The Portland daily press., 1892-04-16

The producers of the pure bred stock
have made it the ruling effort for years
to reduce the size Of the bone, while the
farmers call for heavy bone animals.
Now the question presents itself, have
the breeders gone too far in their efforts
to reduce the amount of bone, or do the
farmers fail to appreciate the benefits
arising from small knnes. One of the
foremost anaang English authorities says
that rne mistake is with the mass OF
farmers, and comments on the almost
universal demand with American farm
ers purchasing males for breeding pur-
poses that the animals must have heavy
bones. The large, coarse bone is not
always the strongest, but rather the fine.
perfectly formed bone.
Breeders understand that hog can
be made ready for market at from to 9
months old, and for market at this age
the bone must be fine. This is neces-
sary, that the animal have proper sym
metry in form, for the coarse, anga-
lar boned animal must be fatted at this
age. The trouble with the mass OF
farmers lies in the fact that they have
not grasped the advanced ideas of the
breeder that hog should be ready for
the market at not more than months
old.
Another matter that the farmers dc
not properly understand as yet is how to
keep the bone that they desire. They
purchase coarse boned male because
they think their sows are little too fine
boned, with the result that in few
years the same complaint is made again.
This shows mistake in management.
Sometimes in-breeding is the cause, but
more often the feeding Of food lacking
in bone forming material.
The custom of buying coarse boned
males should be abandoned, and the way
to bring about this is by using different
style of brood sow, which must be pro
duced by a different style of feeding.
To have hog that will fatten at the
age mentioned we must have symmet-
rical one. A coarse boned one does not
reach symmetrical proportions at this
age. By using heavy boned sows and a
fine, symmetrical boned boar we get in
the offspring the kind Of hog desired,
the counterpart of his sire, that will fat
ten at any age and carry the proper pro
portion of bone.
A hog can have perfect proportions
and be too small to be of practical value.
Also a hog can be symmetrical in form.
yet too large for general use. The ain,
should be to get the hog that has the
proper symmetry, reaching it at the age
desired to put him on the market. This
can be accomplished by care in feeding
selection and breeding.

How Much Eat in cheese2

We have no controversy in regard to
working all the fat of very rich milk
into cheese. Every man should so
handle and manufacture the milk in
trusted to him as to secure the largest
possible cash returns, subject only to
the one condition that neither fraud nor
deceit shall be tolerated in manufactur-
ing OF selling. If any man has or can
find a market that will take cheese made
from 6 per cent. milk, and will pay mar
ket value for the extra fat in such milk,
he would be very foolish not to avail
himself of the bonanza. The general
market will not do it.

larger per cent. of fat than many an
honest full cream cheese. Shall it be

THE APPLE scAB.
Conclusions Based Upon ExperiD ents
Made at the Ohio Station.

Conclusions Based Upon Experiments
Made at the Ohio Station.
The apple scab is a parasitic fungus
growing upon the leaf and fruit and
fourishing in cool, moist weather. 1t
has been known to botanists for long
time and throughout the eastern and
central states ono is almost certain to
find it in every orchard, and it is also
frequent in California. The effect of the
scab is to cause large proportion of the
fruit to drop while quite small, to great
ly disfgure the size and market value Of
that which natures, and to injure the
vitality of the tree by causing prema
ture falling of the foliage. Under
ordinary circumstances there are some
varieties which escape the scab, but in
some seasons, however, it respects
neither condition of soil, mode of cul-
ture, nor variety of fruit. So also
varieties notably free from disease in
one section may scab badly in some
other locality more or less remote.
1t has been demonstrated by expert
ments made by and under the direction
of the Ohio station, that the growth OF
scab fungus may be checked by spray
ing the tree at proper times during the
spring with several of the copper COM
pounds commonly used as fungicides.
So far as tested the most satisfactory
compound is dilute Bordeaux mixture
containing four pounds of lime, four
pounds of copper sulphate and fifty
gallons of water.
AS directed by Mr.. Green, the horti-
culturist of the station, the first applica-
ton should be made before or about the
time the leaves open, the Bordeaux
mixture being used alone. The second
spraying should be made immediately
after the blossoms fall. In this Paris
green or London purple may be com
bined with the dilute Bordeaux mixture
to destroy the apple worm. The third
application may be made week or ten
days from the time of the second and
with the same materials. The fourth
and last application for the season
should be made in about two weeks from
the time of the third, and dilute Bor-
deaux mixture alone used. For early
ripening varieties the fourth application
may be omitted, to avoid leaving coat
ing Of the mixture on the fruit when
ripe.
1t appears that spraying greatly in
creased the market value of all the
varieties experimental upon, and in the
case of Newtown pippin the value was
more than doubled. The difference was
also quite marked with Bellfower and
Smiths cider, but less so with Baldwin
and Greening. The effect of judicious
spraying with fungicides is to check the
dropping of immature fruit in the spring,
to cause it to grow to larger size and
more free from blemishes, to cause it to
hang better to the tree while ripening
and take on higher color and to improve
it's keeping quality.

