Where there is a large herd the east
est plan is to spray with kerosene emul-

well. If only a few are kept, a thor

The EnZGrDucl, Cross.

The EnzGrDuck Cross.
There is no doubt that crossing high
ly bred Logs on the raZorback improves
the vigor and vitality of the progeny.
says Farm and Ranch. But this vigor
can be had without going down grade
for it. Cross fine breed on another
fine breed, and you have it without los
ing the rapid maturing and improved
feeding qualities, resulting from long
and careful breeding. Nevertheless if
a farmer has some large raZorback
sows and introduces a well bred male
of any of the improved breeds he will
by proper feeding and care have hogs
that he can profitably feed and market.
Running Water For Hogs.
Fol the comfort Of the hog | do not
believe any water supply is better than
a running stream which does not fail,
says Robert l.. Dean in National Stock
man. Objection is made to this as q
carrier of disease germs. No doubt
streams are Il source of danger when
a cholera outbreak occurs, but at such
times the hogs can be removed to 9th
er parts of the farm. | do not believe
it wise to have an irOnclad rule that
hogs shall be excluded from the run
ming stream. At least our experience
for many years indicates this.
Raising Breeders.
Pigs intended for breeders should be
kept vigorous, strong and healthy. To
do this give them the run of q good
pasture, all the milk you can spare,
plenty of heterogeneous foods, such as
peas, cracked wheat. shorts and the
like. If they have plenty Of exercise
and grass. they will seldom get too fat;
but if fattening becomes apparent de-
crease the amount of feed slightly.
We lead Ia Hogs.
America is the greatest hog prOduc-
ing country in the world. This is the
result of the enterprise of the Ameri-
can farmers and the wonderful adapt
ability of the country to the produc-
ton of hog food. Breeders have done
much for the American hog raiser by
perfecting the most prolific and pro-
ductive breeds known.

Stage AbsurditieS.

There IS a discussion Of the imDor-

universities. which should be interest
ing to university professors in this
country, ana to all who are concerned
with the higher education. There are
some pithy observations on the reals
tic drama Of the present day which Will
appeal to quite another element. The
author saws:
Yet how many absurdities has the
stage revealed during the last decadel
We have heard real horses Gathering
over boards with their real hoofs. We
have seen a sham jockey chueked into
sham water jump from the back Of
q real winner of the Grand National.
We have heard the ripple Of a rlyulet
flowing through the forest of Arden
a rivuIet Of the company's water. which
traced its scource to the nearest tap.

fresh from Covent Garden. pretending
that they had struck their roots into

And the actors never see the fncon-
