liam Dietrich, and is on lines similar
to the well known classification of
cattle by Professor Mumford.
In discussing bacon hogs Mr.. Diet
rich says that the representative Eng
lish 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 a 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
hogs is barley, oats, peas, rye, roots,
wheat and its products.
The bacon hog of the United States
type differs considerably from the
English bacon hog. There is, however,
n 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 we'll 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 t
be generally recognized as detrimental
to the best development Of swine from
the breeders standpoint. Coupled will

THE KALLlMA BUTTERFLY.
An Insect That Perfectly Initiates
n Dead Tree Leaf.


y moth usually rests with his fore
wings outspread over the prominent
pattern of his hind wings, SAYS Waldo
mar B. Kaempffert in the Booklovers
Magazine. In any other posture he
would inevitably meet a swift death.
A butterfly, on the contrary, rests usu-
ally with his wings uplifted and
pressed together. Otherwise, the gaudy
upper surface would be as conspicu-
Gus as the black ink on this white
paper-a signal for attack by relent-
less and voraciOuS foes. In order to
hide himself the butterfly has, there
fore, lavished all the resources of his
initiative art ON the under surface of
his wings. By far the most astonish-
ing instance of this kind is afforded
by the East Indian Kallima butterfly,
the blue upper surface of which is
richly and Ostentatiously adorned with
stripe Of orange, but the under sur
face of which bears a truly staggering
likeness to a leaf, when the wings are
drawn together. Here we have an
insect that apes not merely the ap-
prOXimate shape and color of a dead
leaf, but also the midrib with the deli
cate veining, the sharp point, and the
short stem common to many tropical
leaves.
1t might be supposed that this imita-
tion of an ordinary object is sufficiently
minute to protect the Kallima from its
| enemies. Self preservation aDDarentlv
demands not merely a dead leaf sim
ulated, but in touches even more eX-
| quisite, for the resemblance has been
so craftily carried out that the light

this there is not so great 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 a demand on the markets OF
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 hog;
of the fat or lard hog type. This bacon
however, does not command so high g
price on the market as does bacor
from typical bacon hogs.

me Bacon Type of Hog Receiving

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 a sale by asking too
much for them.
An attempt has been made by the
Illinois experiment station to explain
now swine are classified and graded
ON the Chicago and other markets.
This attempt has been made with a
