Years ago among some of the ear liest feeding experiments conducted with pigs -was a comparison of the relative merits of cooked and un cooked food. Various agricultural col leges and experiment stations made studies in this field, and the results were that very generally it was clear ly shown that hogs gained faster and more economically on the uncooked food than on the cooked. Not only was this demonstrated as a practical proposition, but from a scientific point of view It was shown that the digesti bility of the food was lowered by cooking, the proteids especially being affected. There is no doubt but that the work of the American investi gators in this field very generally put an end to cooking feed in this coun try. The writer well remembers vis iting a very large hog-feedlng plant in Indiana some fifteen years ago. with the request to suggest any im provements in methods, and found an extensive plant for cooking feed in full operation, involving more labor than one might suppose. The result of my visit was the abolishment of that method of feeding hogs, and a considerable saving of expense. Only very rarely does one now find food being cooked. In winter a warm slop is desirable, but that is quite a differ ent proposition from cooking the feed in big kettles or tanks. Our British cousins are great stock men, and one must give them due respect for the high plane to which they have elevated the livestock in dustry. However, they are very con servative, and change very reluctant ly from the old to the new. Probably this conservatism is responsible for the magnificent breeding so generally practiced in the British Isles. Yet they are still feeding cooked food, and are slow to believe that the un cooked can have even the virtue of the cooked. In order to secure some British light on this now old subject, a series of feeding experiments was conducted at the Agricultural Experi ment station at Clonakilty, Ireland, "to ascertain if pigs could be success fully fattened with meal fed raw.” In view of the fact that most of the pigs fattened in Ireland are given cooked feed, this experiment was to furnish information as to whether the policy was sound or not. Four experiments were conducted. Both lots of pigs re ceived an equal quantity of the same foods, and were treated in the same manner, except that the meal was given raw to one, and cooked into SILO IS AID OF MODERN DAIRYMAN Improved Machinery and Huge Food Tanks Do Away With ' Much Manual Labor. (By N. S. FRENCH. California.) Not so very long ago it seemed ra ther important that “the man behind the cow” should be an athlete, at least able to do not only one hard day’s work, but many of them. Sixty or seventy years ago, when our cities and railroads were young, as was also the dairy business, the principal surplus age of dairy products came from the northern and New England states, and eastern provinces of Canada where the greater part of the summer had to be spent in raising, harvesting and storing up feed for the long, cold win ter; and the man who could swing a scythe from 4 to 11 a. m. and wield a fork from 1 to 9 p. m., or till the last load was safe in the barn, was gen erally considered to be about the right sort of a man to make a success of a dairy farm. Feed must still be stored up for the winter and times of short pasture, but the many machines now to be had to facilitate this work, have reduced the actual labor part of this work almost beyond computation. Young men may hardly realize it, but there ,are a few yet alive who can remember what it was to lead a gang of mowers in heavy clover and herd-grass; it was not called timothy then. It may not require any higher degree of brain power to run these new machines than it did to rightly sharpen and hang a scythe, for this could not be well done by anyone who was either men tally or physically weak. Now the mowing machine, tedder and rake are all equipped with easy spring seats, while the power loader and horse-fork do the rest; and weather permitting, the hay crop is easily secured on time and in’good order. Then, if the dairy man has a silo, he can command suc culent cow feed as good or better than green grass for every day of the year, and he needs it. porridge with steam for the other; the portion of meal being weighed be fore cooking. The meal fed raw was merely dampened with cold water and mixed with the separated milk at the time of feeding. The meal consisted of Indian corn and barley, principally the former, both being. coarsely ground. The pigs at the start were from eleven to fourteen weeks old. Before starting each experiment, the pigs were fed alternately with raw and cooked meal in order to start each lot on an equal basis. Green al falfa was fed the pigs in experiment No. 1, and boiled potatoes or boiled carrots in experiment No. 4. All the pigs were also fed some skimmed milk. The following figures give the more interesting facts regarding these ex periments: Experiment Kind Av. daily Dry matter of gain. to produce food. 1 lb. live wt. 1 Cooked 1.38 lbs. 2.29 lbs. 1 Raw 1.41 lbs. 2.94 lbs. 2 Cooked 1.00 lbs. 3.56 lbs. 2 Raw 1.13 lbs. 3.08 lbs. 3 Cooked 1.12 lbs. 3.82 lbs. 3 Raw 1.31 lbs. 3.27 lbs. 4 Cooked 1.44 lbs. 2.84 lbs. 4 Raw 1.52 lbs. 2.63 lbs. Average Cooked 1.20 lbs. 3.23 lbs. Average Raw 1.32 lbs. 2.96 lbs. There were seventeen pigs fed cooked food, and seventeen uncooked, and the results are absolutely in keep ing -with those generally secured by American investigators. However, it is worth quoting the summary of the results, as given by Mr. James Adams, who conducted the experiment: 1. Pigs can be fattened successful ly with raw meal. 2. The average daily gain in live weight was greater when meal was raw than when cooked into porridge. 3. When meal was fed raw, less food was required to put on one pound increase in live weight. 4. The proportion of dead to live weight was higher in the case of the pigs fed with raw meal, that is to say, they killed better. 5. Raw meal can be fed to pigs after weaning, say at eleven to twelve weeks old. 6. On raw meal pigs clean up their food well, look clean and healthy, and handle firm. 7. Pigs fed on raw meal require Jess litter and cleaning than those fed with cooked meal. This Irish series of experiments, if properly regarded by the people of Ireland, will turn many feeders into the right path, and enable them to feed with far more profit than by the old method. DIPPING SHEEP TO ERADICATE PESTS Promotes Health of Skin and Al so Furthers Growth of Wool of Animal. (By FRANK KLEINHEINZ, Wisconsin College of Agriculture.) In order to kill ticks and lice and thus promote the health of the skin, and also further the growth of wool, di psheep every spring. Dipping is too often neglected by flock owners, with the result that the sheep are an noyed day and night and are kept busy rubbing against every post and corner, with consequent loss of flesh. A warm, sunshiny day, at least ten days after the sheep have been sheared, should be selected for this work. It should preferably be done in the morning, so as to give the sheep a chance to dry out before night. Any one of the many coal tar dips may be used if the directions accompanying them are carefully fol lowed. There are several forms of vats but the majority of flock masters use one made of galvanized iron. The size of the vat necessarily depends upon the size of the flock. A draining pen should be so arranged that all the dip which runs off the sheep while they are dripping is returned into the vat. It is not necessary for the head to get into the dip, since the sheep can keep it free of ticks or lice by rub bing or scratching. Furthermore, it is best if no dip gets into the mouth, eyes or ears. However, all other parts of the body up to the head should be kept in the dip not less than one minute. The dip will be most effective if the solution is luke warm, and the sheep will then not be chilled while in It. Daffodils Valuable. An acre of wheat or potatoes in England is worth from S7O to SIOO. but an acre of choice daffodils or nar cissus may worth anywhere from $250 to $2,000.

