An EngIi-h breeder ON pigs.

y writer in the North British Agricult-
Urist has an extended article on farrow
ing and raising pigs. from which we eX
tract as interesting. the following:
Having decided on the breed 10 keep,
whatever ii may be, / think the best
way 20 start is TO buy one or two
straight. deep, light-shouldered sows,
each having not less than twelve sound
teats and due To farroW their second or
third litter. This is preferable, l am
sure, to buying yelts. as often great
disappointment comes through these
breaking their service or proving bad
mothers. Having secured a nice SOW or
two the breeder can save the best yelts
from them. and by selecting a straight.
deep. clean-shouldered boar, one should
have the foundation of a good herd at
a small outlay. To obtain these one may
attend at advertised sale, or communi-
cate with one of the many breeders of
the class required. Care must be eXer-
cised i'm order to obtain soWs with as
much quality as possible. The coat and
skin are. as in other animals. the best
indicati Of quality; the former should
be fairly long and fine. while the latter
should be smooth and free from wrinkles
Of any sort. I have been often asked
whether the boar or the SOW has the
greater influence on the progeny. l am
inclined 10 favor the SOW. from the fact
Of having had many sOws breed good
pigs from different boars At the same
time. I would not use anything but
good boar
As the young pigs come on the scene,
they should each one be taken away and
put into a box or hamper kept in readi-
ness. and their little teeth nipped off by
pliers made for the purpose There are
eight teeth. two at each side Of the up
per and two on each side of the lower
jaw. They are as sharp as needles, and
if not cut off they punish the SOW con-
siderably. This causes her TO be uneasy.
and in getting up and down she usually
kills some of the youngsters. / am sure
/ save a great many pigs each year by
insisting upon having the teeth attended
to: if the little pigs are many days over
due the teeth appear extra long. no
doubt making an additional growth i'm
the SOW. In cold wea Their the tails Of
the little pigs should be rubbed at the
root with lard or lard oil fer a week or
ten days after birth. say each alternate
morning; il prevents their getting chap
ped and falling off. and thereby saves
a great loss in the value of breeding or
show pigs -

shipping Queen Bees.

\ correspondent of the American Bee
Journal, among other things. says:
One thing l would do if | were making
business Of shipping bees TO this part
OF the country from the East or South
during the summer and part Of the
spring would be 10 have my shipping
cages contain small phial so corlxed
that the bees could sip out as much
water as they required. Such cages
could be constructed for very little more
than they now cost. | think if they
were made I'm the right way that they
need not weigh over an ounce when pro-
visioned and ready 10 ship with the queen
and bees. When 50 constructed such a
cage would not require so much candy.
which would make it lighter; then some
OF the wood could be bored away 70 make
room for the phial. I remember that "A
cage something like the one | have i'm
mind was made and used some ten years
ago to some extent by eastern breeders.
Instead of the water receptacle being
made Of glass il was made Of tin. That
these cages did not come into general
use for shipping purposes | attribute 10
the fact that they We're made too shall
low.
II think our queen breeders will not
construct their shipping cages with
water reservoirs in them or if they can
not make a candy" that viii remain
perfectly soft for six or ten DAYS with
soft. so that a small cage need not
weigh over one ounce when ready TO
drop into the postoffice, then they
should demand in their advertisement
that when queens are To he sent to dis
tant places-say , 900 miles across the
continent to points the Pacific coast
the purchaser should add enough more
10 the listed price to pay for the cost
Of eXtra-sized shipping cases and pro-
visions. ] think that 10 cents would be
fair price to add for this extra cost.
This would allow the shipper 20 use an
export cage. or one of those reservoir
cages containing water 4 little more
liberality on the part of both purchaser
and breeder would he the means Of saw
ing the life Of many a queen bee.
In leaving this subject ] would again
impress upon the breeder who is about
10 ship queen to this part of California
or for that matter to any part of this
state, TO he sure that the candy he in
tends To provision his cage with. will re-
main in nice. soft condition during the
entire trip and that the ventilation be
ample during the summer and limited
during the spring, as during the latter
time the bees may have TO pass through
a mountainous country much colder than
the region where they were reared. Do
not think that because your queen is
going TO California she is going 10 get
into paradise the moment she leaves
your hands. There may be a very
severe purgatorial period before her. and.
perhaps. this probationary spell might
be So severe upon her that she might be
obliged to go to worse place than Cali
fOrnid.
