IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN FAHENING PIGS
Grinding Corn Saves 6 Per Cent
Alfalfa Meal Will Give
Economical Results.

(by y. e LEIPER. Colorado Agricul-
turaI College, o Collins. Colo.
Two points need to be considered
when f%attening 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 6 per cent. This means that, with
corn ut So per hundred q 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
n corn in the ration being replaced
by the same number of pounds of
rolled barley.
A summary of 80 trials at various
experiment stations 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 al
falfa meal will prove economical IN.
der the present condition of high
priced feeds. With alfalfa meal at
SO per ton and corn at $2.75 per hun
dred, cost Of feed per 100 pounds gain
is $12.95. With tankage at $50 per
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.

in case of the nondelivery of stock
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 Il certain
amount of stock, and when n part of
this stock Is not delivered the shipping
expenses of the other members are
increased proportionately. 1t 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
liked 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 divi-
dends among the members.
In order that the shipments of tho
association may be disposed of in
whatever manner may be found most
advantageous under varying condi-
lions, the following may be added to
the fourth sentence of section 1, chap
ter 2, of the bylaws: Tor from the pur-
chaser of the stock" Similarly. Sec
ton 2 of chapter 3 may be modified by
inserting after shipment" Tor by the
purchaser Of the STOCK"
Some associations have included in
the bylaws a chapter stating that nom
members who ship stock with the as
will be charged a small fee
for the privilege. This fee varies from
two to five cents per hundredwelght
and Is placed in the general fund. The

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

Since the Inauguration of the
Goods Roads" movement in Ken
lucky and the construction of many
miles of the best roads found in
America, this State has been quite a
haven for tourists, coming from al
most every State in the Union.
Many of our farmers have failed to
recognize an dgrasp the benefits de-
rived through the medium of public
ity, in placing their names on gates
and entrances to their farms. l am
calling upon the landowners in every
county in this Commonwealth to
please have a board or sign painted
giving the name of the owner of each
farm, also the name of the farm, if
same bears such, and post in a con-
spicious place, on the gate or post at
the entrance to the farm. This will
require but little effort and expense
upon the part of each landowner and
the benefits derived through such
simple and inexpensive methods of
publicity can not be er-estimated.

TUBERCULOSIS SYMPTOMS.

The early symptoms of consump-
ton are persistent cough and contin-
ued hoarseness, loss of weight and
appetite, run down, tired feeling, per-
sistent pain in the chest, afternoon
temperature, night sweats, splitting
of blood, and streaks of blood in the
sputum. These symptoms should
cause anyone to consult a physician
as delay may prove dangerous.
Taken in its incipiency, consumption
can be cured. If allowed to run on,
it becomes difficult to cure it. The
best method of cure is sanatorium
treatment, but when that is impossi-
BILE the treatment may be followed at
home, if the patient can be given
plenty of nourishing food, fresh air,
kept perfectly clean and will follow
the advice of competent physician.
To avoid the infection of others the
sputum should be eXpectorated in
cups or other suitable receptacles
and burned and other precautions OBJ
served. If unable to get sanatorium
treatment, write to DR.. w. L. Heller,
Secretary of the State tuberculosis
Commission at Frankfort and he will
send a pamphlet which deals eXclu-
sively with the home treatment.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the
surfaces of the system.

"SUCKERDAY."

AS I remember it, the best day on
the calendar for us SchOOlbOys was
Saturday. They might have elimin-
ated the others in the fifty-twO weeks
of the year if they'd just left that
one each week for "we-uns," for that
was the day we got our sucker hooks
and cotton lines, cut an alder pole
along the creek bank and settled our
selves in a favorable bend where the
water eddied and suckers were
a-plenty. Saturday might, with pro-
priety, have been changed to Sucker
day, for that is about all it meant to
us. Of course, we didn't linger
around the house much to ask if
there were any chores to be done,
or wood to chop or errands to run or
fences to whitewash like Tom Saw
yer did. No stree! We got our
worms dug the night afore and
sneaked out of the house before
breakfast and by doing so we devel-
oped a Hfe-sized fisherman's appetite.

GERMANS TRAIN BOYS.

Germany has system of military
training for her boys, according to
recent reports from Berlin. Only
boys from 16 years up to the military
age are included. At the beginning
of the war, large numbers of boys
of this age volunteered for the army,
but were rejected on account of their
youth. The authorities wished to
seize the opportunity for taking ad
vantage of their military enthusiasm
while it lasted, and organized them
into companies and regiments for
drill. They are taught rudimentary
military maneuvers, and are care
fully drilled in loyalty to their com
rades, devotion to the Kaiser, and
above all to a belief that this is a
war for Germany's existence, and
that if she is defeated she will be
partitioned among the allies.

Sacrifice of the lawn is part of a

All vegetables grown on the prison
