Lean Hogs.

A correspondent Of the National Pro-
Visioner in discussing lean hogs for
the British trade says: / have been
preaching the same thing since the
year 1876, when first got my eyes
opened to this subject. At that time /
was packing hogs and shipping live
stock across the water. was much
struck with the appearance of the live
hogs which 1 saw in Liverpool, Man
chester, Sheffield and other markets In
England. My brother is in the live
stock business there, and handles large
quantities Of Irish, Danish and English
hogs. One day passed the remark to
him that the hogs in those markets
were of very poor quality and not
tit to compare with the hogs OF our
country. Long legged, long backed,
slab sided, lobe cared razorbacks could
not be sold in our markets at any
price.
My description of those hogs did not
meet my brothers. views, and he taunt-
ingly dared me to bring some Of our
fancy American hogs over, as he had
not seen any Of our fancy bacon to
warrant my boasting. On my next
trip 1 took sample lot Of the best
could get, which consisted Of 200 Of
as fine young hogs as could be got to-
gether, weight $50 pounds and thor
oughbred Berkshires. 1 took them over
on the steamer along with sheep and
horses. The hogs landed in fine condi-
ton and looked fully as well If not bet
ter than when first put on board at
Montreal, but how shall I express my
surprise on their being landed to see
the disgust on my brothers face as
soon as he saw the hogs. He welcomed
me by telling me l knew nothing
about hogs" and that he was at loss
to know what to do with them. They
were no good for the Liverpool or Lon
don market. He would divide them In
to two lots, himself taking 100 to Shelf
field and taking 100 to Manchester,
he telling me what salesman's hands
to put them IN. When yarded in among
lot of Irish hogs, with their lobe
ears and deep slab sides, my hogs went
up 3 cents per pound in my estimation,
but on being sold did not fetch as much
by two cents as my slab sided friends.
was not yet satisfied, but saw them
killed and cut alongside of Irish hogs.
We were not in 1t, as any butcher or
packer could see at glance; there was
no excess Of fat in the Irish hog; bel
lies deep, thick and full of lean meat,
back thin and full Of meat of good
color and fine grain, fat firm and white,
hams lean, but hog full of leaf lard; in
fact, better leaf lard than was in my
excessively fat hogs. 1 found 1 had
something to learn about hogs yet.
The hogs they cross with in England
are the Yorkshire and Tamworth. AS
to feeding, there is no question. This
is from actual experience, as far as
quality of pork goes-oats first, peas
and barley next, then wheat and last
corn.

judges Of dairy cows, as good as e1-
pert feeders Of steers are in selecting
steers that will feed to good purpose.
The trouble is that we all thought not
80 very long ago that good beefy COW
would put the feed into flesh when
dry and into milk when in milk anu
beat any other COW at both jobs. we
have most of us found out by painful
experience that this is not 80, all OF u.s.
except some few writer's that don't 90
any milking.
And most of us have had to ADJUST
our reckonings with no chart or COM
pass Of the new course. We have
found that the fat, blocky COW Is not
the good dairy COW, and what we turth-
er want to know is in what particular
respects the dairy cow differs in form
and appearance from the beef animal
frequently visitors select from our
nerd what they think the best COW.
Nearly half Of them pick out one Oh
the very worst as the best in the herd
but many hit upon the right one. the
two are pretty fair types of the two
different classes Of cows except in color,
both being of the prevailing Jersey
color. But one has the dairy form. as
1t Is now called by modern dairymen,
and the other is fine handsome COW
considered simply as an animal.
Prof. Curtiss has sent the score card
as recently revised. which is used by
the students. We make room for the
leading points, with the scale:
Form-Wedge shaped Z, quality, hair
fine, soft, skin mellow, secretion yellow
., temperament, nervous 4; objections,
thick Aeshy form, coarse coat or hard
handling.
Head and Neck-Eyes full, mild,
bright 8, forehead broad, face lean 2,
neck fine, lean, medium length 2.
Observation-Disclosures lean, Shout
ders light, lean, oblique 2.
Body.-Chest low, deep wide 8, ribs
broad, long, wide apart, large barrel g.,
back lean, nearly straight, open jointed
4, loin broad and strong 5, navel large
and firm 2. Objections, narrow chest,
close ribs, fleshy back or weak loins.
Hindquarters-Hil wide apart,
strong 2, rump long, wide 2, thighs
thin, spare, long 5, escutcheon high
and wide 2, udder long, fat under sur
face, attached high, full behind, quar-
ters large and even but not fleshy Is,
teats large, evenly placed and of good
form 4, milk veins tortuous 4, milk
wells large and open 2, legs straight
and far apart 8. Objections, narrow
hips and rump, small escutcheon, deep
or contracted udder, teats close togeth-
er or uneven, milk veins and wells
small, legs coarse or close together.
There are other minor points not men
toned in this extract, the whole max
ing 100 points and credited in the gen.
eral divisions as follows: General ap-
pearance 20, head and neck 10, fore
quarters 5, headquarters 40. OF course
it will not be claimed that this score
card is perfect for all kinds of cows,
but students who are made proficient in
its use will have some foundation prin-
ciples that would be very useful to all
of US.

