His annual average shows eight pigs
per sow for the red breed against five
Tor the Pc and he tells us that the
red pigs are great hustlers after feeo
from birth and seem to be less sus-
cept1ble to the ailments of young pigs
than are the others. Also as they
grow towards maturity they grow
heavier than the black pigs and make
growth faster on the same amount of
food and at killing time weigh with
him 100 pounds more than the mark
etable PCS. Is this correct, Mr.. D-o
breeder? But then there was an al
legged draw back to all of this fine
showing. The breeder alleged that the
red hog may be the best hog for the
farmer but said that the packer does
not especially admire him. Why is
this, II it is fact? We presume that
1t Is entirely owing to the large size
and heavy weight CT the red hog added
to the well known fact that the pack
ers are nowadays alter a medium, we'll
fed and finished hog that will cut
good percentage of carcass to live
weight. If this is rot the reason then
1t may be that the Pc bears more
lard and that lard is more profitable
compared with extra large sides and
hams of mixed meat and bacon. 1t is
certainly great thing in favor of the
red hog that the sow is so prolific and
that she has an abundant supply of
milk for her pigs, but there are a lot
OF things we want to know from the
red hog breeder before we form
fully matured" estimate of the value
of his big breed. Experiments at hand
do not furnish much Information about
Duroc-Jersey swine. In some Ontario
experiments made in 1896 two Duroc-
Jerseys fed the same way as two Pc
hogs (pure bred) made a daily gain
of 1.16 lbs. compared with LOB lbs.
made by the latter. At the close CT the
experiment the DIS weighed 199 lbs.
and the PCS 100 lbs. The former
dressed 1921 per cent dressed carcass,
and the latter 77.18 per cent. At the
commencement of the experiment the
DIS weighed an average of 62 lbs.
and the PCS an average of 50 lbs.
To make gain of 100 lbs, the DIS
required $50 lbs. of food and the PCS
507 lbs. of food. In similar expert
merits carried out at the Michigan Elk.
Station, the PCS made a daily gain
o. 1.20 lbs. and the DIS daily gain
of ,1.47 lbs. At start of experiment the
PCS weighed an average of 81 lbs.
and the DIS SO lbs. At the close of
the experiment the PCS weighed 264
lbs, had used 514 lbs. of food for 100
lbs. of grain and dressed S4.7 per cent.
The DIS weighed at close of expert
ment 800 los. had used 467 lbs. of food
per 100 p-.:lnds of grain and dressed
1872 per cent. This will give our
readers a chance to figure out exactly
which is the best hog. 1t also relieves
US of the responsibility of Judging in
the matter.

Poultry Briefs.

According to the experimenters at
the California station 100 hens weigh
ing three pounds each should daily re-
ceive the following: Dry matter, 16
pounds; protein, 2.52 pounds; fat, IL;
carbohydrates, SO. To get this balance
in the circulation the various rations
are proposed, any one of which may be
used:
Ration 1.-6 lbs. wheat, lbs bran, 2
lbs. middlings, 3 lbs. crushed barley.
ID. cocoanut oil-cake meal, lbs al
falfa hay, IS lbs blood meal.
Ration Ill lbs. wheat, 3 lbs bran
lbs. middlings, 2 lbs. alfalfa hay, h.
meat meal.
Ration al lb. wheat, 8 lbs. bran, s
.bs. crushed barley, Sc lbs. cocoanut
oil-cake meal, 5.5 lbs. alfalfa hay.
Ration 40 lbs. wheat, 3.5 lbs.
bran, 20 lbs. alfalfa, As lbs. crushed
barley, 10 lb. meat meal.
Ration So lbs. bran, lbs. mid
dlings, lbs bran, Is lbs. skim milk
The California station has been look
ing into the poultry business a good
deal and some valuable data have re-
suited. Analysing the egg they found
the following: Shell, 1881 per cent of
the whole; yolk, 32.47 per cent; white,
56.42 per cent. Over SO per cent of the
shell is found to be carbonate of lime;
over 4 per cent organic matter and
water; less than 1 per cent carbonate
of magnesia, and the same amount
nhosphates. OF the yo1k, about half is
water; 15 per cent protein and 80 per
cent fat. Mineral matters in the yoIk-,
lime. magnesia. phosphates-total less
ttan per cent. OF the white, about
Sc per cent is water, IL protein, and
fat about one-fifth of one per cent.
1t is evident from brief considera-
ton of the subject hat the powers of
digestion of fowls are somewhat Diff
ferent from that of other farm stock.
This difference is in favor of the fowl
and is due to the gizzard. This makes
it possible for the fowl to pulverize the
bony and other hard matter consumed.
To what extent this pulverixed mate
rial is taken into the circulation we
do not yet know.

