Hog Breeding.

The hog is subject to remarkable
changes of form and character, according
TO the situations in which he is placed.
When these characters assume certain de-
gree of permanence, breed or variety is
formed; and there is none of the domesti-
Gated animals which more easily receives
the characters we desire to impress upon
it. This arises from its rapid powers of
increase, and the constancy with which the
characters of the parents are reproduced in
the progeny. There is no kind of live
stock that can be so easily improved by the
breeder, and so quickly suited to the pur-
pose required. And the same characters
of external form indicate in the hog a dis
position to arrive at early maturity of mus
Gle and fairness, as i'm the OK and sheep.
The body is large in proportion to the
limbs, or, in other words, the limbs are
short in proportion to the body; the cx-
tremities are free from coarseness, the
chest is broad, and the trunk round. Poss-
essing these characters, the hog never fails
to arrive at earlier maturity, and with a
smaller consumption of food, than when
he possesses different conformation

A Lady Carries a Needle i'm Her Body
Twenty-Five Years.

About twenty-five years ago lady, now
living in Mt. Vernon, accidentally swal-
lowed needle. She experienced no seri-
Gus results from it at the time, and in the
course of events the circumstance became
almost forgotten, except at intervals,
when as she states, ticklish, crawling
sensation in her right side. near the stom-
ach, was felt. The sensation. as time adj
vanced, changed localities, gradually work
ing its way downwards. Still there was
no serious pain attending the changes
from one locality of the body to another.
She, in company with her husband, at
tended the late fair i'm st. Louis, and while
there walked about considerably. On the
list day of their sojourn in st. Louis, the
old crawling sensation manifested itself
near the knees, and it soon became very
painfnl-so much so indeed that she found
it necessary to take car TO get to her hotel
as soon as possible. The pain continued
with increasing severity. and as soon as
possible she was brought home-suffering
all the time the most intense agony. Ar
irving at home, physician was called,
who was at first somewhat puzzled as to
the real cause of the difficulty. He did not
believe that it was ''rising,' as had been

Select the Breeding Stock.

The season for fattening and marketing
our poultry is upon us, and a word to
farmers now is i'm order i'm reference to
saving the best for the reproduction of flu
ture flocks. The customary method is to
pen and fatten the largest and best devel-
oped first, and to continue the process as
long as any are left to be marketed, thus
leaving the cuttings of the whole years
production to reproduce the focks of the
succeeding year. This Is not the universal
practice, but it Is much too common.
Farmers in this exhibit lack of gumption.
While few would be willing to breed stock
of any other kind from their poorest speci-
mems. there seems to be an indifference on
this point which Is little short of foolish
ness. The proper way to proceed is to fix
in the mind type or ideal form of what
first-class market fowl should be, and then
work up to it. The way to form your
ideal is to study the subject. Examine
improved breeds attend poultry shows,
not for the novelty of the thing, but for in
formation; visit the yards of fanciers and
amateurs; and above all, study the defects
of your own flock, and how to eradicate
them. Mark large number of the earliest
and best of the whole flock. Fatten and
market the poorest first, after this begin to
Wtcu OuL lTOll tllOSc lildt nave Dttn 1nsuk-
ed, leaving only those that come nearest
your type of standard. All leggy, scraggy,
or ill-shaped specimens are to be marketed.
and only the best saved for breeding pur-
poses.
A good market fowl should have a small
bone, plump round body, as great width
and depth of breast as possible. 1t should
stand firm on its legs, which should be
moderately Shorthand well apart; the more
weight of carcass there is in front of the
leg the better. The English Gray Dorking
| is perhaps the nearest approach to the
ideal table bird; but like many other
ideals, it is difficult to realize with us. The
Houdon of the French, and the Plymouth
Rock of our own New-England. both of
which have Dorking blood in them, are
our best acclimated breeds for table use.
The Plymouth Rock fowl will in time be-
come rs famous with us as the Dorking is
in England. Here is hint that farmers
may elaborate for themselves. If they will
begin this year to select their breeding
stock. the Improvement will be so obvious
that it will be continued from year to year
with ever-increasing advantage.-A. NJ. d.,
