Professor Henry, in "Feeds and Feeding," says:—''When feeding corn to pigs as the exclusive ration, the writer observed a strong craving by the pigs for wood aslii's, considerable quantities of wliich were consumed, if opportunity offered." Were the ashes a benefit to the pigs or not? To answer this question, three experiments 'were conducted. In each trial six pigs, all of one litter, were used, th.fi animals being from 105 to 182 days old when the feeding began. The result of the test showed that where ashes were fed '49.11b of corameal made 1001b gain. The test also showed that the ashes made strong bones, it taking a pressure of 58Mb to break the thigh bone of the one fed on ashes, whereas 3011b broke the thigh bone of the one which received no ashes. The test included bone meal on one lot, ashes on another, and the third lot did not receive either. The bone meal and ashes had virtually the same result, showing that the ashes were as good as the bone meal. Ladies everywhere are getting thoroughly roused to the great importance of wearing only Warner's easy-fitting rustproof corsets.—Advt.
