We have frequently made the. state
ment, that roots have a feeding value,
much higher than is represented by
their chemical analyses. We have
claimed that the effect on the ani
mal's system has been most beneficial,
and that a small quantity of roots fed
hi nearly evejy ease would cause a.
freer assimilation of other tfoods, says
the Homestead.
There has Just come to hand a re
port from the Ontario experiment Ra
tion, in which an interesting experi
ment has been conducted with hags,
the results of which tally very close
ly .-ith onr position on the subject.
One lot of hogs fed Parley and .mid
dlings for a -period 'of seven months
gave a daily gain rf two-fifths of a
pound, while another lot, fed "with u
similar quantity of the same -grain,
supplemented by roots, gave Ji'gain of
four-fifths of a pound per day. In this
instance It Was fcuind that 310, pounds
of roblsj-were equivalent to 300 pounds
of meal. This report clnims that this
is an ieeedingly high value. for roots
and yt -such worc the fncsts. indicated
by the experinnent.
In smother iaistance, conrn.-nnd mid
dlings were fed, in which case the hogs
gave .-nix-tenths- of a pouixd daily gain,
white- the gain was seven-tenths of a
poiKiul when .this meal was supple
mented by rwots. In this e.ai-e it was
foicnd that 5Gi pounds of iroots equaled
100 pounds of the meal .in feeding
vatac.
Wo believe- that there wrooild be more
healthy hog? in the country if roots
were grown to a largen extent and
made to take the place o"f some of our
httnyy meals in the hog. ration. We
believe in onany instances that hogs
one fairly burned up wiaHi heavy meals,
amd that nrcich economynuight be prac
ticed by Kupplementiitjjfsomc cheap,
tuicculcnt. food, such ai mangels, car
rtits' or turnips. As to. the effect of
roots on the characterotif the increase
in 'this case, the rfcpont says: "Those
which wtwe fed roots wore much more
;growthy and thrifty looking than the
others and showed less tendency to be
come fat- It is possible therefore,
ihat therroots had a beneficial effect
rppon thoTdigestive organs of the ani
mials, causing them to digest their food
ibey.qc than the othvrs.ffor there is
Uittle doubt that hogstlosely confined
inn, -pens, tire likely to hwrc indigestiou."

(rent Siionl Collection,
A Brooklyn woman has accom

than half a ton. N, Y. Siu.
"It. would seem that If anything on
earth belonged to a man it is bis
physiognomy, nnd the right to ita re
production by photographic process or
otherwlsc,"remarked a member of the
District bar to a Washington Star
man. "Yei the difficulty thnt, some of
our prominent statesmen and leading
public characters have in the attempt
to remove, by legal proceedings, their
facial representations from advertise
ments of brands of cigars and liquors,
and on the part of several ladles t(
prevent Hour dealers and other ven
dors of merchandise from reproducing
their pretty faces on the labels of
goods would lead to a different con
elusion. "It also appears odd that while the
law jealously guards a person's good
name, or the use of his or her name
in any respect, and bestows damages
nnd iullicts punishment upon the of
fender, a photograph Is seized upon '
by anybody and used without regard
to the owner's feelings or rights, un
less it be copyrighted, and often the
copyright is ruthlessly violated.
"While there have been some deci
sions, it is to be hoped that a fixed
legal precedent may become firmly es
tablished'whieh will insure to tht-hlgh-est
ns well as the humblest citizen
the right to place. iv legal embargo upon
the" practice of the promiscuous use
of his features by another, but it
Would appear that it is rather .hard
when one is obliged to go to the ex
pensive process of the courts to en
force u right which ought to be en
forced by mere verbal or written pro
test; and this right should be extend
ed to the heirs of a deceased person.
"The practice mainly arose from the
free use of the photographs of ac
tors and actresses. It is to the inter
est of the members of the thcatricalt
profession to keep their features he
fore the public as much as possible,
nnd they encourage the practice rath
er than frown upon It. Hut to take
the features of a beautiful society
woman, or a lady in private life, and
use them on a label of merchandise,
even without her necompanylngnanui,,
or the features of a deceased public
man, is a personal insult and. littler
short of a grievous outrage.
"Manufacturers of all kindfr of
merchandise and articles, as is appar
ent from bill posters and other
placard advertisements, use, without)
compunction or consent, the features'
of men and women, and often their
names, to bring goods to the attention
of the public. The offensive side oft
taking a man's face and using it, either
alone or with the features of other'
men, smiling in appreciation of the
flavor of a brand of cigars, wines or
liquors, is so great that it need not
be adverted to, while it must be a real
cruelty to the family of a person do
ceased to sec the features of theii
loved ones thus publicly displayed tc
the profit of strangers." .
