FOUNDATION STOCK.
A Subject That Should Be Studied by
Every Progressive Breeder.

Every Progressive Breeder.
AS foundation principle, says Prof.
Morrow, we want to use for the sire and
dam hogs that have those characteris-
tics we desire and have those fixed by
good breeding. It is in accordance with
the best practice and with the best
theory that, given reasonable purity of
breeding, it is more important to have
an additional merit in the sire and dam
than in the more remote ancestry, and
so, in descending scale, as wego back.
If we will bear in mind that in going
back only ten generations, we are each
of us carrying the blood of 1924 men and
women in our veins, if there have been
no intermarriage of relations, we will
see we need not worry about what our
tenth parental ancestor was. So when a
man tells me the good points of GER
tain breed of hogs way back in 1900 it
don't carry much weight. AS rule,
we had better look to the individual
| merit He thinks we make mistake
in breeding when we insist upon get
ting coarseness, perhaps length of body,
in the dam and look for compact and
possibly slightly effeminate male
Among hogs the male, as rule, is
! coarser than the female.
There may wisely be a distinction
made in the practice of the professional
breeder and the common breeder who is
raising hogs, not for breeding purposes,
but to be sold in the market. Let the
first, as far as possible, breed from ma
ture stock. Let him see that his hogs
get good deal of exercise. Prof. Nor
row has no faith whatever in the wis
dom of the practice of combining any
animal designed for breeding purposes
without exercise, summer or winter.
On the other hand he would not have
the farmer who breeds hogs for the
general market be overly careful. It
will not do to say that it is wise for him
to breed only from mature animals. He
will not do it, and as rule he would
| make less money if he did. If he will
renew his stock from the skillful pro-
fessional breeder he will make more
money by breeding from comparatively
young animals, and as soon as may be
turning off the dams for pork, than he
| will by following the practice so impor.
| tant to the professional breeder. It will
be wise for the producer of the pig that
he wants to sell for pork, to feed liber.

this manger are a saving of space, no
feed can be wasted, and there is no
place in which the refuse parts of the
feed may collect. The seed and chaf

this support from the top and the stalks
roll out upon the floor, from whence
they may easily be carried wherever de-
sired; they thus never become an an
royance in the manure. When hauling
hay into the barn this support (m) may
be dropped SO as to be entirely out of
the way. Withal it is cheap in its con-
struction. The rods in front of the

DICKMAN'S BEE-FEEDER.

A, slot IS IN. wide, cut entirely through

to IL are slots cut Is in. wide, IL in. deep,
to hold feed. This to be covered with
screen, which is raised by placing 1a-in.
strips around edge and across center.
other slots, six on each side of the CEN
ter slot, three-eighths of an inch wide,
are cut ia inches deep, and out as near
each end as possible; one-eighth inch of
wood is left between the slots for the
bees to crawl up on and to keep them
from drowning.
These center walls, save the one on
each side Of the center slot, have a
portion cut away, down as deep as the
slots are cut, which permits these slots
to fill evenly though the feed be poured
ut one place. Small strips one-half
inch thick are nailed around the edge
and one across the center; over this
a piece Of common door screening,
cut to fit, is placed, and another small
strip one-eighth inch thick is nailed
t. hold the screen in place.
These feeders were placed over each
colony by cutting a small strip out of
the burlap and placing the center slot
so as to come between, or rather d.
rectly over, the space between two
combs in the lower story. We believe
this feeder to be as good as any we
have yet seen, as you can feed at any
time without the bees being able to
come out of the hive. If the feeder is
full of bees it matters not, as you can
pour your iced right on them and fill
the feeder if you wish, and not a bee
VIII be drowned. If you wish to stop
feeding and the feeder is full of bees,
simply place the feeder on the ground,
bottom side up, and the bees will soon
return to the hive. But we have di-
crossed.
White clover yielded very poorly at
first, but got some better, until crop
Of $500 pounds was taken by the ex-
tractor. Then we had short cessation.
when the Eastwood flow began, and a
crop of 1900 pounds was harvested
and the honey from 222 stands rot re-
moved, which (if it had been removed)
would have swelled the entire crop to
over 1000 pounds. Two tons of this
honey would have sold at 1O@121h cents
per pound, and nearly one ton on hand.
There is considerable capital invested,
but this crop did not take three months
work of one man.
The query did it pay?' seems to be
very easily answered. One load of 1900
shipped a few days ago brought as
much as 300 bushels of wheat, or 900
bushels of oats. or $1,000 pounds of
corn. Whether it paid or not, we think
you can find us next year as in the past
20 years-still in the business.-Jacob

