SOY BEAN OIL MEAL
FAVORED FOR HOGS

With the enormous increase in acre
age of soy beans planted each year Is
certain TO come demand for informa-
ton on the value Of soy-bean cilmeal
for growing and fattening pigs. AL
ready the beans are finding their way
to oil-expressing plants. When the oil
is removed, the residue, soy-bean oil
meal, remains.
In anticipation of the demand for
information the Iowa experiment sta
ton recently closed series of tests
with this new feed. Previous expert
ments have shown that soy-bean oil
meal is lacking in mineral matter. 1t
runs about 43 per cent protein and
ranks with linseed oilmeal or cotton
seed meal as a balancer. The de-
ficiency of minerals was supplied by
mixture composed of common salt, ~
pounds: spent boneblack, 40 pounds;
or ground bonemeal, steamed bone
meal. rock phosphate or acid phos-
phate; and finely ground, high-calcium
limestone, 40 pounds; or air-slaked
lime, wood ashes or foreground clam
or oyster shell. One-half ounce of
potassium iodide was added to each
100 pounds Of the mixture, which was
kept before the gigs at all times in
self-feeder.
There were six lots of ten pigs each,
averaging about 20 pounds at the start,
that we are interested in. One lot

age and minerals, all settled on rape
pasture. A second lot was fed shelled
corn, soy-bean oiImeal and minerals on
rape pasture while the third lot, also
on rape pasture, received shelled corn,
minerals and a protein mixture COM
posed Of tankage, % per cent, and,
soy-bean oilmeal, 75- per cent. Three
other lots were fed the same as the
three preceding ones but were kept in
dry lots.
The best gains on rape were made
by the lot settled shelled corn, soy
bean oilmeal and meat-meal tankage.
1t also showed lower feed require
ment for 100 pounds gain.
In the dry lot groups the best gain
was made on a ration of shelled corn
and tankage and the pigs required less
feed for 100 pounds of gain.
From the results of this experiment
1t appears that soy-bean oilmeal may
have economic advantage when used
to replace a part or all Of the meat
meal tankage,' says John NJ Evvard,
the man in charge of the work, srela-

whether the LaFollette group would
favor Dawes or Bryan-ma y.ryr
own guess.
Having gone so far for the sake
of argument, let us keep on and as
sumo that both chambers have re-
manned in deadlock from February II
to March A and have failed to elect
either President or vice president.
There is therefore no President to
swear In as successor to President
Coolidge when his term expires. There
is 30 vice president to be sworn in
and automatically become President.
The new house is seated that day.
Thirty senatorial seats are filled.
But with no President and no vice
president to inaugurate what happens?
Is the United States for the first
time since April 80, 1859, without a
President?
Or does Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes automatically become
President Hughes?
The Constitution provides that "the
congress may, by law, provide for the
case Of removal, death, resignation,
or inability both of the President and
vice president, declaring what officer
shall then act as President, and such
officer shall act accordingly until the
disability be removed or President
shall be elected"
The Presidential succession act, ap-
proved January 10, 1886, provides that
the succession shall pass to the mem
bers of the cabinet in the following
order: Secretaries of State, Treas
ury and War, Attorney General, Post
master General, Secretary of the
Navy.
In the event of Secretary Hughes
becoming President, would he serve
the full term of four years? Or has
congress the power to order special
Presidential election? And-in case
either chamber were Republican. by
decisive majority-would congress
order such an election?
This is puzzle story, not a politi-
cal screed, but
Would it not be interesting II
Charles E. Hughes, who resigned from
the Supreme court only to be defeated
for President in 1916, should thus
achieve his ambition?
Would not the well-known irony of
fate be aptly illustrated il Charles w.
Bryan should thus attain to the place
three times refused his more illustri-
GUS brother, William Jennings Bryan?

Lightning Safe Fences

If fence posts are of wood or cement,
to safeguard stock from lightning,
either put in steel fence post every
few rods or staple heavy fence wire
the entire length of post in contact
with the fence wires so as to ground
them Then, if lightning strikes the
fence, or a tree near the fence, the
death-dealing bolt will not follow far
along the fence and kill stock that
may have pushed against it in STORM.
Of course, if the posts are of steel
they ground the wires perfectly. Wire
fences fastened to buildings should be
grounded at the last post or two and
at buildings.
