At the Nova Scotia Agricultural

gains were made by feeding a lot of
pig ration composed of 148 lbs. of
grain, 900 lbs. of skim mills, and 110
lbs. of mangels. At the Ontario Ag-
ricultural College the best results
were obtained where the proportion
of milk to meal was 2.5 to 1. In one
trial in which this proportion was
used, 365 lbs. of skim milk were
equal to 100 lbs. of meal. This

The curiously mixed characteristics
of that amazing novelty of warfare,

Frenchmen and Englishmen recognize
their unique blending of the comic

are cheered and lsughed at by the
'Commies with equal heartiness, and
even their crews, who take the great-
est pride in them, name them always
in a spirit of burlesque; while the
English correspondents compare them
to "ridiculous and gigantic armadil-

in mud holes," and "overgrown steel
