HIGH PROTEIN MIXTURES
MAKE CHEAPEST GAINS

Supplemental mixtures containing
high percentages of protein proved
superior to low protein feed mixtures
for growing and fattening pigs in
trials carried on by the Minnesota
Agricultural Experiment Station dur
ing the past year. Results were made
known at the recent annual Mime
sofa Swine Feeders Day at Univer-
sity Farm which was attended by
scores of interested farmers from
all parts Of the state.
Three lots of hogs, consisting of
10 head each, were used in these
trials and were fed for a period of
80 days. The pigs were fed in dry
lots, each group having shelled corn,
protein mixture and a mineral
mixture in separate compartments
of the self feeder. The only differ
ence in the rations fed the different
lots was in the protein mixtures.
Lot l received a mixture containing
approximately As per cent protein,
while Lot 2 received about "a per
cent and Lot 8, % per cent. 1t was
found at the rate of gain of the
pigs varied directly with the protein
percentages of the supplemental
feeds, being highest for Lot l, which
received most protein.
While the mixture highest in pro-
TEN appeared to be most palatable,
the pigs actually ate less of this food
in proportion to gains made than of
the lower protein mixtures. The feed
cost Of 100 pounds gain was lowest
in the lots fed the two mixtures of
higher protein content. Considering
the rate of gains of the pigs and the
cost of feeding, the highest protein
mixtures gave best results. The
actual feed costs for each leo pounds
of gain in the three lots were as fol-
lows: $6.77 for Lot 1, $685. for Lot
and $7.03 for Lot 3.

"Heart Disease is on the increase
and campaigns of education are un-
der way in many cities to prevent it.
Living and working in well ventilated
rooms is one of the important and
favorable practices for the care of
the heart" states the Bulletin issued
by the Minnesota State Medical As
ISOLATION today.
''In temperature of rs degrees a
marked increase in the rate of the
heart beat over which is normal is
observed. This increased heart rate
is necessary in order to produce the
greater energy needed to help cool
the body.
''The blood flow through the hand
has been measured when a man be-
comes hot and found to be five times
as fast as that of the noraml flow.
In order to keep up this abnormal
condition there is a considerable ex-
penditure of nervous energy. This
in turn affects the sympathetic ner-
vous system which keeps up the body
tone, co-ordinates the work of the
glands, blood vessels and intestinal
tract. 1t is serious thing to exhaust
the strength Of this system.
'Think of the unnecessary physi-
cal strain which school children un-
dergo who are required to remain in
overheated schoolrooms for the great
er part of the day! Some schools are
now establishing classes for chill
dren with heart trouble. Such class
es are invariably held in the open air.
While it is true that the absence of
fresh air is not the primary cause
of heart defects, it plays a most i'm
portant secondary part and is re-
ccgnized as necessary condition for
the cure of heart disease and for the
prologation of life in cases that are
not durable. Fresh, cool air is an
important healthful influence upon
the heart and circulation in childhood
and adult life"

The Izaak Walton League of Wells,
received $50 young bass to stock Rice
Lake recently. The lively young fish
were released Monday. There have
been no fish in Rice lake for some

draining its poisonous wastes into
the lake. This practice has been dis

On days of low humidity and high
winds, fires are easily started and
hard to stop. This is a season when
persons take advantage of the drouth
and slack times to burn off the ac-
emulation of weeds, rubbish and
bugs. A large number of woods fires
are caused by allowing such rubbish
fires to get beyond control and spread
into the woods.

1t is estimated that Halloween pranksters in
Minneapolis alone did 100000 damage to property.
Allowing for the love newspapers sometimes have for
making sensational story, anyone living in Mime
apolis will tell you that it a-penty In fact it
was too much. Add to this the damage done in every
city and town and rural communities in the state
and the total would be alarming. What is to be done
about it is still moot question-and should be a
question for settlement during the year just ahead
rather than for further discussion after Halloween of
1880. No would restrict good time on the part
of young people But just surely one will

much inconvenience to older people.

