BIG VALUE OF SELF-FEEDER
Experiments Show Pigs Make More Gain Than When Handled by
 Man and Eat Less, Too.

Expenses may be made less by the use of the self-feeding plan in prefer ence to the hand-feeding system in the hog lot. An experiment was con ducted at the Kansas State Agricultur- al college to show the value of the self feeder in fattening 75-pound pigs, and at the same time to show the amount of tankage required to balance a corn ration. This experiment was carried on by pr. C. w. McCampbell. F. F. Perrin. and Fl. B. Winchester. in swine feeding investigations in 1918 and 1919.
 Twenty pigs of the same age. quail ty, condition. and weight. were put into two dry lots In groups of ten. The pigs in lot l ate from self feed or, that was divided in two compart- ments, one having shelled corn and the other tankage. The pigs in lot were given all they could eat twice a day of mixture of ten parts shelled corn and one part tankage. They were watered twice day in both lots and the experiment was carried on for one hundred days. Three days at the beginning and end of the test the pigs were weighed and all weights and ex- penses were carefully recorded.
 The pigs in lot one ate more corn and less tankage than the hand-fed pigs in lot 2. That , per cent tank age could balance a corn ration in fat tening 15-pound pigs was shown from this experiment., because the self-fed pigs consumed one part tankage and 20 parts corn.
 1OO-pound gain in handled pigs &aS produced by 6.S bushels of corn and 3S pounds of tankage, and the same gain was produced in the self fed lot by 5.S bushels of corn and l1.66 pounds of tankage. that Is to say that the corn with tankage pro duced 14.7 pounds of pork in the hand fed lor and 11 pounds Of pork in the self-fed lot.
 The self-fed pig gets more exercise than the hand-fed in the many trips he makes to the feeder and in this way probably will get more good from

 Manager We'll Paid.
 When the fact Is taken into consid- eratiOn that the managers employed under this system are provided with houses in which to live and are given the privilege of raising their home sup plies of vegetables milk. poultry and eggs. it will be seen that their neces- sary expenses are inconsiderable, and it must be conceded that they are well paid for their services. in view of the fact that they have no investment risk. The length of time which the men re- main on the farms shows that this method of employment must have been satisfactory both to employee and landlord in these cases. It should be pointed out, however that the tenant should have absolute confidence in his landlord before he would be justified in working under this system.

 At the end of this test the pigs in lot l made profit of S7.35 per head more than the hand-fed and they re- quired less feed, and less labor to make the 100-pound gain.

INDUCE SWINE TO EXERCISE
Keep Sleeping Quarters for Sows Some Distance From Feeding
 Place Is Good Plan.

A satisfactory means of inducing exercise on hog farms consists of keeping the sleeping quarters for the sows some distance from their feed ing place so that the sows must travel this distance several times daily. How ever, If this cannot be done, sows will secure plenty of exercise eating hay from low rack built for the pur- pose.

How Net Income Is Determined.

The managers are given regular monthly wage and bonus consisting of one third Of the net farm income In determining the net income per cent interest on the valuation of the property Is first taken out as due re turn for capital. alter which all ex penses are deducted, such as for thrashing the managers wage, extra labor. machinery repairs, depreciation, and the cost of fertilizers and seeds.
 Each of the two managed farms has a house for the manager, who also can use the work horses to drive for per sonal use. has garden, and a COW or two for supplying the family with milk and butter. Fifty chickens are fur nished, and the family is permitted to raise as many as possible to supply the needs of the farm table, but on Decem- Der aH the chickens above the origi- nal number must be sold and the land lord gets one half the receipts. The purpose of this limit on chickens is to enable the manager to have his own poultry supply without taking undue advantage of his opportunity.
 In order to calculate the amount of money which the manager is to re- ceive on this plan 1t is necessary to do a certain amount of bookkeeping. This is left to the owner, who keeps q set of farm accounts, and on March l complete inventory is taken and q yearly summary of the farm business Is completed. In cases of disease. poor crops, or partial failure which lis un- avoidable, thus cutting down the in- come of the manager, the owner makes some allowance and gives the mana ger, in addition to the wages he has received. what he thinks is due him for the work he has done, and the re- sponsibi.ity he has assumed.
 In the period before war imitation the managers made from S41 to $49 per month the year round. in addition to having their rent, garden, milk. but ter and eggs. The manager of the smaller farm. comprising 96 acres, re- ceived $35 a month straight wages for four years up to 1918. and his bonus averaged $l8S . year.

Tested by Fifteen Years Trial.

The man who made the statement quoted above was for number of years the manager of one of two ordi- nary-sized hog farms owned by man in Illinois, and the plan under which he was engaged as farm manager has been followed hy the owner with al- most unfaillng success for more than fifteen years. Briefly. the plan was nothing more or less than a Stra ght annual salary which included tenant house and the usual garden and poul- try perquisiteS, and. aS bonus. a share of the net profits.
 The prvfit-sharing plan has served to stimulate the efforts of the employee and has greatly lesSened the supervi sion necessary on the part of the owner. By the use of the telephone and occasional visits he is able to keep in touch with the farm problems and to cooperate effectively with the man. ager. Since the owner was farming himself it was important that the man. agement of his other two farms take as little of his time as possible. Thus far the managers have been selected from the men employed on the home farm, which serves as training school

sTOTTENVILLE, July 5.-Inde-
pendence Day was generally celebrat-
ed Throughout Staten Island yester-
day. From early morning until late
at night crowds were making their
way back and forth on the ferries.
1t is estimated that more than a
hundred thousand people visited at
1.-The beaches on the island during the
day. In spite of the fact that the
sale of fireworks were prohibited the
small boy had almost as noisy a
fourth as in other years.
All day yesterday and Saturday
numbers of them were seen coming
from New Jersey with their arms full
of fireworks and all way yesterday
the sound of the firecracker vas
heard and last night in many sec
tons a display of fireworks was seen.
There. were no accidents reported
here from the celebration other than
!. a slight fire on the roof of a build
ing owned by Nathan J.. Lowe, of 1853
johnson avenue at 5295 Arthur Kill
road, shortly before II o'clock last
night.
An alarm was turned in and the
iremen of ISL engine and 76 hook
and ladder were soon on the scene.
The blaze was 500 e~xtinguiShed
without any damage to h house.
The blaze is believed to have started
from fireworks.
The celebrations held in various
parts of the island under the direc-
ton of borough President. Van

ton was held at Curtis field. New
