oooor,ooo.nononononoa R'i rnh-Tiir mniirn r" 2 The Maryland' experiment station lias published some experiments with feeding pigs. Somo of the Important results are: ' It -was found that with some rations .the gains on pigs could be produced as low as 2 cents per pound. In all the tests where properly com , pounded rations were used : pork - was produced at a. profit when the pigs (were not allowed to become too old. , V The cost of producing , a pound ef pork Increases with the age of a pig. The aim should be to produce ; from 150 to 200 pound pigs at G to 7 months old for the greatest profit , Skimmilk was found to have a feed' lng value for pigs equal to fully double the price charged at most of the cream cries of the state. : Separator skimmilk at one-half cent per gallon and linseed and gluten meals at $15 per ton have about the -same .value for balancing; rations for pig feed. . . . -,. Cream or king gluten meal was found to be more economical for balancing rations for'plgs than'liiiseed meal. ; Ground fodder, such as the new corn product, was found to be a valuable addition to rations for pigs. Raising Squab. , : Breeding pigeon squabs for market is , profitable. The best stock Is the hom ing pigeon. It being of good size, pro lific, faithful In feeding and of good - appearance when dressed. The best results are with birds not allowed their freedom, but with wired in areas for exercise. ' Tbe fittings of a loft are nest boxes and roost places beside them, drinking and bath dishes, a box - of salt cat and a lump of rock salt, The food required Is corn, wheat- and , Canada peas, with barley, oats and buckwheat occasionally and hemp and , millet once In awhile; also green food, as lettuce or cabbage. Some prefer to let the breeders mate as they please; At J I t f , ' . tuners, uesirmg size, ma&e xne selec tions. The old birds feed and care for the young until almost of market size, the youngsters bringing better prices if taken before they must shift for themselves, as they at once begin to 1 m - . - lose, oquaus are soia uressea ana are always in demand. A Irlah Potatoes, irisn potatoes are crown m mils or ridges or In trenches, according to local , conditions, says the Philadelphia Ledg er. In. New Jersey the trench gives best results, except In very moist sit- juations. Tbe reason In It Is the roots tare deep down when started. As the plant grows tbe soil . is drawn from either Bide about It, letting It keep only Its head above until the level Is reach' ed; when it Is let grow, and the vigor in it soon gives the leaf growth that , covers, the soil and prevents the weeds getting a hold. Very early potatoes come to market from New Jersey by sprouting the seed Indoors In sand or In moistened blankets or even In warm cellars, cutting to the sprout, setting In trenches in warm spots and when there Is ' danger of frost covering the head entirely over witb the earth or with straw. It Is trouble, but for tbe market gardener with the fancy trade or tbe home grower with his little gar den It pays. " ' , ' Wheat Bran. The farmer who grows wheat can make a good profit In selling his wheat and buying wheat bran to feed out, say American Cultivator. The pound of wheat will nearly pay for two pounds of bran, and the bran if sweet and In good condition Is worth more per pound toT feed to cows in milk, those- soon to calve, to growing "young stock, sows In pig or for sheep before lambing and while lambs are with them than the whole wheat. would be. If It Is not fattening or heating enough at other times, the wheat can be sold and corn bought and still leave a bal ance in pocket. It is much like selling the butter fat from the milk and feed ing calves or pigs on skimmilk. which Is better for them and has not so high a selling value. If more fat Is wanted, a little linseed -meal or flaxseed tea will give it at less fost than butter fat DleadeJ Floar. At an Illinois farmers' Institute an object lesson was giren In the value of blended flour, says The Rural New Yorker. Wheat flour mixed with corn meal was made Into biscuits, which were given away and eaten. The use of corn with wheat cheapens the Cour without lowering Its nutri tive value, and. if sold at blended Cour. It would Ftrpply an honest prod uct at a clipper rate than wheat cnly.

They . are found to contain refuse from broom corn factories corncobs and similar materials, and instead of having, as good bran should have,' about 10 per cent protein they have from 9,6 to 12 per cent and thus are worth from less than two-thirds to , three-fourths the value of pure bran.