New Soldier Escapes
Jail On Drinking
Charge

Edward w. Crockett, a soldier
who came to town to enjoy his
weekend leave, was granted per-
sonal bond on an intoxication
charge in Police Court today after
he told Judge Robert E. Mattingly
that he had been drinking home
brew. Policeman F. r. Rahill,
of the Sixth precinct, said he saw
Crockett walking unsteadily down
Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest.
The Judge remarked that home
brew came third in his classified

The photographs, comprising an
exhaustive research Of the old
houses of worship and their stories
were collected by Francis Marion
Wigmore, who has lent them to the
library for one of the most inter-
esting and fascinating exhibits yet
presented there. The pictures are
colored in oils.
In the group of early churches,
ivy covered and some almost in
ruins, is old Pohick. where George
Washington worshiped, and old
Pope's Creek Church. where che
received those early impressions of
religion which instead of being
effaced by age seemed to grow with
his growth and strengthen with
his strength"
Swamped by Storm
There are the old church tower
at jamestown, on the site of an
earlier church where, it is said,
Pocahontas was married to John
Rolfe, the old brick church near
Smithfield and the old Donation
Church.
The settlers who built the old
Donation Church, according to
Wigmore's catalogue, were fisher
folk, who cut causeway from the
Lynnhaven River to the bay, and
winter storms came and swept the
water up to the church and through
the churchyard, carrying the bodies
and the tombs TO the bottom Of the
river.
Later, it is said swimmer in the
river deciphered the names written
on the headstones with his toes.
At old st. PauPs Church, Norfolk,
the history goes, Mr.. Smith, the min
lister, got Is thousand-weight of
tobacco for his services. and the Old
Eastern Shore Chapel in Princess
Anne county has legend of Grace
Sherwood, for it is near Witch Duck,
where the lady was dipped in the
water for witchcraft "to see her how

Old st. Georges, known as "Old
Pontroteague," was built in 1862, and
Is restored, after it reached such de-
cay that cows were seen grazing on
the grass growing in its brick-paved
aisles.
Old Yeocomico Church, which
dates from 1716, owes it's restoration

CANDIDATES
STUDIED BY
HOOVER

President Hoover is plan
ming to send a nomination for
the local Public Utilities Com
mission to the Senate this
week,
There is reason to believe, how
ever, that he has not yet made q
final choice among the various
candidates for the post, and that
the search for a suitable and
eligible citizen for the place is still
In progress.
William NICK. Clayton has been
given hacking which has impressed
the White House, but the feeling
is said to prevail among members
of the Presidents staff that he is
too strongly anti-corporation in his
tendencies to merit an appointment
for the commission, although his
abilities and experience are not
doubted.
Only one nomination is going to
the Senate at this time. The
vacancy created by the impending
retirement of John W. Childress,
chairman of the commission, will
not be filled until later, according
to the present understanding.

co BACK
To JOB

Labor troubles in the local
building trades were partly
solved today with the return
to work of the concrete rod
men who went on strike last
week.
Ominous clouds still loom in the
building industry. however, as there
are pending demands from half
dozen trade unions for increased
wages. These demands will come
up for solution within the month
and upon their settlement will de-
pend the carrying out without In
terruption of the gigantic Govern
ment building program.
Likewise, upon these settlements
will depend the cost of that build
ing program. for If increases are
granted to all of the trades the re.
suit will be to increase by millions
of dollars the cost of putting up
the long-deferred Government struc-
lures.
Get Little More
The striking rodmen went back to
work under a new wage agreement
which was entered into Saturday at
a conference of labor leaders and
representatives of the Master Build
ers Association. For five hours the
representatives debated before the
agreement was signed Saturday
night.
Both sides are pleased with the
agreement which was a conference
between the demands of union and
flat refusal previously made by
the employers.
The Master Builders Association
today issued a statement analyzing
the agreement. 1t says: ut ap-
pears from careful reading Of the
agreement signed Saturday night
that while both parties acted with
moderation and good judgment, the
builders instead of yielding supineiy
to the demand for 25 cents an hour
increase. secured a settlement on
the basis of 81 cents and that not
to take effect until August |, 1929
with further increase of the same
amount not to take effect until
February, 1880.
Helps Contractor
''The signed agreement running
for three years Gnstead of the
shorter period desired by the
workers enables the contractor to
estimate with a reasonable degree
of certainty on future work.
Another new article secured by the
builders requires six months for
consideration of any notice of dis
satisfaction and provides further for
arbitration. The old agreement
called for 80 days and had no
provision for arbitration.
"A paragraph also secured by
the builders provides that common
labor may be permitted to handle
steel, to the place or places de-
signated as asserting yards con-
venient to the building, though the
demand was that the material be
handled by the rodmen."
