The cattle range is finer now than
was ever known before. Cattle Is

our people cannot be induced to devote
more time and means to the raising
Of stock. Farmers work hard for
months trying to kill the grass, when
if the grass was permitted to grow
and was fed to stock. it would be more
profitable than the mouse-eared cotton
they are laboring SO hard to ptotect.
Cattle and grass will always secure a

She looked up when they questioned

PIGS.
Tho Kind of Animals Ohe should Select
to Secure the Best Quality of Pork.


Tho Kind of Animals ohe should selee.
to Secure the Best Quality of Pork.
If you prefer to have the pig farrowed
in the spring, you can, by judieious
selection, procure greater quantity Of
pork in proportion to food consumed
than by keeping fall pigs through the
winter. The first point to notice in a
pig is its face. The shorter and more
dished the face the better In fact, we
venture to say that a pig with broad,
dished face will be found good in every
other quality. He will fatten On a
small proportion of food, and will re-
main quiet and easy in his pen. He
will come up to the trough, eat all he
desires, and 60 to his corner to digest
it, which will be done quickly, when he
will again come forward for his meal to
eat quietly and retire. He will not be a
squealer, nor run mad over his feed,
but will be quiet and easy in all his
movements. so much in favor of the
face alone, which indicates excellence
In the habits and general characteristics
of the animal. When the pig is some
what advanced in growth it should be
noticed that his hair is soft. A good
pig has no bristles, but the body is COW
cred with hair, and the finer the hair
the better. Now examine the pig
for fineness of bone. You do not want a
coarse, heavy-limbed hog, such as
denotes offal. Small bones and short
legs mot too SHORTY are desirable. He
should be broad across the chest, with
ribs well sprung and wide, the neck
being short, and the back level and fiat.
The hams should be full and prominent,
setting well to the rear, the body pre-
senting when viewed from the front a
broad form, but when viewed from the
rear square appearance. That is, he
should seem long in body but his breast
and rear parts (across the hams) should
look fiat, as an old maxim is that a box
two-thirds as wide as it is long should
fit him exactly. The ears should be
small and well set on, while even the
tail should be fine, long and tapering.
BY thus noticing the form it matters
little what the breed may be, but such
points do not exist with scrubs. The
color is of no consequence, though some
maintain that black hogs do not blister
in the sun, but we have found white
hogs to thrive and do well in all see
tons. When dressed the black hogs
make white carcasses, provided the
hair is completely taken off by scalding.
If shaved with knife, however, dark
spots will be indicated. We do not wish
to state how the pig should be fed, the
object being to give information in re-
gard to selection. The points are
dished, short face; small bone; promi-
nent hams; long body; broad deep
chest; plenty of stomach; soft hair; and
long square shape. But, as we stated,
the most desirable point is the dished
face, as such hog is usually good in
all other respects.-Field, Farm and

AT THE WINDOW.
Grandma Tells How She Once Saved the
Life of Caribou.

Life of Caribou.
I'D like to hear story" said Ava,
siding up to grandma S chair one morn
ing; for cause it's showing, and my
foots are cold, and don't want to be
dressed" Grandma laughed at that.
You see, Ava was always wanting to
hear story for cause" of one thing
or another And grandma almost al
ways had a story to tell. This time she
cuddled Ava up in her lap, red flannel
nightie and all, and held out the two
cold little feet to the fire.
"A good many years ago there lived
little lame girl named Marcella"
"Oh," said Ava; "a lame little girl,
gram'ma?"
Yes, said grandma lone winter
she was so lame that she hardly took a
step without crutches, and for a long
time she didn't walk at all She had to
be carried to the table, and to bed, and
to the window, where she used to sit for
hours and hours, and very often she
cried, softly, so nobody would hear,
because the doctor had said he didn't
think she would ever walk in all her
life again"
"Oh dear!" whispered Ava. Don't
tell teary things, gram MAJ
But one day went on grandma,
''while the little girl was sitting at the
window looking out across the field,
where wheat had grown in the summer,
to the tall trees loaded with snow,
something happened. Out from among
the trees came a pretty creature, very
much like deer, though the little girl
had never seen deer then, so she
didn't know. 1t had branching horns
and a short tail and reddish-gray hair,
and it wasn't much larger than a half
grown calf.
The little girl scarcely dared to
breathe for fear of frightening it
away. She watched it lift its head and
sniff the air, and finally came out in the
wheat-feld and began to paw the snow
away, and eat the wheat-stubble.
'What fun it was! Marcella didn't
cry tear all that day, not even after
the little creature had gone away.
81 know it'll come again to-mor-
row. said she, 'and then III show it to
mother But she didn't tell anybody a
word about it then; it was so nice to
have a secret!
The caribou, for it was caribou,
which is kind of deer, you know, did
come again next day. Somebody else
came, too. 1t was Nj Bangs, the near
est neighbor. Marcella saw him creep
ing along with his gun. Oh dear!
dear!
" He mustn't! cried Marcella. 4
cant have that little dear darling killed!
| ca-an't!'
80 she pushed the window up and
put out her head and waved her hands.
" Run! run! run! she screamed.
Oh, runi''
1.-The caribou lifted its head and
turned with long, frightened leaps, into
the woods. Mr.. Bangs fired his gun,
but it dn't do a bit of good. And
Mr. Bangs was provoked enough. But
Maraella was very glad indeed"
That NICE said Ava. WAS the
little girl lame all the time forever,
