lief is not substantiated by the feeding
tests that have been conducted at sew
eral agricultural experiment stations.
A full feed of grain to hogs on good
pasture not only produces the most
rapid gains, but usually gives the most
profitable results. When account is
taken of the saving of labor and the
reducing of loss from disease by mar
keting animals at seven and nine
months of age instead Of keeping them
for year or more, the advantage is
almost always with the more rapid
growth. The self-feeder system which
permits hogs to eat grain at will either
in pastures or dry lots is becoming
more and more popular in the corn
belt states, and there seems to be no
valid reason why self-feeders should
not prove equally successful in all
parts of the country.

The hog should be considered as a

be accomplished the more profitable it
is for the owner. 1t is a common belief
that If the grain fed to hogs on pasture
is limited, more forage will be eaten

ITALY RATTFIES TREATY;

II is not probable that an indefinite
postponement will be risked, however.
When Great Britain, France and Italy
having accepted the treaty the three
approvals stipulated by the peace con-
ference before the treaty can become
operative will have been obtained.
Therefore Germany will be officially
at peace with Europe and a resumption
OF diplomatic relations can be begun.

Will discontinue its dictatorship and its
principal functions will pass to the
league OF nations
The first meeting OF the league must
be summoned within IS days after

after the treaty becomes effective a
