This is a practical question, _ It has become especially ,interesting, due to the re- sults obtained in inYestigations along a number of lines of nutritional work. Owners of hogs frequently find pigs , developing swollen forints, growing ng stiff and becoming crippled, and brood' he cows breaking down after farrowing, Be!) s espeeialty4n the winter season. The e question has been frequently raised y as to Whether or not these conditions are due to a lack of roughage: Careful Work has been done at ex- periment stations to determine the causes of these troubles.

The results from feeding these ani- mals the above rations for a year are interesting. The cheek animals de- veloped stiffness and swellings in the joints and showed difficulty in getting on their feed et the end of six to eight; months, The second lot, which, re- ceived 'paper, also developed this same condition which would . seem to show a that the roughage factor was not the cause, The lot receiving charcoal diad not show this condition and those re- ceiving dirt in their ration manifested' the trouble to only a slight extent. After these troubles had developed, the animals were given a daily dose of codliver oil. Immediately they showed improvement, The department reports than in rare instance a pig which had weighed 250 pounds and; was losing in weight, immediately upon, the administering of the codliver oil begs'tn to grow at a normal rate while the stiffness and swollen joints soon disappeared. Another evidence that roughage is not necessary in the ration for swine is furnished by a lot of hogs -fed skim- milk for a year with no roughage added. Though the animals in this lot did not develop at a normal rate, 'Which probably was due to the lack of fat- soluble atsoluble vitamines in the skim -milk, no trouble from stiffness was exper- ienced. From this work it would seem, therefore, that where all the necessary nutriente and vitamins are present in the ration, roughage is not. necessary in obtaining , normal de- velopment in swine. However, these constituents may be more economical- ly secured for the animals through the use of green feeds during the summer season, but in winter other sources must be found. M Long Stolons. Often in harvesting the potato crop one discovers that the tubers are growing some distance from the plant stems. Hot weather has a tendency to cause the stolons, the underground stems on which the tubers are pro. &need, to elongate. Sandy land will produce longer stolons than -will -heav- ier soil. Long stolons are also an in- dication that the variety of potatoes is running out.

Potatoes, cabbages, turnips, carrots, salsify, celery, and even apples may be kept safely in outdoor pits properly protected, if there is no suitable cellar, and even when the home cellar is inadequate to care for the large crap. Indeed, good pits are more suitable in most cases than cellars. First remember that apples, pots. - toes and celery all require a cool place and will stand' a light freeze or frost without injury, but if frozen hard will be spoiled. Keep them as near the freezing point es possible, not to actually freeze them. On the other hand, all root crops and cabbage may be frozen hard without injury, provided they thaw out while in con- tact with the earth. The same is true of onions. This arpplies to:- the first freeze; if •ailewed to freeze and thaw repeatedly for a number of times, even root crops will be spoiled.
