Bacon Hog in Corn Re1t

Many breeders of hogs and profess
sors of animal husbandry believe that
the hog men of the corn belt can profit
ably breed bacon hogs, that is, a
lengthy, rangy animal with large
percentage of side meat, in which the
fat and lean are well distributed. That
these hogs can be raised in the United
States no one denies. If an animal of
the proper conformity is chosen and
this animal is fed peas, beans, barley.
oats, shorts, etc, a frst-class bacon
hog can be secured. The vital point.
however, is whether or not hog raising
and feeding such animals will be more
profitable than the production of the
hogs now received at all the principal
market points in the central west

REINFORCED BARN ROOF.

least bit in the way of the hay-carrier
as it passes back with the load of hay:
and when the load IS past any pair of
them it may be swung to where it is
wanted and dumped. This drawing
shows a barn 80 feet wide and 20 feet
high with the cross-timber in one solid
piece; but that is not necessary-it
may be in three pieces. A nut on each
end of the rod allows it to be adjusted.
While rods are best every way, they
are not essential; two by four timbers
spiked on each side will answer. They
should, however, be long enough to
project six or eight inches beyond the
other timbers to prevent their split
ting when the spikes are driven. They
can then be sawed off. Of course this
will not need to be done if they are of
some nonsplitting kind of wood.-Cor.

GERMAN ECHOES.

In Berlin about hundred thousand
people of the working classes live un-
derground.
Germany has fewer donkeys than
any other European country, there
being only one to each 1000 inhabit-
ants. England has, in proportion, ten
times as many.
During the first three months of the
present year there were, in the Ger
man empire, twelve cases of murder
whose perpetrators were not found,
and eleven corpses of unknown per-
sons were found.
Germany has built the finest, fastest
vessels afioat, although she is not
geographically a maritime country,
and no other country is so largely de-
pendent on others for the raw material
which enter into the making of a ship.
The German university world has
been startled by the discovery of
thefts in the buildings occupied by the
Saxonia corps and the Borussia corps
at Bonn. These clubs are exclusive,
and the imperial princes are members
of the latter organization. The thief
has been found and has confessed be-
fore a court of honor. He belongs to
a noble family.
The German embassy in Washington
is to be made as splendid as possible,
Emperor William having given Baron
Won Sternberg carte blanche as to
expense in connection with the re-
decoration. This unexpected liberal
ity is regarded in Washington as an
other proof that the kaiser wishes to
make favorable impression on Amer
lea. Over this new embassy the Amer
ican-born baroness will preside. With
such a mansion she will be power in
society. She is Miss Langham, of
Kentucky. She came to Washington
late this season, and, therefore, did not
have the best OF chances to shine as a
hostess. Next year she will have every
advantage necessary to a successful
social career.

CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.
HOW Many OF the AnnOyances, Com
mon on Most Farms, Can Be
Avoided ERectuaIIy,

New born pigs, especially those from
sows that have been fed ration con-
tanning much shorts, oats or f1axseed
meal, are apt to have sharp tusks that
lacerate the teats of the mother. This
is very commonly the cause of what
appears to be an i'll disposition on the
part of the sow. Prof Carlyle, of the
Wisconsin Agricultural college, says
that these teeth are also a common
cause of canker of the mouth in young
pigs. They lacerate the lips and cheek
of the pig having them and the faces
of the other pigs of the litter during
the infantile squabbles and fights Of
the youngsters. A new litter of pigs
should have their mouths examined at
once and any such tushes removed be-
fore trouble sets in. If this has not
been done and canker mouth appears.
it is recommended to clip off these
teeth and to dip the heads of the af-
fected pigs several times in a solution
of one to two ounces of permanganate
of potash in gallon of warm water,
then rub the sores well with some heal
ing ointment, such as iodoform, one
drachm, tanic acid one drachm and.
lard or lanOlin one ounce, mixed to-
gether. Where the disease is preva-
lent it is also recommended to souse
the heads of unaffected pigs once or
twice a week as a preventive. Care
should also be taken to keep all uten-
sils, such as troughs and pals, per-
fectly clean and sweet. The bed should
also be kept clean and dry. A damp,
filthy bed is common source of NOR
tally among young pigs.-Prairie

Two Dips for Loose WOODS.

Concerning the. matter of dipping
one writer says that all loose-wooled
sheep-that is, all breeds but the Me-
rino-should be dipped twice a year.
The first time just after shearing.
when the ticks forsake the sheep and
seek refuge in the lambs. Then the
lambs should be dipped. Just before
the winter sets in the whole flock
will be more contented, thrive better,
and you will get better returns for the
food they consume. 1t is the safest to
use a nonpoisonouS dip, and one that
will not change in strength, though
settling, after being once well mixed
A good dipping before winter sets in
will kill all vermin and give healthy
skin to the animal, and should never be
neglected with any of the mutton
breeds.-Farm Home.
