We have l receiyed several : en quiries recently .with. reference to the benefits derived from 'cooking feed for hogs, vtlnasmuch' as the crop of hog feed in some portions of the country is Bhort .this year, it is desirable to make the .most out of that on hand. Many experiments have been made both in this coun try and England, in this line, - to determine whether or not the value of the food was enhanced by cook ing, and if so,, to what extent A number of feeders throughout the country have practiced cooking the feed for their pigs for several years, and believe it to bevprofita ble. This class of persons is con stantly increasing. When experi ments have been made with pure corn meal cooked into a solid mush, the results in feeding have not been satisfory, as it became so impacted in the stomach that the natural functions of the .digestive appar atus failed to operate upon it' It became wasted. "When pumpkins, potatoes and other vegetables, or short cut clover hay or other hay is boiled tip with it and mixed through it the greatest benefits are derived. Baspail, a writer up on the chemistry of foods, says: "Starch is not actually nutritive to man till it has been boiled or cook ed. The heat of the stomach is not 5:A i.. i . Duxxxvi0ut to uu uix iiio grains oi tne feculent mass, which is sub- jected to the rapid action of the organ; and recent experiments does so by adding to the soil nitro prove the advantage that results gen, taken from the atmosphere. rr, e. rr wnicn are given to graminivorous animals for food, for a large por- portion, when given.whole, in the ooaca wuuugu m x- testine perfectly unaffected as when J T f : iT : Z : , .

This is however a larger average than can be counted upon in any large operation. Mr. Joseph Sullivan, who made a thorough examination .of all available statistics, summed up the evidence as follows : "conclude ixiamae pounas oi porK from a bushel, fed on the ear, twelve pounds from raw meal, thirteen and one-half pounds of pork from boil ed corn, sixteen a half pounds from i : i - j ' .i coorca meai, is no more than a moderate average which the feed may expect to realize from a bushel of corn, under ordinary circum stances of weather, with dry, warm and clean feeding pens."

Grasses and -grains add nothing to the soil" upon 1 which they: r grow; The forage they yield is less valua ble and nutritious' thanT that r of legumes'. It is ' therefore, certain ana reasonauie matins Dener ana more profiable f or the land owner to grow legumes than grasses or grajns. Grains must, however, be grown for . human consumption because the public taste and cus torn demands them. -But there is no reason why grass, hay, oats and other animal foods should not be wholly replaced by legumes. There are .many reasons why this should nofrbe done. ; There is no reason, but the force of habit why farmers should continue at a loss to lay down land to grass .when a large profit can be made from legume meadows and pastures. It must always be remembered that though lefirumes can draw abundance of nitrogen from the atmosphere, they depend wholly upon the. soil for their mineral food lime, phosphoric acid and potash. "Without plenty of mineral food the plants will be unable to draw to their fullest 'Capacity upon the atmospheric nitrogen. The exact amount of mineral food necessary to supply any. par ticular leguminous 1 crop upon any particular field can be deter mmexi only oy special trials upon the field and crop in question. These trials are best done by means of trial plots of" lrlO . acre each. The tree mineral foods above named can be be tried upon these plots alone and in various combi nations untils the most profitable combination is discovered. In practice, however, we should not be particular about the lowe limit of plant food. The best ru is to give the plants more mineral food than they can assimilate and to repeat the dose every year. The excess fertilizer is not lost but re mains stored up in the soil. "When after a- number of years the legum inous turf is broken up and grain or roots grown on the! field all the plant food stores in thee soil by previous fertilization will be re covered in the new crops. Mineral plant food is comparatively cheap Lime costs about $5 per ton. Phosphoric acid as superphpsphate about $12 per ton. Potash as muriate of potash about $45 per ten. A good general formula for all legumes is given below hut this is to be increased as many times as tons of the legumes are expected. In other words, the food given is sufficient for one ton of growth only. M jriate of potash " 80 pounds Superphosphate 100 " Lime .75 " Gekald McCarthy, M. S. Wake Co., N. C. Special Annoahcement.
