Selecting the Breed of Swine.
Rural New Yorker.

A writer says: There is no better time
than during the summer growth of swine,
or during annual fairs, for the intending
beginner to select a breed to adhere to.
1t may not be to his interest, not only to
select breed, but the specimens of breed
will grow to fair marketable size at an
early age. The color, as in cattle, is
mainly a fancy, for, while it may not be
denied that some swine are liable to all
ments of the skin, that do not common
ly affect others having the hair and outer
coating of the skin differently colored,
yet the color cuts no figure in fixing the
fattening tendency or in determining the
quality of the flesh. By examining diff
erent herds of breeding swine, and the
Off-shoots of those that are being fed for
markets, the latter on some farms being
made up of the leavings-such as did not
meet the demands for breeding purposes
AS these are upon grass, depending
mainly upon this for sustenance, one
can make a better estimate of the value
of given herd, as "sell tenders" than
where they are kept up in close quarters,
and fed on rich food prepared from
grains, oil cake meal, etc.
I Then again it is an aid CO no mean i'm
poftance in making selections, to be able
! to look over lot of brood sows having
their filters with them, as in this way we
are enabled to see what the tendencies
are in breeding; that is, whether they are
inclined to breed good litters as to num-
bers and good also in the matters of
growth, form, and tendency to fatten
promptly. If one will keep an eye out
for pointers that will aid him, he will get
these by observing a not usual sight
namely, that portion of the sows so fine
looking themselves are followed by one
or two good pigs, another not so good
and puny runt. These are some of the
advantages secured by visiting herds
in the summer, as one can then most
easily trace family characteristics, in the
matter of prOlifickness, not only Of the
older sows, but of the offshoots of those
that have been put to breeding. There is
a natural tendency to variation in all
kinds of domestic animals, and swine
stock coming into breeding so early and
maturing so rapidly, it is not unreasonable
to expect striking variations. Hence if
we can find within a given herd family
line more uniform in important features
than other family lines in the collection,
reasonably prolific as breeders, good
growers and shapely in form, these are
the families out of which we should Sc
lect, getting our male from a different
and if necessary, distant herd.

Fast Pork Making.
Knnrnr Enrnn

In order to have very large and very
fat hogs it is necessary to carry them
over one winter, or the larger portion of
1t, and experienced breeders doubt Wheth-
er under any circumstances it pays to do
that. 1t is doubtful. too, whether very
large hogs and very fat ones are the best
in any sense. While very hard working
man will eat and relish the meat of the
oyergrOwn animals, the average pork
eater wants the meat of the smaller ones,
because it is sweeter, more juicy and
more palatable in every respect. There
would be great deal more pork eaten by
persons of light work if it were not so
fat Quick, healthy growth is the best,
and If that is true spring pigs are better
than those that come so late as TO require
their keeping over winter.
And then, as an exchange remarks,
having the pigs to come in during the
tall, subjects them to the rigors of winter
at an age when they can not endure it,
and If they come in too early In the spring
the same misfortune is liable TO occur.
Even March Is too early for the pigs, and
unless the quarters are made very secure
against drafts and cold, at some period
during the cold days they will suffer from
cold. VI course the advantage of pig
entering the winter with three or four
months growth in his favor can not be
denied; but such pigs cost more for their
keep, in proportion to the pork they
furnish, than those narrowed in sprinG
1t is not the large hog that pays, but the
one that makee tho larger quantity of
pork in the shortest time and on the
smallest amount of food. If a pig comes
in during April he has nine months dur
ing which to grow by the end of the year.
If he is we'll bred and from good stock
of hogs he should easily be made to weigh
$50 pounds during the nine months of
his life, and the $50 pounds will have cost
less than those 400 pounds that were
carried through the latter part of the fall,
the winter and early spring. The heaviest

Over Feeding Show Pigs.

In preparing young swine for exhibit
ton at fairs, care should be taken not to
over-feed them. This is frequently done
in the anxiety to have the animals pre-
sent a fine appearance. Many local SOW
that carries away prize at the local fair
never rears any progeny. She has been
Over-fed. In many instances they stop
kgrowing entirely. Thus, in addition to
~being worthless as breeders, they become
almost valueless for meat. The small,
compactly built breeds more subject
to become barren from over feeding than
the larger or coarser breeds. The writer
recalls, that when boy, he obtained a
pair of thoroughbred Suffolk pigs. They
were ten weeks old and weighed seventy
pounds. Just about that time he had
read that good pig of that age should
gain pound in weight each day, and he
determined that his pigs should do their
duty. He inclosed them in a tight board
pen against the protests of older mem
bers of the family. In addition to the
proper amonunt of food he surreptitious-
ly gave them all they would eat. These
pigs were seen and admired by people far
and near. They gained nearly a pound
daily each tor two months, when the SOW
stopped growing, and the Disguised
breeder" turned them out on the farm
with other hogs, The SOW remained on
the farm for a year, but grew no larger.
She never bred but always looked nice
and fat. The boar, a coarser and more
robust pig, recovered from the effects of
overlooking, and became large and SER
viceable animal. Since that time similar
cases have been observed, especially
among animals that have been exhibited
at fairs and stock-shOws. An experience
ed breeder rarely ever makes such mis-
take, and an experienced judge would
not award prize to an over-fed animal
intending to be used for breeding pur-
poses. show animal should be fed up
sufficiently to make it look straight and
smooth, but should not be fattened, ex-
cept they be mature and not intended for
breeding.

