The SWINE INDUSTRY.
Hogs Always Sure of Ready Market
at y Fair Price.

at q Fefr Price.
Everything in the shape Of a hog
from co. pound stays, or roughs, down
TO the fifty pound shipper Is readily alb
sorbed at its full market value. A re-
sumo Of hog prices at the Chicago mar
ket for the past six years offers great
encouragement to the producer Of the
market hogs. Prices have maintained
reasonable level, not having been sub
Ject TO such wide fluctuations as were
found in the markets for cattle and
sheep. The producer of market hogs
is always sure of a ready market at a
fair price. This fact together with the
proved ability of market hogs to re-
turn maximum yield Of meat for feed
consumed, makes the production of
high grade swine for meat purposes the
surest and. most profitable feature OF
the live stock business.
In our wide extent OF territory, with
diversified conditions of soil and eli
mate, resulting In q wide range OF
crop production, we naturally find a
wide difference In the character and
quality OF the hogs produced in differ
ent sections. These types are largely
the result of local conditions, the "lard
hog" of the'cor belt being the "sur-
yival OF the fittest" and the result OF
the special conditions found in the
great corn producing states.
Introducing Bacon Type Blood.
In the territory tributary TO St Paul
conditions differ widely from those In
the corn belt. Corn IS produced, only TO
O limited extinct; wheat. peas, barley,
all heterogeneous or muscle forming
foods, are grown abundantly. We do
not advise the average farmer to go in
for what might be called extreme ba-
con types, but we do know it will pay
the stockmen of Minnesota TO grade up
their present stocks with boars of good
type from the bacon breeds. Over the
corn belt states many farmers are US
ing bears OF the bacon type breeds In
order to Introduce more Yigor and bone
into their herds, which have become
weakened from long continued feeding
OF exclusive corn rations. Strength OF
constitution Is improved and prolifcaey
increased by the Introduction OF blood
from the bacon type.-J. ]. Ferguson

about five octaves above violet form

Under these rays living objects
throw shadow which exists as long
as there is life in the animate object.
A live rat was placed in Theoretically
sealed tube and held in the path Of
the rays in front of sensitized screen.
So long as the rat was alive 1t threw
shadow. When 1t was killed 1t be-
