BEEF CATTLE

British cattlemen are much stirred
up over the recent regulation adopted
by the Smithfield club that fat animals
shall not be shown more than one time.
In view or the fact that no change has
been made in the classes, it is rather a
strange rule which forbids all young
stock to be carried over to win rib
bons another year. The promising calf
or yearling, according to this decree,
must not be shown until two-year-old
or else must be slaughtered after being
once shown, which is likely to result
in falling of IN the show in one class
or the other. IL not In both. In the
greatest American fat stock show, the
international. such rule would GER
tainly result in lessened exhibits, says
Stockman and Farmer. Some steers
were on exhibition at the late show for
the third time, having been shown as
calves. yearlings and two-year-olds, and
then were defeated by a steer bought
out OF car load and fed about seven
months. From which 1T appears that
1T is no hardship to the new feeder to
allow the others to bring back their
cattle.

THE HOG AND
ITS PRODUCTS

In Denmark they look upon barley as
the best feed for good bacon. Exercise
is conducive TO firm bacon, and II plenty
OF buttermilk is used do not think
there is any danger OF soft bacon, says
Professor G. Z. Day. After pig
reaches 75 or 100 pounds almost any
thing can be given 1t In the way OF
feed Some OF our packers have been
advocating keeping the hogs until they
are eight or ten months old as a help
to produce the firm bacon, but II fed
right hog may be put on the market
at six months old. / think In many in
stances the value OF roots has been
underestimated, but they certainly help
TO keep the hogs in good condition and
prevent them from becoming too fat
when young. Without roots our diff
Guilty has been to get them to grow
rapidly without getting fat 1t is a
little difficult to explain the reason.
The question of wheat feeding has
never been taken up by our institution.
In feeding 1t / should mix something
bulky with it or ii might be gummy
and indigestible. / would much prefer
feeding some roots with It, For young
pigs we found oats better than most

Largest Hog Farm In New England.
Over 1000 hogs are kept by w. w.
Rawson, the well known scotsman and
market gardener OF Massachusetts,, on
a 800 acre farm. which he purchased
In the spring OF 1902. The farm, which
lies about six miles from Haverhill, II

directions and considerable distance
from any neighbors. The land is OF Il

natural drainage.-American Agricul-

The Farmers Pork Barrel.
The farmer who raises few pigs for
his pork barrel may count the cost and
affirm that pigs do not pay, but where
few pigs are raised they will consume
large amount Of material that would

When the pork barrel Is full the farmer
is at least fortified for the winter with
meat. and in many cases where no pigs
are kept there Is n waste OF material
that could be utilized with the aid of
at least one or two porkers.

How to Catch n sheep.

A sheep should never be caught by
its wool, says Pacific Homestead. This
method not only causes the animal I'M
necessary pain, but in the case OF fat
sheep that are TO be killed it does much
harm to the joint OF mutton that lies
underneath where the wool was pulled.
1t causes n dark bruise just in the same
manner as our bodies become discolored
from being bruised
The proper way to catch a sheep is to
take ii either by the hind leg just above
the gambrel joint or by putting the
hand underneath its jaw or neck. In
using crook II Is important that the
sheep are not caught below the gam
