and easily fed on clovers and grasses. Sorghum
is a splendid f~attening feed, and makes an enor-
nous growth on the eastern peaty soils. There
are many other crops that the farmers of North
Carolina know well that can be grown and
changed to pork to great advantage.
Hog raising on a large scale is something new
in North Carolina, but with the more general
recognition of the adaptability of many parts of
the State to this industry it must come to be
one of our foremost lines of live stock. Any
man who will take it up in the right way, with a
good breed to begin with, cannot only make a
good long profit at pork production, but can find
ready local market for good breeding stock, and
have the satisfaction of knowing that he is doing
a missionary work at the same time. Think of
it, not a single North Carolina swine breeder ad-
vertising stock for sale in this paper!
Mr.. French, in article issue March 18th, seems
to have misunderstood me in regard to the rela-
comparison was in reference to feed and keep
only-this Mr.. French himself places at $500
each for two years. 1t was not suggested to grow
mules in competition with steers, or in prefer
ence to them, in any sense of the word, but sim
ply this: If a number of work horses are going
to be kept, give preference to mares of some
heavy breed and raise mules. If the horse is
on investment, feed, and sinking fund, without
having to charge this $27OO to the colt.

er cloths sweet and bleached (having been in sun
all day., the separator was as bright and clean
as the day it was made, the farmers wife in
plain, neat, clean dress, hair well combed-in
fact, it was an interesting picture throughout.
The visitor saw enough at those two farms to
convince him that there is a way to have good
or bad milk and butter.
If any reader of The Progressive Farmer is
troubled with sour milk or cream twenty-four
hours after milking let him begin at the barn,
clean up, clean up yourself, do all of your part
just as clean as water and scrubing can do.
Keep it up. If your wife sees you do your part
right, she will very soon change also. You will
find the pals and strainers clean, milk will taste
better, butter keep longer and sell for more
money, wife and children will be neat, and no
excuse made to visitors about dirty children.
Mr.. Farmer, you cannot expect your wife to
be neat and tidy if you are an old SLOUGH.

Milk on the Farm.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

A good test of character is the ability to take
honest criticism with self-respect and act upon
it. The mmen herein made are solely with a
view of being helpful to fellow farmers.
The writer enjoys a visit to a farm. There is
different scene at every farm; some are neat,
tidy, attractive; others are not so. Where one
finds neatness there you find milk that is good
food; there milk will keep sweet a reasonable
time; there butter is not old a day after churn-
ing. An invitation to take Il meal is accepted
gladly because one can see that no matter how
plain the food may be, ~neatness has prevailed in
the preparation of it.
Brother Farmers, did you ever drive over to
So-and-so's about milking time in the afternoon
and find the COWS plastered from hip bone to fet-
lock, part of plaster wet and part dry? Did you
notice the battered pail, with a rim of old dry
milk along the seams, and the unwashed hands
of the mixer? Did you notice the pepper APP
pearance of the milk in the pail as it wa. carried
to the house! Did you notice that the strainer
cloth was yellow and stiff with old milk, and the
jars had a CHEEKY smell? Was your neighbor's
wife slouchy in her dress, hair in disorder, the
children dirty, and your neighbor smoking a dirty
pipe as milk was being put away! If such was
the condition on that farm, then it is impossible
to have sweet milk or good butter there.
Don't have such conditions on your own farm.
Get every thing clean; keep all clean. Your
~neighbor seeing how you do, will improve his
ways.
A man called at a farm once to see a separator
at work, got there during milking hour, the milk
in pals was well peppered with black specks (dis-
gusting), it was poured through a sour cloth,
separator was black, dingy, and a coat of dried
milk lined the inside of the bowl. What quality
of butter is made at that farm?
The same called at another farm to see the
work of a different kind of separator. Here he
was met by two neat, clean little girls. They
said: Papa is milking" Here the mixers each

V.-More About Hog Raising-AR Reply to Mr. French.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
On every farm the hog industry should be of
sufficient Importance to consume waste products,
and on most farms there is enough waste material
to make the meat for home consumption.
But outside of this, in some parts of our State,
there are very exceptional opportunities for
swine raising OH a large scale. Where there are
very fertile lands, yet meagre transportation ia
c%ilities which would be a drawback to marketing
a bulky crop, or a truck crop which is soon per-
ishable, we must look to some condensed and
more finished form in which to bring these fruits
of the soil to the markets.
Well cured hog meat is one of the best forms
in which this rank vegetable growth can be mar
keted. We have got too "set in our ways" down
here in North Carolina about feeding methods.
Corn and fodder for the horse, and corn for the
hog, is too fast a rule. The hog is very cheaply

THE HOG FOR SOUTHERN FARMS.

The hog for the Southern farms is not neces-
sarily one that has a special breed pretixed to its
name. [ think all of us are inclined to become
breed fanciers. We get attached to a certain
breed and fail to see good III any other kind.
Our ideas become as fixed and as dogmatic as our
creeds or politics. | think the hog for us in the
South is the one that will produce the most meat
at least cost. If we accept this statement in
the right way, / am sure we will profit by it. 1t
may sound like a platitudc, but yet it is good
common sense. / feel it ones duty to keep away
from narrowness. | am, therefore, going to prac-
tice this by recommending no one breed of swine.
/ like the Berkshire and l like the Poland China;
and then l like the Duroc Jersey, and / think a
good deal of the Essex. But / don't like the razor
back. 1t takes too long for him to mature and
it requires too much feed to grow their long legs,
that snout, and that long tail and coarse hair.
These don't sell when the carcass comes to the
butchers block.
Hence, | would have a hog that puts meat
where it finds a market. The Berkshire, the
Poland China, the Duroc Jersey and the Essex
do this. Hence, | think type should come before
breed; and by type, l mean simply those charac-
~teristics that go to make a profitable hog. Here
they are: Short snout, dished back and short;
porky neck; upright shoulders, we'll covered and
fine; long, broad back with deep sides; wide hips
that are broad and deep; thick thighs, with meat
close down to hooks, and short legs, both fore
and hind. The belly line should be straight and
parallel to the top line. Such a hog represents
a profitable type.
HOW TO GET THEM.
The most practical way is to select from the
brood sows you now possess, those that are pro
life and that come nearest conforming to the type
suggested. Then decide on breed that will meet
your own ideas and your home conditions. AT
ter all, your own taste will be likely to cast the
deciding vote. Now, with this decision made, get
a good male. He must be pure-bred and he should
be of the type heretofore described: use him and
then stick to this breed. Your breed Of hogs will
quickly improve, and become a source Of profit
to the farm in proportion to the care, the pas
ture and the feed given them.

HEARING.

Representative Steenerson TO-
day filed a request with the secre-
tary Of the interior that he be
heard before regulations for the
sale of the Red Lake lands are
promulgated. Steenerson favors
a sale by auction, while the secre-
tary wants to sell the lands by
sealed bids, as was done recently
with the Leech Lake timber.
Minneapolis journal.
We believe that an auction sale
of the Red Lake lands would be
to the advantage of the Indian
interests since it would be imposs-
ible for any collusion between the
bidders as there will be too many
of them to form a combination.
Open bidding under these circutn>
stances, will create d lively COM
petition while scaled bids would
be made in the priva of bid.
