Breeds Of Swine

Two distinct breeds Of swine OF
American origin have been given the
name of Victoria. One originated in
New York, the other In Indiana. The
former seems to have Il local reputation
In the east and has not been widely dis
tributctl. The latter Is found in quite
q number of sections and in consider
able numbers In Indiana and nearby
states. Both breeds are of medium
size, the Indiana breed somewhat the
larger. Both are white in color and
have erect ears.
The Victorias of New York originated
with Colonel Frank ID. Curtis, Saratoga
county. y. ". about 1850. They were
formed from the native stock, which
contained some Grazier blood, by use
of the Byticld. Yorkshire and Suffolk
In succession. They are said to rcsem-
Bile the Sufrolks. The Indiana Nictorias
are usually referred to when the name
Is used. They were bred by George
Davis. Lake county, Ind, about 1870.
Four distinct breeds were used in their
formation. e.. the Poland China. Bcrk-
shire. Chester White and Suffolk 1t

masters j., u, soon as the flock goes t.
pasture to close the sheep barn for III.
season and compel the flock II seer
protection where available. This prac-
ticc Is wrong and dclctCrlOus to the
flock. The sheep barn can and should
be made as SCrviccablc during tie sum
MGR as the winter months, and in so
doing serve Il double purpose. During
the summer the sheep barn should serve
as IL protection against excessive heat
and drCnching storms. 1t can be made
a more adequate retreat during the
heat of the day than is possible for the
flock to obtain elsewhere. Sheep suffer
greatly from intense heat, There are
always during the summer frequent
local storms that are followed by
nights of cold, damp air. This weather
Is injurious to health ana not infre-
quently lays the foundation of disease
ia the flock.
Protection From Parasites.
Parasitic trouble Is one Of the serious
things that lnfeSt the flock during sum-
mer The sheep barn affords Il means
through Which parasitic trouble can
be eliminated in great measure.
Sheep suffering from intense heat will
huddle together either in fence corners
or under shade trees, thus alTordng an
excellent breeding place for parasites.
If the flock is allowed access to the
sheep barn Il diSnfcCtant can be ap-
piled cffcctrally about it. Then, too,
the occasional visit TO the barn gives
the owner Il chance to examine his
flock ana discover parasitic trouble
carly before the entire flock becomes
seriously infested The foregoing are
only part Of the benefits of the open
sheen barn as enumerated by l.. c..

items. In conclusion Mr. Reynolds sug
costs that the barn be well cleaned to
start with, and the windows curtaincd

lies and other insects. Good vcntila-
ion should be afforded and litter used
