Bears Seem to BE Slightly More Nu-
nnerous Than sows.

George A. Rommel, animal hus-
bandman of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. reports:
In response to requests, the Animal
Husbandry Office of this bureau has
recently collected information regard
ing the relative proportions of the
two sexes Of pigs at birth, with quite
interesting results. This information
Is not to be obtained from the herd
books for the reason that while the
total number Of pigs farrowed is usu-
ally given, the number of each sex
is given only for the pigs raised.
Reports were received from eighty
two breeders. located In twenty-three
states and two territories (Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma). Eight breeds
were represented. as follows: Berk.
shire. Chester White, Duroc Jersey.
Hampshire, Large Yorkshire. Ohio I'm
proved Chester, Poland China and
Tamworth. In few cases the record
Of litters Of grade and mixed breeding
was given; these are included in the
results.
The number of sows whose litters
were reported was lat. The number
of boar pigs was $500; the number of
sows. 6.625. and the total 1926. The
average per sow was as follows:
Boars, 4.52; sows, 4.48; total, 500.
The figures are mainly for litters far.
rowed during 1906. In 40 cases Sec
ond litters during the year were re-
ported for the same fows. which some
what raises the average per SOW.
Bears are seen to be slightly more
numerous than sows, but for all prac-
tical purposes the sexes may be re-
garded as equal In number at birth
The relative proportion was found to
be 1.O05 boars to 1000 sows. Ex-
pressed in another way, the proportion
is 10O.53 boars to 100 sows, which in
lowest terms of whole figures is Dol
boars to 200 sows.

FAT ON THE HOG.
Only Put It on When Fitting the AMI
NAL for Market.

The hog that is to be kept on the
farm for breeding purposes does not
need much fat. The more fat he has
the more expense of muscle and en-
ergy there is required to carry 1t
around and the more food must there
be expended for that purpose alone.
The hog stores nothing on his body
except what may be used for some
other purpose than to please the
butcher. In fact, the butcher is not
looked out for by Nature. The object
Nature has In storing up fat Is to give
surplus to be used as fuel in the
lungs. This fat Is to be burned up In
the creating of energy to keep the
machinery Of the body in motion and
in the creating Of heat to keep up the
temperature of the body. There Is,
therefore, no reason for putting on
the back of the hog lot of fuel for
him to carry about with him till the
time he needs 1t. 1t would be like
piling onto the tender Of an engine
more coal than could be used in a
single trip. The extra weight would
be carried for nothing and would only
be in the way. The hog that is to be
kept should therefore have only
small amount of fat on him at any
time. This will make 1t more natural
for him to exercise and the exercise
will improve his health.
The fat on the hog that is to be sold
is worth money in the market and
should be put on freely. The hog
should not, however, have SO much fat
that he is likely to go down when
on the journey to market The buy
ers Of hogs like to have fat hogs. but
they do not want them too fat. An
overfat hog on hot day has a good
chance to die before reaching the end
of his journey.

Editor The Commercials: Per-
nit me, through the columns Of
your paper, to thank the City Coun-
Gil OF Mayor and Aldermen for a
donation of funds TO assist in clean
ing up and identifying the much
neglected Confederate cemetery,
transforming it from a wilderness
OF brushwood, weeds and rem.
devious for marauders into quiet
resting place of roses and violets.
! would pray the Council to post,
or have posted, bills notifying all
parties who desecrate the monu-
ment with verses of obscene Ian
guage and caricatures that the
penalty will be fine and imprIson-
ment to the extent of the law. and
l also ask the Council to empower
the worthy sexton of the city Gem
eteries (Mr MARTINI to take over
sight of the cemetery and report all
who may in any way violate the
laws governing the same.
