Berkshire Swine

From the ArH uItgTal EFitami.
The Berkshire breed Of swine hold
very important place amongst swine
breeders fsvorites, and more of the
blood of this breed is seen. either
pure or admixed with that of COM
mon animals, than any other. Nine
tenths Of the droves of porkers
which arrive in our large cities. from
the West and elsewhere, for sale for
food, are largely Berkshire, which
fact attests to their popularity
amongst those who breed for sale and
profit. Nearly all of the pure. bred
Berkshires We have In this country
are OF the medium or small type tho
some some few breeders are essayinu
type OF much larger kind, which
will not, however, be generally liked
or sought after. What swine breed.

as one which is compactly made, with
the greatest amount or weight Of de
sirable and valuable parts, as hams,
shoulders, chine and jowls, and the
smallest amount Of oiTalls or undesir-
able parts, as, legs, feet, nose, ears,
etc. The Improved Berkshire, in its
greatest excellence, fills The bill" to

A Sensible, Conservative View OF
the Bnsilage Question.

DIR. Dekie, in Philadslphia Prsu.
There are advantages enough in
the silo TO warrant the dairy farmer
in looking carefully into the subject.
More provender can be preserved,
and by the aid of ensilage much
more stock can be subsisted on
given amount of land than by the
ordinary methods. But the same is
true of soiling, and by combination
of the two the Eastern farmer is put
upon a nearly equal footing with the
Western dairyman.
But on the other hand, il costs as
much to construct and run a silo sue
cessfully as TO build and run a mill
or a factory, and only the fore-handed
farmer, or the land owner who is
also a capitalist, will make success
of silo-at least, as a subject is at
present understood. \ boiler and
steam engine are necessary To run
silo properly. But much more can
be done with the steam power on the
fnrm than merely to cut ensiIage.
Threshing may be done, feed ground,
wood sawed, water pumped, green.
house or poultry house heated, corn
shelIed, fruit evaporated, and other
things can be done with boiler and
engine when hepGoper appliances are
furnished. The silo also implies a
cutting machine, which is expensive,
and is of no great use for other pur.
poscs-at least, all other feed can be
chatIed on less expensive cutter
than the elaborate ones supposed 10
be necessary TO cut Cnsilage. But
aside from the expense of silos and
the accompanying requisites TO the
best results, such operations on the
farm require brains behind them. II

or civil engineers, or even good, level

ments would come TO the farm "a a

age these adiuncts to farming are
not AS plenty as blackberries, hence
the ordinary farmer must cultivate
his capacity 10 manage bis business
10 the best advantage. The careful
study OF the silo matter NAV assist
the obseryent farmer TO better things.
1t is not necessary, or even adyisa.
BILE, TO 90 into the silo business ex-
tensively at first. 1t may better be
tried in tentative way to determine
its value. A pit ten or twelve feet
long, ten feet wide and eight 10
twelve feet deep, need not cost a
great sum, and may be so placed that
it will serve some other purpose il.
as silo, it does not meet the build
eT's expectations. II may be built
adjoining the cambridge and the
barn, connecting with the stable by
a door on level with the stable floor.
4 silo Of this kind can be filled with
out the aid Of n steam engine and an
expensive cutter. Ensilage NAV thus
be given a trial and its value determ
ined by experts, and if the expert.
ment warrants further inventment it
may afterward be made. On the
contrary, ii it is not satisfactory. the
silo may he converted into root
cellar, a bin for the storage Of cut
fodder, or a cistern to hold water and
thus utilized. There are objections
that may be fairly urged against
the silo, and some of these NAV be
stated at another time.

the animal should not be bred under
six months old. In most things the

in regards to shape, a. we prefer, for
breeding purposes, one which is large

In the first place, seed corn should
be gathered from the field so soon as
the earliest and best ears are fairly
out Of milk. This can be done late
in August or early in September.
Then dry it out thoroughly in the
sun. DO not for a moment imagine
that it is best 10 hang it up or lay it
away in the shade. There is nothing
equal, in giving vitality or preparing
it TO stand the terrible freezing Of
our winters, TO sunshine. When the

iiy next spring. And the same pro-
cess will perfect and preserve all
kinds Of seeds and grain.

lN August of last year the Ohio
State Board of Agriculture made and
published an estimate Of the total
crop Of wheat, then just harvested in
the State. On the 18th of last month.
just one year later, the assessors re-
turns, based upon returns made by
township assessors, by inquiry ofeach
farmer in every township, and report
ed through county auditors, were re.
ceived. The difference between the
estimate" made by the Board but
three weeks after the threshine be-
gan, and the actual figures given by
the assessors, was less than one
fourth Of one per cent. Pretty close
work. A system of cooperation. in
the matter Of gathering statistics BE-.
tween the agricultural boards of the
several States and the Department NJ
Washington, has recently been in.
augurated, and 1t is quite within the
bonds OF reason to predict that in
time the great degree of accuracy ex.
hibited by the Ohio Board in esti.
mating in advance the crops of the
State viii be nearly approached in
the much broader field of The whole
