Raising Hogs
For Bacon

The Ontario Agricultural college for
the past five years has been expert
menting with a number Of breeds of
swine for the purpose Of studying the
relation of breeds to economy of pork
production. Commenting upon the re-
suits, Professor G.. E. Day of the col
lege says:
"The results of our experiments are
in direct opposition to the theory that
1t costs more to produce a pound of
gain in a hog of the bacon type than
In one of a thick, fat type. 1t is true
that the Berkshire made a better show
ing in regard to economy of gain than
the Yorkshires and Tamworths, which
| scored highest in the slaughter test,
but it is also true that the Berkshires
were much superior as bacon hogs to
the Duroc Jerseys, Poland-Chinas and
Chester Whites and stood higher in
point Of economy Of gain.
1.-THE last three breeds were the least
suitable for export, and they also
stood at the bottom of the list in point
Of economy of gain.

that a hog of good bacon type a be
fed just as cheaply as II OF an unde-
sirable type. This also applies to ami
mails of the same breed. but Of differ
ent types"
To Make Money With Hogs.
There are several problems before
the man who wants to make money
out of hogs. The first is the breed, and
it is not the most important. Any OF
our standard breeds will do the work
if they are in the right hands. Pick
out one that you like and then stick to
it unless you have the skill to cross
breed and produce something better,
which is seldom. Don't let every big
claim for another breed lead to cross
ing with it.
Breeds of hogs are only what men
make them.-National Stockman.

Cattle Conditions.
A Texas Poll.

Howell Bros, Dallas, Tex.
Cattle Conditions.
The markets are still well supplied
fat steers is gradually decreasing.
There are yet enough to supply the
trade for such kinds, the less particu-
lar trade taking the fair grades. But
it seems probable that before long
there will be a wider range between
the best and the lower grades than now
and that the difference will be made
by a better market for the better cattle
as we'll as a worse one for the others,
says a Chicago correspondent. This Is
too big a country to allow any N to
get at the numbers or condition of
stock to come forward, but what evil
dence we have points to plenty of the
ordinary and only fair classes and not
a large supply of good ones. A little
should sell better. The market for
feeders has been dull recently, and
comparatively few cattle are going
from distributing centers to the coun-
try to be fattened. The price of corn
is too attractive, and 1t is too scarce to
allow a heavy feeding business. The
natural result Of such conditions should
be a better market for good cattle, but
the laws Of trade do not always act
promptly, and it is hard to tell when
this influence will be felt. 1t will be
felt, however, or 1908 will be an excep-
ton to all previous history.
Wonderful Cattle.
A Kansas man has blended Devon,
Holstein, Angus, Shorthorn and Suf-
folk cattle into a breed that the vera
cious newspaper reporter says is las
good for beef as the Angus and as
good for milk as the Jersey" The
world has been trying for a long time
to produce such an animal and hasn't
found it yet, so it is to be hoped that
the Kansas man will trot his out at
st. Louis next year. There he can
demonstrate by comparison whether it
IS as good for beef as the Angus or as
good for the dairy as the Jersey. When
two bodies can occupy the same space
at the same time, when a P~ercheron
horse trots in two minutes or a Jersey

Experiments at the Minnesota sta

the lard producing types are not more
cheaply grown up to the age Of 1876
days than swine Of the bacon produc-

cheaply from swine of the large Inn

SUITS AGAINST RAILROADS.
Rapid Increase in Personal Injury Suits
Since l90l-The Cause.
State Topics.

State Topics.
Statistics of the Texas Railroad
Commission show that, from 1891
to 1908, inclusive, the railroads of
this State were compelled to pay to
damage suit lawyers and their
clients the sum of S9.9So, 230.57
because of personal injury claims.
In 1891, the first year of which a
record of this expense is available,
it was a modest one, aggregrating
only 1928, 1882. After that the
people III some communities of
Texas began to hate the railroads,
and verdicts of juries became pain
full and oppressive. Year by year
the damage suit industry, which
has evolved itself into a plague,
has thrived more and more. The
climax up to date came in 1908,
the enormous amount of 81, o40,-
551.4l. Nearly ten million dollars
in the thirteen years since this re-
cord was begun! Nearly two mill
ion dollars in one year, The sane
and thinking men who serve on
juries in cases of this kind should
think more and weigh well. The
plague, as the above figures show,
is spreading in the State. No cor
poration is exempt from its para
lying effects. And corporations
are not the only sufferers. They
only prove the rule. By and by
the man who allows a box to fall
on his foot may sue the merchant
TO whom if was consigned, or the
man who stumbles over a pillow and
injuries his knee may claim dam
ages from the owner of the farm
on which the plow stood. Either
of these contingencies would be as
just as many of the claims that
have to be paid by the railroads.
1t is time for the beginning of a
rule of right in matters of this
kind. All men, it is declared in
the Constitution. are equsi before
the law. Jurors who serve IN per-,
sonal injury cases should remember
this sturdy Americanism; ~Then
