WATCH THE NEWSPAPERS FOR FURTHER DETAILS At nine of the principal live stock markets during a six-months' period In 1022 there were received a tolal -of 2S.375 dead hogs and 38,708 In a more or less crippled condition.

Very recent reports from the yards at Denver show that the losses there during the past two weeks have been extremely heavy, five or six dead hogs in a car being nothing uncommon, and in one instance thirteen dead hogs were found in car-load. In eliminating the losses the first thing, of course, is to get at the cause. The minimum load for a freight car is 17,000 pounds. In the case above where there were thirteen dead bogs in the load, at the point of origin this load weighed 2:1.000 which is 4,000 pounds in excess of the maximum allowed by the insurance companies. The insurance company, of course, refused to meet the loss because the car was loaded in excess of their specified maximum.

In most of the cars coming into the Denver yards with dead hogs the cars were overloaded, so that overloading is without a doubt one of the principal causes of loss in shipping. There are other factors which cause losses in shipping during hot weather. Over-feeding at time of loading Is without question Important, A hog with an empty stomach has a much better chance of reaching the market In good condition than one that has had a full feed just before being loaded. Hogs which are over tilled are very apt to become overheated and get sick. If rite weather is warm, it Is better to feed Utile less at the last regular feeding period before loading.

The shipper should see that the car Is well cleaned out, especially if it has manure in it a manure is very liable to be a cause of a great deal of beat In the cur. After the car is well cleaned, It should be bedded down with two or three Indies of sand or West Pemmi Systtemm Serving the public with electric light, power and railway transportation in tVfm Piinntvi'Bni'a Groft of Trafford and Clyde Sloan of near Irwin attended the Lig-onier Valley Fair on Friday.

VALLEY FJIK DECIIIEU SUCCESS Hover had si slight 'edge over alfalfa in the beef feeding trials which Imve just been completed nt the Wisconsin College of Agriculture. In the sleer-feeding trials, two lots of ten steers each, weighing practically lie same, made an average gain of 37S.1 pounds in the ease of the clover fed steers and an average gain of 377.0 pounds when fed alfalfa during the trial period of 100 days. The average daily gain was the same for the two lots, pounds per animal. The average ration used in the experiment consisted of 10 pounds of corn, 27 pounds nf corn silage, fi.3 pounds of clover hay in one case and fi.3 pounds of alfalfa hay for the other lot, and 1.4 pounds of cottonseed meal for the animals as compared to .8 pound for the alfalfa fed steers.

For each 100 pounds gain, the el over-fed steers got 51O.0 pounds of corn, 72.1 pounds of cottonseed meal. -74 pounds of clover hay, and 1,3011.7 pounds of corn silage. Their competitors made like gains on .120.7 pounds of corn. 41.2 pounds of cottonseed meal. pounds of alfalfa hay, and 1,401.

(IS pounds of corn silage. The former ration cost and the latter 20 cents more, pork profits from hogs following the steers not deducted. The net profit per steer in the clover-fed group, not including pork profit, was When the pork profit was added this group returned a net profit, over cost of feed of per steer. The alfalfa-fed animals made a profit without the pork profits of JnI.1.42. With the pork profits added they averaged $21 net return per steer over cost of feed.

In announcing the result of the baby beef-feeding trials, .7. (i. Fuller of the animal husbandry department, under whose direction the experiments were carried on, said: "Perhaps we hud belter not get too enthusiastic about baby beef iroduction, but consider seriously all or the costs In tlie baby beef-feeding trials two lots of live animals each, weighing RTn.f per animal in each lot. were pitted against each other for 1(1S days to see whether better gains could he made on cottonseed meal than on linseed oilmeal.

bogs Were carried on a 120-day feeding test by ihe I'niverslty of Nebraska to determine if tankage is necessary whet; good alfalfa pasture is available. The pigs, weighing around 07 pounds aiiiece. were placed in separate lots. Two ivs were seeded to alfalfa and the Ihfd was dry. The highest daily gain per head was made in the alfalfa lot that received shelled corn and tankage.

The gain In that lot was 1.4 pounds as compared with .01 pounds in the alfalfa lot receiving no and 1.2." pounds in Ihe drv lot where corn and tankage were fed. The feed cost per 100 pounds of gain ran highest fir the pigs on alfalfa that received no tankage and lowest on the alfalfa lot fed tankage. The three lots ranked as follows: Alfalfa, shelled corn ami tankage. S.1.11: dry lot. corn and tankage.

alfalfa anil shelled corn. S0.SC. Trices at that time on corn were 7.1 cents a bushel; tankage. $07 a ton, and pas-lure, one-half cent day. The bigs in the 1oT which received no tankage practically destroyed the alfalfa by rooting, bile those tankage and alfalfa did not root at all.

It was found that tankage greatly inereised the rate of gain, reduced the cos; of "lltll pounds gain and snvod ti.e pasture. Y. V. C. Meeting.
