Chester Whites
as Bacon HOGS

Robert Clark, Ottawa, Canada, writes
been in the hog business nine years,
and after nine years experience have
como to the conclusion that in order to
make money out Of the business II all
depends on five points-viz, the kind
Of hog you select for a grass hog, the
ttmo you start the hog. the time you
sell the hog, the weight you make the
hog and how you produce it After try
Ing all kinds Of hogs on clover and grass
I found in my experience there was
none so good for that purpose as the
Chester. White, and you can feed and
grow him to be select bacon hog II
you sell when he Is right. My expert
enee Is there Ia more in feeding for a
good bacon hog than there is in breed
Ing, because you can spoil the best
bacon hog on earth by feeding.
1 breed my hogs twice year; first
litter comes in March. AS they are all
registered hogs, l sell them for breed
ing purposes. Then my sows are all
mated again for my own field hogs;
they come In August or the first Of
September.
This starts the hog for the highest
pork days In the year. Having no use
for the sows ut this season of the year.
leave the young pigs on the sows for
eight weeks, leaving Inc nine or ten
months to grow my bacon hog. 1t Is an
easy matter to grow a Chester White
hog. in good order, from $50 to 100
pounds, In nine months. I commence
to feed roots as soon as 1 take the
pigs off the sow and feed all winter,
and as soon as the clover is about three
inches high I ring them and put them
out in the Gcld, where they get one feed
a day Of dry grain, barley or mixed
corn and barley fed on the ground.
Barley and good sweet clover will
make bacon as sweet as chicken, and,
II you think you require little more
fat, after feeding one feed day up to
July Just give the Chester White the
second feed a day, and in two weeks
you have select pig which commands
the highest price In the market.

TENNESSEE'S ROAD TAX.
How Ii Affects the Cost of Building
Public Highways.

Colonel J. b. Killebrew gives some
figures in the Nashville American Ola
the cost of public highways that are
full Of interest. He shows that the
road tax for the several counties Of the
state ranges from 5 to 16 cents per
500 of assessed value, or, to specify
accurately, two counties have q five
cent rate, four counties an eight cent
rate, siXty-two counties ten cent rate,
nineteen counties q twelve cent rate,
two counties q fourteen cent rate, two
counties a fifteen cent rate and five
counties q sixteen cent rate The grand
total Of tax for these ninety-six coun-
ties is 1864, 1922.
The number of men subject to road
tax is 1911, who are employed from
five to eight days each year. The total
amount expended for labor on high
ways is S931 -049S2-labor being COM
muted at 10 cents per diem. The total
amount expended in money and labor
IS 81, 90, S13.14.
From these figures Colonel Killebrew
estimates that sufficient money is eX-
pended each year to pay the interest at
4 per cent on bonds to raise enough
money to build from four to six mac
adam roads for each county seat to the
outer boundaries of the county and
have enough left to create sinking
fund to retire the bonds in thirty years.
He recommends general state law
to permit counties to issue bonds for
highway building without special leg
islative enactment.

In line with the suggestion recently
advanced by George IL. Maxwell. di-

the leaders of the good roads, irriga-

forth by the United States bureau of

1t is stated that zone of the NEST

One of the first points regarded by

Danger of Feeding swf1I.

A dairyman named j. Chambers Nv
ing near Bloomington, ILL.,, recently
lost eighty head Of fine hogs, valued
at $1,000. He had been feeding them
swill obtained from the hotels OF the
city and thinks that brine or other del
eteriors substances may have been ac-
cidentally placed in his slop and may
have caused the death Of the fat pork
ers. Several neighbors have lost small
er numbers, and they lay 1t to the
same cause. A like trouble occurred
near Detroit, and after investigation
it was decided that the soap used in
dishwashang Killed the hogs, as the
soapy water was mixed with the swill.

with feeding dried potatoes to stock,

that the potatoes were not found to
be as satisfactory for pigs as ground
barley and corn, especially from the

fed dried potatoes fairly good results
