FIGS MAKE RAPID
GAINS ON SKIM MILK
MOST VALUABLE SUPPLEMENT
TO CORN FOR HOG FEEDING
THAT CAN BE HAD.
LOWERS THE FEEDING COST
euttermilk Is About Equal in Feeding
Value To Skim Milk For
Older Hogs.

Dairymen in certain sections OF
Louisiana have a surplus OF skim MIX
at present for which they can not find
market. AS a result OF feeding ex@
periments at a number of state ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country, il has been found that skim
milk is the most valuable supplement
to corn for hog feeding that can be
had. The amount of skim milk fed
in proportion to the amount of corn
has very little effect on the final re-
suits. However, for each pound OF
corn the amount of skim milk should
be somewhere between one and four
pounds. With young pigs, or pigs
Just weaned. greater proportion OF
skim milk will give better results than
with older animals.
At the Ohio experiment station II
was found that hogs fed with corn
and skim milk made gain Of 2o.1
pounds of pork for every bushel oil
corn compared to gain of 13.1 pounds
for every bushel of corn where they
were fed on corn with rape pasture
The animals getting skim milk also
made much more rapid gains thar
those on rape pasture. In another tes
at this same station hogs on pastur'
and fed corn alone made an averag,
daily gain Of 1.09 pounds per hea'
compared to an average daily gain o
1.65 pounds made hv hogs that wer'
fed skim milk in addition to the abov'
mentioned ration.
When skim milk is fed in addition
to corn the hogs make more rapi
and cheaper gains than when corn |
fed alone. In this connection it ma
be well to state that one hundre
pounds of skim milk is approximate
equal in value 10 one-half bushel I,
corn when fed In addition to corn a
compared to feeding corn alone. Blu

She responded to repeated demands for an encore by the patriotic Broadway hit, lover There" Miss Fogg has a sweet voice of fine timbre and great range and her selections greatly pleased the au- dience.
 F.. E. Ritchie. the silver tongued extemporaneous speaker of Valdez was next on the program. and he car ried his hearers with him as he des- cribed the devastation and rape of Belgium, the oppression of France and the brutality of the invaders of these countries. He predicted long war, and said that no sacrifice was too great to make to win the conflict. He stated that he could not under stand how any man could fail to stand behind the government and what 1t stood for, and related incidents of the great wars in which America has been engaged. He asked his hearers to be ready to make any sacrifice, to the last penny, the last breath, the last and most supreme sacrifice, to help check German militarism. He was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause from his audience, and his remarks were we'll chosen and timely.
 The Valdez Orchestra rendered sev- eral fine selections during the pro- gram, and followed MT. Ritchie's speech with stirring patriotic march.
 The chorus sang "The Red, White and Blue" in a manner which made the heart of each nearer respond to the music, and their number was al- so appreciated, judging by the man. ner in which they were applauded. Manager Owen Meals showed a reel of moving pictures depicting military life in the cantonments. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was next given, the large au- dience rising to it's feet and solemnly and impressively repeating the pledge universally adopted by the schools and colleges of the country: "I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the coun- try for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" The occasion was moment

ous one and every person in the audi ence without reservation renewed their pledge of fidelity to the grand American government and the prin- ciples for which 1t stood.
 The chorus sang America" the audience standing, after which they were dismissed and the floor cleared for daicing, which was indulged in to late hour.
 To the members of the city coun- cil who had the meeting in charge too much praise cannot he bestowed. That their efforts were appreciated is evil denced by the large crowd attending.
 Wm. Meals, assistant postmaster. painted the large pledge of allegiance and the work showed great merit from an artistic sense. His work was donated for the occasion.
 The chorus consisted of Mesdames Martin, Quinn, Clifton, Kramer; the Misses Ruth Selby. Pearl Miller. Blanche Fogg; Messrs, McGilvray, Noakes. Cuthbert, King and Robbins.
 The decorations were fine. huge American flags being festooned on the wells, which were also decorated with smaller flags crossed, and the chan deliers were hung with bunting.

MEETING IS
 HUGE SUCCESS
Nearly Every Person in Valdez takes solemn Pledge of Allegiance
 A Splendid Program

One of the largest audiences ever gathered in Valdez attended the pat riotic exercises at Eagle Hall Satur- day night. The program went off with out hitch and the persons respon- sible for the performance have req son to feel proud of the really credit able program rendered.
 Promptly at o'clock Attorney A. J. Dimond, chairman for the occasion mounted to rostrum, and after few brief eulogies on the energies dis played by Councilman Thos. Quinn in arranging the elaborate program. launched into an impassioned speech outlining the things this country stood for in the war for democracy, and rounding out his remarks with a vehement denunciation of those who wanted peace at any price, by point ing to the situation in Russia today, where the Bolsheviki had accepted German peace and laid down their aTLuS tO Scc tuclT COuutiy uCcPoAOu and dismembered. MT. Dimond's re- marks were greeted with tumultuous applause.
 A chorus composed of the best musical talent of Valdez then sang the national anthem, the audience standing at attention.
 Mrs. George John Finn entertain ed the audience with a reading from Richard Harding Davis vivid story of "The Deserter." Mrs. Finn is an elocutionist of rare ability and held her audience spellbound until the close, when she was given an encore.
 Little Miss Clarice Crawford deliv- cred a speech on the Flag, and res bonded to an encore by an approp- riate poem on the kaiser, which brot down the house. She spoke without embarrassment and in manner which showed much ability for one
