PIG FEEDING TESTS.
Character and Causes Of Soft Pork
Discussed by Prof. Frank n.
Shut, of Canada.


The Canadian experimental farm
authorities have issued report by
Prof. Frank L. Shut, chemist at the
farm, upon the character and causes
of soft pork. Softness in pork is q
serious defect, and so the question
is of great Importance to the Can
adian bacon industry. Prof. Shut
periments as follows:
1. That of all the grain rations
employed that consisting of equal
parts of oats, peas and barley gave
the firmest pork. 1t may further be
added that the fat was deposited
evenly and not too thickly, and that
this ration gave very thrifty
growth.
2. That no difference could be OBJ
served in the firmness of the pork
from the preceding ration, whether
fed soaked or dry.
3. That when half the grain ration
consists of corn meal the resulting
pork shows an increased percentage
of olein-in other words, tendency
to softness.
4. That in this ration (half corn
meal, half oats, peas and barley in
equal parts) the feeding of it boiled
gave slightly higher olein content,
but this is only apparent when the
average from the four pens is taken
into consideration.
5. That, considering the effect OF
feeding the ration of oats, peas and
barley during the first period to a
live weight of hundred pounds and
corn meal during the finishing
period, compared with the reverse OF
this plan-that is, corn first, fol-
lowed with oats, peas and barley
we may conclude that the former
gives a firmer pork.
6. That in both methods mentioned
in the preceding paragraph no
marked difference was to be observed
from the ration fed dry or previously
soaked, though taking an average
of the two groups on each ration the
"dry" feed gave somewhat higher
olein content.
Z. As when corn meal formed half
the first period ration and the whole
of the second period ration, the re-
sulting pork was somewhat softer
than from that of any of the rations
already discussed. We conclude that
the longer the period during which
the corn is fed as a large proportion
of the ration the softer will be the
pork.
s. That beans produce soft and
inferior pork. The growth of the
pigs so fed was poor and miserable
and the deposition of the fat meager
.. That corn meal fed exclusively
as the grain ration, either dry or
previously soaked, results in an ex-
tremely soft fat, the percentage of
olein being considerably higher than
from any other ration tested. The
pork was of an inferior quality.
Here also we noted the miserable
growth of the animals, the ration in
no sense being an economical one.

PORTO RICO PEACEFUL.
Everything Quiet and People Are
Happy and Contented I'm Our
New Possession.

Porto Rico has not been saying much,
but has been doing a greatdeal. The
imports from the West Indian terri
tory are three times as great as they
were before 1898, and the exports to
the island five times as great. There
has never been vestige of discomfort
with American rule, nor has there been
n whisper that the Americans have
conducted themselves either with dis
honesty or cruelty. Chief Leadley, of
the record division of the civil service
commission, reports that the Porto
Ricans who took the examination were
an orderly, well-behaved, and intelli-
gent set of young men who passed
their examinations as creditably as did
the American applicants. Their knowl-
edge of American geography, which
was expected to be deficient, vas ex-
cellent. Many of them knew English
perfectly. Neither Mr.. Atkinson nor
Senator Hoar can point with pride"
10 the horrors of imperialism" as
demonstrated in Porto Rico. The rea-
son that American suzerainty has been
cago Tribune, is that peace has pre-
vailed in the island since the Stars and
Stripes were hoisted there. When the
army shall have finally and definitely
established peace in the Philippines, in
spite of the fire in the rear, it is fair to
assume that the same prosperity and
content now observable in the West
Indian island will spread over the Pa
cifc archipelago The anti-imperial-
lists must realize that whether we
abandon the islands eventually. orcon-
tinue in them. peace is now the first
desideratum. Tn the first alternative,
the United States will not leave the
archipelago in the face Of an enemy's
fire. Hence the longer the Filipinos
are encouraged in resistance. and the
war thereby prolonged, the worse off
they are. In the second alternative,
the longer they are urged on in what
must inevitably prove a losing fight.
the more distant are their days Of
peace and plenty.

In buying breeding stock the breed
er should select animals that are
strong where his are weak. Too many
settle the purchasing question by a
certain financial standard rather than
that of first finding the individual suit
ed to their needs and then talking cost
afterward. Too many men desire to
buy stock at hardly above butchers
prices, and expressed no willingness to
pay a premium to the man who is Of
fering them animals that have been
produced at great cost and effort. No
stock should be purchased unless per-
sonally inspected; reliance on the judg-
ment Of others Is unsafe.-Prof. C. n.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed regularly as well as literally.
Give pulverized alum for scours,
with wheat bran.
Have water convenient for your
sheep. They drink little and often.
Keep the lambs growing from the
start. If fat, sell them when they
weigh 30 to so pounds.
Ewes that prove poor mothers, or
refuse their own lambs, might as
well go to the butcher.
DO not feed lambs on rape alone,
but accustom them to it gradually
when fed with other fodder.
An authority on lambs for market
says pure-bred or high-grade lambs
should not be kept beyond six
months.
In feeding shredded corn fodder
to sheep, bran and oats may be
mixed with the stover to avoid any
trouble that may come from over
feeding of carbonaceous elements.
If sheep have catarrh, put them in
n well-ventilated pen and give each.