Was confined to my bed, and couldn’t raise my head or hand. In fact, I had lost all hope of ever getting well. I began taking Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I can now work in the gar den, run a sewing machine, have gain ed 15 pounds, and am as happy as can be. You may publish this letter if you wish. I wish all ladies suffering from womanly trouble would give Cardui a trial, as I am sure it would help them ” Cardui is a pure vegetable extract, that has no severe medicinal action, but acts mildly and gently, as a medi cine should act, and therefore can have no bad after effects. You can rely on Cardui to help you, just as it has helped so many thou sands of other women in the past half-century. It goes to the seat of the trouble and builds up womanly strength where it is most needed. It is always wise to have a bottle of Cardui on hand, ready for use.

Death Lurks In A Weak Heart | UNIQUE CASE OF FILIAL LOVE To Help His Mother a Penniless No bleman “Tries" a Clown Act in Paris Theater, Visitors to Paris who have recently wandered by chance into one of the “case concerts," which are mostly fre quented by that class who neither toil nor spin, must have been amazed and saddened by a very unusual music hall turn, writes the Paris correspond ent of the Brooklyn Eagle. Every night, between the “sentimental ten or” and the "chanteuse legere,” a mournful looking young man appears. He is greeted with derisive yelle. He sings, or tries to sing, a senti mental ballad and a comic song. He also imitates animals, the noises of tools and the whistling of locomotives. The effect is bo deplorable that the audience recently insisted on the “no ble clown” apologizing for his lack of skill. He humbly advanced to the footlights and bowed to right, left and before him. Then in a voice choked with sobs, he began to express his re gret With pathetic resignation he went down on his knees, offered pro fuse apologies for his lack of skill and promised to do his best to please them in the future. Few who have seen this lamentable exhibition know its origin and ex cuse. This abject buffoonery is in spired by one of the noblest motives — filial love. This descendant of one of the oldest and noblest families in Ven ice was left alone, when very young, with his infirm and penniless mother. For many years they lived on the charity of friends, but the old woman is now in such health that admission Into an almshouse would be the only means of saving her life. But this cannot be obtained without the pay ment of a certain sum, and her son is now employing the only means of procuring it open to him. Did Not Live Up to It.

Women Are Constantly Being Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pins tham s Vegetable Compound. "Worth mountains of gold,” says one woman. Another says, “I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for all the other medicines for women in the world.” Still another writes, “ I should like to have the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound thrown on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills.” We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of thia with such quo tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound accomplished such a universal success ? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for mor* than 30 years ? Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim ply because there is no other medicine so good for women’s ills. Here are two letters that just came to the writer’s desk—only two of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo man who will read them —and be guided by them. FROM MRS. D. H.

I doc tored with three doctors but they did me no good. They said nature must have its way. My sister ad vised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound and I pure based a bottle. Before it was gone the bloating left me and I was not so sore. I continued taking it until I had taken 12 bottles. Now I am stronger than I have been for years and can do all my work, even the washing. Your medicine is worth its weight in gold. I cannot praise it enough.
