About the Hog.

Must our breed of hogs be abandon
ed? For century or more the hog has
been bred for IAN aptitude to fatten,"
until it has been brought to form in
which the snout is disappearing and
its body is too heavy for it's legs. Fat
has been the object, and also attained,
but it is claimed that the hog has been
so changed that it is now more sus-
ceptible to disease than formerly, while
the quality of the flesh has diminished.
One breeder in the West crossed his
Poland Chinas with razor back
from Georgia, and reports that his pigs
are harder and the bacon brought bet
ter prices. In England and Canada the
farmers are using boars of the Tam
worth breed, which produce more lean
meat than fat, and the bacon from the
hogs so produced brings from Is to II
cents per pound in England, while that
from the United States, abounding in
fat, brings from 6 to cents per pound.
The celebrated Smithville hams, from
Isle of Wight County, Virginia, which
have held their reputation in market
for half century, are from the "razor-
back" breed, and the Irish breakfast
bacon is from hogs of the Tamworth
and active Irish breeds.

GAME AS LUXURY.

Americans Learning that 1t Has Ad
vantages Over Other Meats.
'In the appreciation of game we have
been more tardy, perhops, than in 9th
er directions" writes Ella Morris
Kretschmar in the Woman's Home
Companion. "The mechanic, day-la-
borer, the humblest and poorest, in
nearly all parts of our land, have ever
had at their command a ducal feast.
Our very riches have made us indiffer
ent-influenced somewhat by the fact
that on all the frontiers, and in early
times in each State game has been of
necessity the chief food. 1t has never,
therefore, been luxury. But travelled
Americans, having come to share in
the estimate put upon wild meats by
the epicures of the world, have so in
cited good hyers at home that game is
at a premium in our city markets; and
in rural districts appreciation grows as

can important point not to be for.
gotten is that game has the added ad-
vantage of being the food for jaded ap-
petites and weakened stomachs. While
fully as nourishing, it is more easily
digested than other meats.
"In the cooking of game few essen
tial points must ever be borne in mind.
First, and chiefly, that the natural fla
vors must not be disguised by spices or
other pronounced seasonings. There
are sauces which bring out the game
flavor instead of impairing it, and such

grouse in form so elaborate that only
a naturalist or chef could determine its
character; but let us remember that
simplicity is the highest art in the
cooking of game. Even the accom-
panying vegetables should be selected
with a view to supplementing its fla
vors-never interfering with them.
1.-The second point to remember is to
guard against overlooking. All game,
especially the dark-feshed, is better
in favor, and digests more easily, rare
than we'll done. 1t is not necessary to
carry this point to the extent affected
by gourmets, who eat their game hall

SauirreIs in Corn Cribs.

Wherever squirrels are prevalent,
care should be taken to prevent them
from getting at the seed corn. ltis not
a good plan 10 hang the seed corn In the
crib, as the open, Slated sides to allow
ventilation the squirrel can easily enter,
and his agility makes it impossible to
keep seed corn from him, no matter
how carefully it is braided and hung
where neither rats nor mice can get at
it. The squirrel does not care for the
bulk of corf in the crib. He is very
dainty in his food, and is sure to take
that which is hung up, and carefully
dried for seed. The provoking part Of
it is that he destroys far more corn
than he eats. He cares only for the
chit or germ, leaving all the rest as
only fit for hog feed.-Exchange.

James Bain's Heroism.

James Balm, chief engineer Of the
ill-fated steamer State of Florida, not
only risked his life, but deliberately
sacrificed it, to save a woman. The
disaster was most pitiful. The steam
er collided with bark in mid ocean,
and both vessels sank almost immedi-
ately. Only two men were saved from
the bark, and only 4 handful of passen-
gers and part of the ships company
from the steamer. Balm was safely in
one of the e-boats, which was about
to cast off, as there were as many peo-
pie in it as it could hold. At that
moment he saw woman at the steam
er's rail. She was too daZed to move.
The steamers deck was almost level
with the water. Balm deliberately left
his place in the boat, stepped onto
the steamers deck, lifted the woman
over the taffrail, placed her on the seat
he had occupied, cast off the boat, and
went down with the steamer. Every

The Shropshire Ram.

The Wisconsin station found that by
using selected, well-bred Shropshire
ram with ordinary ewes excellent re-
suits could be obtained. The lambs
we're dropped in March, and in April
were given oats, bran and corn meal.
In. July ground peas We're given in
place of cornmeal and in September
the quantity of peas was doubled until
October, when oilmeal was added. The
roughage was clover hay all summer,
little green clover and some rape. The
result was that yearling lambs (over
one year, weighed 220 pounds live
weight and lambs dropped last March
weighed 120 pounds in November. 1t
is possible that if the eve lambs are
retained and mated with a pure-bred
Shropshire ram better results can be
obtained next year!

The Cabbage Stem Rot.

This disease has been fully deter
mined by DR.. Edwin f. Smith, of the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, to be caused by bacteria. The dis
ease can be induced in healthy plants
by inoculating them with the germs.
There is no remedy for plants so dis
eased, but the disease only appears
when cabbages have been planted two
or more years in succession on the same
land. By planting, therefore, on new
land, or where some other crop has
been raised the previous year, the dis
ease does not prevail.-Vick's Monthly.

Good Horses.

Good horses are essential to prosper
ity in any country, and American farm
ers are every year now losing the best
markets of the world by not breeding
high-class draft and coach horses to
supply the city and export markets.
Most of these markets wait five or ten
years forsfarmers to breed up and ma
ture good horses. Those who get the
good mares will be first to get into mar
ket with good horses, and those who
have to grade up will find it a long way
off. There are but few good mares left
and still less stations, not enough to
supply the demand when breeding be-
gins.-Western Agriculturist.

To Make Hedge Fences.

have on my farm 134 rods of Usage
orange hedge. Up to the end Of the
fourth year, at which time it was
good fence, it cost me 81 per rod. Some
farmers consider a hedge a nuisance,
but if given the proper attention this
is not so. The chief aim in making a
hedge fence is to have it tight near the
bottom. To accomplish this set the
plants five inches apart. The secret
in getting good fence is to get good
start of plants at the first setting. The
soil should be rich or heavily ma
nured. Cultivate the same as corn.
1t is a difficult task to keep hedge
within prescribed limit. Start it
three feet high and six inches thick,
then trim closely eacL time. In spite
of careful work the width will increase
so that a periodical reduction by cut
ting off some of the old wood is neces-
sary every few years. Two trimmings
a season are usually sufficient except
during a wet summer, when growth is
rapid Cut when the shoots are yet
tender, damp, rainy weather being
preferable. One man can trim mile
day if done at the proper time. A care
less or lazy farmer should not think of
growing a hedge, for he will not take
care of it.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Burning Potato Tops.

Much of the difficulty from rot in the
potato crop comes from the general neg
lect to destroy the potato tops SO soon
as the crop is harvested. Potato rot
is a fungous disease which fastens first
upon the leaves and stems of the pota-
toes, and is thence washed into the soil
by rains. 1t causes rot when it reaches
the tuber. 1t is known that the germs
of the disease adhere to potato stems
and leaves until they are destroyed.
and this can only be surely done by
burning them. Yet we have known
farmers to carry potato tops to the
barnyard to be used as bedding, and
composted with the excrement there
dropped. No better means for prOpa
eating potato rot could be devised than
this, unless it be feeding rotting pota-
toes to stock and leaving the unea ten
portions to be trodden into the manure
