After listing the various feeds and
combinations Of feeds used in exten-
sion hog feeding tests at Iowa agri'
cultural college, Professor Evvardsays:
Each buttermilk hog drank 32 pounds
of butternilk, ate less than half az
much of the So corn, only one-thirc
as much of the 800 tankage, only two
thirds as much of the $40 midd!ings
and actually reached weight of 2ae
pounds some 62 days before the hog

in dried powder form. There are

Defense Of the sparrow.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: 1t was a
shock to our democratic instincts to
read in the official statement OF a
recent bird census the terse SEN
tence, English sparrows not count
ed" We insist that the English
sparrow is bird and to eliminate the
sparrow from a bird census is no
whit different than eliminating q GER
tain race from a human census.
In this contemptuous disregard for
the sparrow, this implication that the
sparrow is either so numerous or so
far down in the scale of bird life as
to be unworthy of enumeration, we
discern a snobbishness that does not
blend harmoniously with that large
ness of soul which takes within its
love the birds of the fields and the
trees. ST. Francis, we are certain,
would never have snubbed a sparrow.
Frankly do we declare our admira-
tion for the sparrow; he is bird
among birds, competent self reliant,
without fuss or feathers. He Is a
plain little democrat who hustles his
own living, asking no doles, COM
plains not of the winds or the
weather. Gayly he firts with death
in the streets, taking his chances
with wheels and hungry alley cats.
When it is cold he huddles on the
lee side of chimney; when the sun
shines he chirps and twitters with a
happy heart. No one ever thinks Of
setting bread crumbs out for him;
he scorns charity; does not believe
that the world owes him a living. He
and his equally competent mate rear
their families and achieve the great
end in nature-adjustment to environ
ment. Why then, should they be
ignored by bird lovers? Why should
they be communicated from bird
dom?

REApY.MIxED HOG FEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The breeder should use his own mind
and Judgment in mixing the percentage
of his feed for hogs. He can find all
the tables in Henry C Morrison's Feeds
and Feeding and in his agricultural
college bulletins; and II he has the IA
cilities can arrange and balance ra-
ton on the basis prescribed. He would,
however, save himself great deal OF
time and labor and get more exact re-
suits should he ask the state feed in
spection department for its published
lists of all mixed feeds registered In
the state, and choose those ready to
feed which viii meet his requirements.
He will find it to his advantage to
know the game. He must use his own
noodle in determining the quantities
of each feed for each lot Of pigs at diff
fcrent times during their growing pc
riod.
Professor Evvard says: 'The young
growing pig weighing 80 to 60 pounds
should eat about one pound Of protein
for every four pounds of carbohy-
drates.

Labor Divorced From Work.

Samuel Crowther: 1t is this aes-
thetic divorce Of labor from work
that is behind much of what we may
call industrial unrest" There is a
great clatter about rights and only
few whisperings about work. The
prevailing tendency is to agree with
those who assert that the war made
a new world" and that the great
cataclysm of war swept away all OF
the unloyeiiness and hardship which
have been with us for SO many thou
sands of years. But if you will look
about you will discoved that fish are
just as hard as ever to take from
the sea, that grain does not grow
any more readily or more quickly
than ever it did. that the mines do
not give up their contents by tap
ping them with wand, and that
there are no fairies about ready to
clothe and feed the multitude. In
fact the more you examine into this
old world the less you can discover
in the way of improvement wrought
by several years of war. 1t is poorer
| than it was, it is producing less than
it did, and it has its sense OF values
considerably Jared and twisted.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Modern Method.

Apparently publicity will figure very
largely in the four cornered gubernato-
rial contest in Vermont this year, at
least, that appears to be the popular
assumption. Il Is also expected that
in the national campaign printers ink
will figure more largely than ever be
fore.
The introduction Of newspaper adj
yertising into political campaigns is of
fairly recent origin but the results
attained have been such as to proclaim
il as the logical manner of getting
the views of candidates and the prin
eiples Of parties before the people.
One newspaper advertisement
reaches more people in day than any
candidate could hope TO talk to in a
month and moreover il reaches PEG
pie Of all political beliefs. whereas, the
political rally generally proves TO be a
magnet for staunch party followers and
very generally Is waste OF money and
energy
The new method of fighting political
battles in the advertising columns of
the newspapers will develop a. time
goes on because il is a practical. bust
nesslike way Of waging a campaign
and by far the best method of getting
facts to the attention Of the voters

channel would be secured with the
smallest possible outlay of money"
The possibilities are OF such magni-
tude that the subject should be stud
led carefully with reference to the prac-
tieability of the project"
The Recorder Of Greenfield, Mass,
says in this connection;
Burlington, VT, is reviving the an
cient scheme OF connecting the st.
Lawrence river with Lake Champlain
by means of canal following the
course of the Richelieu river. As ca
mails go, it would not be an expensive,
project, but thegreater part of the work
to be done lies with Canadian territory
while the benefits to be accrued would
be chiefly to lake ports. The Vermont
view, however, seems to be that the
opening of such a waterway would
mean the development of an important
water commerce between Canadian
points and New York, with great ben
eft to both countries"
Sooner or later this broader view
viii gain sufficient impetus in New
York, Washington, Montreal and OF
tawa, and elsewhere to ensure the sue
cess of this comparatively cheap in
ternational waterway. Then between
