DON'T FEED CORN ALONE.
It is surprising how many folks per-
sist ,in feeding corn, cm corn and oats,
to young. pigs throughout the year,
oftentimes without salt or other min-
erals. A good many of these sante
folks feed, core, or eorn arid oath,
sometimes with salt, to the brood sows
in the wintertime. `
Now young growing pigs which
have access to the ,high Plass forages
euch as alfalfa, clover, alsike clover
and rape can do fairly well on just
corn, or corn mid oats, yet experiences
teach us that they do not .do nearly so
well as they shoula. Let us examine
the proof.
One Year we carried some breed
sows on corn. These sows gained ap-
proximately a third of a pound a day
and they farrowed litters which aver-
aged '13.2 pounds. Where meat -meal
tankage was fed in addition at the
rate of two-fifths of a pound a sow
daily the sows gained bettee than
three-fifths of a pound daily and gave
birth to litters that averaged close to
20 pounds.
The corn -alone sows produced pigs
averaging 1.7 pounds in weight,
whereas sows, that received corn and
meat -meal tankage produced pigs that
weighed 2.2 pounds.
The addition of meat -meal tankage
to the corn ration was instrumental
in causing stronger pigs. ,
Where rneafemeal tankage was used
a greater percentage of pigs were en-
abled to get into the strong class.
The corn -alone sows .had only 68
pigs out of 1(i fm fri the strong
Comparison of Red, Alsike class, whereas meat -meal tankage and
and Sweet Clovers as
Pasture Crops.'
In. each of tWO years the experiment
was conducted at the College compar-
ing the amount of pasture crop pro-
duced by sweet clover, by alsike clover
and be, common red clover. The yields
per acre were determined at each of
six cuttings in eifeh of the two years
Three weeks were allowed between
each two cuttings.. The results are
very interesting in furnishing definite
information regarding these three
crops in the production of green clover
which would correspond pretty closely
to the relative amounts of pastuee prb-
cluced. The following table gives the
average of the two years' experhnents
in tons per acre, of pasture crops:

The apple maggot; according to Mr.
C. .E. Petal, of the Dominion Entom-
ological Laboratory at Hemmingferd,
corn + feeding resulted, in „putting 93
out of the 100 in the strong class.
We tried adding, oats to the -corn
to see what it would do in helping to
balance the ration. The addition of
just oats to just corn, though helping
some, is not the best way by a long
ways. Some oats added to a corn•and-
milk ration or a corn -and -tankage ra-
tion is much more beneficial than
where they are just added to corn.
Where just corn and oats are fed
to brood sows carrying-. pigs in the
wintertime the litters aren't any
stronger or larger at birth than where
Just corn Is used.
The remedy is obvious.
In both summer and winter add
green pasture, milk products, packing
house by-products ; alfalfa hay or a
combination of these feeds,with a gee
mineral mixture. '
Of corn gr Rill as well vs two pounds
of eat, a total of 1,086 poueds of feed;
but ,even this does not ten the ,whole
story because these fifty -seven -pound
pigs N),01.11Ci need to be fed much longer
with a good ration being allowed in
order to bring them up to a market-
able finish and acceptable weight.
We took these fifty -Seven -pound pigs
and added tankage to their ration, and
finally after 249 days of feeding they
made the replied weight; instead of
teking five months to get the required
weight it took better than eight
months, Instead of taking 409 pounds
of feed for the 100 pounds of gain it
tools 459 pounds of feed: here was a
loss of forty-eight,pounds Of feed on

The -Fall Fattening.
Too often the process of fattening
consists of feeding the flock heavily
on corn for about ten days or a week
before marketing. This sudden dose
of an unaccustomed feed usually gives
turkeys the scours, or at best results
in the deposit of a thin layer of fat
around the intestine.
- The process of fattening turkeys
must be more gradualthan for other
poultry. For Thanksgiving marketing
the fattening should begin about the
middle of September.
A light feeding of grain in the
morning and evening should be gradu-
allyeincreased until tow-axd the end of
the fattening period the birds are fed,
three times a day, all the grain that
they will clean up in four or five
minutes.
At the beginning of the period equal
parts of wheat, oats and corn make a
very good ration. The proportion of
corn should be gradually increased
until it makes up the main part of the
diet during the last two weeks before
marketing. New corn should never be
given, as it almost invarialely results
in scours.
Kafir or mile are good substitutes
for corn, ten pounds of either of these!
grains being equivalent in feeding
value to nine pounds of corn.

