THE HOG THE FARMERS FRIEND.
SOME SENSIBLE IDEAS.

He is the greatest ecOnomizer Of food
and makes the cheapest meat obtain
able by the consumer. He is, therefore,
a friend of the consumer as we'll as the
farmer.
Prof J. W. SanbOrn states that from
100 pounds of dry food, that nine
pounds Of live steer, II pounds Of live
sheep, and nearly "a pounds of live hog
are produced, or 264 per cent more pigs
than steer from given amount of
food, though hogs consume more cost
ly food than either sheep or steers.
This astonishing growing power of
the pig is due to the greater amount
of food consumed and the all devour-
ing appetite of the pig.
He found the pig consumed per
cent to 7 per cent of his live weight
daily, while the steer made from per
to 81 per cent, or about little over one
half as much as the pig. In other
words, the pig has power to eat, to di-
gest and to assimilate food to great
er extent than any other animal on the
ldIIus L liz uCUlOIl VI
the hog is built for this purpose differ
emily from the steer.
Going further, he found that the pig
gives larger ratio of dressed carcass
than does the steer in proportion to
live weight, giving82 per cent of dress
ed carcass to IS per cent in the steer,
or so per cent with the hide and tallOw
| free.
Still pressing the claims of the hog
over the steer to the legitimate issue,
he finds that 100 pounds of food from
the data given produced 7.39 pounds
of clear water and bone free meat in
the pig, and 1.67 pounds of beef for
consumption, or the pig produces 4. AZ
per cent times more food material than
the steer from 100 pounds of food.
The producer sells the pig fat fol
market at as high price as the best
steer. You, therefore, get the benefit
of the much larger growth and gair
per 100 pounds of food, and the early
maturity of the pig not being required
to pass through one or two costly win
UerS OF HUE gfOWUn, all OF WnlCT
shows the greater advantage of thu
hogs VS.. the steer.
The hog has been improved in TIN
last 2Oyears to such an extent that b
is able to mature earlier, to assimilat
greater, and produce larger amour
of gain and growth from the sam
quality of food.
The improved pig show the grea
feeding capabilities and earlier matuI
, ing qualities that have been bred int
them. No time is lost. They can b
marketed as quickly as crop of grair
The pig should be kept growing cor
: tinually. 1t requires a certain amour
of food for maintenance. If there
no growth and no gain maintena nc
food is actual loss

REFERRING TO LAKE WARAMAUG.
When the winds blow soft from the South
down below.
And the waves toss white upward they
flow.
When the woody hills turn their leaves from
the green,
We wonder at the colors in the variegated
scene.
When the white clouds drift high and above,
And the blue skies soften like the eyes OF love,
And the son sheds a warm and silent space,
And the honey bees drone in every place.
When the flag at the pinnacle turns in the
wind,
And we salute with some merry music din'd,
And the guests at the tOpmost answer with 4
ZeSt,
With the sound Of an echo going to its rest
When the summer months fade and pass
away,
Where will the guests go where will they
stay?
And the lake freezes over and the white fakes
fall.
With the pleasure boats laid,in the cold win
ter stall.
Some folks that come here have happy
time alone,
Some folks bring here a secret they would
atone,
And some bring their own way without regard
for all,
And some folks care not for anything at all.
And some folks will not be entertained but on

OF the mountain peak with the grandeur of
the sight,
That surrounds the lake of it's Indian name,
Waramaug the chief who died here, the same.
When the white man comes he pioneers the

Visit this retreat from the crowded city strife,
And free the burden'd mind from its united

And rest upon the shores in the purer air.
Welcome each and all with the holidays that

To the sheltered groves and shade from torrid
sun,
And to the social life with boon of friendship
When ways must part and last adieus be
