THE BEST HOGS FOR BACON.

In 4 paper t. the Country Gentleman,
Mr.. y. IS. Allen, a prominent hog authority,
says 4 much greater quantity of compare
lively thin bacon is consumed in foreign
countries than thick side meat. 1t is, there
fore, of much importance to the American
farmer raising nogs for the packery that he
raise such hogs as will meet the best de-
mands of export. as very large proportion
OF the packery pork will be export d in the
near future. Heretofore, for long time,
there has been no great expectation of
pork, owing 10 restrictions in other coun-
tries, but the gates have been generally
thrown open TO us of late and hence we
may expect TO have our hands pretty full
relative TO the pork industry from this time
on.
y hog TO fully meet lne requirements for
export, says Mr.. Allen, must abound IN ten
der, lean, juicy meat, rather than fat, as
the latter quality IS entirely unsuitable for
bacon and fit only for sailing to pack in
barrels for commercial dealing The shape
of such hog should be rather long than short
in body. full on the back, of extra depth,
wide shoulders and broad thick hams, head
and neck of moderate length and fine, legs
the same, active in movement, and COM
pletely free from all sluggishness.
The hog raised for bacon, no matter
whether intended for export or cousump-
ton IN our own country, ought to be raised
differently from the way hogs are generally
raised in the so-caled pork states He
ought to have moderate exercise, and
mainly grass or other vegetable diet
through summer; in winter he should have
a dry yard and shelter from rains. His
feed, aside from what he gets on his pas
ture, should be wheat bran, oat or barley
meal and cottou-secd meal OF course the
cotton-seed meal sLoald be in small proper
ton 10 the quantity of bran or other meal
used, and this feed should be given only
twice day-moruing and evening. Early

CoRN. MELONS AND porAToEs

send L sample of corn raised by me, that
I think will interest you as a Texas product
You will observe that the grains are fully
three-fourths of an inch in length. l also
raised this season variety of the water
melon that J. consider extra fine It is a
variety of Texas origin. According to my
way Of thinking it has no superior any.
where. No melon could be more sweet and
tender of flesh, or more prolific Shape,
longish and of good size: color, an unbroken
green. l send you few seeds and would
suggest that you plant them next season in
order that you may see for yourself what
an extremely good thing in the melon line
we have over here.
You have lately been talking about sweet
potatoes. | raise variety known here as
the ''Texas yam which, it seems to me, is
everything that could be asked for a really
good sweet potato. Last spring l wrote a
description of it, which you printed, there
fore need not repeat now.
Bellevue, Tex. o. p. HAsIMEL.
The corn is something little out of the
regular order Of things SO far as relates to
corn. Grains three-fourths of an inch in
length, as stated, thick, and more than one
fourth of an inch in width at the
widest point They are about what
might be called ''gourd seed" in point of
shape. The color is red of only little
darker shade than scarlet. The water
melon seeds are not referable to any named
variety. They are Of about medium size,
and of dull Salmon color. Well plant
both the corn and the melon seeds.
Of the sweet potatoes mentioned we can
say nothing, not having seen samples. L
it would do to depend upon local names
we'd not think well of them, for we have
Worth sweet potato that sails under the
name of ''Texas yam" 1t is the same va
riety that east of the Mississippi river they
call ''chokes.' The more you bake it the
harder and dryer it gets. But some people
seem to Ike it very well for all this, though
we don't. There is no accounting for
tastes, you know. If your potato is of this
particular character. we have it here in all
its glory.
Il may be proper for Us TO state that we
have another potato here, Of some better
quality, that is also put upon our markets
as the Texas yar," though the ''chokes"
are largely in the majority. Our people
are in the way of calling all light-colored
sweet potatoes Texas yams," when they
are offering them for sale, unless an excep-
ton should be made of the ''yellow nanse-
mond" and the pumpkin YAM neither of
which variety often puts in an appearance.
So, as you must see, it is hard for us to be
sure of what manner of potato you ale re-
ferring to as the s'Texas YAM"

back your ears and sail in to win. Forget
this frost-ight the devil, also the grass,
get up soon and work late-mind your own
business and make every other blamed
fellow mind his. Make few debts and pay
what you make. Fear God and keep his
commandments, for this is tue whole duty
of man.
We can fully indorse every word of the
foregoing. The advice offered the farmers
OF Thomas county, Ga, would doubtless be
equally as good for the farmers of all Texas.
You find our papers full of advice in favor
of raising less cotton to bring up the price.
How could anything be more foolish9 Does
not every thinking man know that when
we resort to less cotton with view to
bringing up the price. other countries
will at once start into cotton culture, and
that we shall be soon left il the soup7 If
the Southern United States was the only
region of country in the world capable of
producing cotton, that advice might be
well enough, but such is not the fact. We
are holding the cotton business simply for
the reasons that we have happened to get a
good hold of it, and are producing salts
factory. staple; but should we drop back
from producing a full supply the cotton
business would begin to leave us without
seasons delay. We must supply the demand
to hold the trade, therefore the question Of
profits does not hang on a lighter produc-
ton, but on cheaper production. If we can
make more money by producing cotton than
by producing anything else, then cotton is
our crop of course
But we don't pretend to say that there is
the most money in cotton for every farmer.
Men are not all alike il point Of capability.
Some men may be able to make the most
money on cotton while others may be able to
do best with something else. All should get
at what they are best qualified to do, and
then. as the Economist writer suggests,
''just naturally back their ears and sail in
to VIM by producing as much of their spori-
atty as they can possibly produce, and do
ing 1t at the lowest possible cost.

MORE ABOUT TIE PEANUT.

An article in the Indiana Farmer sets
forth that the consumption Of peanuts in
this country amounted to 3, 200, 900 bushels OF
of the crop of the present season promises
10 much exceed that number of bushels.
The firm hold that the peanut has secured
ON the palate of the American citizen is
something surprising, for according to reli-
able authority. there are hundreds Of farm
ers in Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee (the states in which most of the pea
nuts grow, who plant nothing save corn
and peanuts, and yet the demand falls far
short of being fully supplied.
The peanut singly, continues our cotem-
porary, is light and airy trife, but in
numbers it is a vast resource of agriculture
and commerce. Its food properties are
great, there being rich, precious oil in
every kernel. During the peanut harvest
the people, the pickaninnies, the chickens,
pigs and nearly everything that eats, gets
fat in the land of the peanut. Peanuts are
planted at complaining time; each kernel
brings running vine-like top, which, by
liSdiS VI SCbb oONL, pLOOuSSS
mense numbers of nuts in the soil about
the hill. Just before time for frost the
crop is plowed up and shocked, vines and
all, to dry, after which the nuts are picked
off at leisure.
Baltimore distributes 50O,O 600 bushels or
q little less than one-fourth of the entire
crop, controlling the goods that go to Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan
ind Minnesota. New York gets her pea
nuts from Norfolk. The Virginia nut is
the largest and finest. The Wilmington is
smaller sort, and the Spanish nut is q
still smaller variety.
