The potato silage seemed to be as pal
atable as the best corn silage. With
hogs, a lot fed approximately two
thirds of grain ration mixed In the
ratio of five pounds cornmeal, four
pounds of middlings and one pound OF
tankage, with potato silage equal in
weight to the grain fed, gave the best
results. The rate of gain, IA pounds
per head daily, was considered good.
Only 352 pounds Of grain were re-
quired for 100 pounds of gain. In this
lot one ton of silage saved grain to the
value of S25.22, figuring the cornmeal
at three cents pound, Potato silage
gives better results when fed to hogs
six months old or over.

the potatoes are first washed, using

sures an acid fermentation which con

 My Dear Mrs. Ashton:--I must take the liberty in writing you to give you cheering news. I spent little time with Captain Junius Walthall in the hospital at Bazoilles this afternoon. Col. John E. Walker the commanding surgeon. took me to his room where he Is comfortable, though with the right leg yet in sling. He was all smiles and his face is more full and he wears more healthy and vigorous expression than when I last saw him in Birmingham. He Is now complete lv out of the woods Col Dr. Walker tells me he will be able to go home in from four to five weeks Ana ne will be his old time self again, pr. Walker tells me, with but only q slight limp.
 "As you know he has been in ths hospital since July 18th. pr. Walker (who was chief surgeon at Bellevuo), said at first he had no hopes of pull | ing him through But now he IS him- self again. He has been a marvellous pa atient, of splendid courage, great will nower and wonderful temperament. He Is the favorite of all the hospital II really did me good to see him in such splendid spirits and apparently So happy.
 T know it will be gratifying to you to hear this good news.
 He was fearfully wounded, but these great and splendid surgeons have builded a new man out of what was left of him---and almost perfect man To you and the family he will be hii