DAIRY AND POULTRY.
INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR
RURAL READERS.


From the Farmers Review: After the
red comes, usually when they are eight
or ten weeks old, it is not necessary to
fight lice upon them again If you keep
their roosting place clean. 1t is best
to fix roosts under a shed, under trees.
or even in the open, and remove their
coops after they are feathered out, for
| impure air and overcrowding in their
roosting quarters always results d1sas-
trously. Let the most of their food be
given after they outgrow the bread
period and now it will do no harm to
allow them to eat all they want II they
have considerable of a run, for they
are naturally great bug-eaters and for
ayers, so the feed you give will help to
| make quick growth.
Never neglect to provide clean water
in clean vessels for them to drink; If
| you do not they will either drink foul
water, or wander off in search of
water. Poults will gang together and
will follow after any hen that will
| cluck and not fight them. We had one
old chicken hen that we named the
turkey hen," for she raised two gangs
| Of turkeys each year. Towards fall she
would have the whole gang of turks
after her. After she had brought her
we sold them. They would even try
to stick their heads under her while on
the roost.
1t is hardly possible to get turks to
fatten through the hot weather. but
the first frosty nights seem to sharpen
their appetites and then they eat greed
lily. We feed mature shelled corn for
six weeks before sale day, aiming to
give all they will eat three times day.
If they seem droopy after babyhood
give them a feed of curds made black
with PEPPER and thick with chopped
onion tops some morning. This will
nearly always straighten out their
dumps. If it does not put quart of
good wood ashes in two gallons of
ws,er and allow them to drink of 1t.
This often stops disease that greatly
resembles cholera, but if they still con-
tinue droopy quarantine the worst ones
and strive by added cleanliness to
prevent the well ones becoming droopy
We 10 OF docto- much, excepting for
symptoms of roup and bowel trouble
for we think cleanliness, wholesome
food, grit and few lice, or none at all,
are the best things to have in the way
of medicine.
The first year we killed several in
our Ignorance by using coal Oil In their
roost coops, and by our crowding. We
soon discovered it simply will not do
to use strong fumes of any sort in
their coops, nor to overcrowd, nor to
put grease on them.
Last summer our neighbor told us
she found lice on her poults that morn
ing, and that she promptly creased
them a little with lard. We to ID her

1t strikes the writer of the swine

Of the red hog nan last week when

Good ana bad Butter.


Have yo'. ever stopped to think that
the world is hungry for fresh. highly
favored creamery butter, and that the
demand for the same is greater than
the creameries can supply? Have you
ever stopped to think that there is not
an eater in the land hungry for the
butter you sell at the grocery store
Nine of every ten pounds of butter sold
at the grocery goes into a barrel and
is sold as packing stock for several
cents a pound less than the merchant
paid for it, and is not offered to the pub
lie as butter until it is purified and
sells at higher price than its maker
received. What is wrong with such a
system? Give to your creamery every
pound of cream you make into this low
priced grease, and the increase in
price you will receive will make you
smile.-Exchange.
At last California has taken a step
toward dairy school. The University
of California announces that a dairy
school will begin at the university Oc-
tober Q and continue till December 121
The announcement is further made
that only 80 students will be received
the first year. This looks small along
side of what some of the eastern states
are doing, but probably the California
dairymen are thankful for even a start.

Isthmian Canal Is n Necessity.

Consul General Perry NJ De Leon has
returned from Guayaquil Ecuador, to

ly convinced that the Isthmian Canal is
a necessity and ought to be built
The effect of an Isthnlian Canal upon
the relations between the United States
ana the nations of the west coast Of
South America would be extremely bene-
fetal" said he at the Riggs House this
morning. AT present there is but little,
if any. travel between Ecuador and our
ports. When the people Of Ecuador de-
sire to take a trip they prefer rather to
go to Europe than to the United States.
Something should be done to establish
closer social, as well as closer trade rela-
lions between the United States and Ecu
ador, and I think that the canal would be
a great power ia making the South Amer
lean Republics look toward our country,
rather than toward those OF Europe.
The lack of trade and social relations
IS due partly to inaction en- the part OF
Americans Every ship that lands at
