The Bacon Hog.

We have never recommended the
raZOrback hog as being profitable to
grow But we have said that the
meat was the best favored pork that
we had ever eaten. Now comes Prof.
Massey, editor of the Practical Farm
er. and makes the broad claim that
our Southern hogs make as good or
better bacon than the famous bacon
breeds of England. The flavor of the
meat is owing, we believe, not to the
breed but to the feed. \ demand for
it might be created at the North if
the pork could be got into the hands
of those who would pay fair price
for good meat. Here is Prof. Massey's
editorial:
Writers who are accustomed to the
fat hog breeds of the great corn belt
often make merry over the piney
woods roOter of the South, and as
found running in the forest this
gaunt, long nOsed and long legged ami
mai is certainly very different from

The Pure Food Law.

so far as we have heard, the pure
food law has not yet been passed by
House of Representatives We hope
that it may not be smothered in the
committee.
There has been some objection to it
by parties who claim that it viii in
fringe upon the rights of manufactur-
ers. This is not true, it does not un-
dertake to prevent any one from put
ting UP anything he chooses in the line
of food products. 1t merely says to
the maker or seller, you must tell the
truth about your goods. If you take
apple cores and skins, from the evapO-
rators, and make the juice into a jelly
and sell it as apple jelly, that is all
night, but you shall not label it currant
or raspberry jelly because you have
colored it. You may make vinegar out
of anything that you choose, but you
must not call it cider vinegar unless it
is made from apple juice. If you wish

the small bOned, stumpy nOsed and
rOtund animal priced by breeders.
But when it comes to quality and
gamey flavor in the hams and bacon,
1.-The fat hog of the corn belt cannot
,conpare with the black hog of the
South the survival of the ftteSt for
the conditions under which he has de-
velOped. And now that there is a
great revival of interest in the bacon
hog, it would seem that the razor
back has claims fully as good as the
Tamworth, about which the Canadi-
ans are so enthusiastic. We notice in
the Ohio Farmer picture of the prize
IamWOrthS at the st. Louis ENposi-
ton, and it is there stated that these
pigs can run like Il race horse. In
face, the picture might well have been
taken from a pair Of Well-fed Razor
backs. f. Il. Forbes, of the Missouri
Station. i'll the Iowa Homestead, dis
cusses the merits of the bacon hog
and the fat hog of the corn belt, and
seems to come to the conclusion that
the well-bred fat hog must always be
the hog for the corn belt, and that the
quality of the bacon pig of Canada and
the Northwest is due to the feeding OF
small grains rather than corn, and
that each section has its own ad-
vantageS. This is doubtless true, for
the highest priced hams on the Ameri-
can market are the hams made in
Southeast Virginia from the Southern
bacon hog, the RaZorBack, or piney
woods rooter. The men who make
the famous Smithfield hams, long ago
found out that they cannot be made
from the improved BerkshireS and
roland Chinas, but only from the
woods ranger that lives all winter on
the mast and then roots his living in
the COW pea and peanut fields until
corn Is ready, and then short time
on corn gives him fat enough, and his
hesh cures into a bacon that no Tam
worth can compare with, and which
the epicures of the country recognize
as the acme of quality in cured hog
meat. We believe there is a great
future for the Southern bacon pig if
properly bred and selected for his own
special qualities, and not as a COM
petitor with the fat hog of the corn
belt.
