FORAGE FOR HOGS.

Good Pastore and Grain Ration Most Profitable for Pork Production in Northern States. To make hog production the most (profitable the farmer should provide pasture for hjs hogs whenever possible. "The earii'er in the year green feed can be supplied the better. Swine of any age relish green feed, • and its use always reduces the cost -Of producing-gains on hogs. In addition, it keeps? the animals, in good thrifty condition. The information given in this article, however, applies only to the northern part of the United States, particularly those .states and sections of states ~ lying north of parallel 39 degrees. The best crops to seed in early spring are wheat, oats, rye, barley, rape, Canadian field peas and vetch. .Any of the cereals do well planted singly or in combination with rape, Canadian peas and vetch. -- in certain sections, where these crops will survive the winter, they can be sown the previous fall. In sections where it is impossible to maintain a stand over winter, the clops mentioned can be sown in early spring as soon as the ground is fit. The pigs should be turned in to pasture the cereal crops when the plants attain a height of about six or eight inches, and taken off when the plants reach such a height that the pigs begin to spit the chewed material from their mouths. This is because the percentage of crude fiber, the indigestible part of the plant, increases rapidly as the plants grow larger. Green wheat, oats, ryeand barley are generally classified as carbonaceous roughages. When young, however, these.contain a High percentage of protein and should be classified as . nitrogenous roughages in the early stages of growth. Because the small grains when young

are so nutritious and are green when frost has killed clover, they are ideal plants to grow for pigs during late fall and early spring. Canadian field peas when sown in conjunction with some other kind of grain (oats, rye, etc.) make an excellent early crop for hogs. The seed should be sown in April or early May, and if conditions are right -he crop will be ready to pasture in about 30 or 40 days. Hogs clean up the peas and vines very well. The vines that are left on the ground, together with the manure, enrich the soil and add more humus to it. The great value of peas as a pasture for swine is far too little understood. Hairy vetch is a legume of increasing importance, especially as a forage for hogs. It flourishes to a surprising degree in Washington, Oregon and the Southern states. The seed should be sown in the fall with rye or oats. October is the best month in which to plant this crop. When the winters are too severe, vetch is not generally grown. It

How Two Men Cured LaGrippe

“Last winter I suffered with a terrible cold and a case of la grippe,” •writes E. C. Rhodes of Middleton, Ga “When getting well of la gripped still had a hacking cough and for several months could get no relief. Finally I began .taking Foley’s Honey and Tar and soon I was well of both cough and cold and it never returned.” F. G. Prevo, Bedford, Ind., writes: After having an attack of la grippe it left me with a severe cough and I tried everything. I lost in weight and got so thin |t looked as though I would never get well. I tried Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound and two bottles cured me, I am now well and back to normal weight.” Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound Is a healing family remedy and seldom fails to relieve coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, raw and inflamed throat, tight and sore chest, irritated tickling throat and bronchial coughs.

THE MOVING SPIRIT OF MOTOR RACING IN U. S.

From Miami, Florida, where he hat been recuperating, Carl G. Fisher, the moving spirit of all motor racing in the United States, has returned to Indianapolis to throw his influence in the balance in preparation for the Sixth Annual International Sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. Fisher is president of this track, and is credited with being the originator and promotor of most of the new and improved features of automobile speed contests in this country. The story of Fisher’s life is more exciting and thrilling than fiction. His meteoric rise by his own efforts has made him not only a captain of industry, but is one cf the country’s greatest sportsman. His ambition behind the Indianapolis Speedway is even greater than to merely entertain. He sees in this track a school for all automobile engineers, and these car builders willingly credit Fisher with having furnished the way for improved constructions in many instances.

Succeeds wherever Canadian field peas do well, but the field peas are usually preferable. Rape as a forage crop is highly recommended for hogs | henever it can be grown successfully, it should not be planted in the fall of the year with the expectation of its surviving the winter. In most localities'it is best to sow rape in April or May. If there is enough moisture in the soil to germinate the seed, it is generally ready to pasture in about six w eeks. When pigs are put on rape, it generally takes them some time before they acquire a taste for it. Young pigs do not make as good use of rape pasture as older ones. The hogs should not be turned on the rape until the plants are at least 10 inches high. Rape is a very satisfactory forage plant for hogs, because it grows rapidly and is a cheap green feed.

