COLOR MARKINGS.
Ohio Method of Identifying Blooded Hogs
That Change Hands.

Ohio Method of Identifying BIooded Hogs
That Change Hands.
The Ohio Poland China Record COM
pany has adopted a method of identi-
tying hogs beyond doubt by their color
markings. In animals that have been
bred pure for generations the different
spots, stripes and splashes of color can
be easily traced and described, as a
white foot, white hairs on rump or spot
ON shoulder, etc. A chart containing
such color description in addition to its
pedigree given along with hog when
1t is sold and accompanying it through
every change of ownership would be a
means of fixing its identity positively.
Such charts the record company uses in
connection with established earmarks.
MIR. L. N. Bonham describes in The
Breeders Gazette the card as follows:
The secretary has prepared forms of
pedigree on the back of which appear
blank outlines of the right and left sides
of pig. These blank outlines are also
on the stub of the pedigree kept by the
breeder. He gives instructions for the
breeder to ''take this blank and while
looking at the pig before shipping him
or sending his pedigree for record mark
on these outlines with pencil all the
points and spots as they appear on right
side and then on the left Before send
ing the pedigree mark with ink. solid
black, all these spots and points as they
appear on the pig 1t is believed that
such description will be more exactly

Scene In the Chamber Of Deputies With
the Members Enraged.
Upon arriving at the anteroom of the
chamber of deputies, says Colonel T.
W. Higginson in The Atlantic, I found
the hall full of people waiting, each
having to send his card to some mem
Der, naming on it the precise hour of
arrival. The member usually appeared
promptly, when an immense usher call
ed in stentorian voice for ssLa per-
some qui fait demander M. Constant
OR whoever it might be- Then the
constituent--for such it usually was
advanced toward the smiling AMember,
who never looked bored, the mask of
hospitality being probably the same in
this respect throughout the legislative
halls of the world. At last NJ Talan-
-dier appeared and got me place among
the corps diplomatique. The chamber
itself was more like our representatives
hall at Washington than like the house
of commons. The members had little
locked desks and some were writing
letters, like our representatives, though
saw no newspapers
The ordinary amount of noise was
like that in our congress, though there
was happily no clapping of hands for
pages, but when the members became
especially excited, which indeed hap
pened very often, it became like cage
of lions. For instance, entered just as
somebody had questioned the minister
of war, General Borel, about an alleged
interference with elections, and his de-
faint reply had enraged the Let's, or
radicals, who constituted the majority
Of the assembly. They shouted and ges-
ticulated, throwing up their arms and
then slapping them on their knees very
angrily, until the president rang his
great bell, and they quieted down lest
he might put on his hat and adjourn
the meeting. In each case the member
speaking took his stand in the desk or
tribune below the president, and the
speeches were sometimes read, some
times given without notes.
The war minister, a stout, red faced
man-always, the radicals say, half in
oxicated-stood with folded arms and
looked ready for coup d'etat, yet I
heard it said about me that he would be
compelled either to retreat or resign.
One saw at glance how much pro-
founder political differences must be in
France than with us.

Good Wax to- Pack Ice.

/ wish to give some experience in
packing ice which has proved success
full as we'll as valuable to us in the past
year. 1t is something new in the way OF
packing ice in this part of the country.
We were laughed at by nearly every
one, but the laugh was on the other side
when we had ice left over.
Now as to the way in which we put
it in, we kept waiting to get eight or
ten inch ice--waited until March Is,
and then only had four inches, but COM
menced to haul and put in house. We
unloaded with a scoop shovel; then two
of us staid in the house with axes and
broke the ice up SO as not to leave any
thing larger than goose egg. Kept on
until about two-thirds full, covered
with oat straw about IS inches deep and
waited for results. We were somewhat
surprised when we found it to be keep
ing better than when packed in cakes.
In getting out take pick and shovel
and work layer about foot thick
at time. think that it is less work to
pack and take out than cakes, but is not
SO nice to use, as it is mixed with chaff
and cannot well be washed. But it is
ahead of no ice for some things.
have thought that in places where
ice never gets thick enough for cakes
the above plan could be used. j. E. H.

work the butter five minutes and pack
at once. I use a reliable butter color. !"

