III discussing bacon hogs Mr.. Diet
rich says that the representative Eng
nsh bacon hog belongs primarily to
Great Britain, Denmark and Canada.
In recent years this hog has been in
troduced into the United States and Is
rapidly establishing for itself market
class. Many hogs are sold on the Chi
cago and other markets of the United
States for bacon purposes, but the
greater part of them are not of the
ideal bacon type.
This hog must be long in body, deep
in side. with comparatively narrow
back, narrow and light hams and
shoulders and light, muscular neck.
In the countries where hogs OF this
class were in the past principally pro-
duced corn is grown in very limited
quantities, and the principal feed for
uObS 10 buAiNgs OhlsS PNoSp ~, hOOs',
wheat and its products.
The bacon hog of the United States
type differs considerably from the
English bacon hog. There is, however,
a growing tendency toward the typical
bacon type. The indications point to
the fact that we are at the parting Of
the way" and that In the future we
will have a place for the ideal bacon
hog as well as for the fat or lard hog.
Corn is at present being used for 9TH
er purposes. such as the manufacture
OF cornstarch, whisky and oil. At the
same time a ration of all corn, which
usually forms the principal part of the
feed of the fat or lard hog, is coming to
be generally recognized rs detrimental
to the best development Of swine from
the breeders standpoint. Coupled with

A Clever Retort.

Sir William Fraser records clever
retort made by Lord Adolphus Fltz
Clarence when in France In attendance
on the English queen. He met the
Prince de Jolnville. who, as French
admiral. professed to be patriotically
belllcose toward England In particular.
He said TO Lord Adolphus In friendly
manner: "You, my lord, and are
seamen. | have had but one dream In
life--to command n smart French frig-
ate and to lay my own alongside of an
English ship OF the same strength for
twenty minutes" Lord Adolphus re-
piled in perfect spirit or courtesy.

The oat crop Is one that requires n
great deal OF moisture throughout the
season, and the best crop Is assured by
preparing the soil so 1t will conserve
moisture. The reason the old plan Of
seeding oats In corn stubble fails so
frequently Is because the ground Is
stirred shallow and wet early In spring
time and when few weeks OF dry
weather come 1t bakes as hard as the
road and remains In this condition un-

In too big hurry about sowing oats.

this there Is not so great a demand for
fat pork as there formerly was, and
shipping and cold storage facilities are
much better; consequently more fresh
and lean meats are used.
There is demand on the markets or
this country from foreign countries
and more largely from our own coun-
try for bacon, and, there>being few ba-
con hogs to supply the demand, the
trade is supplied from the lighter hogs
of the fat or lard hog type. This bacon,
however. does not command 80 high n

The Bacon Type of Hog Receiving
Greater Attention In This Country.
In selling hogs TO the local buyer or
shipper the farmer is very often at a
decided disadvantage because he can
not interpret market reports to the full
extent of their meaning and therefore
either does not get what his hogs are
worth or loses sale by asking too
much for them.
An attempt has been made by. the
Illinois experiment station to explain
how swine are classified and graded
on the Chicago and other markets.
This attempt has been made with a
view TO benefiting the average farmer,
