Breeding Fall Pigs.
E. W. Monnier in Breeders Gazette.

T. w Monnier in Breeders Gazette
Raising fall pigs seems to me neces-
sity, both to the pork-raiser and profess
sional breeder; and to the farmer because
of the increased demand for light hogs.
In order to meet this demand it becomes
necessary 10 breed some fall pigs in order
to receive some returns from the hog crop
on the farm oftener than once a year.
Besides it has been clearly demonstrated
often that ii breeder can raise two 200-lb
hogs for less than he can one 400-lb hog,
so the present demand seems blessing to
the pork-raiser. To the professional
breeder there are two very important rea-
sons for raising fall pigs. One is the de
mand for breeding stock that is matured
or nearly SO before time for mating, and
the other the demand for yearling boars
which by many breeders as well as farmers
are preferred | do not have so much
faith in these yearling bears as | once had,
for experience has often demonstrated to
me that just as good results come from
using boars eight to ten months old on
sows of same age, and this is particularly
true when stock has been literally fed.
Another important reason for breeding
early and often is the tendency of sows to
become barren when allowed to 90 for
four or five months open after weaving
their pigs | have often thought that |
could breed my sows for best results by
raising three filters in two years from each
sow, or a litter every eight months. |
think no sow should be bred until pigs
have been weaned for at least month or
longer, especially if she is much reduced
in flesh. Sows that farrow early litters,
say in February and early March, | would
breed for fall litters but would breed them
to farrow no later than October 10 for
this latitude so that the little fellows could
have six to eight weeks growth before
severe cold weather sets in. Any sow that
loses her spring litter (if considered her
valuable as "A breeder) | would breed at
once for fall litter
have never had trouble with sows not
coming in heat and should not waste much
time with such unless | considered them
especially valuable as breeders. | have
often had trouble getting young sows with
pig and in one instance carried one whole
year and then succeeded She has since
proved regular and valuable breeder.
Bonnie Wilkes (the best sow pig ever
raised from mating Harry Wilkes with
Bonnie May, and one of the most desirable
yearling sows | ever owned, although
carefully mated all last winter and to three
different boars failed to get in pig. Not
willing to give her up turned her on grass
and in June bred her again and she got in
pig at first service and bids fair to be a
valuable sow. She was the only sow pig
in the litter and the last litter from Bonnie
May. This sow was the largest one | ever
owned, being by that great boar Comet, so
that Bonnie Wilkes [ considered of great
value | thind it is in this way (by per-
severance) that we often prove that sows
that would ordinarily be called barren are
made useful brood sows.

A Free Martin.

A farmer sends the Chambersburg( Pa.
Spirit the following for publication
When a COW produces twin calves of
different sex, the heifer is called free
martin. The free martin is usually barren,
and there has been much discussion as to
whether she ever has calf. The truth
is that she is occasionally but not very
often as good a breeder as any COW, but
if the free martin resembles in general APP
pearance bull, if she has short, thick
neck and heavy square head, with short,
straight horns, she will be barren. In
this case sell her to the butcher, first fat
tening her well.

Alaska's Size.

Some idea of the size of Alaska may be
formed when it is known that it contains
an area of SIT, 800 square miles. This
is more than twice the area of Texas
Twelve states of the size of Pennsylvania
could be carved out of the Territory of
Alaska with enough left over to make a
state like South Carolina. Alaska is a
Territory of the United States 1t is
bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean,
east by the Northwest Territories of Cana
da, west and south by the Pacific Ocean
and Bering Sea, 1t includes the Alexan-
der, the Kadiak, the Aleutian, the Pribi-
lof and many other islands Its southern
most point is the southern extremity Of
Amatignak Island In 1S64-67 portions
Of the country were explored by employees
of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
with the design of running telegraph via
Bering Strait to the Old World; but the
success of the Atlantic telegraph caused
the ultimate failure of this project In
1867 the territory called Russia-America
was purchased from Russia for 81, 200,

LINES ON A PET MALTESE
KITTEN.

All thy brightness and thy sweetness.
All thy lightness and thy heetness,
Make Us wonder,
Make us ponder,
ofthy home in wave-washed Malta.
Where without halt or falter,
Roam today in coats Of blue.
Under skies OF heavenly hue,
Kitties Just as sweet % as you.
Dear Malt, these lines but show in part
The grateful kindness of my heart.
Accept, my dear, with praises due
Ny loving estimate Of you;
Under thy silken coat doth live
The heavenly attribute, forgive:
Affection there has placed throne
Built and held by her alone;
Playfulness, a daily guest,
Always puts thee at thy best;
And the vilest, meanest slur
Can be Cancelled by thy purr
But my dear the words and praises
Entangled in these awkward phrases
Must be followed by advice
Which cats must take as well as mice.
Remember now in sober truth,
The best of life is always youth.
Remember, too, the coming years
win prey upon thy feline fears
The sweetness of thy present life
May give way to dreadful strife;
Some wicked cat though now remote,
May come to tear thy pretty coat.
But, blue-skin DEAR these words of gloom
Are not to Gull thy present bloom.
Live and let live, thy motto be.
And happiness will dwell with thee.
