The TamwOrth
Breed of Swine

The Tamworth is strictly a bacon
hams and long sides that make up in
to the best breakfast bacon. writes c.
B. Metcalfe in Farm and Ranch.
A distinctive feature of the bacon
breed is the form and growth of its
side, or "middling." The Tamwo.th has
been bred for several generations with
view to shaping this middling up diff
ferently from that Of the lard breeds
until his advocates claim to have
hog that will produce a side Of almost
equal thickness from belly to back
bone and from shoulder to ham, we'll
streakcG with lean throughout, nearly
all of which will make up into the
choicest breakfast bacon.
Tamworths are remarkable for heart
mess of constitution, great prOlifica-
cy and their wonderful success in rear
ing every pig born, for notwithstand-
ing their great size with a nestful of
pigs they hardly ever overlay pig.
One SOW brought eight litters. and in
those eight filters, all born in three and
one half years. she saved and raised
eighty-three pigs.
The Tamwovth Is of value to the
American farmer in its use for cross
ing on our stout bodied, short legged
and chunky lard hogs, which will make
not only cross, but hybrid as well,
the cross being Of two entirely different
species, Tamworths being pure Sus
scrofa, while the lard breeds are made
up largely of the species Sus indicus.
B. f. Dawley, director Of the New
York farmers institute, says of the
Tamworth:
THE Tamworth is bright cherry

THE PROFITABLE PORKER.
Costs Less to Raise Spring Pigs Than
Those of Other Seasons.


The cost of the pig in growing it sue
cessfully into matured porker is the
topic of interest to the hog raiser. This
involves the question of when the pig
should be farrowed to most proftably
meet this end. The summer pig, the
fall pig and the winter pig all have
their drawbacks and hindrances in hog
development at one end or the other Of
their existence The American Swine
herd in discussing this subject refers to
the claim, made by the Indiana eX
pertinent station, that pigs narrowed in
March, April and May are best for
proftably converting into pork. 1t is
late enough to usually avoid the severe
weather Of the season and enables
them to be grown during the summer
season and fattened before winter sets
in
1t offers an opportunity to have the
pigs do their growing during that sea
son of the year when grass or pasture
is in condition to be used. They can
actually be reared at less cost than
during any other period of the year
1t is possible to plant green spring
crops that will furnish cheap feed for
the filters and sows and do much to-
ward promoting the development Of
bone and flesh.
From experience of feeders ut the
experiment stations the pig increases
with great profit until six or seven
months Old, when it has reached the
maximum. After that the pigs re-
quire larger amount of grain to pro-
duce given amount Of pork, and they
should be fattened and disposed Of.
One bushel of corn made Is 1-3
pounds of pork at six months old; at
seven months old, one bushel made 1872
pounds. and eight months old one bush
ell made 1876 pounds.
While there are varying conditions
that have their influence upon the
amount of gain made, it Is general
principle that after six or seven
months the amount of gain from q
bushel of corn is on decreasing scale.
These gains do not come up to the
ones that have been secured by indi-
viduals. 1t may have been partially
in the quality of the pigs, as there is
great deal of characteristics of certain
animals. We have farmers who have
sows and boars that they can scarce
ly feed little enough to keep them
from getting too fat, they have such
propensity of assimilation, which is
out of all proportion compared with
others

Breeds of Sheen.

The question of breed should be large
ly one of fancy and environment, says
American Sheep Breeder All breeds

place. If the fancier has poor. rough,
rugged farm some of the smaller breeds
would be found to do better than the
heavier breeds. 1t would be too much
to expect the Lincoln for instance, the
product of low. fertile lands, to do well
on the bleak, sparsely grassed high
lands of Scotland.

Success I'm
Stock Raising

The breeding principles adopted by
l.. ii. kerrick of Illinois, the world re-
nowned cattle feeder in establishing a
type Of steer for the most economical
beef production should be adopted by
the breeder Of other kinds OF live stock,
says National stockinan, and then con-
tinues
Mr. Kcrrick said in relating the story
of his success at the Iowa state insti-
tute that when he commenced the feed
ing business he celld not find breed
OF cattle that prO,.lced type Of steer
exactly to his liking. but he could see
all of the beef points in two breeds
viz, the Shortlogn ana the Angus. SO
he procured Il lot of the best grade
ShortllOrn cows that he could pick up.
Then he gOl an Angus bull as near his
ideal type as could lie had. From this
stock he procured his feeding steers,
keeping the best heifers for breeding
stock. In all his after breeding he
used the bull that was nearest his
ideal beef type, Every one who has
htil III lOuC!l Will tilc great Sullic
feeders of the country knows of Mr..
Kerrick's success. He commenced
about twenty years. ago and was sue
Ce7stuI from the start.
Was not his Plan Il shorter and bet
ter route 10 success than to have tried
to get his type Of beef steer from some
breed that did not have the type de-
mandcd eXceit in very rare and re-
mote instances; The fundamental prin-
ciplcs of breeding are the same wher-
ever applied. Right" applied they mean
progress, but if not they mean retro
gression or at best little progress.
Breeding PoIIcd Calves.
Answering the query, Are double
standard rol!cl Durham bulls as sure
to get po.lel calves from horned COWS
as are Angus bulls?' +. S. Hines says
in breeders Gazette:
Without knowledge as to the per
centage of pollcl calves got by Angus
bulls used on horned COWS it would
naturally seem that the Angus bulls
would be the surer dehorncrs, as they
have been bred hornless for many gen
cratiOns. while Polled Durhams are
not many removes from horns. How
ever there are many Polled Durham
bulls that lave made excellent records
"A dehorncrs. some having as high as
30 per cent of polied calves from horn
ed COWS.
If your correspondent wishes to breed
pollcl calves his best course would be
to buy an aged Polled Durham bull
with a good record as dehorner.
There l. n great deal Of the lottery
about this "breeding off the horns"
Just rs there is in breeding in general,
and some bulls with many polled cross
eS are not as sure dehornerS as those
with only one cross of polled blood.
Therefore | should advise your CORE
spondent uot TO try young bun, but
to get ono that is known by his works.

Money In Sheep. ,

1t seems strange that while the sup
DIV of cattle and hogs Is on the in
crease in this country the number Of
sheep is decreasing, says Shepherds
Criterion. This seems more strange
when one stops to consider how prolific
sheep are and how quickly the supply
in the United States might be doubled
if stockmen would turn their atten
ton to it. 1t is stranger still when fig
ures show that sheep are the most
profitable animals the farmer can raise.
Year in and year out there is positively
more money in sheep than anything
else the farmer can produce. Mr.
Farmer, If you don't raise sheep you
are overlooking an opportunity.
