Points in Brood Sows.

What constitutes a good breeding
sow? The Jersey Hustler in discussing
this question, says:
in addition to the points of a good
boar with a few exceptions a good
breeding SOW should be selected from
a breed apt to fatten readily, and the
individuals which have not become
deteriorated by injudicious crosses, or
by breeding in and In. She should be
the fairest OF the litter whose dam is
a good nurse, good mixer. mild
disposition, and of a good fecundity.
A SOW that has bad points or blemishes
should at once be rejected, for such an
finals are liable to transmit these first
to their progeny.
"A sow must be allowed to farrow
two or three times before it is safe
to conclude upon her excellence as a
breeder. When a young SOW brings
forth ten or twelve at one narrowing.
and Is careful OF them and does not
think more OF gormandiz!ng at the
trough, or of running along In the
field, one need not hesitate to estimate
her as fairly good breeder. But on
the contrary. she brings forth six or
eight Indifferent pigs and roots them
about In her nest, and steps on them
often, and yields but a small supply
of milk, and, above all, Is inclined to
eat them, she should be fattened at
once and slaughtered.

increased from S590,754 to $6,1S2,09S.
Cotton goods have made a striking In
crease. In 1898 the exports of cotton
goods We're Sl7,ca4,o92. and in 1908 they
We're $32,216,304, an increase of nearly
80 per cent. The principal feature Of
this movement has been the enormous
stride in the development of the Chi
Hese market. a noteworthy expansion
has also been made in the trade with
certain Latin-American countries, Col

Asia and Oceanica, other than China.
South Africa and British North Amer

to be matter of necessity with man
ufacturers. What are the fundamental
facts in the situation? Why, simply
these. more capital is invested In, ana
more labor is employed by, American
manufacturing establishments than can
obtain living out of them unless their
markets are very materially widened.
The situation can not be judged by Il
few years now and then of exceptional
prosperity at home, but must be viewed
in the light of broad tendencies. Ex-
amined in this way, the fact is incon-
trovertible that year in and year out,
our mills can produce enough for twelve
months domestic consumption in very
much less than that time-in six
months, 1t Is claimed by some. There
is bound to be increasing competition
for the domestic market. and an out
let must be found for the surplus. Cap
ital is increasing at such an enormous
rate from the development of natural
resources that it has become difficult
to find adequate employment for 1t.
1t has required but slight incentive
to turn II in the direction of manufac-
turing. Not only must the enormous
interests of this nature that have al
ready been acquired be safeguarded,
but outlets must be found for the great
annual increase provided for by new
capital

COMPARATIVE COST OF LIVING.

Just at present when the high cost OF
living is a subject under discussion ir
American journals and homes. certain
statistical information furnished by
the United States consul, Muench, of
the cost of necessaries at Plauen, Ger

comparison. Wholesale prices of meats
as given by the consul, would gladden.
the hearts of American meat producers.
Steers by the hundred sell at Is cents
per pound, veal on the foot at 10 cents,
sheep at cents and pork at 10. These
are prices quoted on quantities. At re-
tail meats sell at from % cents to 40
cents per pound. The price of wheat
flour Is double American prices and
is beyond the reach of workingmen and
small farmers. Consul Muench's figures
show that the consumption of meats

To Fatten a Horse.

Horses to sell we'll, either stations
or geldings, must be fat and they re-
quire heavy feeding. The opinion IS
ing Of horses is comparatively easy
matter. but in fact it Is Just as diff
cult to properly fit a horse as 1t Is 20
fit bull or steer for show. The stal-
lion usually gets this forcing at about
two and a half years ot age and the
mare or gelding for market sometime
after they are four. In the forcing OF
stations almost everything horse
will eat is brought into use. except
corn. and some men even use 1t. but
always with bad results. Stations are
better off if they never taste corn. The
ration often includes bran, oats, bar
ley. sometimes rye, carrots, mangels.
rutahagas, sugar heets, potatoes, green
feed. molasses. milk, sugar. cut hay.
etc. Many OF these are often cooked.
or all OF them bran may be said to
be the most important, for any Of the
others may be dispensed with better
than 1t. 1t IS cooling to the system,
makes light. soft feed and balances
the ration. Next oats Is used in the
largest quantities and Is fed in many
different forms-whole. rolled, ground
and cooked. Barley Is one of the
ways cooked, but may be fed rolled
or .coarsely ground, but never whole.
Horses when fed on barley make large
gains Very little rye is fed and 1t Is
nearly always cooked.
Roots are very important In the. ra-
ton and good feeders Always object
to fitting a horse without them. Car
rots are very beneficial tn keeping the
system in tone and giving good APP
petite. for horses fed them will eat
more grain; they are fed raw. Bsets,
mangels and potatoes are always
cooked. while the much-relished ruta-
Molasses Is very satisfactory in giving
large gains and also sweetens the feed
so that the horses will eat more. Milk
and sugar are sometimes fed to show
horses, but they produce soft flesh and
In general are not satisfactory except
in forcing young colts. OIL cake Is also
used and in limited quantities gives
excellent results. Cut hay must be
used literally and all mashes and
cooked feeds should be seasoned with
salt.
With heavy horses the hay is very
important as 1t gives middle and lets
them down in the flank. Therefore, II
should be clean. sweet and bright so
they will relish it. They should be
watered often so as not to drink so
much at time: at least twice in win
