The n eW Hog.

There are plenty of people living who
remember when the hog was an athlete
could jump fences and beat horses in the
race. The pig filters were not infre-
quently 20 to % in number. The early
hog also had a nose for business, and put
it where he liked. He had a great wind
bellows, and little fat to retard his
motions. In those days his bacon was
lean and mean, and he had fairly enough
lard to fry the balance. 1t is barely
possible That we are tending to
the mistake of extreme refinement by
breeding. Whether this is so or not, it is
well to cal. the attention of young
breeders to what has and is occurring.
They do not know fully what damages
have been made IN fifty years. They
hear something about it, but cannot real
i1e these things as older ones do who saw
the athletes fifty years ago, and look upon
their descendants now. A writer on the
subject gives the following note of warn
ing and advice The hog has had his nose
ana legs shortened his bones developed,
his back broadened. his digestive and as
similative powers enlarged and his vital
and reproductive powers impaired. His
education and refinement have been car
ried too far in many cases. He is dude
he cannot give vigorous squall, nor run
forty rods without danger of death, nor
does he breed as of yore. 1t is our duty
to him and ourselves to study him, and
bring ba, into domiuancy his old-time
vital powers to such degree as will insure
his igor and powers of reproduction. We
can get parallels between the COW and
the SOW, The Shy breeding cow is poor
mixer, the good mixer is a certain
breeder. This will be found to obtain
with the sow, only the signs are gotten in,
a different manner. We can tell how the
COW milks by her mess or by the calf
that sucks Der, and we can tell a good
milking sow by her litter The
regularity with which the sow
breeds is an infallible sign Of the condi-
ton of her reproductive organs, the size
of the litter. and their vigor when they
come are sure indications whether the
vigor OF the SOW is in full force or is
abating. We have given all attention to
breeding out the old fashioned form with
it's yigor and developing the approved
early maturing type with its deIlcacY.
Observing breeders have for some
time seen these tendencies and have
been correcting them with success.
The hog, as we have MIN. is without
doubt the finest of his kind in the world,
but the heavy losses met every spring ad-
monish US that we must not forget when
improving that vigor must be preserved
in the vital organs. other wise we have no
hog The variations found in our filters

Ia helm dominate these forces, and by
close study of what we have and their be-
havior. we may, with certainty, keep the
vital features Of the hog.-EX.

Poor Land From clean Culture.

N Many make the mistake of surprising
Sthat clean culture of land improves it,
while leaving weeds. on it tends to deteri-
pirate it, says the Indiana Farmer. Just
fhe contrary is true, however. Clean
Culture of land, when a crop is taken on
leaves the soil exposed to the elements so
fhat valuable ferJiiizing agents escape
feadily and exhaust the strength Of the
land. It is much better after harvesting a
clean crop in the middle of the summer. II
Pie land were covered with a thick growth
81 weeds.
NJ These statements are not made as advo-
eating weeds. Weeds are enemies at al
Nmes. They must be eXterminated and
sept down on the farms. But OF two
evils, a clean. bare soil in the middle OF
Nc summer, or one covered with weeds
the latter is preferable. Neither one is
desirable
In Europe farmers who adopt intensive
methods Of farming and where every
- uare foot Of soil is very valuable to them,

Young SOWs.