a real pleasure to spend even a whole

who comes before us in the present
lesson. Ile is a Pharisee'a Rabbis and
a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin or
legislature. He is in earnest about the
Kingdom, but he thinks of it external-
ly and materialistically, not inwardly
and spirituelly. Like the Jews of the
time, he thinks the Kingdom will come
suddenly from the skies by an outward
miracle of God. Jesus, on the other
hand, teaches that the Kingdom comes
. inwardly by a miracle of the soul. This
is the subject of the present talk with
Nicodernus. Jesus speaks of the new
.'birth from above, by which men enter
into spiritual life.
I I. THE NEW BIRTH GIVING ENTRANCE TO
THE KINGDOM, 1-6
Vs. 1, 2. Nicodemus carnes to Jesus
by night,under cover of darkness, be-
cause he wishes to escape the notice
of men.. He is afraid to show openly
his interest in Jesus or.to come with-
out reserves. On the other hand, he
Is sufficiently in earnest to come, and
to come without further delay. He has
been impressed by Jesus' "signs. He
believes that Jesus is a divinely -sent
teachreeee,egnanie
and is willing to accord
him
V. 3. Nicodemus, though interested
in the Kingdom of God, has not ques-
tioned his own qualifications to belong
to it. He thinks that as a Jew and
as a correct Pharisee, he will certainly
see the salvation of God. But Jesus
at once declares that there is no en-
trance to the kingdom along the line
of such expectations. The kingdom of
God does not come to men by outward
happenings, but by an inward change
of the soul. Men inherit it not by
Jewish birth or by descent from Abra-
ham, but by a new personal birth of
the Spirit. A man must` lay down
pride and self-will, and enter the
Kingdom of God like a little child. He
must begin life over again by personal
surrender to God. Just as we enter
on the physical life by physical birth,
so we must enter on spiritual life by a
spiritual birth. "Solemnly I say to
you, unless a man is born from above,
he cannot seethe Kingdom of God."
II. THE REGENERATING POWER OF THE
SPIRIT, 7-11.
Vs. 7-9. This astonishes Nicodemus,
and he covers his disappointment my
asking how a man in adult life can
possibly experience a new birth. Jesus
admits the mystery, but calls attention
to the power of the Spirit of God,
which in its operation on the souls of
men is mysterious as the night wind
rustling among the trees. It is real
and present everywhere, yet none can
tell "whence it comes, and whither it
goes." Nicodemus should not forget
the unseen power of that spirit when
he speaks of what is possible or not
possible for men.
Vs. 10-12. As a teacher in Israel,
Nicodemus should have known that ree

nce. Though he has been living ley
radition, and therefore lacks direct
personal experience of th.e- power of
God, yet all around are men who can
testify to having been brought out of
piritual darkness into the light of
ife. Among these are the disciples
rid converts of Jesus, and if Nico-
emus will openly give himself to
hrist, he, too, will experience the new
irth from above. Not till he has
aken this step, and realized that re-
generation, the emergence of a ,new
ife in the soul, is Defect of experience
v. 12), will he understand the still
igher, heavenly mystery of the love
f God in the redemption of men. ,

Tin cans from the .grocer's can be
covered in like manner and used as
containers for dry groceries PI d
on shelves in the kitchen cupboard,
they are not only most convenient, but
add a cheerful note of decoration as
well.
While one is covering the cans and
flower -pot holders, it will be well to
make a good strong waste paper has;
bet to catch odds and ends of string
and wrapping paper. ,
The foundation of the" basket is

161/2 inches by 10 inches, with a ten-;
inch base: Each side is joined to the

Early apples which are intended for
near markets should be picked when
almost mellow and disposed of as soon
as possible. The best way of putting
up early apples is in 6 or 11 -quart
baskets with leno covers or in boxes
Winter apples may be left on the trees
until there is danger of injurious
feost. In large orchards it is necessary
to begin picking in good season, tak-
ing the different varieties in succes-
sion, beginning with the early winter
sorts and varieties that drop easily.
An apple before being picked should
have its seeds almost mature and have
taken on most of its color. Alwaye
reneembm that.. apples are easily
bruised and that bruises lead to early
rotting. Apples Should not be picked
and piled in the orchard, as they aro
labie to, heat in the piles and ripen

Yellow oilcloth cut 41 inches long by

13-17:
Vs. 13-15. On this subject. Jesus
alone has a right to speak. He, as the
Son of man, that is, the heavenly
Messiah, has come down irom heaven
to show to men the love of God. In
order that men may see that love, he
must be "lifted" on the cross. Fece
to face with the cross men will see
at last how unutterably great is God's
yearning to bring men to eternal life.
Vs. 16, 17. Fax that cross shows the
love of God. God loved the world so ,
much that he gave up his only Son
that every one w <2:believes in him
may have eternal life (the life of thel
Kingdom). The Jews believed that'
the Messiah, when he came, would be
an executer of justice. They did not I
dream that he would be a sacrifice of I

Right Weight for Marketing
Hogs.
Mr, A. A. 1VIcIVIillan, Chief of the
Sheep and Swine Division of the Do-
minion Live Stock Branch, has this ta
say regarding the right weight fax
marketing hogs: Farmers who aim ta
market a high percentage of hogs of
the select bacon grade, after first hav-
ing made sure that their breeding
stock th of the right type and con-
formation, should feed in accordance
with recognized and approved meth-
ods, and elm to market each litter at
an average weight of , two hundred
pounds. There might, of course, be
times when a falling market would
warrant selling at slightly , lighter
weights, whereas . a rising market
might be an inducement to feed some-
what longer. Any great deviation
from the two hundred pound average
will undoubtedly result in the sale of
under -finished hogs if early marketing
is practiced; whereas, if it is exceeded
to any great extent a percentage of
heavy hogs will result.
In another part of his "Handbook
on Hog Grading," from which the
foregoing extract is taken, Mr. Mac-
Millan, dealing with heavy and extra
heavy grades, remarks that when
closer attention is paid to finishing at
the 200 -pound average, very few hogg
will be marketed at over weight, and
the extra heavy grade, with few ex-
ceptions, will include only those held
for breeding purposes which have
proved sterile.
Feed Sour Milk.
While the turkeys are ranging and
there is 9:plentiful supply of insects -
and of weed se-eds. the birds will re-
quire very little extra feeding. If any
special feed is to be recommended, it
is sour milk.
A trough of sour milk, kept where
the birds will have access to it, will da
much toward keeping them in a
eseateeme Care must be taken
that the sour -milk supply is kepi
fresh, Milk that is allowed to stand
for days at a time in unsanitary
troughs will do more harm than good,
If the natural food supply is cut
dowe on account of drought, a light
feeding of grain both morning and
evening may be necessary. Or if the
flock rangee too far, a regular feed at
night will get the birds into the habit
of returning to the herne roost every
night, and is a very effective curb to
the turkey's natural wendeel LIZ ,
