"VVe gave one lot of hogs Jhelled corn meat-meal tankage. ... wheaL ' middl. ings and rock salt In self feeders," says Professor Evard, of the Iowa Agricul tural college. Another lot in the same pen was. offered exactly the same feed, plus all the buttermilk they wanted; Each buttermilk hog drank -32 pounds of buttermilk a day, Xm tesa than half as much of the $2 corn, only a third as much of the 90 tankage, and two' thirds'as much of the $55 middlings and actually reached a weight of 296rpound3 soma 62 days before the hog without tne outtermllk did." - , Dr. E. V. McCullom o the Johns Hop kins University says: "We know of no way to examlreafood In the chemical laboratory to tell anything at all about its nutritive value. The only way to get this kind of information is to test our foodstuffs by carefully conducting feeding trails and let the animal; answer our Inquiry. Such feeding trials, to be lf permanent' value, must be con ducted in a fairly elaborate series and with a full appreciation of . the fact that the value of one constituent of the diet, portein . for, example, can be de termined only when it la known by complete experimental .evidence that all the other-factors In thejfood mix tures are satisfactory. The feeder who imagines there is wisdom in buying tankage for protein and allows his animal td waste it by not being able, to aMimllate-itria f not in the big-profit class today. With the present price of corn it would seem ex travagant to feed hogs whole grain. It would be much better business to feed hog$ on by-products of cereal and dairy manufacture after the human food has been largrely utilized. In the summer time the hog can forage largely for himself and the feed which is given him ; should be carefully mixed in the proper proportions by men who have made a' life study of that work, Do notjchang the hog's diet sudden ly. "When - you procure your concen trated mixture, mix it with your, corn or silage or other bulk feeds if you have been feeding that way. It is best usually to add ' about three "pals of concentrates to two parts of ensilage Mix well with water and-reduce to thin slop. If fed dry in a hopper,- mix about the same proportions; : keep th hoppers filled at all times and furnish plenty of clean drinking water. That .this can be done economically! is proven by an - experiment of - th Michigan Dairy, .Produce company, Ed-more, -'Mich.. The first ; lot of six pigs weighed 420 pounds, were fed 18 days, consumingr 225 pounds of a commercial hog: feed and approximately $4 worth of buttermilk. They were weighedat the end of the eighteenth day and they . welghedfi0O rpounds'making a gain of 180 pounds at a cost, based qn the're-tail price of the concentrated feed, of . 111.80 the costof producing the pork and not. including labor.' They estimated that .the labor "would amount to $2.18 so they claim, that the total cost of raising this lot was $8 per hundredweight for the gain. '.'' I Young . pigs should gain a pound or more a, day. If you are not getting this increase you had better took to your feed. No pig can prosper , on a single grain. - - ' PICKING FOWL : PROPERLY California fruit growers can successfully sell their products in eastern mar- 7 ket In competition with reaatern fruit ' because they pick, grade and pack carefully and in accordance with uptodate methods, thereby overcoming the handl- cap of the - 3000 mile haul to market What is applicable to the production and marketing of fruit applies with equal force to the selling of market Fowl which are properly fat Dried sweet corn is a delicious food fully equal, if not superior, to canned poultry corn, and capable of use for practically tened, killed, cooled, dressed, and offered as wide a variety of purposes Any o-"on the market In -the best of condition. the varieties of sweet corn having command a premium price, while other qualities desirable for table use will make a good dried product.

The Admiralty yards at Chatham, Dev- onport, and Portsmouth will not stop, as they are entirely occupied with, the re fitting of 2700 steamers which are to be returned to the owners, from Whom they were requisitioned lor war service. Among the warships being bout at pri vate yards are cruisers, destroyers and submarines and the work on some of these may be continued, according "to the Mall, lf it Is found cheaper, to com plete them than to break them up. TherMail quotes an officer of the Ad miralty as saying that one sound reason for stopping work on warships &vthat the step -win. clear the yards .for com mercial building. There Is an excellent demand for new tonnage and this work will probablyi absorb the men liberated by the stoppage of work on naval vessels.

It has yielded an average of nearly ten bushels per acre more than common rye throughout Michigan the past few years. Dast year the county agent of Indiana 4-ounty, Penna., had a number of farmers try Rosen Rye in comparison with common rye.