Mending in Season.
California Patron.

In the days of our grandmOthers the
art of mending all kinds of clothing
either woven or knit, and all kinds of ar
ticles in household use, was esteemed a
most necessary and womanly accomplish
ment, and no young woman was cOnsid-
cred eligible for matrimony, who was
ignorant Of this useful art, "a penny say
ed is penny earned" was a maxim that
was ploughed in and we'll cultivated in
the memories of the rising generation,
fifty to hundred years ago, and bore
fruit in thousands of minds. In those
days, it cost less to raise a family of a
dozen to eighteen children, than it does
now to raise five, and the children of the
present are no better, brighter, and
usually not as robust and healthy, and
certainly not as industrious as the child
rem of those days.
The girls of this era in cities and large
towns, bang the piano, make crazy quilts,
work and crochet in worsted of different
kinds, embroider in Kensington stitch,
paint plaques, panels, flowers, etc.
Whether they have any artistic talent or
not, they must learn music and painting
but at least three fourths of them do not
darn their own stockings, and cannot
mend or make over garment so they
would be willing to wear it on the street,
much less wash and iron their be-ruff1ed
and embroidered undergarments, and
mend them neatly (if needed) before
putting them away. How many girls
and women too sit down to their embroid-
cry or painting who have from a peck to
a half bushel of stockings tucked away,
that only need few hours darning to
make them wearable. Many girls have
never been taught to darn nicely, and
darning will soon be a lost art. I have
seen girls take a needle and thread and
draw hole in stocking together in a
quicker and fasten it strongly, and called
that darning, and said 1 was ar old
fogy," when 1 commented on that
way of mending. Worse than that,
saw blooming young lady dressing
to GO to matinee. After tumbl-
ing over about thirty pairs of stock
ings to find whole pair put on a pair
with holes in both heels and toes, and
this was the way she managed. She
drew the stocking on, SO she left the
hole in the heel ueder TIM foot, and cut
off the toe of the stocking, whipped the
cut edges over the toes with a coarse
thread, and put on a dainty pair of s.
dollar boots over those make-shift hose !.

Rye for Fall and Spring Pasturage.
Iowa Homestead.

Allow me to urge every farmer to SOW
rye GA every available acre just as soon
as the ground is in proper condition. 1t
is now evident that the dry weather will
shorten our crops, and we should at once
look for some means by which to replace
the loss. By the early and extensive SOW
ing of rye an immense ammount of pas
turage can be secured for stock, which
will add very greatly in csrrying the cat
tie and horses through till another season.
If rains come soon and the sowing be
done promptly, large amount Of pasture
can be secured for use till fall; but if
circumstances are such as to prevent SOW
ing in time for fall purposes, it will be
ready for early spring, and may be pas
tured into May, and with a favorable
spring fair crop can still be secured, or
If the land is then wanted for corn, pasture
close and turn under. After years of ex-
perience it has been the conclusion of the
writer that there was no crop which. all
things considered, paid better than rye
except, of course, grass, which is the crop
for Iowa. After the rains come sowing
may be done at almost any time before
ground is frozen. Having purchased a
farm late in the fall few years ago, I was
delayed in sowing that place till the 10Th
of October. The ground being wet at the
time, the grain sprOuted at once, and was
just beginning to come through the sur
face when everything froze up for the
winter, but the rye came through all right
and yielded bOuntiful crop the next
season.

To avoid streaky butter have the cream

There is one mode of saving bones

ALTHOUGH wild mustard is most trouble
some IL spring grain. it is not then that

In spring grain, it is easily seen, and
careful farmers will pull it out. But on
land infested by this weed a few plants
will always be found in wheat crops, and
1t Is ripe and the seeds mostly scattered
on the ground before the wheat is har-
vested.
THESE points as to his method are given
by farmer who knows Aow to raise 400
bushels of potatoes to the acre: Rich, light
soil; pillow deep early in the spring; plant
fifteen inches apart; cover four inches
deep or more: keep down the weeds, but
do not work the ground after potatoes
begin to bloom. The main secret, he
says, is in selecting the seed. He always
cuts off the blossom end. One eye will
! yield more potatoes than two.

9OO.OOO.OOO Arid Acres.

