Until yesterday it was an uncertainty
whether James w. Scoggins, the U. G.
Splinter, who did such phenomenal work
last year, would accompany the team
which leaves for the East next Thursday
posal OF the manager.
Yesterday morning Colonel George Ed
wards and several others commenced to
solicit loan from the students with which
to pay the expenses of Scoggins, and be-
fore night they had secured $135. 1t is now
an assured thing that he will go, and there
is yet possibility of sending Brown, the
mile runner. The addition of Scoggins'
name to the list makes eleven men who
will contest with Eastern athletes.
An Unknown Mans Body.
Late this afternoon word was received
by Ed Donnely, foreman of the Alameda
Water Company Berkeley that the dead
body of an unknown man had been found
on the companys property near Wildcat
Creek, Contra Costa County. The dis
covery was made by Spanish boy who
was herding cattle in the neighborhood.
He stated that he thought the man had
been dead for about two weeks and that
the coyotes had eaten away one side of his
face. No examination of the body was
made, but word was sent at once to the
Coroner of Contra Costa County at Mar
tinez of the discovery.

which 10 the Best Breed for Smokehouss
Purposes
Where there exists so very much
honest and persistent diversity of opin-
ion among swine breeders touching the
above query, 1t will be impossible to
settle such an important question to
the satisfaction Of all the readers OF
the SWINE Breeder. But, notwithstand-
ing such conditions, 1t may not be
amiss to SO examine the matters sug-
gested and thereby set thinking ma
chimes in motion which may result in
practical experiments and resulting
progress.
In this article no breed or breeds will
be named. but the better kind OF ami
mails for the purpose will be de-
scribed and the readers are left
TO determine whether the adj
herents of any one breed can sue
cessfully claim a pre-eminence for
their favorite, for it may be truthfuly
said that between different animals OF
the same breed are often found as
radical opposites In good bacon pro-
ducirg qualities Is between those Of
different breeds.
1t Is not the intention to here dis
cuss the question as to whether the
best bacon producing animal Is the
most profitable one, bat , describe as
nearly as practical the essential quali-
ties Of the best bacon-producer. In
such description color is not involved,
but form of the body, texture of flesh.
age and condition are the matters de-
manding careful consideration. As 10
doubtless well known, the bacon
pieces are obtained from the sides of
the carcass of swine and the size and
construction of such pieces are mat
ters which assist in answering the
conundrum under consideration.
The essentials for the production of
the best quality Of bacon are the rela-
tive proportion Of the fat to the lean
portions, the firmness Of the fat por-
tions, and the tenderness of the lean
parts. The lean portion consists of
the muscles Of the body passing along
the sides and belly. These muscles
were not created for the purpose of
making bacon. bat 70 support the belly
The Van Buren press., 1895-11-09

and In some measure 10 assist In the
movements Of the internal organA u
IL . universal rule that the use OF all
muscles develop their size, and lack
OF use causes them to perish. 1t 10
equally true that the more animals
are upon their feet and in active mo-
tion the more such muscles will be In
use; and II 10 further true that all
swine have the same number OF mus.
clea It therefore follows that in
long narrow body the side muscles
must be nearer together than in the
short, deep-bodied animals.
It Is true that the width or thickness
of the muscles may. and do, exert some
influence as to the proximity OF the
several muscles Of the sides, but not
sufficient to affect the fact that they
are much closer together In the long.
round body than in the short deep,
fiat-sided animal. Fine hair indicates
fine skin. and fine skin indicates fine
tissues, especially of the fat tissues.
In round-bodied animals the excess Of
fat stored up is placed much more
plentifully upon the back than in fat
sided animals, and in such cases the
round-bodied animals fat is, as rule,
firmer than the fiat-bodied ones
Age and condition have also an In
fiuence. in that the younger animals
usually produce muscles that are
tender as compared with aged ami.
mails Quickly-fattened animals also
produce more tender meat than
those that are always fat An
animal that is too fat is not SO
good for bacon as one that has only q
moderate amount thereof. Sows that
have suckled pigs are not good bacon
producers because the portions covered
by the udder is more or less impaired,
but that difficulty may be more than
counterbalanced by the extended use
of and growth of the belly muscles
during the carrying period.
Assuming that the foregoing state
ments are true 1t is easy to conclude
that 1t is the long. round-bodied. fine-
haired and frm-feshed, moderately
fatted animal from ten to eighteen
months of age that make the best
bacon-producers There are in every
breed such animals in q greater or
lesser degree, and by care and selec-
tion such strains of animals can be
easily produced by care in selecting
and mating.-Cor. American SWINE

FEEDING FOWLS,
How Much Feed Per Hen 10 the Proper
Caper?

How Much Feed Per Hen 10 the Proper
Caper?
How much feed should hen be al
lowed SO as to give her enough and
yet not overfeed her ? That is diff
cult question to answer. although it is
frequently asked. Before attempting
70 give an estimate for a ration we
will present the following points:
1. No two hens are alike; one will
eat more food than will its compan-
ious.
2. A hen that is producing eggs re-
quires more food than a uon-layer, and
yet the non-layers may secure the
larger share
8. Brahmas are larger than Leghorns
and eat more food. One Brahma hen
may also eat more than another hen OF
the same breed.
4. A hen may eat greedily to-day and
yet eat but little tomorrow. Appetites
differ and vary with hens the same as
with humans.
s. A hen may eat largely of grain one
day and prefer some other food the
next day.
6. A quart Of corn per day for ten
hens is the estimate, but II the hens
eat grass, worms or other foods, the
amount must be deducted from the
grain. How can 1t possibly be done?
2. A quart Of corn per day may be
the correct amount for one flock of ten
hens, while another flock may consume
two quarts.
8. 1t is, therefore, impossible to
measure out a certain quantity of food
as a regular ration for a flock. as the
amount of food required can only be
known after the hens have eaten.
Q. The best way to feed is to give
about one-half as much as you may
suppose they may require In the morn
ing. Then scatter millet seed (about
ia tablespoonfuD in leaves and litter, SO
as to make them work by scratching.
This will keep them warm, harden the
flesh and promote their appetites. At
night give them all they will eat
When each hen has enough she will
walk away from the food. When the
last hen has finished her meal remove
the food that is left over In
other words weigh tho food, give
II to the hens. and when each
hen has eaten, all having left the food,
weigh that which remains. You will
then know just how much dozen
hens will eat at a meal. The next
morning give only one-half as much as
they ate, so as to have them somewhat
hungry, and to induce them to scratch.
This is the only way to know much
food to give.
TO- Foods also vary, and 1t is not al
ways an easy matter to procure two
lots Of foods that are alike in quality,
and no two hens will eat the same
amount of food nor the same kind as
readily as they will other foods.
IL. The point Is not to overfeed.
This is where the most mistakes are
made. When hen is overfed she be.
comes lazy and sluggish, is subject to
indigestion, becomes too fat, and will
lay but few eggs. Soft-shell eggs or
double-yolk eggs indicate that hens
are overfed.
IL. Keep sharp grit before the hens.
Also keep cigar-box filled with
ground bone mot bone meal) where
they can help themselves. II you want
eggs, reduce the grain supply and give
more lean meat and cut clover hay,
sealded Bran, middlinRs, milk, cab.
bage, potatoes, etc. or any variety OF
food, will also be an advantage. -Poul.
