PASTURE FOR HOGS.
The Kansas experiment station
has realized $11.90 per acre from
rape pasture and $24.10 from alfalfa
pasture in ninety-eight days. These
results were obtained from the fol
lowing experiments, which were be
gun July 25 and concluded October
31, 1902.
Thirty shoats averaging 52
pounds in weight, were divided as
nearly equally as possible into three
lots of tan each. Lot 1 was fed on a
grain mixture of shorts one-half,
corn meal one-fourth, and Kaiiir corn
meal one-fouth in a dry lot. The
other two lots were fed the same
grain ration, butone received raf e
pasture and the other alfalfa pastuie
in addition. Each lot given what
grain the hogs would eat up clean,
and each had access to water and
ashes. The weights of gaiu con
sumed aid gaius made arc as fol
lows.
No. 1—No pasture; gram consum
ed, 3,801 pounds; total gain, 1,023
pounds; grain consumed per 100
pounds gnin, 37 1 pounds.
No. 2— llane pasture; gram con
sumed, 3,244 pounds; total gain,
1.07(5 pounds; grain consumed per
100 pounds gain, 301 pounds.
No. a—Altalfa pasture; grain
consumed, 3,214 pounds; total gain,
1,078 pounds; grain coinsumed per
100 pounds gain, 300 pounds.
The gains of the three lots are
very nearly equal. The dry lot
consumed 557 pounds, or 70 pounds
for every 100 pounds of gain, more
gain than the pasture lots. The lot
on rape require one acre of pasture
while tire alfalfa lots used a trifle
less than one-half acre.
Tho lot without pasture required
3.71 pounds of grain, to produce
one pound of gain. Assigning the
same value of the grain fed hogs on
rape pasture, we have 877 pounds of
pork credited to the grain and 199
pounds credited to the rape. At
six cents per pound, the price at
which hogs were selling at the close
of the experiment, this would be a
credit of $11.!»0 per acre for the
rape. In a similar manner the
alfalfa is credited with 201 pounds
of pork, equal to 12.05, and as there
was only a half-acre of alfalfa this
makes a rate of #2t.l0 per acre.
The cost of praparing the seed
bed and seeing the rape was $1.80
per acre. It was seeded in the feed
lots on soil that would otherwise
have remained idle, or would have
arown up to weeds.
TUe shoats on pasture enjoyed
their diet and seemed satisfied.
Those in the dry lots seemed to be
hankering after something green,
and their appetites seemed unsatis
fied without somo kind of rougeness.
They would even nibble at straw in
a vain attempt to satisfy there crav
ing.
The experiment emphasizes the
superior value of alfalfa pasture.
Where alfalfa is not available, or
•where variety is wanted or it is des
ired to utilized otherwise waste laud,
Dwarf Essex rape, seeded at the
rate of six to eight pounds per acre
any time from early spring to late
summer, will furnish an excellent
diet that is greatly relished by the
hogs. Succulence and variety will
make healthier hogs that will return
increased profit.—D. II. Otis, Man
hattan, Kan., April 28, —The
Central Farmer.
Al Mawhinney has within the
past week sold 85 or a hundred hogs
for which he has reeived in the
neighborhood of $1,600. In a cur
load Mr. Mawhinney sentfrom Rock
ville last week there was sloped one
stag which weighed after delivery in
■Omaha, 820 pounds. Mr. Mawhin
nev ttnuka he might have made
him weigh 1,000 but was afraid to
ikeep him through hot weather.
The hog was a tboroughbreed Jersy
iRed and Mr. Mawlnuuey bought
him of a swine breeder in Iowa three
years ago, paying $25 for Lira. In
Omaha Swift and Armour's buyers,
would not make a bid for him, one
of the buyers stated that once in j
Chicago a hog of that size cost1
them $S00 in broken machinery in
tie proeesi. of slaughtering, etc.
The Cudahy Packing Co’s, buyer,
however, was undismayed by the
biggest thing Sherman county could
produce in the shape of live pork
and bought the bog and the uextj
day he telephoned to a friend of j
Mr. Mawhmuey’s that the damage
of tbier machinery in handling the
animal was estimated at $400.

We were to busy last week to pay j
any attention to what the Times said
about circulation. The only evidence \
that it produced to prove that it had j
the largest circulation was to charge
us with lying and swiping a stati
ment of his account with the West
ern Newspaper Union. These state-!
inents are both untrue- We did not
swipe a statement, but as we stated
two weeks ugo, it catne to us with
cur [latent prints direct from Omaha,
of course by mistake of the patent
print bouse. Now as to the largestj
circulation, the figures th it we gave
two weeks ago, that We were reciev
ing three quires and a half moie
[taper each wiek is true and we will
compare our statements from the
ready print house for three months
i
back, or farther, with those of the !
