rHE RERKsHIRE HOG.

{ ,
THE BERKSHIRE HOG.
In speaking of this breed the,
american Agriculturist says:
No breed of pigs have ever been
raised in this country which has met
with such universal favor as the
Berks. Americans are good judges
of pork in all its various forms, and
the pig has an important place on
all our farms. Wherever farming is
conducted on money-making prinei-
pies, with business snap and push,
the improved breeds find their was.
We have found that the Berkshire
improves all other breeds. Crossed
with gaunt acorn eaters and root
grubbers of the woods, their progeny
proves scarcely less good at foraging
for their own living, while they are
larger, quicker growing, easier kept,
and have larger hams and sides of
bacon, while the fine flavor of the
semi-wlld dams remains. Crossed
with common pigs, the Improvement
is great. Crossed upon large sows
of such breeds as the Reds, Chester
Whites, large Yorks and ''Cheshires"
so-calIed, the fine qualities OF the
Berkshire predominant in pigs-the
full hams, the intermingling of fat
and lean, and the moderately thin
hide, rapidity of growth, great vigor,
and size fully equal to their dams.
Our breeders have. it seems never
favored particularly the very large
Berkshire. They are not so good
for the use We have for the males,
namely, crossing with lower grade
of swine. Still, tendency to breed
small and fine would be a mistake.
This breed is naturally large one,
and should be maintained of at least
medium size. Within the memory
of the writer, the characters of Berk
sheirs have greatly changed. White
fecks, splashes, and even large spots
were not only admissible, but almost
universal, and red hairs aud spots
were often seen on excellent animals.
They had, as rule, much more
white than Poland Chinas nowadays.
The size of the exhibition pig has
diminished considerably, at least at
the East. The fact is, there are bet
ter formed breeds than the Berkshire,
but none that combine such rare ex-
cellence of flesh with superior form,
surong constitution, and great pre-
potency in imparting especially a fine
quality of flesh to its offspring, to-
gether with rapid growth and rea-
sonable economy in feeding. We
think that packers can afford to pay
more for pigs having a Berkshire
cross than for any other on account
of the quality of the hams and bacon.
This is also the general opinion OF
the trade, and numerous resolutions
of breeders and packers associations
have been passed to the effect, from
time to time. In this connection il
is we'll to bear in mind that Poland-
China breed owes it's good qualities
chiefly to the Berkshire, which it sc
much resembles in color, texture Of
hair, length, size OF him, and perhaps
other points. Some families rur
larger than others, yet we have neve
known family in which there was
not such diversity of size that
large and small groups might not b.
made from it and, by selection, bret
so as to confirm each type.

FARM HINTS FOR JANUARY

Probably every farmer can see, as
he reviews the work Of last year,
where he might have managed some
parts of his business in such o MAIL
ner as to have saved time, labor and
other expenses, or how he might
have achieved greater results. The
long Winter evenings afford good
opportunity for such review and the
recording of such impressions. If he
has kept diary or journal of his
work during the past year it should
reveal TO him the cause and suggest
the remedy for many q bit of bad
luck. 1t should also show him
wherein he has been able to do better
than in other seasons, and to what
particular bit of good management
he may attribute any unusual degree
of success. If he has not kept such
record, let him ransack his men,
DRY for such important facts as may
suggest themselves as having con-
tributed largely to his success or
failure in his undertaking, and make
Il note of them. If he has to put it
down in black and white that val
liable animal has been lost through
some accident that might be avoided
by an hour labor, or the exercise
of little care at the proper time !:
that one crop was failure because
the seed was not good, and that an
other was put in too early or too late
TO obtain best results that q day or
more was lost in a busy season of
the year through the breaking of a
machine which ought to have been
put in perfect order when there was
plenty of leisure to have done so, it
may give additional force to his
resolution to do better in the future
Each farmer should take an inven-
tory of his worldly possessions upon
the beginning Of the year, and know
just how he stands in the world. Do
not over-estimate the value of the
animals or the tools, nor the amount
of hay, grain or produce on hand.
There is no reason Why there should
not be an annual "taking an account
of stock on hand" on the farm as
much as ia the factory, and it will
serve the same purpose. The i'm
portancc or knowing whether the
past year has been successful one
or net should be as great to the farm
er as TO the merchant or manufact-
urer. Having completed this, the
next thing should be the opening of
an account with each department of
his business. If such an account
should be kept for few years, il
wonid serve to show whence comes
income aud where 90 the outgoes
upon the farm. Does the value OF
the hay, and grain fed to The cows
exceed the value of the milk, butter
and cheese sold? Do the sheep pay
for their keeping? How much money
has been made or lost upon the poul-
tfys Did the potato crop pay for Tho
manure, labor and seed expended
upon it? Can corn be grown cheapel

that statistics are essential to the economical

which have been most carefully drawn up and
which will be read with interest in every part of

