THE IDEAL, HOG


good many inquiries are constantly forth
coming as to which is the best breed of
hogs. 1t is a question which will ALWAYS
be answered in accordance with the favorite
leanlngs of the person responding, toward
one herd or against another An excellent
answer to the inquiry: How shall we attain
the ideal hog?" is made by the Farm. Stock
and Home, without reference to any par
ticular breed, and the suggestions contained
IN the answer are worthy of wide circula-
tion among those who are seeking like in
formation. This is what the writer says:
How shall we attain to the ideal hog
by carefully selecting and using a ration
OF proper proportions for growth. A com
mon complaint is; My hogs are not as large
er and smaller and have trouble at faTrow-
ing time so that l feel discouraged and am
tempted to quit the business. l ask. what
do you feed? The answer is corn and grass
IN summer, and some farmers do not fur
nish grass in the winter; 1t is corn, corn
corn. Here is one reason why their hogs are
and not in bone and muscle, and the con-
stitutien is weakened. l ask in regard tn
sows selected for breeding? They say that
we select those that look the best. usually
these are fne-boned compactly built and
fattest. l know of two purchasers who went
TO- breeder and looking at his pigs said:
They saw their sires and they agreed that
they were coarse and big enough; they werc
shown their dams, and exclaimed What
splendid lot of sows,' and looking them over
they selected one with the smallest bone
most compact. fattest and shortest sow in the
lot; The males used are of similar build
ana are led on corn; thus by feeding an
exclusive corn ration hogs are developed in
rat and as natural result the hog must be
reduced In size, and strength of bone and
muscle. Do'e ''''o
ITO develop bone and muscle in co,ts re
iced oats. Why not feed oats to pigs? We

muscles; why not to hogs for the same rea
son! II the farmer wants more bone food
oats; If he wants muscle and good consti
tuition, feed oats; If brood sows are getting
TOO rat and you have trouble at farrowine
time, feed oats; if you want pigs to grow
and develop into nice thrifty shoats' let
them run to oats at pleasure When tbe

NAVAL APPROPRIATION
 NEARLY COMPLETED.
Few Changes From the Estimates, and Then Only in the Line
 of Increases

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The na- val appropriation bill has been practi- cally completed by the House Commit tee on Naval Affairs, save as to the questions of increases in the navy, dry docks and armor plate. Chairman Bou- telle said tonight he might report the bill to the House on Saturday, and if not it will go in early next week.
 There have been few changes from the estimates, and the bill will involve in the neighborhood of 80, ,000, 900 aside from new vessels, drydocks and armor. The increases allowed are such as to meet the gradual development of the service. The general item for construc- ton and repair just passed on, aggre- gates s2, 800 900, identical with the esti- mates. This includes about S370000, a material increase, for improved ma chinery at the shops. The amount is exclusive of the specific appropriations to the various construction plants, etc. There is a horizontal appropriation proposed of $50 900 to each of the yards, except the Puget Sound station, in lieu of the general estimate of sS00,000. The appropriations for the naval academy at Annapolis go through practically untouched.
 There was long discussion in com mittee to-day over the additional land wanted for the Port Royal, S. C., sta tioli, but an appropriation of s20,300 for the purposes was finally allowed.

WHALEBACK FLEET
 FOR WAR VESSELS.
Thirty-fve Monster Lake Steamships Which Could Be Added to
 the Navy

NEW YORK, March 10.-Thirty- five great naval fighting machines would be added to Uncle Sam's outfit In case of war with Spain. Cleveland would contribute these fighting machines. Men who know say that the Cleveland contribution would strengthen the navy at least 50 per cent. Government off cials are already considering plans.
 Their idea is to turn the whaleback fleet of the great lakes into war yes sels. It is asserted that this could be done at slight cost and that the whale backs would be formidable vessels They would be especially valuable for coast defense purposes. One great fea- ture of the whalebacks as war boats is that they can be almost entirely sub merged. When they are thus sub merged only about one foot of deck shows above the water. Marine men and Government officials agree that with the addition of a couple of turrets and with a ram forward these boats would be serviceable In case of war. There are thirty-five of the whaleback steamers. They are owned by the American Steam Barge Company, with headQuarterS in Cleveland.

Mission of Board Created by Direc- tion of the Navy De-

NEW YORK. March 10-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: In ad- dition to buying shell, the Navy De- partment is determined to make a large increase in the navy and marine corps, which will be available for service on board vessels which it is proposed to purchase and auxiliary cruisers should they be placed in commission. A board was appointed today, consist ing of Lieutenant-Com J. M. Hawley, Chief Engineer Harry Web ster, Surgeon R. C. Persons and Car penter, which will leave tomorrow for New Orleans, Galveston, Mississippi River ports, including Memphis, Nash vile, St. Louis, Savannah and Mobile, Ala.
 The board has been directed to en- gage 2000 seamen and machinists, and not to return to Washington until this number has been obtained. For ma chinists, the board desires skilled me- chanics who have been at sea, and for seamen men who have been on salt water in large vessels. The depart ment is considering the advisability of instructing naval officers on duty throughout the West to establish rem dezvous and accept any desirable men that may offer themselves.

a clear insight obtained into the courts preparations, 1t Is possible to under stand many things hitherto obscure to the public.
 Some comment was caused when Mir. Bissell official stenographer, was per mitted to return to Washington, Mir. HuIse, his colleague having gone north some days before him. The simple fact is that the actual taking of new testimony was practically finished some days ago. The work now being done is mainly statistical, structural and confirmatory in character. It con- sists largely in careful measurements with photographs of the details of the wreck, verification by divers of the condition of certain portions of the hull under water, the position of armor plates and scores of other details in- volving expert knowledge.
 This is why the courts work of late has been almost exclusively with such persons as Naval Constructor Hoover. Engineer Howell and most of all with the divers. This is why members of the court have actually spent hours on the divers floats personally directing the submarine work.
 This kind of work is necessarily slow. What might be gained in speed would be at the sacrifice eofthoroughness. of Much or II also IS QlSdppOlulllS-r MT I1clIIlS, I know, had repeatedly directed the divers to descend at point which should be directly over some particular part of the ship from which special in formation was desired. The divers spent perhaps an hour under water without being able to accomplish the desired purpose, but this does not indi- cate that they were working bindly. It is only further proof of how com pletely the structure was blown to fragments.
 Whole sections of the ships interior, sections with which Mir. Helms was SC familiar that he could once have laid hands on them in the dark. seem to have disappeared out of this chaotic mass From veritable submarine labyrinth must be extracted hard mathematical truths, truths that will carry conviction, not only in Washing ton and Madrid. but, if necessary, to the minds of wholly disinterested eX- perts. who might ultimately be sum moned to act as an international court of arbitration. This problem is now confronting the Court of Inquiry. Its members are meeting it coolly, fntelli- gently and discreetly and as expedi- tiously as it's magnitude warrants. Whatever their findings may be, they are anxious that they shall be such as will stand the severest tests to which they may be subjected, either at home or abroad
