Russian Bison ExtermInated.

What has happened, during the war.
to the bison herds Of Central Europe2
Protected by ukase Of the Car
Alexander, bisons still existed in some
private parks of Poland and Lithuania,
the last Of their kind In Europe. Count
Potocki's herd was kept in an immense
park. and for some time was protected
by the Cossacks Of the Don. But &C.
cording to French writer, NJ. Grand
idier, there Is no doubt as to their
ultimate fate. In 1917 the bolsheviki
thought fitting to include the herd In
their policy Of determination. Bisons
could not be owned by everybody.
therefore they must be owned by no
body, and so, in the general cataclysm,
the famous herd disappeared.

Feeds That Aid in Pig Growing.

Testa in swine feeding at the Ohio
station show that pigs, when fed ON
corn alone, make costly and slow gains
as compared with the more up-to-date
methods Of using supplemental feeds,
such as tanksge or skim milk, with corn.
Pigs fed on corn only have gained less
than pound day, while lot fed nine
quarts Of corn and one part tankage
gained nearly twice as much and required
almost 20 per cent less feed per pound
of gain. Another lot fed equal parts
corn and skim milk gained practically
the same as those fed corn and tanksge.
Il In pointed ont that when hoggiug
down corn pigs need from three-tenths
to five-tenths Of Q pound Of tankage
daily - supplement to the corn. They
are able to consume larger amounts oi
corn moro efficiently and thus produce
pork at cheaper cost per pound.
