perfect form without the stamina and
vigor which is go essential.
The ann in which the effort to
obtain this ideal is made is Of no small
degree of Importance. By visiting
several of the best herds of pure bred
swine, and paying long prices, animals
approaching, or perhape excelling the
model of perfection could be secured.
This, however, is impracticable. and
beyond the means of the majority of
the farmers of North Carolina. This
model may be approached step by
step by selecting some of our best ma
tive sows from which to raise pigs.
Give them better care and feed while
they are young and coming to matur-
ity. Determine which Of the pure
breeds you like best. Study that breed
until you have the very best type fixed
indelibly on your mind; then select
and purchase a male conforming to
that type as closely as possible. Breed
him to the sows already selected and
from the litters resulting from these
matings select a few Of the very best
sowg, and breed them back to their
sire. From the best pigs from these
matings select a few sows for mothers
of future filters. Dispose Of the irsC
boar purchased and in his place get
another one of the same breed and
general type to use on the young SOW.
The pigs resulting from this mating
will be seven eighths Of the blood of
the breed from which the sires were
selected, and Tor the farmer 10 average
conditions will be almost as valuable
as full blooded animals. This system
of grading up should be carried on for
several generations further by using
only pure bred sires.
The cost of securing a herd Of seven.
Fights or fifteen sixteenths blood, is
merely the cost Of two pure bred bears,
which neCd not be more than ten to
thirty dollars. The increased return
for the corn consumed will amount to
from one to two pounds of pork for
every bushel OF grain eaten. The time
required for grading the herd up is
not more than five or six years.
1t would be a mistake to attempt
this line Of Improvement and yet force
the hogs to search through the sWamps
and woods or over the rough, uncleared
hills and mountain ranges, which are
usually very poorly adapted to main
tanning domestic animals, for the
greater part OF their living during
eight or ten months Of the year. The
improved breeds are not suited to that
kind OF treatment, aud when subj 9cted
to it they are not any better than the
natives. II they are 70 receive in
proved care and better feed, the i'm
proved breeds are the very best stock
that can be used to grade up u Ia i've
swine. Better food and care aLore
might in the course Of several genera
tions transform our natives into hCge
equalling the go called pure breeds;
while poor food ard care Will trans
form the most perfect breed into g rec
Of the meaDcst scrubs IN a wy few
generations.

sion of it's physical powers, eating,
drinking and travelling about, in the
evident enjoyment of health, these stu
dents learned that for a period Of sew
erRl days prior to and after parturition
the tuberculin test was Of absolutely
no value whatever. They also discov-
cred that in more than a few cases
where the test had declared the pres
ence of disease, the subse quent autopsy
showed nothing of the kind. So that
it has come to pass that men are CALI
ing a halt and demanding Of those who
so uncompromisingly maintain the in
fallibility of the test that they shall ex.
plain some things in connection with
the workings thereof.
In the State Of New York, the Gov
ernor has refused to sign any bill pre-
posing the appropriation Of further
funds for carrying on the examination
and slaughter Of tuberculous cattle
until he shall have been convinced that
there is something more than a theory
to base such expenditures upon. Not
only this. He has recommended, and
the lower house of the legislature has
passed a resolution providing for the
appointment Of a committee to thor
oughly investigate the entire subject
and report to the next session OF that
body. This committee will hRvepower
to go into other States if it should deem
this necessary and in fact go TO the
bottom of the matter. 1t would seem
to be full time that this course should
be adopted. II the facss shall warrant
the outlay, the people are ready to
keep on approprlaEing money for the
eradication of This disease, but they
do insist that it shall be deter mined