Times for the same period, if the
editor of that rug dare do it. Now j
let him [Hit up or shut up. A com- j
parison of this kiud will prove to
the public just who is lying about
this circulation business. As to his
trying to dodge the point as to what,
either of us are paying for the same
patent priuts service, we will posi- I
tively state that when he quit the I
Western Newspaper Union he did so
because a pop patent print house
started up in opposition, and after
that house had furnished patents so
cheap that it busted, he then went
back to tbe Western Newspaper j
Union and got bis patent plints for!
11 cents per quire, the same as we ;
did at that time. Then when the j
price of stationery and labor went
up, this same Western Newspaper
Union raised our patent prints to Id
cents per quire, and the same week
notified Brown that his prints would
cost him Id cents per quire, for be
(Brown) told us so with his own
mouth, und he further added that he
thought it was reasonable, although
be now studiously avoids stating
what he pays and says that we -‘are
paying too much.” If the [latent
medicine mao, Comanche, was to
visit this town again soon we fuel
sure that Brown would again buy
liberally for he is sorely in need of u
remedy that will take the conceit,
or rather the diaception out of him.
Positively brutal.
“My dear," said Growells the other
morning, as he was trying to read his
paper at the breakfast table, “do you
know that you have one of the best
voices in the world?”
“Do you really think so?” queried
the delighted Mrs. G., with a flush of
pride at the compliment.
“Sure,” replied the heartless hus
band, "otherwise it would have been
worn out long ago.”
SKVUKK ATTACK OK OKIK
Cured by One ITottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Kemedy.
"When I hurt an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) I actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Iicmedy”, says Frank \V. Kerry, ed.
itor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y.
■'This la the honest truth. I at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by taking a
teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night I
would take a dose and It seemed that In the
briefest interval the cough would pass oir
and I would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy actaii as a most agreeable
surprise Is putting It very mildly. 1 had no
idea that it would or could knock out the
grip, simply because I had never tried It
for snch a purpose, but it did, and it seemud
with the second attack of coughing < the
remedy caused it to not only be of less du.
rat ion, but the pains were tar less severe,
and I had not used the contents of one bot
tle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.’’ For

I.aat ntfht I kissed her In the h*?l—
My promised wife.
She said, “Now tell mo truly this—
Another girl did you e’er kiss
In all your life?"
I gazed down In her pleading face
And told her, "No."
Now. why did she. with pensive sigh
And sad look in her soft blue eye.
Say, "I thought so"?
The game she gave nn\ you'll admit,
Was pretty stiff;
And as I homeward went my way
And thought on what I’d heard her »ay,
I wondered If—
John Kingsland’s
“Last Chance"
John Kingsland was a splendid en
gineer. I say “was” not that he is
dead, but because somehow he has
dropped out of sight building that
“across the Andes” railroad. What I
was going to say was that if John
ha«l been as discerning aud quick of
judgment when it came to women as
he was when it came to gauging a
track, why then he probably would not
be w'here he is now.
Whether or not John's great liking
for the girls was due to his lack of
knowledge of the female character I
am not going to discuss. Certain it is
that while I knew him his heart was
never disengaged for more than three
weeks running. In this way he nearly
exhausted every year the season’s
supply of debutantes that the small
town where wo lived could furnish
without ever getting any nearer the
altar than the hangman di es to the
gallows. He kept this thing up for
some years till it became the
talk of the towrn, which did not
help his matrimonial aspirations. In
the mdfcntime ho was not growing any
younger, and he . finally took his suc
cessive failures so to heart that he
had to open the safety valve and take
some one into hiH confidence with
whom he could share his sorrows! As
we were chums in those days he came
to me for sympathy, without, however,
getting much of it. One of these oc
currences I remember perfectly.
“Teddie,” lie said dejectedly, “Ted
die, old man, I'm in love."
This beginning had become an old
story to me, and so I answered with
as much of a sneer as I could com
mand:
“What—again?”
“Now, don't, Toddle,” ho pleaded.
“This time it’s serious.”
“Who is it?” I asked, having made
a lightning calculation to see who was
left for him to fall in love with.
"Why, Miss Klemmeyer,” he an
swered. “You know that rich suoo
manufacturer's daughter. I think she's
about the sweetest, loveliest girl—”
“Series 3. No. lt>,” from me.
