GRAIN CONSUMPTION
VARIES DURING YEAR
Feeding Of Oats Is More Uniform
Than That of Corn.
Barley, Wheat and Rye Approach
Monthly Uniformity in Degree Less
Than oats-Silage Reaches
High Point In February.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of -Agriculture.)
Whether the supposltlon is that the
consumption of corn by live stock on
farms in the United States varies
little from month to month, or that
the summer consumption is relatively
small, the fact as ascertained by the
bureau of crop estimates, United
States department of agriculture, Is
that during the six months from May
TO October nshrly three-eighths of the
years corn ration Is eaten, and from
November to April five-eighths. The
warm-weather fraction will seem large
or small according to the size of the
guess. Oats, more than corn, is the
feed from April to September, and the
monthly consumption of oats is more
uniform throughout the year than that
of corn. Barley, wheat and rye APP
proach monthly uniformity In degree
less than that Of oats throughout the
year and a concentration of consump-
ton in the colder months Is found in
hay, silage and mill feed, as in the
case of corn.
OF the years entire consumption OF
corn by live stock on farms the high
est consumption in one month Is lilo
per cent In December, and the lowest
4.6 per cent in August. For oats the
highest is 9.S per cent In April and the
lowest 6.8 per cent in DecemberS bar
ley, highest 1919 per cent in November
and lowest 6 per cent in June and also
In July; rye, highest 1913 per cent in
October and lowest IL per cent In
July; wheat, highest ia per cent in
November and lowest 5.S per cent in
July.
Mill feed consumption says to 4.8
per cent In July and rises to 11.5 per
cent in February and again In March,
More unequal yet Is hay consumption,
with its range from the highest, 14.2
per cent in February and also In
March to 80 per cent in August; and
another degree Is reached by silage,
the consumption of which rises to 1913
per cent of the years total In Febru-
airy ans falls to per cent in July and
again in August.

IMPORTANCE OF OUR OUTDOOR LIFE

Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, that dean
of American fighting men, strongly
urges that both state and federal aid
be given to every legitimate movement
to make attractive and perpetuate our
outdoor interests.
Hunting and fishing he places in
the front rank of outdoor sports, which
he believes was one of the greatest
factors in making 1t possible for Uncle
Sam to cross the seas with an army
capable Of standing the strain and
acquitting themselves as our boys did.
General Scott knows whereof he
speaks. Retired under the age limit,
his robust body and keen mind per-
mitted him to spring back into the har-
ness at his country's call. He credits
his fitness to the clean outdoor life
he has lead.
The most important thing to keep
In mind Is the sensible conserving of
the game and fish we now have. No one
section of the country must be allowed

their families pleasant. This is done
by installing labor-saving corveniences.

There is every reason why farmers

where the feed of the hog is more
varied and where corn is not relied
upon as the principal grain for hogs.
The principal breeds of the lard
type are the Poland China, Berkshire,
Chester White, Duroc-Jersey and
Hampshire. The lard type Of hog Is
low set and compact, with a very
wide and deep body. The shoulders
should be full although not coarse,
with full hind quarters and hams car
ried out straight to the tail and thick
ly fieshed down to the hook. The flesh
should be thick and evenly distributed
throughout the body.
The size and weight are largely de-
termlned by market conditions. AT
present pigs weighing from 175 to $50
pounds ordinarily command the high
est prices.
Best Bacon Types.
The principal breeds Of the bacon
type are the Tamworth and large
Yorkshire, both of British origin. The
bacon type is very different from the
lard type. being longer in leg and
body, with less width of back and
lighter in the shoulders and neck. The
first impression that this type conveys
is one of leanness and lankiness'
Much emphasis is laid on the develop
ment of side, because 1t is the side OF
the hog that is used for the produc'
ton of bacon. On the other hand
large, heavy hams are not desirable on

fair on Oct. 6

Judging from the returns already
made from the sale of tickets the
entertainment committee of the Rar-
itan Yacht Club are already assured
of a complete success for the smoker
and vaudeville entertainment which
they will stage in Palace Hall on the
evening of October 6. With this en-
couraging news at hand 1t was de-
cided to somewhat lengthen the pro-
gram by the addition of two extra
vaudeville numbers with the express
ed idea of making this affair the big
gest and best entertainment of its
kind ever presented in this city.
Bookings for the twelve vaudeville
numbers on the program have been
closed. Several of these were made
well in advance of the date for the
smoker in order that excellent talent
could be assured. While the COM
mittee has the entire program COM
pleted, no announcement of the per-
sonnel of same will be made for the
present. However, 1t should be stated
hat all of the entertainers are head
liners and, with but one exception,
have never appeared in Perth Amboy
before.
Joseph McNulty, promoter OF the
local Lotos Athletic Club, WHO will
be in charge of the second part of
the evenings festivities, promises a
six-round final boxing bout which
will keep the smokers on tiptoe from
start to finish. This bout will be
between two fast boys who have al
ready won their spurs In the fistic
arena. The other bout on the pro-
gram will be for three rounds and
will meet with the hearty approval of
all present.
Blaine Pritchard's orchestra aug
mented by several clever "jazzers''
have been engaged to furnish the
music. George Gladding. one Of the
best known pianists in New York and
who has been following this line of
entertainment for many Years, will
accompany the performers In the
vaudeville numbers.
While this stag" has been ar
ranged by the Raritan Yacht Club
for the entertainment of Its members,
the committee desires 1T to be known
that all friends of the club are invit-
ed to be present and enjoy what they
feel assured will be one Of the sea
sons best smokers.
