while any of the leading thorough
breds will weigh from $50 to 300
pounds at eight to nine months old
and the thoroughbred pork is worth
from two to three cents more per
pound. One would make 70 mistake in
raising Poland Cbinas, Berkshlres,
Chesters and various othprs. I prefer
the Chesters, as the sows are very
prolific breeders, often narrowing from
eight to twelve pigs, and they make
the best Of mothers. The pigs will
take on flesh rapidly, and the only
objection that | have head urged
against them is that they have thin
skin and light coats of hair, and will
sunbnrn and get NANCY. I find by
experience that they only get in this
condition when not properly fed and
are allowed to get poor; SO will all
black hogs, OF hogs Of any color, but
they do not show 1t as much as white
hogs. There Is no profit in keeping
an animal in this condition; and 1t not
only destroys the profits, but it is
morally wrong to starve a dumb brute.
To parody the lines of the poet:
Sunburn and mango from poor condi-
lions rise;
Feed well your hogs, there all the
profit lies.
In raising hogs | think Il best to
have all the sows farrow about the
same time; this may be done by keep
Ink the bears away from the sows.
Then two weeks previous TO the time
the sows are to be bred, the principal
pert of their food should be threshed
oats Then turn the boar with them.
and they will be likely to farrow near
the same time. By this method you
Will have hogs Of uniform size to put
on the market, which will bring re-
m%rnorative prices and, besides, save a
vast amount of trouble in caring for
pigs of different ages. Hogs can be
raised successfully on almost any farm,
but some farms are better adapted for
the business owing to the abundant
supply of fresh water and plenty of
shade, which Is essential for the de-
v%elopment of the hogs during the sum-
mer months. We strongly advocate
the hog wallow. 1t has the same eff
feet on the hog that grooming has on
the horse. Not a stagnated pond. but
a wallow beside a running stream Is
best. Hogs are not ex-scavengers, as
some people seem to think, but are
naturally a clean animal If allowed to
be SD. l prefer the colony plan In
caring for brood sows-one-fourth of
an acre sowed to clover with q stream
of water running through each lot Cf
not natural, then artiflcial), and the
narrowing pen built neal the center of
the lot. By using this method, the
sows are not disturbed by each other.

There was little need. 1t appears.

balloons will facilitate observation. Be-
fore the war the Russian authorities
loaded on a vessel a complete baaloon
equipment for Manchuria, but 1t was
captured by the Japaneas, who will
use 1t perhaps in their operations
against Port Arthur.
Recognizing the need Of providing
General Stoessel with all the requisite
instruments with which to conduct the
defense Of Port Arthur, General Kuro-

this is not really so, as the decorations

In naval circles the Japanese catas-
trophe is a matter of rejoicing, though
regrets are expressed that brave men
have lost their lives, just as Japan
voiced its sorrow to the world when
brave men went down with the Petro-
pavlovsk. But this feeling of sympa-
thy is swallowed up in the greater
thanks given for the blowing up of the
sea power of the enemy. 1t is pointed
out that the Hatsuse was one of ia

loss of two and possibly four warships
at intervals of few days cannot fail
to affect Japan and to influence the
course of the campaign.
