HOGS ON PASTURE
MAKE CHEAP GAINS

The economy of pasturing pigs
three forage crop demonstrations
conducted in fourteen counties of
Pennsylvania last year by the ami
NAL husbandry extension service of
the State College. a summary of
these demonstrations shows that it
required ATS pounds Of grain to
produce 100 pounds of pork when
pigs were fed in the dry lot, while
312 pounds of grain produced the
same mount of gain when pigs
were on pasture. The saving in
grain bill was 34.3 per cent. There
is another phase to be considered:
Health, vigor and rapidity of
growth are valued by experienced
swine raisers as much as the saw
ings in feed cost. They mean an
efficient herd and one in which
disease is not liable to gain q foot
hold.
Over 1000 pigs were used in
these demonstrations. which ran
ia days. The quality of the ami
mails was that of average feeder
hogs found in Pennsylvania farms.
At the beginning of the period
they averaged forty-five pounds.
The average final weight was 1874
pounds, making a daily gain of .79
pounds. Cost Of producing the
forage crops was computed from
man and horse labor, rent of land.
seed. fertilizer and fences. This
amounted to s2.43 for each 100
pounds gain in the herds. Labor
in feeding and interest on invest
ment came to 81 cents per 100
pounds gain Grain cost Is the de-
termining factor. amounting to
over rs per cent of the total cost
OF production. Thus a saving in
the amount of grain used goes a
long way toward the efficiency of
producing pork. Under present
conditions it often means the diff
ference between profit or loss on
the years work for the swine
grower. Nothing makes a better
hog pasture than alfalfa or clover.
Rape is good and may be sown
early enough to make pasture for
spring pigs as soon as they are
ready for it. A succession of va
rious crops planned to take care
of the herd all summer is the only
way to obtain all the advantages
OF this method Of feeding swine.

SCHOOL MAY HAVE TO
CLOSE FOR LACK OF FUNDS

The Centralized schools of Lafay-
ette township may be forced to close
for lack of funds thus throwing about
200 school children onto other schools
of the county unless the voters of that
township favor the additional levy of
one mill taxation on their property
over the six mill taxation of the past
two years, thus providing funds for
the last half of the school year.
The tuition fund for this township
calls for $3.50 and the contingent
fund for 1900 making a total Of
$14,S50 needed to run the Lafayette
schools another year. The people Of
the township will b asked to vote on
this issue at the primaries and if it
does not carry the school will be kept
running lust as long as there are
funds, which is estimated as four
months. There has been a big raise in
all expenses, including teachers sal
aries which in some cases have been
increasd fifty per cent.

CONCERT SUNDAY
GREAT SUCCESS

Nearly 1000 people listened to the
second concert given by the Commun-
ity Orchestra with John Beck direc-
tor. Mrs. P. C. Bigelow was the SOLO
ist and her work was done in her
usual masterful way. Her first num-
ber "Christ in Flanders" is one Of
the finest solos written in recent years
and the audience greeted her with a
round Of applause at the close and it
was only that no encores are given
that the audience ceased to demand
one.
The concert solo work by Rollin
Hartman was exceedingly well done
especially in the numbers "Love's
Sunlight" and in the patriotic melo-
dies. Mrs. Bigelow sang the verses
Of Battle Hymn of the Republic and
the crowd at the request Of Director
Beck Joined in heartily in the chorus.
Her closing selection was the "Star
Spangled Banner"
The orchestra played well and the
selections were varied to suit all low
ers of music.
The collection amounted to nearly
$50 and it is now hoped to have the
concerts every two weeks, the next
one being July 18 which will begin at
3 o'clock and will be given for the
special benefit of the farmers who
cannot get here at the late hour Of
4:30. The soloist will be Fred Boh-
ley and it is hoped to have the boy
cornetist from Olmsted Falls, Cor
don Sherwood, who has played here a
number Of times.
The audience appreciated, as did
which was erected by P. c. Bigelow
the orchestra, the temporary stand
and his trio Of helpers, Messrs. Smolk,
White and Gift. Also the chairman
expresses thanks to the Scouts and
Everett Randall and others who
helped to do the work necessary for
the preparation Of the concert.
