Vigorous Growing Pigs.


An experienced Ohio swine grower
gives his own views and observation
in the selection of brood sows in the
Swineherd and says: The Importance
of vigor and prompt growth Of young
pigs is so great that In view of the
fact that our heaviest losses occur
among suckers and shoats in time Of
an epidemic, and also that the esti-
mated loss Of pigs at narrowing Is not
less than % per cent, we cannot afford
to encourage the practice of relying
on young sows for our feeders or
breeders. The safe course Is to Celecs
the best and test them in the breeding
pen and keep the good ones for breed
ing as long as they prove profitable.
The cross of the vigorous, well-bred
young o q Cd che mature SowS Will
generally result in profitable litters.
Some of the most noted show stock
came from such crosses, and some OF
the noted boars made their reputation
as sires in their first year of service.
Tbs stations and veterinarians do
we'll to warn farmers against the use
of immature bears and ows. Nor do
we wish to say a word that will weak
en- their teaching in this line, for it Is
one of safety as a means of protecting
our herds against the plague that has
desolated so many farms.
But, we cannot go so far rs to dis
courage altogether the S of young
boars of the right kind. They have
been most valuable TO the farmer, and
by judicious use of them they can be
used on the mature sows with safety
and great profit

experience both of these have some
thing 10 do with it. but by far the
most commo cause is churning at too
high Il temperature and then over
working in order to get out the butter

low 4 temperature as possible, the
buttermilk washed out, not worked out,
and the salt worked in just enough
to incorporate L with the butter the
chances of having streaky butter are
greatly leSSened.

STARTING IN

Am Authority ON Horse Breeding
Gives some Useful Hints.
Hark Comstock, a weH known writer
on horses, In a letter to the Country
Gentleman. has this to say on starting
right again In breeding horses on the
farm:
Horses are not going TO remain al
ways as low as they are now, and
though l do not look for any special
or general advance during the coming
year, the great falling of In breeding
must ultimately have its effect. l be-
lieve thar those who breed mares In
1897 will be met more than half way
Ey q keen demand for heir fOals OF
1898 by the time they approach a USE
full age.
If men of means who take interest in
horses, and feel a pride in the advance
ment Of their locality in the horse
breeding business, would take con-
certcd action, befor the present de
preston in prices has passed, to Sc
cure and bring into their neighb0r-
hoods and distribute among the farm
ers large numbers of desirable mares
aud FLIES, either by sale or on shares,
they would a few years hence find a
great field for the profitable introduc-
ton or nigh class stations, where now
the services of a good stallion would
be practically wasted. LIZ each farmer
were supplied with only as many
mares as he needed for the team work
of his farm while breeding from them,
so that he would have no idle ones to
support, his foals would lie raised ut
a minimum of cost, and he would be
ready to take advantage of future
booms in the horse market which are
sure TO come. 1t would. in fact, place
the farmers back in the position they
were before they sold their birthright,
twenty-five to thirty years ago; a po-
sition they could not hope to recover
by waiting to breed up from their pres
ent cold bred stock, in less than thirty
TO forty wears.

some Useful Stable Contrivanv

The American Agriculturist gives
the following arrangement for prevent
ing taifrubbing by horses in the stall.
The A~griculturist says:
Among other causes, high feeding
with heating food and but little exer-
else brings on an itching which makes
many horses rub their tails while In
the stable. The itching is often so Sc
we're that the hair is nearly all rubbed
from the upper side, giving them a
most decidedly unpleasant and ragged
appearance. This state of affairs
should be corrected by cooling food
and proper outward application. In
the meantime a very simple arrange
mcnt, similar to that shown in the en-
craving, from a sketch by l.. ID. Shook,
should be used. 1t is simply a frame
work of wood hinged to the side of the
stable Immediately back Of the stall,
and SO arranged that it may be folded
by pulling ON the rope. The ends
should project beyond the division of
the stalls and be about three feet from
the floor. If the animal is tied short,

MARINE Demonstrations ut New York
and DuIuth

New YORK. Oct. u. 49, Probably the
greatest and most gorgeous marine
spectacle as well as the most imposing
political demonstration that has ever
been witnessed in the United States
was the parade of vessels in New
York harbor under the auspices OF the
shipping and Industrial Sound Money
Association Of the Port of New York.
The parade was "A demonstration on
the part of business men and others
who favor the gold standard. Nearly
300 vessels, including every description
or river craft, made up the illuminat-
ed and decorated fiotilla, which ex-
tended for nearly seven miles along
the Hudson river and into the waters
OF the bay. All the vessels were bril-
liantly decorated with colored lights,
political devices and bunting. At the
battery a floating piece entitled The
Mckinley Bouquet was produced by
the simultaneous discharge of 1900
colored rockets.
Duluth, Oct. 27.--There was a great
Republican demonstration In Duluth.
1t was purely Of the railroad and
shipping interests. There was a
marine demonstration on the harbor
and lake in which thirty vessels par
ticipated, making a stately procession
a mile and a half long. The vessels
We're decorated and a constant stream
OF fireworks was burning. The demon
stratiOn was a novel and beautiful
sea picture. The harbor was lit by
burning chemicals on n Scow anchored
at the center of the bay. At the con-
clusion of the marine demonstration
and at a signal the whistles of the
boats were turned loose and all the
vessels in the harbor and all the loco
motives joined in the chorus, which
was kept up for ten minutes. The
noise was d%eafening and could he
heard for miles. The railroad and
shipping parade on Superior street
was the biggest eve seen in Duluth.
There were $500 men in line and the
parade covered twenty blocks.
