LIGHT AND, HEAVY HOGS.

1t Is very well-known that the mar
ket demands and prices vary for the
different weights of hogs. Explain
Ing this a commission man who has
long handled fat hogs in the market
says that beginning In September the
heavy hog comes more Into evidence
and commands a premium over light
er ones. The height of the demand
for fat-backs Is reached in Decem-
Der, January and February, for In
those months the great slaughter
houses at every market center are
packing thousands of hogs every day.
The time was when nearly all hogs
were marketed as heayy-welghts, but
now even In the winter months, the
demand for extreme weights Is not
so great as formerly. This can be
largely attributed to an increasing
consumption of fresh pork and most
of the fresh meat cuts can only be OBJ
tained from the lighter grades OF
hogs. Beginning about April 1st the
light hog sells on par with the
grades and month or so later the
llght.weiehts command a premium at
every market.
There Is one system of hog man
agement quite prevalent among far
mers that seems to be in direct op.
position to these market demands.
Many hog ralsers, and good ones at
that, sell their eight-mOnths-old pi s
In the winter at a weight Of $50
pounds and then dispose Of the old
sows in the summer when they weigh
around 400 pounds, thus bringing
their light hogs on a heavy hog mar
ket and vice versa. However, the
loss in such a system is rapidly be-
coming less as the demand for the
extremely heavy hogs grow smaller.
A prime, well-fnished hog weigh
ing about $50 pounds will generally
land nearer the Top and this may be
said 10 be somewhere near the ideal
market weight. We don't mean that
this weight of hogs will top the mar
ket every day of the year, but prices
on that class viii average the best
during a whole year.-Indiana Far
mer.

THE RICHEST MILK.

The rule is that the richer milk Is
given at the milking that occurs aftor
the shorter number of hours between
milkings. If the milking is done IN
the winter at Z in the morning and 3
in the evening, the evenings milk will
be the richer, for there IS only ten
hours between the morning and even
ing milkings. In the summer when
the hours of milking are reversed,
the morning milk will be richer.
After allowance has been made for
all the above mentioned causes,
there is still daily and weekly
fiuctuation in the richness Of the
milk due to causes as yet unknown
But the fact of this variation is GER

a fine, healthy, vigorous COW and
treated her with exceptional care

led in a whole per cent in the rich
ness of her milk during single
week. This phase of the subject
needs to be made prominent because
a lack of knowledge Of the fact has
led to many a wrangle and much
hard feeling at creameries that pay
by test. Because your test one week
is different from the week before,
do not jump at once to the conclu-
sion that the creamery man has
made a mistake or Is trying to cheat
you. Either may be true, but the
variation in the test is not proof Of
either.-Prof. W. w. Cooke in the In

Sealing Fruit Cans.

When canning fruit it is difficult
to tell when the top fits the can air
tight. After the top is screwed on as
tight as you think proper, then test
your job by turning the can top end
down. If there are any air holes
around the top, the juice of the fruit
will force its way out there. When
the top is found to fit improperly, pro.
ceed to remedy it by putting on an ex'
ira rubber, securing another top and
test again as above directed. E.

LARGE RETURNS FROM POUL
TRY.

TRY.
Upon a recent visit to indiana our
attention was called very forcibly to
the immense sums received by the
Indiana farmers for their poultry
product. One establishment at
Waterloo handles about three.fourths
of the poultry and eggs marketed by
the farms in De Kalb County. The
establishment is taking in eggs at the
rate of 1000 cases per week, gathered
from the various stores throughout
the country. Last Fall It bought and
packed over fifty carloads Of dressed
poultry, averaging $4,000 pounds to
the car. The poultry Is picked and
dressed before shipment to the East
ern markets More than 100000 dol
lars is paid through this one estab-
lishment to the farmers Of one coun-
ty for their poultry products every
year
Wisconsin Is practically as well
located for poultry raising as any
portion of Indiana, particularly this
section OF It, 1t is a business which
requires no little time and attention,
but 1t yields large returns. When
Jackson county farmers raise as many
chickens and market as many eggs
as the farmers of De Kalb County
are now doing they will receive a lar
ger sum from their poultry product
than they now receive for their
dairy product. The Jackson County
farmer can well afford to go more ex.
tensively into poultry raising. No
branch of farming offers better In
