In an experiment conducted at tin North Platte Experiment Station ii Western Nebraska recently , two lots o weaned brood sows were fed , the om three pounds of corn a day per IfK pounds of hog , together with alfalf ; pasture ; the other four poands of con in i > , dry lot without alfalfa or othe seed. It required nearly 43 per ecu more corn to yield 100 pounds of gaii in the dry lot than in the pasture. T < pasture a pig through the season a North Piatte costs about GO cents , val uing alfalfa consumed in the field a 9 ± r > 0 a ton. Twenty-nine shouts , averaging IS- pounds , made for six weeks an averngi daily gain of 1..10 pounds each on thro : pounds of corn a day per 100 pound1 of pigs. With corn at 35 cents this made a cost , not including the alfalf ; consumed , of $ ± 30 per 100 iXHtnds o. gain. Another lot , aver.'iging 13 ! pounds , was fed a full ration of corn They gained l.

" The of fice of experiment stations of the DC partment of Agriculture siimmari/.e ; some Wisconsin station pig-feeding ex periments covering a period of tci years , with the following conclusions Where there is plenty of time fo maturing pigs , and It is not necessar : to secure the maximum daily gain , i is doubtful if It pays to grind confer for pigs. The test shows that wlier quick maturity Is on important item better results are secured from corn meal. Pigs fed cornmeal eat mor grain and make somewhat larger dail : gains. Cornmeal can doubtless be fc < to good advantage in finishing off : bunch of hogs which were first fei shelled corn.

Growers of con on the rich , bottom lands have com plained for years that too much growtl went to stalk , at the expense of th < ear as well as of soil fertility. Th < Illinois Station shows that every farm er has It within his own hands to de termine the location of ears and re duce the height of the stalk. Th < way to go at it Is merely selection- going through the fields now and se lectlng , as foundation stock , seed can growing at easy husking distance fron the ground , and then repeating the pro cess each year until the habit become ; fixed. We walked through a 200-acn field of fine corn with the owner a fev\ days ago.
