THE SCIENCE OF “SLOPPING HOGS” New Kind of Feed Prepared by the Packing Houses Proves a Great Success As Fat Producer. Bulletin 94 of the Nebraska Experi ment Station rives a discussion of the feeding of tankage and ground bone to hogs. Tankage is a concentrated protein meal made from scraps of meat trim med from beef carcasses in the pack ing houses. When dried and ground it looks very much like dark colored wheat shorts and is shipped in hun dred-pound sacks to the trade. Tank age is being quite commonly fed by progressive breeders and feeders of hogs in the state. It is especially used where breeders wish to get rapid growth on pure-bred hogs or where feeders wish to get large and quick gains, putting their hogs on the mark et early. One hundred and nine pigs were us ed in the four experiments conducted, v. . In these experiments the cost has always been lessened by the use of live pounds of tankage for each 95 pounds of corn. This would be equivalent to 290 pounds of tankage for each 100 bushels of corn fed. In Experiment III the cost of the gains was lessened 08 cents per hundred by the addition of 5 per cent tankage, while Experi ment II the tankage lessoned the cost of gains only 16 cents per 100 pounds but made corn pay out 20 cents per bushel more than where fed without tankage. In Experiment I, tankage lessened the cost 21 cents per 100 pounds. The hogs in Experiment I were in a dry lot. In Experiment II they were on alfalfa pasture. In Ex periment III they were also on pas ture. It will be noted in this bulletin that while 5 per cent tankage added to the corn proved very profitable, the feed ing of 10 per cent tankage was not so profitable; in fact, in some of these experiments the gains so made cost more than where corn was fed with out tankage. A notable advantage in feeding tankage is seen in the more rapid gains made by the hogs and the consequent shortening of the fatten ing period. In all experiments where tankage was fed, the hogs consumed more feed, made larger gains, and were not easily put oil their feed, while the hogs fed upon straight shell corn consumed less feed and were more easily thrown off feed after the first six weeks of fattening. This bulletin indicates that it is profitable to feed tankage along with corn to breeding or fattening pigs. Experiment IY of this bulletin is a test of the breaking strength of the bones of the leg in pigs which had been fed upon corn alone, corn with 25 per cent shorts, corn with 10 per cent tank age, and corn with 10 per cent ground bone. The test indicated that both the ground bone and the tankage very greatly increased the breaking strength of the bone in the animal so fed, and indicated that the feeding of either tankage or ground bone or a combination of the two to young breeding animals would tend to strengthen the bones in these animals and give them more perfect feet and legs.

Spencer Advocate: Dr. Aiken, Josiah Coombs, E. I. Parker and Howard Ware drove to O’Neill Sun day and took the train for Wood Lake for a wefek’s hunting. Ducks are reported to be plentiful this season along the lakes and streams. Hunters are killing large numbers of them and the “bang” of the shotgun is heard in all directions. Rev. Abbott will preach Sunday, November 11 at 10:30 a. m. on the “Mystiries of the Kingdom of Heav en.” Mark 4, 11, and at 10:30 a. m. on “Magnifying the Name of the Lord Jesus. Versus the Idol.” Frank Ilarnish arrived home last week from Norfolk, where he has been at work in the asylum for several months. He expects to go to Pueblo the latter part of the month to take a position in a hospital there. The public has been so engrossed with politics the past week that little else has been heard or talked of, and hence the usual chanels of news have furnished no “stories” for the news paper man on the hunt for matter for his paper. The city council met in regular ses sion Monday evening. There was lit tle or no business transacted aside from allowing the claims. The report of the city treasurer showed balances on hand of over $1,500 in the general and water rental funds. There has been a rather heavy drain on the trea sury the past six months owing to the extensive building of cement walks and crossings. The city will be re funded, however, for its outlay in building sidewalks as the expense of building same is assessed to the pro perty owners along whose lots the walks are build and it will be paid back in taxes. Notwithstanding these expenses the treasury is in good shape. Another charge has been made in the ollicc of city pound master, which is the third during the present year. If. A. Johring has been appointed to that position by the mayor. Mr. Joh ring says it is his intentions to pot a stop to cattle running at large and warns all having live stock of any des cription running loose to take the same up or he will empound it. Arthur Coykendall, who had been visiting with his parent’s here and with old friends for several days, de parted for Washington, D. 0., Tues day. Arthur is still employed in the government printing office, where he has a good position. Arther has work ed himself to the front by his own ef forts and his frit nds here are gald to know that he is doing well. Emil Zimmerman surprised his par ents Tuesday evening by arriving un awares for a few week’s stay on leave of absence from the navy. Emil is in the naval hospital corps with the bat tle ship Virginia. He has recently re turned from Cuba, where a portion of the Atlantic ileet was sent pending the settlement of affairs there. He is looking well and says he likes the service and expects to continue in the same. Rev. Abbott returned home last evening from Omaha, where Mrs. Ab bott has recently undergone a quite serious operation at the Methodist hospital. She is convalascent, and it is thought will be able to come home in about ten days and join her husband again in the work of the church. Mrs. Abbott has been a sufferer for many years, but it is hoped that great relief will be realized from the recent opera tion. Any person who pays money on sub scription to The Frontier during