that; mine has a perfect ear" The
expert judges say that a "back and
loin'' are worth eve and a half times
as much as an ear, and we would be in
clined to make the difference greater;
still, this young breeder did not see a
magnificent back and lOin. The rath-
err coarse ear filled his whole eye. Let
us not forget, in our rush to thorough
bred stock, that the lend of hog is
pork We have been sc long used to
large coarse ears and long noses, that
it is little wonder the fancy modern
hog strikes US favorably in these par
ticulars, but it is not in these points
that the modern hog most surpasses
his razor back ancestors. He has i'm
proved even more in ham, back and
sides-those parts of the animal that
produce the pork.

Hog Lice.

The amount of corn fed annually to
these parasites, by Southern farmers,
would buy enough lard and kerosene to
keep them off the hogs for ten years.
Let the hogs become thoroughly in
tested with lice, which is toofrequent-
ly the condition of Southern hogs, and
it will take twice as much corn to keep
them growing. One-tenth of this corn
would buy enough lard and kerosene
to keep the hogs free from lice and
would thereby add to the comfort as
well as growth of the animals.
Rub the kerosene and lard just back
of the ears, and front legs, and on
any other parts especially infested,
once or twice a month, and no trouble
will occur.

Making Pork Fast.

Mr. S. H. Todd, of Ohio, says that
March pigs can be made to weigh 275
pounds by November if the sows are
kept in prime conditionup to and after
narrowing, in order to make her both
an excellent feeder and afford an album
dance of milk for the pigs. He says
he fed her literally with one part of
old process Oil meal, six parts of
shorts and three quarts of bran mixed
with scaldlng water after the mixture
has stood twelve hours. Put in the
drinking water a little salt and a tea
spoonful of saltpeter one a week.
Feed the above ration twice each day,
morning and evening, and at noon
give a liberal feed of w~ell-soaked corn.
Let the trough be low 20 that the ami
NAL will learn the way to the table.
Give her also grass, or better, clover.
Wean the pigs when ten IL twelve
weeks old. Continue the same treat
ment for pigs.-Indiana Farmer.

Thoroughbreds VS.. Cross-breds.

A. D., New Orleans, La, who is
starting a hog ranch, writes:
Il shall raise hogs for the butchers
and packers. In that case do you
think it is necessary for me to breed
thoroughbred stock: l wonld GER
tainly want to breed the Gerry largest
and healthiest stock and such as ma

ANswER.-It will pay the pork pro
Queer to raise thoroughbred hogs. If
the thoroughbred excels in any re-
spect it is for the production of pork,
as this is the sole purpose of a hogs ex-

The Score Card.

The tendency of the average young
breeder is to attach too much value
to fancy points at the expense of abil-
ity to produce pork. A fancy ear, a
short nose, and proper color markings
are worth something, and in selecting
breeding stock we would prefer to
have these points if more important
ones did not have to be sacrificed.
Their chief value, however, is in the
index they form to the breeding and
quality of the hog to which they be-
long. AS a means of %impressing up
on the minds of those breeding regis
tered stock the relative values of the
different parts of the hog we would
recommend a thorough study of the
''scale of points" on the score card"
adopted by the National Association
of Expert Judges of Swine. AS this
.'score card" is seldom used in Judging
swine in the South, we give it here as
a matter of general information to our
readers:

In addition, if

or cross-bred stock. In addition, If
thoroughbred stock be raised, the
''tops" may be sold for breeders at a
better price than they will bring for
meat. In breeding thoroughbreds for
pork, little attention need be paid to
fancy points and o~ut-crosses may be
used to produce vigor and obtain
proper size and maturing qualities.
Grade Poland China sows, bred to a
Berkshire boar, will likely produce
good meat hogs, but we would much
prefer not to mix the breeds. Grade
Poland China sows bred to a thorough
bred Poland China boar, OF grade
Berkshire sows bred to a thorough
bred boar of their own kind, will pro-
duce better results than the cross
breeding proposed. See article on
Gross Breeding" in another column.
We do not think you want the very
largest" hog-in fact, we are quite
sure you do not. When a hog obtains
a weight of $50 pounds gross, he
should be sold and his place filled with
a pig that will give a larger amount of
pork for the feed consumed. In short.
the VERY largest size and ''early
maturity" do not usually go together.
Proper care and feeding, with suffi-
cient o~ut-crossing, will give you
healthy stock.
We would not want to put % hogs
on less than five acres of Bermuda
pasture and ten acres would be better.
Bermuda is not the best pasture for
hogs and our experience teaches that
hogs or such pasture will require
quite a liberal grain ration to give the
best results.
