THE HOG FOR THE FARMER
It's the Kind That Grows Well and
Can Be Made Ready for
Market Quickly.

Says a swine grower: The generA
purpose hog of the day is the eariy-to-
market kind. Be he white, black or red.
lOp-eared or stiff-eared, the farmers OF
this country will demand the early-ma-
turing kind. He will consume our corn
and remain the corn-belt hog withal.
but the signs of the times point to the
modification of the present corn-bet
type.
He is found in most of the corn-bet
breeds to greater or lesser degree, and
a man need not leave the breed to which
he is attached to find his ideal. Each
breeder of pure breeds may think he has
the type closest to the general purpose
hog. He has that right. However, ii he
does not do all in his power to keep close
to that type, the farmers will forcibly re-
mind him of his failure in way that will
affect his pocket book, by purchasing
their new brood elsewhere.
Technically speaking, he is at present
wide and short of head, deep of heart and
sides, broad of back, with soft coat.
and just enough bone to carry him to
market The tendency to excessive bone
mas not always been found conducive to
easy feeding, early maturing qualities
Enough is enough. His disposition
must be quiet. He must ever be ready
to make friends with his master and his
general character should indicate the
easy feeder.
he should be practically fat and ready
1or market at any period of his life, and
finish at nine months old, when Re
should weigh a high mark to shoot at.
Why do we want the early-maturing
KIND? Because the first part of hogs
lie is the period of rapid growth.
Prof Henry shows, in his Feeds and
Feeding that pig gains rs per cent. Of
growth the first week of it's life. but grad
ually drops in it's per cent of gain till
say, the tenth week, when it makes but
Fl per cent. per week.

STORING STRAW UNDER COVER.

in any portion of the NOW. BY using
truss rods and braces we have no in

who is manipulating the stacker and
who usually stands on the rear of the

the stacker where it enters the NOV

lust where you want the straw and
the man in the now need only to

straw saved the outlay of dollars this
spring in the purchase OF high-priced
hay. as 1 fed my entire oat straw
crop with profit. Where it is at all
possible give some attention to the
matter of storing straw under cover
and easy of access at all times and, my
word for it, you will never regret it,

The doughty little state of Delaware.
the first of the IL original states to
adopt the Constitution, contains 1884,
735 loyal inhabitants, Of whom only rs
per cent. are foregn born. This and
many other statistical and geographic
cal facts are contained in "A Gazet-
teer of Delaware" compiled by Mr..
Henry Gannett and recently published
as Bulletin No. 230 by the United
States geological survey.
The gazetteer contains list, alpha
betlcally arranged, of all the stations,
villages, towns, cities, creeks, rivers,
and counties of the state, with a brief
description of each. A general descrip-
ton OF the state precedes the gazet-
teer proper.
Next to the surprisingly small for
elgn population, considering the loca-
ton of the little state along the Allan
tic shore, the most significant figures
given are those relating to the per-
centage of illiteracy. Of the total
population ten years of age and over,

In 1900 there were 1851 farms in the
state, of which more than nine-tenths
were operated by white farmers.
Half of these were operated by tenants.
The average size of the farms was no
acres, which is considerably less than
the average size of the farms through
out the country. The average value
per farm of all farm property was
$4,201, and the value of products per
farm was $685.

establishments in the state in 1900
was 1,417, with a total capital of
$41,203,239 and 22,303 employees

HOW TO MAKE SHEEP PAY.

The ewes should be two years old be-
fore bred.
Lambs sell more per pound and cost
less to produce than mutton.
If sheep are not kept constantly in
good condition the quality of the wool
is affected.
Frequent changes of pasture makes
lat sheep. 1t will not pay to rear poor
sheep for market.
Sheep should always be fat when mar
keted Fat is produced cheaper than
lean, hence there is more profit.
There are very few animals that are as
dainty and choice about their food as
sheep.
Under present conditions of sheep
raising the farmer cannot afford to keep
sheep for any one object.
If sheep is not making good growth,
raising lamb or two into market condi-
ion, it is not profitable to the owner.
With sheep change of pasture will be
found an advantage when the focks can
be put in better place.
When man has improved his flock,
until he can sell his poorest sheep at re-
munerative prices, he can then afford the

city, but be it said to the credit of
these hotels, they are no higher priced
during the exposition than they were

The people of st. Louis are playing the

the prices charged for the accommodate

Yet another among the thousand of
exhibits that may be classed as edu-
cational is to be found in every aisle,
in every corner of the Agricultural
building. Here spread out before you
are the products of the earth's harvest
fields. In this one building, big enough
in itself to contain the whole of the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo,
are the farm products of every coun-
try. Here are sheaves of grain and
heaps Of corn, made opulent with milk
and honey and butter, cotton-seed oil
and cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, and
fruit. There are towers and pagodas
and pictures and panoramas in corn
husks, corn-cobs, corn-tassels and corn
kernels, tobacco-leaves and tobacco
grains, wheat-straw and wheat-heads
and wheat-grains; and there are fig
ures in cotton and butter and sugar
and prunes and nuts. There are dec
orations in wavy moss and hemp, in
rice-sheaves and prairie grasses. You
know at last the wealth of each state,
for packed into each of the different
sections is an abundant sample of all
that springs from one states soil
whether it be hill-farm potatoes,
swamp rice, sea-island cotton, bottom
land corn, prairie wheat, desert dates
or irrigated alfalfa. And in the same
way you know the agricultural wealth
of each of the worlds nations, for they
are spread out before you for your in
spection.