our subscription contest will get the Ne braska Farmer absolutely free. The Farmer is a weekly agriculture paper, and costs $1 per year at any other time. It is the only paper of its kind in the state that stops promptly when the time is out. To get. both The Fron tier and The Farmer for the price of one is certainly a bargain, you also have a chance to help one of the girls win a prize. The ladies of the Presbyterian church having disposed of their “Rum mage Sale” goods to Mr. J. P. Waldron —who will remove them to the Ro bert’s building, they wish in this way to thank the public for their very liberal patronage, so that it has made it possible for the ladies to wipe out a debt of two hundred and ninety four dollars—with the exception of twenty-seven dollars and sixty cents. The ladies also wish to thank Mr. Reka for allowing them the use of his building free of rent and showing them many courtesies which they greatly appreciated. One of the old timers in Inman pre cinct who helped roll up the big ma jority for Scott for county attorney tells The Frontier how it happened. Inman, he says, lias a “blind-pig” that is doing a flourishing business without leave or license. The elements who stand for law and decency in both parties made it an issue in the town ship. They could get no assurance from the fusion crowd at O’Neill that the objectionable place would be put out of business were Whelan elected, while every assurance was given by the republican leaders that the joint would be closed up if Scott was elected. Democrats, pops and republicans all joined in to carry the township for Scott on this assurance. While Whe lan carried the county by the smallest majority any fusionist ever did l'or that office, it was no fault of the fel lows in Inman that he was elected. Contest Notes. It costs no more now to pay your subscription than later on. But if you pay now while the contest is in progress you can get two papers for the price of one. The price of The Frontier is always the same, $1.50 per year, and by paying this amount now you will get the Nebraska Farmer of Lincoln free, also be entitled to vote in the contest and help some young lady win a valuable prize. We are going to give away three fine prizes in this contest to the girls who secure the most votes from money paid on subscription to The Frontier. Our first prize is a iine Bush & Gerts piano purchased of G. W. Smith, the O’Neill music dealer. This make of instrument is Mr. Smith’s leading piano and is well known in this town and county and speaks for itself. Mr. Smith is also oflering a liberial dis count on the purchase of a piano to the girls who come out second, third and fourth in the contest. See Mr. Smith and have him explain the pro position. Our second prize is a fine gold watch, 15-jewel Waltham movement in a 20 year case. This watch is a beauty and is on exhibition at the jewelry store of W. M. Lochard. Our third prize is a year's scholar ship in the Wayne Normal, one of the' best schools in the state and well pa tronized from all parts of the state. LINGERING COLD. Withstood Other Treatment But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. “Last winter I caught a very severe cold which lingered for weeks,” says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. “My cough was very dry and harsh. The local dealer recommended Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy and guaranteed it, so I gave it atrial. One small bot tle of it cured me. I believe Chamber lain’s Cough remedy to be the best I have ever used.” This remedy is for sale by Gilligan & Stout. Corn Wanted. We are in the market for corn deli v-j ered at ranch, O’Neill or Emmett.— Call on, telephone or write Ditch Company or Clark Guilenbaugh, buy er. 20-8 Strayed. Ditch Company steer branded in left side C, also hole in each ear. 20-2 Ed Eno, or Ditch Company. BBSDLTS OF ELECTION About an Even Break in Holt, Show ing Republican Gains. SMALL MAJORITY FOR WHELAN Republicans Get Two Supervisors, One Representative, State Senator and Congressman. Incomplete returns for Holt county indicate a fusion majority on the state ticket of about 150. Returns are un usally slow arriving and nothing de finite on the state could be obtained up to Wednesday afternoon, although Sheldon, republican, is conceded elect ed by from 15,000 to 20,000 majority. Congressman Kinkald carried Holt county by something like 400 and has a majority in every county in the dis trict so far heard from, insuring his reelection by about 5,000. Returns on state senator are not complete, Wheeler county being to hear from yet. Phillips is in the lead lfi or 17 votes and a small republican majority is looked for in Wheeler, in suring his election. Sam Green, republican, of Ewing is elected representative by a majority of probably 100 in the county, and H. R. Ilenry, one of the fusion nominees, is elected by a similar majority. The fight on county attorney was perhaps waged the hardest and the fusion candidate wins out by the small majority of about 50, although as this is written live precincts are to hear from yet. Scott, the republican can didate, made a remarkable race and reduced the hitherto fusion majority of from 250 to 300 to less than 100. The fusionists claimed Whelan would carry the county by 500 and are considerably disappointed over the small majority they got. Scott was given the hand some majority of 98 in Atkinson pre cinct and 42 in Inman. Stuart town ship, which normally should be re publican, was subjected to the well known tactics of the fusionists, and carried for Whelan by about 60 majority, which elected him. John Golden defeated J. C. Horiskey for supervisor in O’Neill and Grattan by 20 majority. Clark, the populist supervisor in the first district, was re elected over Johnson; Keyes, republi can, was reelected in the fifth district over Grimes and Sturdevant, over Shorn in the 7th district. This makes the board of supervisors the isame as before, five republicans and two fu sionists. A completed tobulated statement of the vote of the county will appear in our next issue. fl ~=\ | N.
