While probably the corn belt farm
ers, owing to scarcity of heterogeneous
feed, will not find it profitable to
raise the pure bacon hog, yet the
large improved Yorkshires and Tam
worths will serve his purpose ad-
mirably in correcting the deficiencies
Of the common lard hog which lacks
stamina and has become SO fine OF
bone as to render it prone to dis
ease.
Experiments show that crosses Of
bacon and lard hogs give excellent
results. At the Minnesota station a
lot of (three) Tamworth-Poland
China crosses fed 1876 days showed q
profit of 1854, while the pure Poland
China showed but SIS profit, and the
pure Tamworth s2.6s. A lot of three
Improved Yorkshire-Po land-C China
crosses gave profit of $3.50, and
Berkshire Yorkshire cross $3.3s. Ev
cry experiment demonstrated thai
crossing bacon and lard hogs inn
proved the stamina, increased the av
erage daily gain during the feeding
period. and also the capacity to con
sumo feed.
The salvation of the degeneratinl
| lard hog of the corn belt is declared
by experts to lie in blending his bloo'
with that of the bacon types.-Drov

homa and Arkansas--those who farm
their farms--are affording abundant
evidence of determination to adj
vance in body. In Texas, for in
stance, almost every agricultural
county has farmers organization
in good working order, created for
the purpose of cooperation, and or
ganized effort in every department
of their business. Farmers are learn
ing that they may do better than fol-
lowing in the ruts made by the cart
wheels of their fathers; that in
stead of growing low-priccd staples
they may indulge in high-priced spe-
cialties, and they recognize the fact
that in the higher branches OF agri-
culture, more thought and study and
better-directed effort is required,
and they are preparing to meet this
condition. They are reading more
agricultural literature, take more in
terest in the work Of the experiment
stations, send more of their boys to
agricultural colleges, and are begin
ming to appreciate the benefits to be
derived from organized effort. from
meeting together and gathering
knowledge from one another, and
generally acting together for des-
ignated purpose. As result of this
lgreat awakening, agriculture is be.
coming more attractive; agricultural
land was never so high in price, and
farmers were never SO prosperous as
] they are now, in the southwestern
lsection of the Union, which is rapidly
becoming the garden and the or
chard for the whole country, fol
early products and good prices. Fol
this condition the general progress
of mankind is in a measure, respon
sible. But as relates to farming thu
beginning was with the agriculture
colleges, closely followed by agricul
tural experiment stations, farmers
institutes, farmers congresses, farm
ers' associations, and, if we may b
permitted to say it, with farmers pa
pers.-Texas Farm and Ranch.