Horse breeders of Canada are
alarmed at the large expectations of
bronchos from the United States into
that country. The Clydesdale directors
met lately and discussed the question
how to prevent the great injury that
will be done to the breed of Canada's
horses, II this condition of affairs is
permitted to continue. Horse breed
ers complain that the duty on horses
imported into Canada from the United
States is only two dollars, while any
exporter of horses into the United
States must pay $50 on each animal.
The broncho growers of the west have
taken advantage of the low tariff, and
have been selling great numbers OF
horses in Canada, and already the re-
suit IL seen in the deterioration and
smallness of many Of the harses ON
Canadian farms.

THE SAME PERSONS.
ton I'm Cuba Unless Tariff IL Re-
duced Did same Years Ago.

Some Of the same persons that are
now declaring that the Cuban republic
cannot possibly survive unless this
government removes large part Of
the duties that are imposed by the
general tariff law upon goods passing
between this country and the island,
were assuring the American people
just as positively and emphatically
q few years ago, that the Porto Ricans
were surely doomed to ruin and desti-
tuition if the law imposing on the ar
ticles passing between Porto Rico and
the United States reduced duty, for
time, should be passed and go into OPP
Grafton.
The law was passed and remained
in operation until. according to its
terms, it expired through due notice
from the Porto Ricans that they were
prepared and able to defray the ex-
penses of their government by local
taxation. And the Porto Ricans did
not suffer because of the tariff. On
the contrary, they have been steadily
growing in prosperity since they were
freed from Spanish rule. That, too,
though devastating hurricane visited
their island and caused great loss, of
which large part fell upon those least
able to bear it.
Late advices from Porto Rico tell of
a large and steadily growing demand
for good clothes of American manufac-
ture. The people of the island are cast
ing off the comparatively primitive raj
ment that they wore under Spanish
rule, and clothing themselves in good
American style. And in tropical
country the people do not begin to
spend money for more and better
clothes than necessity demands until
they have an abundance of it.
OF course, says the Albany Jour
nal, the persons who were abusing the
government and expressing a great
deal of sympathy of the crocodile
variety for the Porto Ricans when it
was decided to make their products
subject to a tariff, are saying nothing
about the condition of Porto Rico
now. They are bowling for "justice
for Cuba" and putting forth copious
dissertations on what the United
States "owes" to the island, regardless
Of its own interests. Two years hence,
Cuba will be so prosperous that these
persons will be silent on this subject
too.

He DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
The Doctors Dead Patients Were Not
a Source of Any Great Annoy
ance with Him.

There is a doctor of the old school in one
of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former home of Mary
4. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by a
cemetery. The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth of mile. Some might find such
house lot doleful,and surely the neighborsare
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers so mica as the prospect of
going home at night, says the New York
Tribune. In the country towns of New
England the graveyard at night is still
thing of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, so that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: Are you not afraid to go home
sometimes at night!"
And his answer is always the same: "No;
my neighbors will never trouble me; they
all owe me money"

ercised to give good ventilation so
that the animals will not become
overheated and catch cold in the
open air at meal time. A good roof
that will turn snow and rain is es-
sential. With cracks battened and
tight doors and windows, the tenn
perature can be controlled by watch
ing the ventilators, which can be the
windows, or shutters placed in the
gable ends for that purpose. The
number of hogs the house will ac-
commodate will be limited by its
length.
This house is designed for sleep
ing quarters mostly, although it may
be used by sows at narrowing time.
A layer of straw scattered over the
floor will make sufficient bedding.
This should be changed as often as
it becomes dusty If the hogs are
given proper attention, there will
never be other cause for cleaning out
the pens. Catching an individual hog
is an easy matter. Watch when he
goes into the house, follow him into
a side pen, drop the gate and he is
yours. Loading for market, too, is
an easy job. Let chute be arranged
at the end of the alley, if the ele-
walton is not sufficient to make the
floor on level with the wagon bed;
get the hogs into the pens, close one
alley door and back up the wagon
at the other, lift the gate, drive the
hogs into the alley, then into the
wagon.-J. l.. Irwin.