While the cost of producing pork may be reduced by the use of green feed, it is desirable to feed grain in addition. There is no time that grain can be so profitably fed to a hog as when he is young and running on pasture. Under such conditions, it is possible to secure 15 pounds of gain for each bushel of grain fed. During the spring, and early fall months from one-half to three-fourths of a full feed of grain will be sufficient for . hogs running on pasture.—-Weekly News Letter, I’. S.

MURPHY RESIGNATION SOLICITED IS REPORT

Ralston Declared to Have Acted on Statement That Commissioner Suggested Change in Attorneys. - Indianapolis, April 13.—-Reports that became current Tuesday indicated that Charles J. Murphy did not resign voluntarily from the public service commission. Governor Ralston re mailed s i lent on the su b j ect, however, and Mr. Murphy declined to discuss the mat er further than to repeat that business reasons prompt'd his resignation and that he did not quit the commission by request. Complaint was made to the governor about five weeks ago, it developed Tuesday, by representatives of the Merchants Heat and Light company, 1 which has had several propositions up for consideration by the service commission, that Commissioner Murphy had suggested to A• W. Higgins, general manager of the ulitiy, that the company ought to displace its attorney, J. w. Fesler, with the law firm of Ryan & Ruckelshaus. Mr. Murphy, according to reports, suggested that the company's present attorney could not make progress with his cases pending before the commission. It is reported that Governor Ralston, at a conference held at his home about three weeks ago. suggested to Mr. Murphy that he ought to resign. While Mr. Murphy stands pat on his first statement, that he is resigning because of a demand on his time by his private business interests, including a new venture, the nature of which is not disclosed at this time, his friends, while not admitting that his resignation was forced, say that the Fesler matter probably had an influence on Mr. Murphy in deciding to leave the commission at this particular time. The story goes that the governor had an interview with Mr. Murphy soon after he had received a verbal complaint from the representatives! of the .Merchants company and that this' was followed by friends of Mr. Murphy, including the heads of several public utilities, making an appeal to the Merchants company to withdraw its charges and drop the matter entirely. It is known that Mr. Fesler has had repeated conferences with the governor within the last four or five weeks, but Mr. Fesler declined Tuesday evening to discuss any phase of the Murphy resignation.

ST. PETER AND CORNELIUS THE GENTILE

Arts 16:1-16. 3J-jB- April 16. Cornelius, the First Gentile Convert to Christianity —Beginning of a New Dispensation—Expiration of Israel’s "Seventy Weeks” of Exclusive Divine Favo- —St. Peter’s Vision. • Thfrr is no distinction between Jew and I, for the same Lord t? Lord of all, ami is rich unto all that call upon Him. 9 * Romann 10:12. CoExELH'S. the Roman centurion, was evidently converted to God and righteousness years prior to the incident which forms today's Study. Although devout, he was not a Jew. and realized that he was outside the pale of Divine favor; for Israel was the only nation in covenant relationship with God. (Amos 3:2;) Perhaps he had heard of Jesus, and was perplexed on this subject. Perhaps this led him to the earnest prayers which the Lord saw fit to answer in a miraculous manner. sending an angel to assure Cornelius that his prayers and his alms were appreciated of the Lord.

The angel intimated that something further than prayers and good deeds was necessary; but he was not commissioned to tell the additional requirements. Instead, he instructed Cornelius to send to Joppa for the Apostle Peter, who would tell him what to do. The centurion’s readiness of mind is shown by his prompt obedience. He hot only prayed, but cooperated with God in its answering. Meantime. St Peter, with all the prejudices belonging to the Jews for centuries, must be prepared to receive this first Gentile to be brought into the Church. This was done by means of a vision. Consequently St. Peter, with six brethren from Joppa, came promptly to the centurion's home on the following day—“doubting nothing”; for evidently the Lord was leading him in this matter. Of all the Apostles he was the best one for this work, because of his impetuous disposition and his zeal to follow the Lord's directions quickly and heartily, and because. he being the oldest Apostle and in many respects the most influential, his course would have the greater weight with the others.—Acts 15:6-12. It is difficult for us to conceive the Jewish prejudice against any thought that the Gentiles would be fellow-heirs with them in the Abrahamic Promise.