“Eh! what’s that?” he growled.
“Oh, I simply said sweet sixteen.”
“Perhaps you think I’m too old for
her, hut as a matter of fact she is sev
enteen years ten months and thirteen
days, her mother told me. Now I do
not think she would make a splendid
wife for any man except—”
“Except you?”
“No, I did not mean that. Except
her parents, i am afraid I could not
stand her parents.”
“What have they got to do with it
except to five their blessing?”
“There's just the rub! I don’t think
they could say it grammatically. You
see, the old man was nothing but an
ordinary cobbler, and I don’t believe
he can sign his name to his checks—”
“Oh, I see—of course that is an ob
jection. Hut why not make him give
you cash?”
“Now don’t be an ass. What I’m
afraid of is that they will jar on
everybody I know, and, well, you
know what that would mean.”
“Then the only advice I can give
Is don't marry her,” I replied rather
testily. “Besides, are you sure she
would have you?”
At this last shot of mine John seem
ed insulted, mumbled something about
“Teddie, old man, I’m In love.”
Idiots and blockheads—which 1 had
thought of saying, but was too kind to
—and went off to drown his sorrow in
a glass of soda water at the fashion
able drug store where he would be
sure to meet some of the girls. A few
days later there was a big announce
ment In the society columns of tho
local paper announcing the engage
ment. of Miss Klemmeyor to Mr. Larry
Jenkins, son of the millionaire lumber
merchant, thus bringing these big for
tunes and first families in still closer
touch, etc. Poor John came home
with his heart apparently blown to

later to ca3t his eyes around for
some one to wilder the pieces of his
heart together.
So it went on until one day his skill,
his engineering skill, was rewarded,
and he was sent to Europe on a big
and important mission. It was when
he was about to engage his passage
that a brilliant idea struck him. It
made him so excited that he could
hardly refrain from telling me, but
he did not—thin, and for once I was
at sea, unable to make heads or tails
of him. In the evening he gut into
his glad rags and started out, saying
that lie was going to call at the Eric
sons', who had a fine house on Peak
avenue.
The upshot of If was that not many
days later the society columns un
announced that Mrs. Ericson, with her
charming daughter Marguerite, who
had made her debut that winter, would
go abroad on the Auguste Victoria.
Just below It was stated that Mr.
John Kingsland had also booked pas
sage on that steamer. Then it sudden
ly dawned on me what John's scheme
was. With the charming Marguerite
all to himself on shipboard, no rivals
near, and the mother agreeable, he
would woo and win her then and
there, and perhaps marry her before
they returned home.
The time came for the departure,
and as I had a vacation just then l
decided to see John off, though I am
afraid that he was not overjoyed to
have me along. Wo met Mrs. Ericson
and her fair daughter In New York,
In the evening he got into his glad
rags and started out.
and while John attended to the tick
ets and the baggage I took the ladies
to see a t'ew of the Bights.
The night before the sailing John
impressed his traveling companions
with the necessity of being on hand
bright and early at 9 o’clock, ns the
steamer was due to sail at 10 a. m.
Right here is whore John made his
first mistake. He had made his cal
dilations carelessly, and an error had
sneaked in, for as we found out later
the steamer did not sail at 10 o’clock,
but at 9. When we got to tho dock
just a minute or two after 9 o’el c
they had put the last pieco of ba; - ■
on board, and John, for fear of hein:;
left behind, and have his fair Marguer
ite sail away without him, ran up the
gangplank without even turning to
look or say good-bye to me. Ho was
the last passenger aboard.
And this is where John made his
second mistake, (or if he had turned
to look he would have seen a hansom
cab tearing down the pier with two
women frantically waving their hand
kerchiefs. As It was he only turned
to wave good-bye when he had reached
the upper deck. Then his hand sud
denly dropped as he leaned over the
railing, gazing with a look of utter
and helpless astonishment on Mrs.
and Miss Ericson, who were In vain
Imploring everybody around them to
stop the steamer that was now gliding
slowly out of its berth into the river
with John ami the baggage.
And so it happened that being left
behind with me they made the best
of it till the sailing of the next steam
er, with the result that when John
received them on the other side the j
fair Marguerite wore a new ring as
splendid as I had been able to pur
chase witli the remainder of my vaca
tion money.
I df»’t believe John ever forgave
me, for it was his firm conviction t.iat
the failure of his fine scheme was
mainly my fault, and that I caused
him to lose this last chance in the
matrimonial lottery, as he was pleas d
to call it.—Christopher Shadow in
New York Times.