Creamery Butter Makers association

For warts growing at the opening of
a cows teat, cauterize the wart with a
stick of nitrate of silver. Then while it
is sore use milking tube and rub the
cauterized spot once day with iodine
ointment.
A dairyman who has tried it by actual
comparison of two lots of COWS, one
coming fresh in the spring, the other in
the fall, finds that the fall COWS inva-
riably give the largest quantity of milk
the year round. The spring COWS are
great in their yield during the flush pas
ture months, but after that fall off rap
idly. The COWS coming fresh in Septem-
Der, October and November, on the other
hand, begin with fine flow of milk
then and keep it up till drying off time
comes This fact is we'll worth knowing
by those who must furnish given sup
ply Of milk the year round.
A process for making butter by a
patent method has been examined by
the chemists of the United States agri-
cultural department. It is process the
main feature of which is churning real
butter and real cream together and pro-
ducing solid. The department reports
that this resulting solid is not properly
butter. 1t contains large amount of
water, also greater quantity of solids
not fat than real butter contains. 1t
does not keep well. Do not invest in
this so called new process. There is
nothing that will take the place of pure
butter made honestly out of pure cream.
The more such butter-pure, sweet but
ter-made in the right way out of real
cream there is on the market the better
it will be liked by customers and the
more of it they will want.

Live Stock Points.

A breeder made the experiment of
feeding some milk cows and some fat
tening steers the same ration as to ma
terials. It consisted of bran, cornmeal
and oilmeal. He wished to find out
which it cost the most to produce
pound of butter or a pound of beef. He
noted each pound of gain made by the
steers, likewise each pound of butter the
cows produced. The result was that the
cost was for the beef, 8. cents; for the
butter, cents Thus it cost a trifle
more with the above feed to produce a
pound of beef than pound of butter,
which is worth at least four times as
much. Still. if everybody went to max
ing butter instead of beef the price oil
the butter would soon be lower than
that of beef
The price of $50, 600 recently paid for
the 2-year-old racing colt Hamburg, in
Kentucky, does not look as though the
trade In thoroughbreds was dead.
A pig is always ready for market at
10 months old, and it ought to be ready
at months.
At the Chicago fat stock show the
heaviest 2-year old steer was Hereford
that weighed 1880 pounds; the second
heaviest was an Aberdeen-Angus, i, 756
pounds; the third heaviest, Shorthorn,
1890 pounds. The Hereford won also
the sweepstakes prize.

expressed than is possible by words.
Holders of sales of their produce can do
buyers service and themselves great
credit not only by use of ear tags, but
also by indicating the color markings on
the outlines to be found on the back of
the pedigree This should all be done
before the day of sale and the pedigrees
filed out from their private records of
breeding, so that ON the receipt of pay
ment or note for the animal there is
nothing to add to the pedigree but the
purchasers name and address and num-
Der of animal. The breeder who will go
even further and instead of so much
highfaluting and misleading superla-
tives will use simple outline of form
and add to this the color markings,
would close the door against many op-
portunities for fraud and give specific
and reliable information.
The idea is applicable not only to
identifying pigs offered for record, but
for accuracy and fullness of description.
We believe it is an effort in the right
direction. Its success depends largely
on the carefulness of the breeder who
may use it. He may think it desira-
BILE thing and yet not be skillful enough
with pencil or pen to show accurately
the size and location of markings He
also may not be skillful in use of his
pen as a letter writer, but he can find
those who can do such work if he wish
es to serve his customers as we'll as he
ought. The average breeder can give on
these outlines better idea of the num-
Der, location and size of the animals

TYpIcAL GUERNSEY cow.

common to see full grown Guernsey
COW with an udder within few inches
of five feet in circumference. They have
remarkably well shaped udders as a
breed In breeding dairy COWS one i'm
portant point is to select cow whose
udder runs far forward. This enables
her to walk with greater ease and to
have better support for the udder.
Guernsey COWS often give with first
calf SO pounds of milk day. 1t is
commonly over 25 per cent cream. The
aged COWS give sometimes as high as 81
pounds of milk of rich yellow tint,
which precludes the necessity of color
ing the butter made from it, The cham
pion claim for the Guernseys, it may
be remembered, is that they produce
more butter with less feed than any
other breed.
