FARMER AND PLANTER.
BACON HOG EXPERIENCE,
the Hands of Pennsylvania
Farmers.

There are a number of small herds
OF the bacon breeds in this stae at
present, and as / have had some eX-
perience with bacon hogs for the past
two years it will, perhaps, be of in
terest to the readers t. know what
the bacon hog has done in the hands
of Pennsylvania farmers. My expert
ence is given in the hope that others
who have given either the Tamworth
or Improved Yorkshire a trial will
give us the benefit of their experience.
L have found that under conditions
not the most favorable, the bacon
hog has proven himself to be all that
was claimed for him, in that he is n
thrifty, quiet dispositioned animal,
and one that will give good account
of himself in the feed lot with other
breeds. So far as | have been able to
observe, the meat of the bacon hog
has much more lean in it than the
thicker, blocker hogs; as one farmer
expressed it, who had killed few
pure-breds and number of grades,
1.-The meat looked like beef"
The sows are good mothers, and
bring forth large filters. The are
good grazers, and do well in cleaning
stubble fields. AS breed to grade up
with, they have proven very satisfac'
cory indeed. The haif-blood litters
have been strong and vigorous. The
farmers using our boars have been
very much pleased with the result and
without exception have been won to
the bacon hog.
In spite of all his good qualities,
however, the bacon hog has some
| qualities which are a serious drawback
to his becoming a popular favorite.
In tho first place. he has slim nu:',
and light jowl which give the casuai
observer the idea that the pig has a
| large head. AS the snout is fine and
the jowl light the head is not large as
one would think. We recently killed
barrow that dressed 436 pounds and
whose head weighed but 81 pounds.
The average head would have weighed
so pounds. Again, the ham and the
shoulder of the bacon hog are not So
large as those other breeds. Standir :,
well upon his legs, he does not ham
down so well as the thick, fat hog. II
should be remembered, however, TIA;
it is impossible to have hog oil ham
and shoulder and that u very thick
heavy ham necessitates a large per-
centage of lard, both on the ham anC
in the side meat. When the bacon hog
is Ierhaps deficient in total weight OF
ham produced he compcnsates for it il
the quality of lean meat in it and il
the side meath. Hayward, in Ma
tional Stockman.

vance one of the men. The boatswain,
Job Anderson, was the likeliest man
aboard, and, though he kept his old
title, he served in way as mate. Mr..
Trelawney had followed the sea, and
his knowledge made him very useful,
for he often took a watch himself in
easy weather. And the cockswain, Is
rael Hands, was careful, willy. old, ex-
perienced seaman, who could be trusted
at pinch with almost anything.
He was great confidant of Long
John Silver and so the mention of his
name leads me on to speak of our ships
cook, Barbecue. as the men called him.
Aboard ship he carried his crutch by
a lanyard round his neck, to have both
hands as free as possible. 1t was some
thing to see him wedge the foot of the
crutch against bulkhead, and, propped
against it, yielding to every movement
of the ship, get on within cooking like
some one safe ashore. Still more
strange was it to see him in the heaviest
of weather cross the deck. He had
line or two rugged up to help him across
the widest spaces-Long Johns ear
rings, they were called; and he would
hand himself from one place I % another.
now using the crutch, now trailing it
alongside by the lanyard, as quickly as
another man could walk. Yet some of
the men who had sailedwith him before
expressed their pity to see him so re-
duced.
Hes no common man. Barbecue"
said the cockswain to me. HE had
good schooling in his young days, and
can speak like book when so minded;
and brave-lion's nothing alongside of
Long John! I see him grapple four and
knock their heads together-him I'M
armed"
All of the crew respected and even
obeyed him. He had way of talking
to each and doing everybody some par
| ticular service. To me he was I'M
weariedly kind, and always glad to see
me in the galley, which he kept as clean
as a new pin; the dishes hanging up
FURNISHED and his parrot in a cage in
the corner.
"Come away. Hawkins" he would
say; "come and have yarn with John
Nobody more welcome than yourself, my

Here's Cap'n Flint calls my parrot

canee-here's Cap'n Flint predicting

And the parrot would say, with great
rapidity: "Pieces of eight! pieces Of
eight! pieces of eight" till you won
dered that it was not out of breath, OF
till John threw his handkerchief over
the cage.

All that night we were in great

friends, Mr.. Blandly and the like, COM

a safe return. We never had night

HERE AND THERE.

Small. unstable, cooked potatoes

milk and little corn meat
After alfalfa gets start there is
no more trouble about weeds, becau;e
the numerous cuttings which the n
falfa requires will kill out the wee'ls
in two years.
The hog market is becoming more
encouraging. There is good profit in
raising the feeding for market at the
present price of $i.l0 for good corn
fed. But even at $40 one must known
how or he will end where he begun.
Like producers like, and this is no
truer of the good qualities of an AMI
nal than the bad ones. For this red
son especial care is necessary to AVOID
cross where the same defects exist in
both sire and dam.
In no way can the sheep on
farm be improved at a less cost than
by using full-blooded ram on the
best ewes, taking the best lambs for
breeding again. Change the ram ev-
erv two wears, to avoid too close IN
breeding.
The department of agriculture mas
made the surprising statement that
the greatest loss from winter exposure
of cattle is in Louisiana. This teaches
that good care in a severe winter is
worth more than a mild winter with
poor care.
The farmer who waits on the
moon or the signs" for a time to
plant, often loses the best opportuni-
ty. for it is often the case that three
or four days delay will cut a crop
short. Let the silver moon roll on.
and give more attention to the phases
of this earth, and the signs of the
weather thereon.
Dairy farming removes less fertil-
ity from the soil than any other
branch of the business. The GARRY
farm should and usually does increase
in fertility year after year. The milk
which is the only product sold con-
tains but little of the fertilizing ele-
ments of the soil, and the crops after
feeding the stock ere converted into
he best fertilizers.

Farming never pays some farmers,

ness to keep COWS to produce mills,
cream and butter when these things
can be bought much cheaper than the
cows are producing them.
A neighbor of ours was induced to
test his cows. The herd consisted Of
isfied that he was suffering an annual
dead loss on his herd of nearly $40.
There was not profitable cow in the
herd. He wisely concluded that farm
ipn ,yoS NOT bucinaec tbat could
stand a leak like that, and he sold thu
whole lot and bought four good cows.
Far better have one good COW that IS
paying for her keep and something
more than ten that are running you
into debt. That is an ola and frequent
ly-repeated truth, and yet the fact re-
mains that one-half the cows in the
country lose money fer their owners.
If anybody can tell how to arouse
farmers from their unaccountablc
lethargy in such matters, he will prove
one of the greatest benefactors to ag-
riculture and the country that either
has ever seen. Even the COWS that are
| kept for the express purpose of sup
plying the creameries and factories
with cream and milk, are nowhere
near what they ought to be; not half
what they ought to be, taken as
whole; and if men who keep cows for
the express object of utilizing their
products for the purpose of gain, can
not be led to see what folly it is to
keep anything but the best, how can
we hope to reach the owners of mil
lions of cows that are simply kept as
side issue?-Agricultura' Epitomist.
