Hard Names to Pronouncle &c.

The new frontier which has been
drawn up in Upper Silesa will affect
the place names OF q number Of cit
les more or less familiar to the Amer
lean public. OF the larger cities, Ratl-
Dor (Raciborz in Polish), Gleiwitz (Gli-
wice) and Beuthen (Bytom) will re-
tain their present German names. On
the Polish side the place names Of
towns which,, while they have all
along been known to the Poles by
their original Polish names, have for
the last two centuries officially borne
German names, will now revert to the
Polish forms. Thus Konigshutte again
IS Hutu Krolewska, Kattowltz again
becomes Katowice, Pless Is changed
back to Pszcyyna, Tarnowitz will
again be Tarnowskie Cory, and once
more Lublinitz will be known as Lub-
liniec. The place name Of Rybnik will
remain unchanged, the Polish and Ger
man forms being identical.

Savings of thousands and thousands
of dollars were made for housewives
of various districts in Minnesota by
state home demonstration agents dur
ing the official year closing June 80,
1921. This saving was the direct re-
suit of Women's work directed through
the university's Office of extension
work for women and farm bureaus for
and in behalf of homemakers over the
state.
The poultry project was an import
ant part Of the home demonstration
agents work during the year. Efforts
were concentrated on culling, housing,
feeding, diseases, marketing, incubat-
ing and breeding. The number Of
focks culled during demonstrations or
as result Of demonstrations, was

Fattening Young cockerels.


Young cockerels may be fattened,,
says Annabell Campbell of the Office
of extension work with women at Uni
versity Farm, by, placing them ins a
darkened room or an enclosed yard
which is large enough to permit exer-
else. # a room is used, it should be
quiet, well ventilated and semi-lighted.
A good ration for. feeding is three
parts of cornmeal, two parts of low
grade -four and one part middlings,
measured by weight and mixed as
needed with sour milk or sbuttermilk
Feed this regularly three times a day
the first three days, making sure that
the feed is all cleaned up in fifteen
minutes. On the fourth day begin
feeding four times day and continue
this practice for the rest Of the four
teen days. The birds should increase
one-third of their original weight and
when placed on the market as broil-
ers they should weigh one and one

RELATIVE VALUE OF FEEDS
FOR FATTENING PIGS
Barley Important Where Corn is Not
Regular op-Resultss Of conn.'
/ paratlve Tests Shown.

1(Preparedslby Office Il of publications,
University Farm, ST. Paul.)
The relative feeding value Of barley
and corn for fattening pigs has been
a, matter for inquiry and testing at
-Minnesota's University Farm for some
time. Barley is grown to good adj
vantage in the northern. sections Of
sthe state where corn cannot be
counted upon as a regular crop. In
many instances. it has proven a profit
able.sg grain to- feed, but as yet nossin-
diyidual or experiment station has
been able to demonstrate that barley
is fully equal to corn in a ration for
fattening, hogs
Corn has long and Justly, too, been
considered, the premier fattening
grain for hogs" says N X. 'Carnes, Of
the animal, hl1sbandry division of the
state. college: Of agriculture. Corn is
deficient in protein and ash, the grow
ing and muscle building materials,
but is rich in carbohyd and fat.
When.h is. supplemented by tankage,
"a food rich in. protein and mineral
matter, it becomes a superior feed for
,fattening hogs. Barley is a carbon
aceous feed, containing more protein
and ash than corn, but where corn is
suppl emented with tankage, the in
creased protein advantage Of the bar
ley is, overcQme. Barley contains
more fiber and is consequently less
sdigestable and palatable than corn"
The. feeding trial recently complet-
ed at University farm bears out Cap
tain Carnes' statement. Two groups
of II and II fall pigs, respectively,
were Settled free choice from May IS
to July 5. Group I was settled shelled
corn and tankage, and group II ground
barley and tankage, with the follow
