The Flesh OF the Improved Hog.

The Flesh OF the Improved Hog.
National Live Stock Journal.
Swine breeders have not DC fiji GENTLY
borne In mind the variation In the
amount of lean meat found In the
carcarses of different hogs, The
Berkshire is universally credited with
having more lean than any other
breed; but even Berkshires vary In
this regard, az do all other classes Of
swine. Hence, by closely scanning
the outIup carcasses, giving preferences
to certain families showing liberal
presence of muscular substance, these
to be used a. breeders, the relative
quantity Of lean could bs increased In
any family or breed. 1t 10 we'll known
that some hogs, when reduced to On
impoverished state, are really very
thin, ~ the term Ia understood, while
others have as mesger an amount Of
fat as the thinnest, yet have greater
fullness of all the parts, and under no
circumstances do they become so
lean In appearance as the others.
This difference IL owing entirely to
the greater slzs of the muscle - the
motives parts--and this difference Ia
invariably shown In the out-up meat.
SO it will be seen that there are two
modes Of making q very correct esti-
mate of this peculiar difference In
swine-by comparing animals that are,
go far az we are able to judge, alike
reduced, then again scanning the fat
carcasses as they lay side by side npon
the block.

Morning on tho Mississippi-An

lent OF the Floods.
"Svept Away" by Edward S. Ellis In 81. Mich.
olS for June.
At last II began to grow light In the
direction of the Mississippi shore, and
presently the beams of the rining
sun Illuminated the vast waste OF
waters.
The scene presented to the gaze was
one of desolation indeed. Iu every
direction the .urbid current bounded
the horizon. For all Que could see to
the contrary, the cabin might have
been fl batting over the waters Of the
Gulf of Mexico, or even In the very
center Ct the Atlantic itself. Nowhere
could the strainlng eye cstoh the frs,
glimpse of land; even the towering
bluffs along the shore were under
water.
A long distance to the westward wal
q group of cabins floating downward
together, looking a much as anything
like q flock of crows sailing across the
sky. They undoubtedly had once
composed a village Oh town, the build
ings Of which had atarted fer the gull
with singular unsnimity. People
could be plainly seen on the roofs. Or
one o number Of mules and COWS were
grouped, while from several Others
smoke was rising, showing that the 90
cupants had rugged up some sort o.
cooking arrangements.
To the eastward we're six or eight
other cabins, the most of which haG
people on top-all negroes. The near
est house seemed to have fully Q
d,zsn. A FIRE was burning, and while
n = q large, fat negresu, with q rec
handkerchief tied about her head
was preparing the best breakfast shG
could uader tho circumstances, the
others were singing and dancing 81
they used to on the old plantations be
fore the war.
There were musical voicss amonf
them, which came fl floating pleasantly
across the water, and altogether ths
scene was a strange one. B9tweec
each verse, a couple of bsrefootet
darkeys, wearing Immense Tapping
straw hats, danced a "doubls.shuf1s )
with tremendous vigor, while tn,
brethren and sisters sang and swayec
their bodies by way of accompani
ment, even the cock, forgetting hel
culinary duties Tor the moment, join,
ing In the chorus. 1t seemed a
though there might be danger of the
whole of them breaking through tn,
roof; but 1t Is doubtful If even tn,
certainty Of such q catastrophe woult
have checked the negroes when ono
they were fairly launched upon tn
food tide of their song.

SPECIAL CROPS.

To succeed in special crops requires
higher intelligence than it does to succeed
in mixed crops, and because of this ne who
possesses that higher intelligence will make
money easier by special than by mixed
crops. 1t is important that he who thinks
of growing special crops shouldfully realize
the fact, that because his neighbor can make
money growing any particular crop, it is but
little evidence that he can. Before far
mer decides to rely on any special crop, ne
should first consider his location, the condi-
ton of his farm, the character of the soil,
and, most important of all, he should criti-
cally examine himself, that he may decide
what crops are adapted to his farm, and are
not beyond his capacity. considering
every point bearing upon the subject, and
deciding what crops are best adapted to the
various conditions, small fields should be
planted at first, and every effort made TO
learn everything possible relating to the
particular crop that is to be grown: lie who
rushes into growing any special crop be-,
cause he sees others make large profits, VIII
be very likely to make a failure, and be
yery clad to 90 back to mixed Gro ps as the
most profitable but he who goes in eau
tiously and makes himself familiar with all
conditions necessary for success, will be very
likely to realize more profit than by mixed
husbandry. There are several reasons why
he will do so. Prominent among them may
be mentioned the fact that if he has selected
the right crop, one that he takes an interest
in, he will make himself so thoroughly IA
miliar with all of the details that he will
make no false steps. The farmer who fol
lows mixed farming, and sells dozen diff
;,,fn arly wit
them in as good condition as those who
make speciality of some one of them ;
therefore, cannot realize so high prices, and
| in growing them he will not be likely to
have all of the tools that are we'll adapted to
work, as he would be very likely to if he de-
voted his time principally to one crop.
But there is another side to this question
that should not be overlooked. The farmer
who confines himself principally to one crop
runs the risk of losing his whole labor in an
unfavorable season, while the farmer who
has a great variety of crops will be very
likely to have some good ones. a careful
examination of the whole subject seems to
lead to the conclusion that the growing OF
special crops, to be successful, requires a
higher intelligence than mixed crops, and
that while in good season the profits will
be likely to be much larger, in All unfavora-
BILE season they will be smaller. Thus the
risk with special crops is more than with
mixed, but the average will be lighter, pro.
vided the conditions are all favorable II
they are not favorable no one should think
of confning his labors to one crop; too many
have already made expensive mistakes by
trying to grow extensively some particular
crop on land not adapted to it, ora crop that
they did not understand the best methods
of cultivating and Observation-Disclosures