For centuries it hail been considered a settled matter that Divine favor could not possibly go outside of Israel to other nations, in the sense of making the Gentiles equally acceptable to God. Their views were based upon God's Promise to A bra-

ham (Genesis 22:15-18). and upon the fact that Israelites were not permitted to have general dealings with Gentiles or to intermarry with them. Furthermore. the Jewish religious rulers had gone further and had exaggerated to some extent these differences. But now a new dispensation had come. Israel’s “seventy weeks” of special favor had expired; and the Lord began to extend His favor to the Gentiles.—Daniel 9:24. The Gospel Preached to Gentiles. On arriving at the house. St. Peter found assembled there a congregation of earnest. God-fearing Gentiles, and asked tlie pointed question. “For what intent have ye sent for me?” Cornelius then related something of his past experience, his desire for fellowship with God. his endeavor to live a godly life, the vision which he had seen; and bis expectancy that he would hear from St. Peter what had been promised him. Cornelius was not saved by his almsgiving, nor by his prayers, nor yet by the Apostle's Message. But that Message explained matters, and enabled Cornelius and his household to grasp by faith the great redemption in Christ Jesus—and thus to be saved. We note with keen interest the Apostle's preaching, that we may Clearly discern the life-giving Message from which Cornelius and bis associates de-

Cornelius and his household had been uniting tor just such a Message of Divine grace, and accepted Jesus as their Savior quickly and gladly. But St. Peter had not fully grasped the situation, and therefore did not suggest baptism until the Holy Spirit fell upon them and they magnified God without the laying on of hands—in the same manner that it Was bestowed upon the Jewish Assembly at Pentecost.

THE HISTORY OF GASOLINE

At One Time It Was Infant Terror of the Oil Industry. Gasoline first compelled public attention in the role of the little demon in the kerosene or coal oil lamp. In this capacity it kept the corpner and the insurance adjuster working overtime. When crude oil was first discovered in the Pennsylvania district the public received it as a cure-all for diseases instead of fuel or an illuniinant. Then it was discovered that by subjecting it to distillation a certain portion of it could be used for lighting purposes, to supplant candles and lamps, using whale oil and vegetable oils. But it was found that a considerable fraction—about 20 per cent—of this oil had so low a boiling point, was so volatile and explosive, that it was extremely dangerous in lamps. At the sign of the coal oil lamp of that pioneer period fires and explosions were the prevailing program.

It was soon seen by the refiners that, if kerosene was to become a popular illuminanf, the “light boiling point fraction” must be taken off the top and disposed of in some other way. For a considerable time it was turned into the nearest streams and allowed to dispose of itself by evaporation; but experience proved that this was a decidedly dangerous method of disposal. The refiners were forced to recognize the fact that in some way they must find a legitimate commercial outlet for this volatile fluid, which was so explosive that it could not be dump-* ed without great peril to life and property. Under the pressure of this economic necessity, about 1875, a man named Hull; who was in touch with The Cleveland refineries, invented a vapor stove, which was the father of the gasoline stove of today. For a time this furnisjhed a very considerable outlet. A .considerable quantity of gasoline was also consumed at this period in street lamps and out-of-doors lighting systems. About 1 903 the motor car, with its internal combustion engine, appeared on the scene—-just in time to

By J. W. Ratekin

rescue gasoline consumption from a decided setback, due to the fact that gas had come into general use for lighting and 1 heating purposes and was able, on account of its greater cheapness and safety, to push gasoline out of competition to a great extent. Gasoline has, in short, pushed King Kerosene from the throne. The outcast, the infant terror of the oil industry, has now become the czar of the whole empire of petroleum commerce, and there are few who do not pause at the sign of the garage pump to pay him tribute.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
