. A
track was LAID to within few feet
of the well. On this the truck was
showed up close to the gas flow, I'M
til the nose" holding the nipple
was brought directly over the
spout Then the nipple was screw
ed into the casing and the valve
closed.
More than fifteen thousand
pounds of iron were placed on the
truck to keep it from being blown
away while the nipple was being
adjusted.
This we'll has an unprecedented
gas flow of 1872 pounds. Its rock
pressure is 1916 and its volume
from 70 to so million cubic feet