The defeat of Mr. Gladstone's Home
Rule Bill was foregone conclusion. Any
bill, framed on the basis which his was,
will be defeated. Home Rule, as it is
called, which after all, means State Rights,
as known in the United States, ireland
undoubtedly will have. Gladstone's bill
however, would have sunk Ireland into the
position of Territory rather than State
What Ireland wants is to manage her own
internal affairs her own way, and that she
certainly ought to be able to do. But she
cannot want to have no voice in the I'm
perial Government. 1t is Just this point
which has made number Of the most
thoughtful Liberals vote as they have done
A more carefully drawn bill, freed from
the crudities and party feeling which the
lately defeated bill contains, will meet
with support, not only from the Liberal
party, but from many of the Conserva-
tives.
The misfortune is that party spirit and
religious rancor are SO strongly called
forth on both sides of the question. that a
large bulk of the minds engaged, view the
matter through colored spectacles. The
news from the Coast will be looked for with
eager interest. Parliament was to have
dissolved yesterday, decisive news will only

NOTES.

Is a recent debate in the House OF Commons
some interesting facts were brought out touching
the postal regulations of the United Kingdom. At
tention called TO the discrimination against
h itish subjects in the matter of charges for pos
.at srvice as compared with the citizens OF other
thnl .ries. 1t WAS admitted that the cost to Eng
liss ien OF sending letters, newspapers and mer-
chandse samples to the colonial possessions of
Great Britain was in many cases two or three
times that charged for similar - IS from Ger
many aud France. In many ca 70, the mails
from those countries we're con- ~ in British
vessels The reason for this discrimination given
by the postal authorities was that in order TO
equalize expenses and TO pay the expenses of send
ing lettsrs to continental countries overland cheap
ly IL necessary to charge the mails carried by
water double what would be ordinarily charged.
The fact that the mails carried by water nearly all
overland went to foreign countries, was used as a
proof Of the lack Of administrative ability IN the
British Post Office. The effect of the di5crimina-
tions was, il was stated, to discourage British
trade with its colonial possessions aud trade winch
would be otherwise with Great Britain was diverted
TO foreign countries An interesting point brought
out was that in the matter OF merchandise sam
piles the cost of sending them to the East from
Great Britain was Just three times what 1t would
from Germany or France. This, il was stated,
rs practically prohibition. In connection With
Is matter il is interesting to recall the bill
ought into the United State Senate by a western
nator proposing to raise the charge on this class
matter from Is TO go. per pound, and thus
'acticAlly prohibit the transaction of this kind
business through the mails. This bill, which
as directly in the interest OF express companies,
Though ostensibly in the interest of country
torekeepers, would bring ABBOTT practically the
anne condition of things complained of by the
ritish mercantile public, namely, trade discrImi-
alton through the medium of governmental
achinery.

The Fourth Of July is only a month

done looking to the distinctive observ-
ance of the day in this city. 1t is true.
the great majority Of the people are
passing through period OF sorrow and
gloom; they are, being distressed.
bounded and prosecuted; the laws are
being outraged to annoy and injure the
people, and the time is one for sorrow
rather than jollificat on and boist-
erous pleasure. At the same time. the
gift that comes as a result OF that
grand days daring on July 4th, I776,
is in no manner responsible for the
deplorable condition OF things that
exists here to-day. That the blessings
and benefits intended to be conveyed by
the declaration Of July ith, have been
denied, would seem to furnish better
reason for celebrating the anniversary
in way to indicate our reverence for
the heroic WORK OF the fathers. We
hope the Fourth will not be permitted
to pass unnoticed, and trust that ar
rangements viii be made to celebrate
the anniversary IN a manner that will
tell of the patriotism of the people and

FoRrIFYING THE PACIFIC COAST

Yesterdays dispatches gave US to
understand that England will begin the
fertilization OF the Pacific coast Of her
British American possessions. The
Canadian Parliament voted an appro-
priation of $4,000 for military works
and defenses in British Columbia. Sir
Adolphe Caron explained to Parliament
that it was the object Of the government
70 construct extensive military defenses
on the Pacific coast, principally at Vic
toria, located at the southern extremity
of Vancouver's Island and Esquimalt.
TIE earthworks there would cost $780,
600, and the Imperial government pro-
posed to furnish guns, torpedoes. etc..
which would cost Sl25,0o0 or $4,000.
A craving dock is already in course OF
construction at Esquimalt, to
which the Imperial government
has contributed $4,000, and it
is claimed that when the works
now in contemplation are completed,
those places win be the most import
ant military stations OF the Empire.,
On first thought one might wonder how
that can be, but when we remember
that the Canadian Pacific Railroad
which will connect the eastern prov.
inces Of the Canadian and Atlantic
Ocean with the Pacific, is practically
one can readily see that it
gives England another route to her
in India. And in case of
trouble with Russia or any other power
hat would attack her Indian posses
lions, these military stations on the
Pacific Coast OF British America would |
orm an excellent base Of operation.

however, by mutual concessions, and
the agitation led TO the adoption OF the
treaty of 1854, which was subsequently
modified by the treaty at Washington
in 1874. 1t is to be hoped that when
the two governments again meet to