TRAVELLING OUTFIT.
For the benefit of persons going abroad
for the first time, the following adv ice is
given:
Woolen under clothing should by all
means be taken for use on the water, and
oftentimes on the land. A cloth
macintosh is very useful for protection
from cold and rain. An overcoat or
shawl, and steamer rug is necessary on
the ocean. Take at least one pair of
walking shoes with thick soles. Collars
and cuffs can be bought anywhere. Two
or three changes of under-clothing are
sufficient, as laundry work can be done
in "a hours in any town or city. No
washing is done on the steamers.
One good looking travelling suit, with
black coat and vest for dress occa.
sions is all that gentlemen need in that
line. Ladies will find a travelling dress,
with better one for wear at dinner or in
evening, is all that they really require.
Expensive jewelry is not only out of
place on trip of this kind, but it is sure
TO prove source of care and anxiety.
Garry nothing that is not actually needed
Heavy baggage is troublesome and ex-
penslve to carry with one in Europe.
Saratoga trunks are unknown.
Get one good steamer trunk and have
your name and residence painted legibly
on one or both ends. A small hand bag
is also desirable for use during day OF
occasionally at night, when the trunks
cannot be reached.

DUpED INTO A TRAMP.

twenty-five Laborers Deceived by Dis
honest Employment Agent Into Going
to Oklahoma on = Wild Goose Chase
Now They Are Walking Back.
WICHITA, KAN, Feb. 5.-Twenty-hve
laborers passed through here on foot to-day
on their way from Oklahoma to Kansas
City. They tell pitiful tale of deception
by an employment agent, and subsequent
hardship and suffering.
When the announcement was made IN the
newspapers that the Rock Island Railroad
was extending its lines through Oklahoma
to Texas, Employment Agent Payne, of
Kansas City, advertised for men to work on
the line. Twenty-Five men answered the
advertisement, and on payment of SIS were
promised transportation to the place of
work and employment when they should
reach there. The men say when they ar
rived in Oklahoma they found that the con-
tractor had all the men he wanted and that
he had not authorized the employment
agent to secure workmen for him.
The 25 newcomers could find no means of
sustenance in Oklahoma, SO they pooled
what little money they had to buy food
with and started to tramp back to Kansas
City, 600 miles. They passed through here
to-day, all of them in terribly destitute
condition and some barely able to drag
themselves along. They expect to be on
the road for 20 days more. Inquiry in
Kansas City located the employment agent
to which the Wichita dispatch referred,
but the proprietor declined TO give any in
formation to reporters.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-Owing to the serious dis
orders consequent upon the authorities not

cipal educational establishments in France,
to hold their annual procession, the head
master of the institution, with the ap-
proval of NJ. Roche, Minister of Commerce
and Industries, has dismissed the students
and closed the school,
The mutiny commenced at the dinner
time of the juniors. One student dashed q
plate on the floor and others initiated him.
Then 100 more began throwing glasses, de-
canters and plates on the floor and demolish-
ing the furniture and windows, while others
made impassioned speeches. The masters,
finding themselves helpless, fed from the
building. The mutineers then fiocked to
classrooms and induced the seniors to join
the revolt All proceeded to the Ministry
OF the Interior and there sent deputation
to see M. Roche. The latter, however, de-
clined to receive the deputation and ordered
the police to disperse the students. 1t will
cost 1000 francs to repair the damage done
to the school.

Turn Over the Nebraska Governorship
Until the Document Arrives - What
Mere Rumor Leaves Uncertain.
LINCOLN, NEB., Feb BIN view of the
fact that conflicting statements have been
sent out relative to the Gubernatorial con-
troversy, in which Governor Thayer has
been placed in a false position. that gentle
man to-day furnished the press with state
ment outlining the course he intends to
pursue. Said he:
My attorneys are waiting to get the full
text of the decision of the Supreme Court at
Washington. As yet they do not know what
it does really contain, because of the con-
ficting reports. II any one supposes that
/ am holding on to the Office of Governor for
the sake of the Office, or that / have the
slightest desire to do so, such person is most
woefully mistaken. ] am anxious to sur
render the Office, but L do not propose to act
precipitately and without full knowledge of
what the decision does really mean.
The clerk of the United States Supreme
Court wired one of my ATTORNEYS that the
decision of the Supreme Court of Nebraska
was reversed, and the case was remanded
for further proceedings. When it is known
what the decision is We will know how to
act. am ready to comply with its require
ments. The fact that the case is remanded
for further proceeding certainly means that
something further is to be done before l can
surrender this office.
1t seems now that only -four judges sustain
the position that the enabling act made
Governor Boyd citizen. That is q minority
opinion. There is another feature to this
case. The query arises, Am l justified in
turning the office over to Governor Boyd?
The question is as to my right to turn over
the office to any person until the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court placing me in
the office of Governor is reversed by the
same court, because, as quoted above, the
Supreme Court remands the case here for a
rehearsal of its judgment and further pro-
ceedings. If is the opinion of the best legal
lights here that have no right to thus dis.
pose of this office.
This is not Il personal matter between my
self and Governor Boyd. l am holding the
office of Governor in behalf of the people of
Nebraska, and not for myself My attorneys
are giving these questions the most thorough
consideration. and l shall act in accordance

SALT LAKE, Feb. 5.-The Liberal Terri
torial Convention, just held in this city,
comprised upwards of 800 leading citizens
from several counties of Utah. The con-
vention adopted memorial to Congress
against the passage of Teller's Statehood
bill or Faulkner's quasi-Statehood bill, set
ting forth that the Territory is settled by
people who know nothing of American poll
tics, and have never learned to appreciate
or conduct free institutions.
The progress made it is not yet sufficient
to justify turning over the complete con-
troll to those who so long have been hostile
and are vet imperfeetly weaned from their
old ways. 1t also calls attention to reascn-
able doubts of the sincerity of the Mormons
in their present professions of party di-
vision and rejection of polygamy; repre-
sents that the Territory is prospering under
the present status, and asks time for the
changes now going on to become crystal.