How to Hoe.

Somebody ought to establish a hoeing
school and teach our young people and
our hired men how to use hoe, is the
opinion of writer in Pomona Her
aid. It makes me sick when see how
our help do this important work. The
fundamental error with them is to
think that the purpose Of hoeing is to
kill weeds and nothing else. Conse-
quently they just skip over the surface.
trying to hit the weeds, and If no weeds
happen to be there the spot is skipped
over untouched. When the job is done
our man or men think the weeds are
done for; but in few days the ground
is again we'll occupied. The fact is
this scraping over the surface is not by
any means the best way to kill weeds,
and 1t amounts to nothing much in
other respects. A good hoeing should
touch and stir the whole surface, and
freshen 1t, and give the weeds such a
setback that they will not recover
from it in long time. When 1 hoe
1 let the hoe go In cornerwise, and
when get done there is no spot that
is left with the old crust on. whether
there were weeds or not. The fresh
ground, soon after hoeing, looks smooth
and clean and attractive. There is an
inch Of well-pulverized soil all over the
whole surface, and the plants, thus
surrounded by fresh, moist, loose soil,
seem to be grateful and respond with
quickened growth.

To Protect the Bass.

Mr.. Joseph S. Miller, until recently com.
missioner Of internal revenue, and now en-
gagged in business here as the representative
OF the American Banking and Loan Asso'
citation Of Baltimore, is an ardent disciple OF
the rod and line, and an expert In every
thing relating to fish and the way to care
for and protect them as well as to catch
them. He has been President Cleveland's
companion on nearly all the fishing trips
where bass and trout were the objects, and
If the truth were told it would probably be
found that his strings were as big in size and
number as those of Mr.. Cleveland himself.
Conversing with Star reporter this morn
ing, Mr.. Miller emphasized the necessity
of protecting the bass in the Potomac river.
"An organization should be formed here
in Washington" he said, with the sole Oh
ject of making the Potomac what 1t can be
easily made-the finest fishing stream in
the world. An organization such as would
favor would be composed OF gentlemen of
influence who would have the means OF
carrying out their intentions. mean moral
means. There is no reason why there should
be any membership dues or any other ex
pense attached to it. l would not contine
the membership to citizens of Washington,
but would secure the active co operation of
gentlemen in Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia who are men OF weight IN their
States and who could secure from their State
legislatures harmonious legislation for the
protection of the Potomac and Its fish The
legislatures OF Virginia and Maryland have
passed measures to prevent the catching OF
bass by any other other means than hook
and line and forbidding fishing above Little
Falls in the spawning season. To become
operative in all the waters where the Poto
mac bass lives the West Vsginia legislature
which meets this winter must pass similar
law, which am confident it will,
"There should be some specific means"
he continued, ITO make such laws operative,
and believe such an organization as sug
gest would be able to procure them by Sc
curing additional legislation TO that effect.
Would join such clubp Most willingly,
and I'm sure every man who loves fishing
would do so also. If some co operative plan
is not soon adopted the Potomac will will
be ruiEed as fishing stream beyond re-
