A Standard of FecundIty.

So far as my observation goes,
there is to-day no greater complaint
among market breeders than the want
of prolificacy in the pure-bred hog.
l know that this is the case in our
part of the country at least. What
number of pigs, then, shall we take
as the ideal, toward which we aspire
in working to improve our pure
breeds of swine along these lines? The
old English hog was perhaps the best
type of hog, and the most profitable
known, previous to the establishment
of either of the now recognized pure
breeds of swine. She was large in sta
ture, had great constitution and energy
that has not since been equaled in any
of the specific breeds that have been
produced since her day. She bore tel
to fourteen strong, healthy pigs, which
she was able to raise with very little
help from her owner. 1 well remem-

said to have been introduced as early
as the middle of the seventh century,
says writer in Cassell's Little Folks.
The Emperor Toba II. was an expert
player, and got up club at his pal
ace. Considering how averse most
Orientals are to hard work and rigor-
Gus exercise, it may be supposed that
the game was very different from
either Kruger" or Seeker" Never
theless. the Japanese form seems to
have been popular, and we may trace
the beginnings of professionalism to
an emperor and his court, of whom
it is told that in time of poverty
they earned a little extra money by
teaching the art of football.

The grazing lands. the pastures, are
among the two or three factors that
make nations rich. Few stop to con-
slider the tremendous importance to
our American industries Of this portion
OF our domain. Business enterprises
to the value OF two billion dollars are
directly dependent on them. Careful
estimates by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture indicate that
we use in this country 70,000,0OO tons
OF hay per year. Were that the only
source of fodder supply two-thirdS OF
ali our live stock would have to be
discarded. But the grazing lands OF
the country, the farm pastures, the
mountain sides, and the great ranges
or the West, produce 210,000,000 tons
or feed per year. This keeps the great
livestock industries in operation. The
Improvement of our pasture lands can
enormously increase the revenues OF
our farms. These are the lands so
generally neglected in this country
Inat In many cases it is a wonder how
stock can exist upon them.
We have improved our meadow lands
ny the introduction of grasses origi-
naliy European, but we have left our
pastures and grazing lands to native
grasses, some of them of very little
value on account of wiry texture of
the plants or on account of little de-
Velohment after maturity. We can
vastly increase the value of these lands
by NOT pasturing them too closely and
by the introduction into them of for
eign forage plants or grasses. The SOW
ing OF good pasture mixtures in our
pastures would be one method of stop
ping the over-grazing, as this would
give a greater supply of feed without
the necessity of the farmer disturbing
his present arrangements as to stock
at pasture.

eggs may be the cause of illness by
communicating some bacterial disease
or some parasite. 1t is possible for an
egg to become infected with micro
organisms, either before 1t is laid or
after. The shell is porous. and offers
no greater resistance to micro-organ-
isms which cause disease than it does

feathers, it is not strange if some OF
these bacteria occasionally penetrate
the shell. and the egg thus becomes
possible source of infection. Perhaps
one OF the most common troubles duo
to bacterial infection of eggs Is the
more or less serious illness sometimes
caused by eating those which are
stale" This often resembles pto-
maine poisoning. which is caused
not by micro organisms them
selves. but by the poisonous products
which they elaborate from materials
on which they grow.

Judged by the comparatively small
number of cases of infection or pois-

cal literature, the danger OF disease
from this source is not very great.
However in view of it's possibility. 1t
is best to keep eggs as clean as pos

eggs should always be stored and mar

subject of handling food in Clearly

what is said of eggs in this connec-
ton applies to many other foods With
even more force.

Dirt Depreciates Wool.

Farmers Review: The great
er part of Illinois wool comes IN in

are the principal defects, to which may
be added weak staple, which comes
from sickness OF the sheep or want of

cents a pound, according to the extent
of the defect.-P. G. Porter, Chicago
