We have frequently made the state

their chemical analyses. We have
claimed that the effect on the ani

and that a small quantity of roots fed

freer assimilation of other tfoods, says
the Homestead.
There has .hist come to hand u re
port tfroni the Ontario experiment sta
tion, in which an interesting experi
ment has bren conducted with hogs,
the results of which tally very close
ly .-ith ow position Kin the subject.
One lot of hogs fed ftmrley and -middlings
for a period 'Of seven months
gave a d-aily gain vf two-tifths -of u
pound, while another lot, fed -with a
similar quantity of the same 'grain,
supplemented by roots, gavengainof
futir-ilfUts of a pound per day. In this
instance it was found that 310, pounds
of ro'otiwere equivalent to 100 pounds
of meal. This report claims that this
is an ceedingly high value. for roots
and yvt-such wjre the facts-indicated
by the experiment.
In smother instance, cram-niid mid
dlings were fed, in which cast; the hogs
gavesix-tenth- of a pouml daily gain,
whil' the gain was seven-.tenths of a
poikud when .this meal was supple
mented by roots. In thiia.afce it was
foiciid that 5WJ pounds of rroots equaled
100 pounds if the meal .in feeding
vahae.
Wo believe- that there would be more
healthy hog? in the emmtry if roots
were grown to n largtm extent and
mude to take the place df some of our
hiKiyy meals in the hug. ration. We
btflieve in nnauy instances that hogs

"It would seem thnt if anything on
earth belonged to a man it is Lis
physiognomy, and the right to its re
production by photographic process or
othcrwise,"reinarked a member of the
District bar to a Washington Stat
man. "Yet the difficulty that 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 ladies 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
clusion. "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
and iullirts 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
Mibltshed'whleh will insure to thc-high-est
ns well as the humblest citizen,
the right to place a 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 a 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 nc
tors and actresses. It is to the inter
est of the members of the tlicatricaU
profession to keep their features hc
fore tlic public as much as possible,
and they encourage the practice rath
er than frown upon It. But to take
the features of a beautiful society
woman, or a lady in private life, and
nse them on a label of merchandise,
even without her acconipanyliignama,,
or the features of a deceased publir
man, is a personal insult and. littler
bliort of a grievous outrage.
"Manufacturers of all kinds- of
merchandise and articles, as is appar
ent from bill posters and other
placard advertisements, use, withoutl
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, cither
nlonc or with the features of other'
men, smiling iu 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 the family of a person do
ceased to see the features of theii
loved ones thus publicly displayed tc
the profit of strangers." .
