THE BROOD SOW.
Rules Which Should Be Observed If One Would Select the Most
 Likely Gilt.

When selecting the brood SOW, go to a pen where number of gllts are kept and the fattest and best develop ed ones will always come to the trough first. From these select a brood SOW. The gilt selected should come from a large litter and from a SOW that is a good feeder. gentle and easy to handle. For if she is gentle and kind and a good feeder, she will usua1y be a good milker. a very essential point in a brood SOW. One cannot judge accurate ly of the milking qualities in gilt, but chunky, heavy-boned, short-leg- ged SOW Is not as good milker as one with longer body and legs. and less rounded sides. Under all circumstances avoid one that is wild. or nervous, or has low back. The legs must be strong and straight. The SOW must stand entirely on her t'jes and should show ten or 12 teats, says the Ameri- can Agriculturalist.
 The age at which tO breed depends on the maturity mCfe than the age. says the American Agriculturalist. A gilt that has been properly handled will weigh 200 pounds or more at eight months. and ought to raise good lit- ter of pigs if bred then. When a young SOW has only a few pigs. or is a poor milker or a careless mother. she should be sent to the meat barrel at once. But if she is a good milker. and attentive to her young. she should be tried again, for the second litter will usually be larger than the first. If her second lit ter shows increased numbers. and the first one developed into good hogs. she might be retained for breeder until better SOW ran he obtained.

The absorbing topic in Kent County
at the present time is the proposed
trolley line from Clayton to Woodland
Beach and an extension of the line to
Dover. The Smyrna, Kent County
and Delaware Bay Traction Company
has been granted liberal franchises by
the towns of Smyrna and Clayton and
the Kent County Levy Court. Having
achieved this much the matter of con-
structing the line is "up" to the Com
pany. The people of Kent County
have been fooled so often with trolley
projects that every one will await with
interest the developments of the new
concern. There is general sentiment
in favor of a trolley and citizens every
where want to see the line built and
are willing to lend every encourage.

The Pennsylvania has given a single
order for seventeen thousand freight
cars to be delivered as soon as possi-
BILE. This seems a simple statement,
but it Is important when it is analysed.
These cars would make train almost
one hundred and fifty miles long, or
as far from Philadelphia to Miffiin-
town. They will carry at one time
about 100000 tons of freight, an
amount so vast that it can hardly be
conceived. On a single trip of two
hundred miles, at the lowest rate of
compensation this train would earn
over $3.50, 900.
These things are mentioned to indi-
cate the growing transportation inter
ests of the country. The total of the
new order will add only fractionally to
the supply on hand, as the lines east
of Pittsburg and Erie had 60, 900 at the
first of this year, some of which will
soon go out of service. These cars
earned over $50, 900, 900 last year, which
was less than for 1903, but this year
the aggregate will be much the largest
in the history of the company owing to
the revival of business. The average
earnings per ton per mile were just
about six tenths of cent. On this
basis team, wagon and driver on a
good road could at the very outside
earn not over 4S cents per day, and or
dinarily not more than 80 cents. This
4, shows what railway traffic has done
for the, country.
* 1t is an encouraging sign that rail
way companies all over the country
are taxed to the utmost to carry com
modities and this fall an unusua
blockade is expected. The enormous
crops must be moved and the manu-
facturers are unable to keep up witt
the orders. The Carnegie Steel Works
will make no contract for delivery this
year and the general condition of tn,
country seems to be Unparalleled NJ
