The Great American Hog.

The tables Of exports published by
the treasury department indicate a
marked increase in the exports of hog
products for last month. The exports Of
bacon amounted to over 81, 900, 900
pounds, of hams to nearly 90, 600, 600
pounds and of pork to over 10000, 600
pounds The export of lard alone show
ed slight decrease in comparison with
the same period of last year This ex-
hibit is the more gratifying from the
fact that the agitation of the agrarian
element in Europe, particularly in
France and Germany, is mainly direct
ed against the American hog While
this partisan agitation is not in the in
terest either of the German or French
people, as it deprives them of cheap hog
products, it has had the support of the
governments That in spite Of it the
export tables continue to show steady
growth must be put down to the credit
of the invincible American hog Den

The "Hook" Blow.

kid" Mccoy received his first in
struction as boxer from physician
in Indianapolis, who taught him to de-
velop his muscles scientifically Mccoy
has always kept up a correspondence
with his first preceptor, and in letter
received lately he referred to the fact
that the famous "hook" blow which
he originated was taught him by his
medical friend.
In explaining the blow that has
made Mccoy famous and which other
fighters, with the exception Of Fitz-
simmons, have been unable to copy the
physician said that most fighters were
unable to use it effectively because
they were compelled to swing with
their whole body to get force and
therefore did not deliver real hook
blow. The blow, he said. required the
development of certain distinct mus
cles in the back and chest, which are
neglected by most pugilists.
Mccoy, he says, can deliver this blow
with sufficient force to knock out a
man with a swing of but IA inches. His
attitude is always crouching, with his
left arm well extended, his right one
guarding the body and his left shout
der protecting his head. Els knockout
blow is given with three distinct mo-
tons. First his extended left fist
sweeps across his opponents face from
right to left with a downward motion.
This always brings duck, and the
"Kid" meets this as the man turns his
face to the left with another slight jab
from the same hand. This jolt turns
the mans face to the required angle to
enable him to deliver the hook blow
with advantage, and before the man
remembers that the kid" has two
hands the right hand follows the left
with stunning force on the point of the
/ jaw, and the man usually goes to sleep.
Both preliminary taps are light and
are delivered much after the fashion Of
a man brushing flies from another's
face. His left sweeps in front of his
i opponents face from the right to the
! left side, and the second tap is given
by the hand as it is brought back to it's
original position, but when 1t starts it
Is followed by the right, which is never
four inches from the left hand.

The Sow n. a Milk Producer.

The value Of the SOW as a breeder,
says the Boston Cultivator. depends
very largely on her capacity as a milk
producer. In selecting the SOW to be
used for breeding this is often not
thought of as it should be. A SOW
with long body, straight back and her
belly lined with two rows Of well de-
veloped teats gives all the outward
signs of good milk producing capacity
If such a SOW is chiefly fed with the
food best for making milk, including
some beet roots, wheat middlings and
skimmilk, she will probably be good
mixer. We believe that the capacity
for milk production can be increased
in individuals and can also be trans
mitted to their progeny, but it requires
that the stock used for breeding or at
with grain. This has always been the
rule with old farmers. 1t is nothing
against the SOW as breeder that she
should be large, coarse built and not
at all handsome. If she is mated with
pure bred boar Of some early matur-
ing breed, the pigs when dropped will
be larger and better. with few or nc
runts, and they will grow up into d
greater amount of pork than can be
made from single litter bred in any
other way. The pig that has dam
which gives an abundant supply OF
milk has it's digestion SO well devel
oped early that 1t is never apt to be
stunted from high feeding as it grows
older,

slight build. He is about 35 years
old and halls from Barcelona, where
the Chicago expert Carter, before the
late unpleasantness with Spain, was
wont to hold forth. For several years
past Vazquez has Travelled extensive
ly outside of his native land. He has
visited nearly every country in South
America, defeating all corners at bill
lizards, and has made fair reputation
at pool. He has a pretty stroke and
excellent execution, but he is trif1e
under weight at safety plays. He
came direct from Mexico to Chicago.
While in the sister republic he Gre
ated favorable impression in all the
billiard centers, and some time ago
he made tour through Texas and
won almost every game he played,
generally conceding odds to his o.
ponents.
vazquez has become great admirer
of Jacob Schaefer and realizes that in
Jake he has master. He speaks nj
English, but as he is familiar with
French he is on speaking terms with
Maggioli. Cation, Schaefer, Carter and
Capron.

Hungarian wheat For the Middle

Hungarian -four owes Its reputation
largely to the high quality of the hard
winter wheats grown in the great
plains between the Thesis and Danube
rivers. Other countries, especially
Russia and our own northwest, have
superb hard spring wheats. but au-
thorities agree that it is in Hungary
that hard winter wheats Of the best
quality are to be found.
Mr.. Swingle arranged in Budapest
to secure five of the best sorts as soon
as the 1899 crop is dry enough to ship.
These wheats cannot be expected to
stand the severe winters Of the ex-
IRENE northwest, but 1t is hoped that
for the middle western states. espe-
cially in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska,
they will prove of great value.