The land area of the United States, ex-
elusive of Alaska, by the last census, cover
1857, 493 square miles, or 1892, 795, 500
acres. Nearly half of this lies west of
the Tooth meridian, which has long been
set down as the general boundary line be.
tween arid land, that needing artificial
irrigation, and that receiving sufficial
rainfall for cultivated crops. As recently
shown in the Prairie Farmer, there is a
good deal of soil west of this meridian
that belongs to the latter class. Taking
in those portions along the coast, IN Ore
gon and Washington Territory, and other
local regions, which have abundant rain
fall, there are certainly not less than the
odd 100000 acres not to be accounted
as arid. This explanation makes clear
the following:
In paper read before the American
Society of Civil Engineers, at its recent
meetings in Denver, Mr.. Walter FL. Grav-
es, c.. e., estimates the arid region of the
United States at nearly half of its entire
area, or in round numbers about 900 900,
600 acres. Of this he reckons abont $780,
100000 acres as arabic land, that is, land
capable of being redeemed and utilized.
Of these about 32,O00,OOO acres have been
already redeemed and converted into far
ming land by the art of gation-equal
TO 100000 of eighty acre farmes- capable
of supporting a population of 100000
In his enthusiasm he says and perhaps
truly: "The redemption of the 250,000,-
600 acres of areable land is only ques-
ton of time, the factors being capital
and engineering" And this amount, he
says means prosperous homes for 15,O0O,
600 farming people,

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN
THE HONEST OLD FARMER.

Give me the man of honest heart
Who spurnS The tempters gold;
Who trades not in the sorld mart
Where men are bought and sold;
Who snuns with high, abhorrent soul,
The mercenary throng;
Whose vote no party can control;
Who lives foe to wrong.
What cares he for the proud mans scorn
The hirelings servile pen?
To win his bread by labor, born,
He ranks with honest men.
What needs he more? What higher aim
Within life's narrow span!
IT'S more than wealth, or rank, or fame,
To be an honest man.
Who sells his vote betrays trust
Confided TO his care:
Degrades his manhood to the dust.
And trampleS on it there Who BUYS
A vote for any cause;
Whether TO aid an Ell terprise,
Or make nations laws
All! would that men would spurn the gold
That tempts them 10 beLray
A cause they proudly should uphold,
THOUGH death were in the way.
Far better seek a destiny
Remote. obscure, unknown,
Than win by fraud or peridy
A fortune or a throne.

FARM NOTES.

Don't let the weeds get the start of you.
Keep them in check by constant cultiva-
ton.
A Minnesota farmer believes that no
fodder is equal to green ambercane for
producing butter.
Tar ought not to be used in marking
sheep. It dries into hard lump, which
must be cut off by hand.
An application of I've will restore to
rough trunks and branches of orchard
trees their original smoothness.
Milk being complete food it can not
be produced unless complete food is given
for the COWS for that purpose.
Make harness fit properly and a horse
can wear it without distress, provided that
it is also kept decently clean and com
fortably soft.

the milk, stirring in the soda, butter, salt
and pepper, with the -four wet up with a
little milk, and pour it scalding hot on
the eggs beaten light in a bowl; add the
cheese beet up for minute, pour into
buttered custard cups and bake in a
brisk oven for twenty minutes. They
should be puffy and lightly Drowned and
served instantly in the cups as they viii
very soon fall. Pass the waters with
them.

TO PICKLE PEARS AND PEACHES

Select medium sized pears and smooth
freestone peaches; stick them full of
cloves. Boil seven pounds of sugar
with one gallon of vinegar, an ounce of
mace and an ounce of allspice. When it
boils put in the fruit and let it cook gent
ly until straw will pierce it. Remove
the fruit with skinner and boil the
sirup down for few minutes; and then
pour it over the fruit. Cover them
close.

MEAT CROQUETTEs,


Take the remains of any cold meat and
mince it fine; add an onion minced just
as fine don't any of you sheer at the
onion, for it is one of the most helthful
and most obliging vegetables grown, and
season with salt and pepper to taste. You
can also add sprig of parsley or hint
of sage or a dust of thyme if you like.
Soak thick, crustless slice of bread in
cold water; squeeze it dry; add to meat
and onion-some people say bind with an
egg, but I keep my egg for something
else-fOrm into small, fiat cakes and fry.
I am assuming that the meat remains are
scanty; they needn't be much. About q
coffee cup packed full after mincing will
do nicely, and give you enough croquettes
for breakfast or lunch or little side dish
at dinner.
LEMON WATER ICE.
The juice of two lemons, two teaspoon
fulls of the extract of lemon, one quart
of water, one pound of granulated sugar
and one gill of rich, sweet cream. Mix
all well together. strain and freeze, the
same as ice-cream. Orange waterloo is
made in the same way, using oranges.
TooTHAoHE.
Pulverize about equal parts of common
salt and alum. Get as much COT as
will fill the tooth, damp it, put it l.
mixture and place it in the tooth. Il.is
is also good mixture for cleaning the
teeth.
PAINT SMELL.
Water neutralizes the smell of paint.
Vessels of water placed in a newly pan
ed room will remove the smell, espec
if impregnated with a little
acid; or straw and hay well
water; or chloride of lime ".