wonderful exposition, what is the

cation? 1t may be much or little, just

A SUGGESTION FROM OHIO.
Storing Straw from Machine Under
Cover Is a Practice That Seems ~
to Pay arite Well.

Having experienced some Of the CO.. g
veniences and inconvenience of stor-
ing straw both in open yards and un-
der cover possibly the experience may.
be of benefit to oFIers. Needing addi-
tional stabling for cattle, I thought it
would be cheaper and more convenient
to construct the straw NOW in connec-
ton with cattle barn. The barn prop
er is G. feet long with threshing floor
and feed room running cross-Wise.
The diagram herewith will give fair
ly clear idea of the location of the adj
dition containing the cattle below and
the straw above. Experience thus far
shows that I could not locate it more
satisfactorily The straw is thrown
down into the feed room in the barn
very convenient to cattle, horses o.
sheep. 1t is then thrown into the diff
ferent managers where the stock may
eat what they desire, and what they
leave is used for bedding. We all
know the inconvenience Of bringing
straw from stack in the yard when
frozen, and on windy days, especially in
March or April, when we desire dry.

WHALE FISHING REVIVED,
Small Boats Now Used Around New
foundland and Bombs for
the "Strike."

Instead of two and three-year voy-
ages in which ships boats are used in
capturing the giants of the deep, the
Newfoundland whole industry is pros
ecuted in the immediate waters of the
island by the use of small but handy
steamers of about 100 tons burden, with
a speed of about 13 knots. The 'strike'
is made with bomb fired from gun at
the bow of the steamer. A successful
shot results in almost instant death, and
three, four and even five whales a day
have been taken by single crews. Ono
steamer brought to the shore five whales
each day for three days in succession,
and another killed % in a single week.
That is the purely commercial side of
the industry, and is quite as dull and
prosaic as digging potatoes.
But there is another side which is full
of thrill and excitement. Taken as
sport, it bears about the same relation
to the most exciting salmon or tarpon
fishing that those sports bear to the
pursuit of the shore clam. One day last
March 91-foot bull whale, struck but
not vitality injured, towed the Puma
around and across and up and down
Placentia bay for three days before a.
killing shot could be sent into his huge
body. Reversed engines throughout the
fight failed to tire the monster. Again
and again he charged the little vessel,
and ramming was avoided only by the
UuiCkneSS of the steamer. After "a
hours of this, there came the oppor-
tunity for killing shot.
The Humber had 28-hour struggle
with another off Cape Spear. The Cabot
had 19-hour fight with an 8S-footer.
Six to 12-hour runs with danger in everv
minute of them are frequent. When
killed, the whales are taken to shore
stations where the oil is tried out, the
Whalebone, now worth about $4,000 a
ton, is extracted, and the refuse ground
up for fertilizer.

Keep the Pig Sly Healthy.

The pig-sty is filled with materials
for absorbing manure, but they are not
cleaned as frequently as should be the
case. In winter, if the yard contains
absorbents, they become soaked dur
ing rains, and are disagreeable loca-
lions for people or pigs. The pig pre-
fers dry location, as it suffers severe
ly on damp, cold days. The materials
in the pig-sty will be of more service
if added to the manure heap and a
plentiful supply of cut straw thrown
into the yard in it's place. The COW
cred shed, or sleeping quarters, should
be Uttered foot deep with cut straw,
which may be thrown into the yard
after being used, but the yard should
always be cleaned out after a rain and
dry material then added.

BARLEY as Food for Stock.

Barley is not extensively grown, yet
it is a superior stock food and will
grow on soils that will not produce
wheat. In England hogs are fattened
on barley, and the meat contains more
lean than that produced from corn
In feeding pigs as a test barley gave
better results than corn, pound OF
growth being secured from three and a
half pounds of barley, at a cost of two
cents per pound, which was better
than from any other food. Pigs, how
ever, grow more rapidly than adult
hogs. Ground grains proved superior
to the unground. In steer feeding both
corn and wheat surpassed barley. and
with lambs the results were about the
same with corn, wheat and barley.
Corn and barley mixed gave better re-
suits than either alone in some -cases-
These tests should make barley fav-
orite where it is rot now grown at all

To all this Stede Bonnet did not
answer a word; he did not even raise
his head.

said Blackboard, suddenly turning to-
ward Ben Greenway, what would you
like? Would it suit you better to go

my pious crew."

own effects which he cared for, and
he also took the ex-pirate's uniform,
