PLAN FOR MEASURING HOGS.

Now" explains the swine breeder, IF
it fit the entire length, and would give
the animal full score on back, and if the
lower line of the side were straight
would also score full. If the ham was
deep, thick and even curve down on to
the hook and square on the back part or
nearly SOY would score full and would take
all parts that were even, round and square
where required and give full score Now
take the No. cut. 1t is almost straight
on the back, but not entirely so. Score
seven points or cut one point; lower line
not quite so important a part of the hog,
cut one point, although is more off from
straight line than line of back. The ham
in No. l would call good, while in No. 2
the ham is off at least three points, the
dotted lines showing where it is off
the worst. The line of back shows also
bad measurement. The distance from
back line of No. is four times as much
as on No. l. l would want the heart
measurement as much or more than the
flank measurement. The shoulder l
would want more like No. l. The dotted
line on No. 2 shows deficiency as well as
showing by lines that back and lower line
are deficient several points"

Things Talked About,

Every sheep raiser makes his own luck,
according to the care and attention he
gives his flock, says Rural Home.
Prominent fruit growers find that
thinned peaches are of a superior size and
excellence and sell much better than the
unthinned ones.
Prominent commission merchants rec
ommend that the LIE Conte pears be
shipped so green that they will keep two
weeks and not mellow up till the retail
dealer gets them.
An English farmer says: my twenty
five years experimentation with potash
on Norfolk soils warrants me in advising
its application to roots in preference to
any crop in the ordinary rotation"
Henry Stewart thinks quicklime is as
Indispensable in a dairy as ice. 1t is ex-
ceedingly absorptive of moisture, taking
up one-third Of its weight and falling
slowly to fine, dry powder, without any
appearance of moisture.
Professor Beal asserts in The American
Agriculturist that there is probably no
more beneficial wild animal living in
America than the skunk, which does an
untold amount of good in digging up and
devouring the common grubworm, the
larvR OF lachnosterna fusca, a pest to all
grass lands and a curse in strawberry
beds.
The International dairy show is to be
held at Chicago at the timo of the fat
stock show, Nov. 1926.

saIicylic Acid for Preserving Fruit.

Although the use of salicylic acid in
wines and preserved fruits has been for
hidden in France, yet in Germany and
some other countries it's use is increasing.
In regard to the quantity eff acid to be
used, DR.. F. Won Heyden, of Dresden,
recommends for most purposes one drachm
tabout two teaspoonfuls) of crystallized
acid to every three pounds of fruit The
jars may also be covered with white paper
soaked in an alcoholic solution of salicylic
acid. In manufactured preserves, mar
malades, etc, two ounces of acid are re-
quired for every hundred weight of pulp.
Raw fruit can be preserved long time
when wrapped in clean, salicylated paper.
The juice of berries or any other kind Of
fruit will keep we'll for more than a year
if treated with salicylic acid at the rate
of one drachm to three pounds of juice.
This leaves the addition of sugar op-
tional.-Southern Planter.

Corn the Great American Crop.

Corn or maize, is the great American
tillage crop. There is no other of half it's
area. Wheat has nearly half and cotton
a quarter of its breadth. 1t is sufficient
to cover Ohio Indiana and Illinois, with q
slice of Iowa in addition. Its area last
year, though reduced by drought, was 81
per cent. of that of all cereals together,
and its product was So per cent 1t is
now grown in every state and territory in
the Union though sparingly in those Of
high elevations, in the Rocky Mountain
region. The supply as population in.
creases is enlarged rather than dimin-
ished. 1t was 2J,5 bushels per head in
1850, 2G.6 in 1860, 1917 in 1870 and 30 in
1880.
The crop, large as it is, is exported in
small proportion. Only per cent. of the
production of seventeen years has gone
abroad for a market The home market
is So per cent. of all, and its relative
abundance CT scarcity makes the price
If scarce, the price is high, and foreigners
| decline to buy; if low enough to compete
with foreign feeding stuffs larger guam
tity is exported. Neither Liverpool nor
Chicago makes the price, but the farmers
and country feeders, who use fve.sixths
of all. 1t is crop of which railways
carry but small part. Less than one.
fifth crosses state lines. Half is used for
feeding for milk or flesh, one-tenth for
human food and four-tenths for the food
of working animals. For spirits scarcely
per cent. is used.
The prospect for the present year is for
the largest area ever grown of this dis.
tinctively American crop. Aside from the
area intended for grain there are millions
of acres drilled for forage, the silo and
the summer dairy. No other plant will
produce so much nutritious feed on a
given area. No other is worth so much
for American tillage.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-10-11
A Year of Plenty.

Corn leads the cereals in general i'm
portance and promised abundance of the
crop. Spring wheat has not fully main
tanned its high promise in June.
Full estimates of winter wheat cannot
yet be made, but the results of threshing
so far as known promise a larger yield
than was expected early in the season.
Cotton has passed through the season
with but little injury from climatic
changes, rust or insects. Pasturage III
the main has been excellent, and in the
states and territories forming the great
pasturage belt exceptionally good.
The apple and peach crops are large, es-
pecially in states where scarcity existed
last year. 1t is a satisfaction to know
that importations of potatoes will not be
needed, every state reporting high av-
erage. Hay is generally satisfactory,
clover standing high in quality. There
has been large increase in acreage of
oats, and the crop is probably the largest
ever grown.

Selecting Seed Corn.

Professor Johnson, of the Michigan
Agricultural college, has practiced the
following method of selecting seed corn
for number of years with satisfactory
results:
When husking, the most perfect ears
are selected and sent to the drying room.
A second sorting follows, when all ears
not up to the standard are rejected. The
corn is then tied up with wool Irvine in
lots of fifty ears or more, or strung on
wire with Smiths device for hanging up
corn" The ears are then hung up in the
drying room. The room below the drying
room is heated by coal fire, and the
chimney from this room passes through
the drying room, thus securing q dry and
even temperature. First-Selection of
perfect ears when corn is husked. Sec

FAILURE At WACO.
The Prominent Firm of Levine Bros
Suddenly Collapse.
SDacial TalaOram IN the Statasn1an

The Prominent Firm of Levine Bros.
Suddenly Collapse.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, October 3.-A6out O'Clock this
evening the large dry goods establishment
of Levine Bros. in this city made an
assignment TO W. W. Seley, of the Waco
State bank, making him assignee. The
assignment is in favor of all creditors of
the firm. An inventory of liabilities and
assets will be made as soon as possible.
Some estimates have been made
by good authority that the La
bilites will be about $4,000 or
$4,000, and the assets, including stock,
on hand will reach some where in the
neighborhood of 100000. Levine Bros.
have been in the mercantile business in
this city for about twenty years, and are
highly respected as gentlemen and bust
ness men by everyone in the city. Their
failure in business was quite surprise to
most ever body in Waco to-day.
Sheriff Reeves, of SummerVille county,
arrived in the city to-day, and had in
custody j. H. Gates, whom he brought
from Huntsville. Gates was convict in
the state penitentiary, at Huntsville, but
his term had nearly expired, and Sheriff
Reeves arrested him on a charge of horse
theft committed in SummervilIe county
some three years ago. Gates was placed
in Jail here and will be transferred to
Summerville county to morrow to answer
the charge pending against him there.
