Making Firm Bacon.
In Denmark they look upon barley
as the best for good bacon. Exercise
Is conducive to firm bacon, and II
I-enty Of buttermilk IL used, I do moi
think there IS any danger Of soft
bacon. After . pig reaches Is or 1O(
pounds almost anything can be giveB
it in the way Of feed. Some Of oul
packers have been advocating keep
ing the hogs until they are eight or
ten months old as . help to produce
the firm bacon. but II fed right Q hog
may be put ON the market at sir
months old. think in many in
stances the value of roots has been
Overestimated. but they certainly help
to keep the hogs In good condition.
and prevent them from becoming too
fat when young. Without roots. our
dimculty has been to get them to
grow rapidly without getting fat. Fed
ON something bulky they will grow
and at the same time not become
= cry fat. II is . little dinlcult to q.
plain the reason. The question Of
wheat feeding has never t"en taken
I'M by our Institution. In feeding II,
I should mix something bulky with
II, or it might be gummy and indi-
gestible. I would much prefer feed
ing some roots with II. For young
pigs We found oats better than most
feeds. We grind them rs finely rs We
can mix with middlings.-Prof. G. e