Taking all things into consideration a
young SOW should not farrow her first lit
ter of pigs until she is a year old, and
even then she must have been treated so
that a steady gain can be secured from
birth to maturity, says the Southern
Stock Journal She must be reasonably
well developed when bred, and it is posi-
tive loss TO breed a sow selected not es-
pecially for her good qualities ana then
run the risk of severely in .uring, if not
entirely des sroying, her as a breeding ami
NAL simply by breeding her too young.
1t is always best to have her in a gain
ing condition when bred 1t is also best
10 mate her so that she will farrow after
grass has made good start to grow in
the spring.
in all cases admit of but one service.
/ The breeding boar should be kept con-
fined in a yard or lot to himself and the
sows be turned in to him. and as soon as
served they should be taken out and be
put in place TO themselves where they
can be made as quiet as possible until the
heat passes of. Care in breeding will
avoid considerable loss and disappoint-
ment. The advantage in having her
farrow after grass starts is that with
plenty of good grass she will be much
better able to supply her pigs with plenty
of milk as there is nothing better to en-
able SOW TO afford her pigs plenty of
milk than good grass.
During CESSATION she should be fed lib
orally and with good variety. There is
nothing gained in keeping her fat, but
much is lost. unless she is kept in good,
thrifty condition. She needs and must
4 have a ration that will secure good de-
velopment of bone, rather than of fat.
During the winter some corn can always
be given with profit, as it is one Of the
4 best materials that can be given 10 main
q tain warmth, and the winter ratlons can
q have at least some corn in it with profit
On the farm there should be no di IL

N with all other animals on the farm, a
variety will give better results than any
one material. Oats, barley, middlings,
bran, oil meal, and wheat can all be used
Il with profit in feeding the sows during
II the winter, the amount always can test
be determined by the condition of the
animal. Give the run of 4 good pasture,
the exercise az well as the variety of food
secured will secure better health and
thrift and young brood sows should never
be confined when it is possible TO avoid 1t.

full grown.
In another part of the plat sow mix

Defer this sowing, however, until August.
The Cowhorn will be taken out many
weeks before the Aberdeen are full

far the best rough leaf or English turnip

Are YOU thinking Of planting a second
crop of Irish potatoes} Have you sa ed
the seed-the small ones of the first cropR
Do.you know exactly how to proceed with
this SCI ond planting2 A very important
thing To DO is TO ripen the small potatoes
and bring them 10 the very point of
sprouting before planting them out. We
have told IN this column several times
how to do this, IL you want to get the
most satisfaction out of this crop this
must be done
A late crop of tomatoes, like Irish po-
tates, is FREQ uently the most profitable
Even in Middle Georgia we can start a
crop from the seeds on July 10, ana three
times out OF four get salts actory results
Green tomatoes, in October rememb Der,
are in great demand for pickles. If the sea-
son should prove late as it often does, a
good proportion will ripen from planting
made now OF course it would have been
better if the crop had teen started in
June. This late crop grows very rapidly.
Beans-Planting of any of the bush
kinds are in order now. If seeds are
scarce drop three or four ia hills three by
two but ii not drill them along a do en-
or so to she foot and in rows two and
half feet apart. The stalks make good
fertilizer. s,~-
Corn-Ofal the varieties ever planted
for roasting ears for fall use or for cam
ming, we know of no kind superior to the
"Blount." If you keep one cow or more
it is doCbly profitable growing a late
crop of green corn. AS the ears are taken
OF the green stalks can be cut and fed TO
the mich cows, ana they will eat them
with a relish greater than before. The
grass will have become dry and hard in
September and they will enjoy the more
succulent corn.
Dairying and trucking work in together
very nicely. A 10 or 70 acre truck farm
should imply three to six COW dairy,
or if your taste inclines you to pigs, a iour
to eight sows piggery.

course, a glass sash will collect more
heat than the vanished cloth,
but the latter does almost, if
not fully, as well as glass in retaining
through the night any heat absorbed by

but as soon as this is done the cloth Gov
ers will be all sufficient for protecting the

or cold winds prevalent, the cloth sash as
well as the glass should be kept off of the

The usual size of cold frames is 3x6 feet
or half this size, 3x3 can be used. Make
your frame for the cover, say 3x6 feet
Cover by lacking in firmly a

is usually sufficient, but Sc, ond can be
given after the first has cooled.
Another varnish is made by dissolving
an olnce of the oxide of manganese or
hthage in quart of boiled linseed oil. At
least two coats of this will be required.
Sash tops should be made to fit very
close to the frame, so that not Bit of

The above applies to air dry materials.
All of these substances are liable
to considerable variation. Analysis
shows the hUIls to be an infe-

them to the straw, when they can be had
free from all dirt and trash. They come
in very handy for the purpose of dilutlng
