GULL BEANS ARE
FOUND TO BE A
GOOD HOG FEED
MIXED WITH CORNMEAL THEY
MAKE ONE OF BEST FATTEN-
ING FEEDS YET FOUND.

East Lansing, Mich, Nov. 1.-The
large quantities of Gull beans left on
the hands of farmers as a result of
unfavorable weather at the time when
the bean crop was harvested, can with
certain precautions be used as feed
for livestock, bulletin from the ex-
pertinent station of the M. A. c. de-
clares.
"In fattening hogs" the report sets
forth, "the following results were OBJ
tanned: Fourteen hogs averaging 1855
pounds at the start and fed equal
parts by weight of Gull beans and
cornmeal, gained 1.52 pounds per head
daily and consumed 2.03 pounds OF
Gull beans and 2.93 pounds of corn per
pound gain.
Beans alone, while very cheap,
produced soft, flabby pork of poor
quality, and cannot be recommended
as satisfactory ration for fattening
hogs. When combined with an equal
weight of corn much better gains
were made and better quality OF
pork produced.
A brief copy of the results of the
feeding experiments can be obtained
by mailing request to the Director
of the Experiment Station, M. A. c.,
East Lansing.

Musical Topics
Edited by Mrs. X. L. Skahen

der the general title, my Father
land" in which the composer gives
his musical impressions of his native
land. OF these "The Moldau" is the
best known.
Among his compositions are also
two string quartets, the one bearing
the subtitle, "From My Life" in
which he sought to present sort of
autobiography in music. In the final
movement there is the persistent re-
currence Of a high note, which pre-
sumably is the tone he continued to
hear as deafness came upon him. On
account of this ailment he resigned
his post as director of the National
theater in 1874. His mind began to
wander and he died insane May IL,
1884.
Smetana is justly regarded as the
founder Of the Bohemian school in as
far as it gives expression to the ma
tional characteristics of his people
He was a great admirer and follower
of the modern school as represented
by List, Wagner and Berlioz.
Smetana's name is pronounced with
the accent on the first syllable.

Frederick (Bedrich) Smetana

Smetana is the father of the Bohe-
milan Czech school of music. He
was born in Leitomischl, Bohemia, on
March 2, 1924. He studied with
Proksch in Prague and for short
time with List, becoming very pro-
ficient pianist. He taught in Prague
for a number of years until, in 1856,
he was offered the post of director of
the Philharmonic society at Gothen-
burg, Sweden, which he accepted. He
remained there until the National the
alter was founded in Prague, when he
returned to his own country to asso-
ciate himself with a cause so keenly
sympathetic to him.
In 1866 he was made first conduc-
tor at the Prague theater and in that
post exercised a great influence ov-
err the younger musicians coming un-
der his observation. Among them
was Dvorak, who was a struggling
member of the orchestra at the time,
but destined to carry on his masters
work for Czechic music. The same
year Smetana brought out "The Bar
tered Bride" Bohemian folk opera.
While it had a great success in Boz
hernia. it was many years before the
world at large recognized it. 1t was
first presented in this country at the
Metropolitan opera house, under the
late Gustav Mailer in 1910. The
overture, however, was q favorite
concert piece many years before.
Smetana produced three other Bo-
hemian operas. His most important
contribution to the literature of the
orchestra are the six tone poems un-