"'TIP IT."

A Trivial Pastimo Popular Among Lam
csshire Gamblers.

AS the Lancashire man Of sporting
tendency must have wager on every

quently in substantial sums. Indeed,
says London Answers, there is a recog-
nized champion player of Tip it," who
is open to back himself for & IS to click
creation"
And this is how it is played: The
rival players take q button, or some
small article, and sit on opposite sides
Of table. The beginner puts his
hands under the table, and, taking the
button in one of them, raises his closed
fists into view, and the business of the
other is to say in which hand the button
is held. The button changes sides as it
is found, and the game goes on until the
points are reached.
It is often played with two or four 4
side, and the champion will meet a
dozen at a time, and discover the hand
holding the button by sort Of instinct.
The position of the thumbs decides
whether the game is ''coddam" or I'll
it." On this trivial pastime hundreds
of pounds change hands every year in
some parts of Lancashire.

A Hairy ROy.

The greatest curiosity Of western
France is a modern Esau, in the person
of Leon Fernerod. the nine-year-old
son of we11-to-do parents living in the
little village of Vindieq. The boy was
born in May, 1856, and from the day OF
his birth has been covered with a heavy
growth of curly, straw-colored hair.
Several attempts have been made to
remove this queer hirsute growth, but
SO far all such attempts have been in
vain. The boy dislikes very much to
be caled the hairy boy" and even his
parents are said to be very sensitive
on the subject.

Experience of an Ohio Apiarist of Twenty
Years Standing.
On April 2, '95, we removed so stands
of Italian bees from our cellar to their
summer stands, and found that there
had been no loss except in the weaken
ing of some colonies and the loss of
three queens. We Immediately gave the
bees that had lost their queens to the
weakest colonies, leaving us AZ stands.
To these we added five more by pur-
chase at $3.50 each. Having IT'S pounds
ola poor grade of honey, and as all were
getting scarce of honey, we invented a
feeder of our own, and during the scar
city of honey between apple bloom
and white clover, we placed feeder
over each colony and fed them some
of this poor honey every evening, which
brought them up good and strong in
bees until the commencement of the
white clover crop. This feeding pre-
vented the cessation of egg laying by
the queen, and consequently our hives
were full of brood, larvae and eggs, and
the new honey from clover was placed
in the extracting combs, which were
now put in readiness for the expected
honey flow.
Perhaps description of our feeder
would be of benefit to some brother
beekeeper. It is made of two-inch
pine, cut 7x14 inches. In the center:
lengthwise, slot three-eighths of an
inch in width is cut through and to
within an inch of each end. Then 10

The Sheep and the Ticks.

At the Wisconsin experiment station
they have this winter dipped sheep
when the temperature was down to
zero and below. Their reason for dip
ping was that the sheep had been col
lected from many points and some of
them were found to be infested with
ticks. They did not consider it of
any use to try to feedwhile the animals
we're thus covered with parasites. All
of our farmers that have sheep will do
well to take the hint, and give their
focl1s the benefit of an inspection, and,
if the need exist. of dipping in any
reliable sheep dip. It is not desirable
to feed lot of sheep, that the latter
may in turn feed a lot of ticks. The
time spent in Kidding them of the YER
min will be well paid for in the added
thrift of the anjmals.-Farmers Re
