Hamp.hlre cThin Rindl swine.

Hampshire Chin Rind) swine have
only recently been given the promi-
nence their good qualities deserve
They originated in the district Of
Hampshire, England, were imported
into the United States and bred for a
number Of years in a small way. As
yet their distribution Is not wide, but
they are gradually winning a place
among the better known breeds. Ken
lucky and Illinois are leading states in
the production of Hampshires. The
standard for the breed calls for a
smooth, symmetrical development,
with strong legs and feet and vigor-
Gus constitution. Good development Of
back, sides and hams is emphasized.
The color Is characteristic, black with
a white belt, although solid black is al
lowable. Activity, rustling qualities,
prollficacy and good instincts of ma
ternlty are strong points Of the breed.

By R. S. SHAW, Michigan.
During the past few years there has
been a marked increase in the advoca-
cy and use of cots for sheltering swine
during the entire year We are be-
coming convinced that under Michi-
gan conditions. with our rigorous win
ters. a combination of piggery and
cots Is more desirable for the swine
grower than either alone. The cuts

about 1,T50 pounds of slaked or hy-
drafted lime per acre
Slaked lime is a disagreeable ma
terial to handle but it is sometimes
applied in this condition, being spread
from wagons. But any method of
hand spreading involves irregularity
in distribution and therefore a waste
of material Slaked lime may be sue
cessfully spread with the ordinary
manure spreader by first placing a
quantity of litter on the spreader
apron to prevent the lime from sitting
through and to bring it within reach of
the teeth Of the spreader and setting
the apron to travel slowly. 1t is very
difficult to spread lime satisfactorily
nth the ordinary fertilizer drill be-
cause the fine powder packs above the
feeders and fails to run out evenly.
Moreover these drills are not usually
made of sufficient capacity to apply
more than about 5000 pounds Of ma
terial per acre
The best form of lime for this work
is the ground quicklime which Is now
made by several manufacturers for
building purposes, it being more con-
venient to handle in this form than In
Jumps. Such lime can be used In the
fertilizer drill when fresh and coarsely
ground, though it usually contains con-
siderable fine dust, which interferes
with distribution by that implement.
The most satisfactory implement for
distributing lime Is one made especially
for that purpose Such machines are
made by several manufacturers of fer
tllizer drills. We have found a home

The uniyersitx,s Growth.

A bulletin was issued by the ~curators

growth Of the university for IL years,
from 1890 to 1903, and the disparity
between its growth and the increase in
Its income. On December 81. 1890, $40
students had been enrolled in that
session, of whom more than 30 were
OF preparatory grade. Not so many az
900 could have come in under the pres
ent requirements for entrance. They
represented IL states and territories.
For the session of 10000 the enroll
ment, including the students for the
summe session, was 1,G49. The total
number in summer and in winter ses-
sion from June, 1904. to June, 1905,
will exceed 1850. They represent SO
states, territories and foreign countries.
In 1890 the annual income from all
sources for all departments and for all
purposes, amounted to s122,255. A to-
tai Of $i79,S35 represents the income
for the calendar year 1909.
