BEST RATION FOR THE PIGS Economical to Make Use of All Avail able Skim Milk-Furnishes Necessary Protein. In making up a ration for pigs, it is .economy to make the best use of the skim milk available. Experiments have proved conclusively that where sufficient skim milk is available to furnish the protein content of the ration to balance up corn, it is not necessary for good economy to feed any kind of high protein concentrates to growing pigs. The proper proportion in which to feed skim milk and corn for the best results, is from one to three pounds of the skim milk to one pound of corn meal, using the larger proportion of milk when the pigs are young, and ..gradually increasing the amount of ?ora meal in proportion to milk used. For young pigs, the ration will be very materially benefited by the ad ?dition of c liberal portion of middlings, Well Finished Bunch of Hogs. -which is a well-balanced feed for pigs. It is a difficult matter to estimate the ^amount of feed which will be required by 80 pigs up to August 1, as very much depends upon the capacity of the pigs to make rapid gains. On good rape or alfalfa pasture, rhowever, no more than 350 to 400 pounds of grain, or its equivalent, .-should be required for 100 pounds of gain. The value of skim milk can be ?educed to a grain basis by figuring :860 pounds of skim milk to equal 100 pounds of grain when fed with corn 4n the proportion above advised. Figuring upon this basis, lt will not be difficult to estimate approximately the amount of feed which will be re squired for the time mentioned. TREATING HORSE FOR THRUSH Hoof Should Be Trimmed Properly, Diseased Parts Removed and Strong Disinfectant Applied. 4By M. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex periment Station.) Thrush in horses' feet is frequently .caused by standing in filth. This changes the texture .of the hoof and Infection follows. Continuous stand ing on very dry floors may also cause this trouble, while in some cases it is apparently caused by a contraction of the hoof. When the horse is shod with high heel and toe calks or the wall of the hoof is allowed to grow very long and the horse stands on hard floor so that there is no pressure on the frog of the foot, the condition of the frog is impaired and it becomes subject to -infection and disease. Cases of thrush need a dry, clean stall. Trim the hoof properly, remove the diseased parts and apply a strong dis infectant over the sole of the foot. Any of the coal tar disinfectants may be used full strength. Pure carbolic acid may be used, care being taken that it does not run down the heel and hum the skin. After the first strong disinfectant, oalome! should be dusted over the dis eased surface and some thick clay ap plied to the entire sole. Working Brood Mares. If mares are kept at light work the last few weeks they are benefited by being worked right up to foaling time. Brood mares are injured by severe work which requires them to strain or oyer-exert. Backing heavy loads is not a suitable task for mares heavy In foal. In most years enough mares will miss getting in foal to take care of the heaviest work. They are best off if rested for ten days of a couple of weeks after foaling. Whey for Pigs. Ordinary whey is worth not more than half as much as skim milk or buttermilk when fed the pigs. Most of the muscle-building material is taken out of milk by cheese, and the resulting whey Is very poor in muscle builders, as compared with ordinary milk. It takes about a gallon and a half of whey to equal the feeding Value of one pound of corn or barley. THE MISANTHRflPHE By ETHEL WARD ME8ERVEY. (Copyright. 1914, by W. Q. Chapman.) "Vapid, profitless, almest unendur able," was the way Ralph Burt de scribed life as it presented itself to his distorted view. Then he became very much ashamed of the misanthropic utterance. He glanced about his lonely but elegant home, he looked into a mirror and noted the unusual glow of health upon his cheeks, he realized that he had not a real care in the world. Out side the birds were singing, the How ers blooming, all radiant nature breathing purity, peace and promise. The sun shone at its brightest. Its rays glorified the redolent garden. Be yond it lay a sportsman's paradise stables, kennels, garage and hangar. It represented the latest facilities for pleasure. "Yes, with all this, I may well be ashamed of myself for finding noth ing worth living for!" murmured Burt, self-reproachfully. Burt went out to the spot where the hangar was located. With the assist ance of his hired man the superb bi plane he operated was wheeled out. He had become quite an expert avi ator and enjoyed his air trips greatly. Under his expert direction the ma chine struck an upward lateral course, a thing of life and beauty. He en joyed the rare exhibition of pure air and bird-like speed immensely. Ten miles accomplished, Burt vol planed to a meadow stretch to adjust a trivial defect in the control mechan ism. He had just got in trim to re sume his. cloud work, when a shout down the highway attracted his atten tion. With both Interest and indignation the amateur airman observed a lad of about fourteen running towards bim as if for his life. Struggling behind him, but in hot) pursuit, were three men. They were j shouting and gesticulating. One car-1 ried a cane, which he waved menac- j ingly. A second had picked up a lot of stones. These he hurled with va- j ried aim after the running boy. "You young rascal!" roared the man in advance. "Drop it, I tell you, or I'll have you jailed!" But the little fellow never heeded the threatening cries and actions of his pursuers. He forged straight j ahead, momentarily nearing the spot j where Burt stood. "This way! This way!" shouted ; Burt, as the boy came nearer. "Climb : under the fence." "Oh! oh!" yelled the lad Just at that moment, in frantic pain. "Brace up!" cried Burt, leaning over and lifting the lad clear of the en tangling wires. "Now, then, who are those men?" "Villains! They'll kill me-and you, too. Oh, they're coming!" They were, indeed, but Burt was going. He lifted the helpless lad in his arms bodily, and made a run for the biplane. "Don't get frightened," he ordered, placing his charge in the seat behind the pilot post and hurriedly strapping him in. "Quick, mister! oh, quick as you can!" insisted his passenger, with a terrified glance at the fence. The three pursuers had arrived. One tried to jump the fence and his feet tripped and he fell with a thud. A second attempted to crawl under the lower wire and his clothing had be come entangled. "Don't you interfere with that boy or you'll be liable to the law!" he shouted at Burt. The latter paid no attention to the threat. He sprang to the pilot seat. Chug-chug-whirr! and the biplane went aloft like an arrow. The dismayed and chagrined men below vainly vented their wrath on the rescuer who had baffled them. The little fellow sat spellbound with delight at- the rare sensation of an air flight he had never dreamed of. For the first time in his life Ralph Burt had found his mind Invested with real human interest. It elevated him. An actor in an exciting and unusual circumstance, he was eager to learn what lay behind the strange incident of the hour. Soon he knew all about it, for when the biplane landed on home ground he took his passenger Into his library and questioned him. It came out that he and his sister, Eleanor, were practically prisoners in the power of one of his three pursuers, Giles Warden. Fearing foul play, the sister had that day given him the will of her dead father, with the injunction to place it In the hands of some law yer for safety and action. Hence the pursuit. "Righting a wrong-quite heroic!" commented Burt's lawyer, when he was made aware of the facts In the case. "Why, your new experience has made you look like a new man. I'll soon have this affair straightened out." It was with a good deal of surprise that Ralph met "Sister Eleanor" a week later. He had supposed her to be a little girl. Instead, confusedly, he listened to the ardent thanks of a beautiful young lady. "You have saved Miss Morley from captivity and the loss of her fortune," advised the lawyer. "She may con tinue to need a friend." Day by day Ralph Burt's heart warmed to new impulses. There came a finality presaging lasting con tentment. It was when Eleanor bo-, came something mora than a friend- / bia wife.
