eighty head Of hogs which were just

eighty head Of hogs which were just
finished. These hogs were nearer of
the same age and size, and ranged
from the long, big -boned bacon hog to
the short fne-boned chunk, accord
ing to the care or carelessness Of the
farmer who raised them.
First, as to point of gain: The com
parsons are between hogs fed the
same in every respect. The best and
poorest five out of twenty have the
following showing:
Best five, weight at beginning Of
test 500 pounds, gain 416 pounds-70
per cent.
Poorest five, weight at beginning of
test $40 pounds, gain 235 pounds-i0
per cent.
This was for period of forty.two
days, and from observations made
from week to week, this difference of
gain from a little over one pound to
practically two pounds day was
largely due to the breeding. A short
small-boned chunk will make good
gains for few weeks and then stop
II will be fat and ready for market,
while a well bred, rangy hog will fat
ten aud continue to grow and make
gains for much longer period. Then
as to the demand of the market: The
three.rib- shoulder is now one Of the
most profitable CUTS that is made for
export trade. Hogs from which these
cuts are made must be large and mus
cular, long and rangy. The short,
small-boned chunk will not answer the
purpose. The bacon hog is also of the
latter description and brings the best
price on the markets. Well-bred,
rangy hogs make the most profitable
gains, are the most ready sale and
bring the best price on the market.

the custom OF paying tolls exists Mt

OF the castle to contribute horseshoe

obtains, though nowadays noblemen
who pass through the town generally
contribute shoes OF some precious
metal, richly decorated ana bearing
their coat Of arms. Quite lately the
earl of OnsiOw forwarded to J. %.
Whitehouse. the constable Of Oakham
castle, q new horseshoe richly deco
tatea, bearing the Inscription, "Wil.
Ham Hitler. fourth earl OF Onslow."
Another n0blenan, who was driving
