This very point was discussed a month
or so ago with a country dealer In
Blackhawk county, Iowa. I happened
in one morning when several farmers
brought in their weekly supply. This
merchant had a large demand for dairy
butter, and On the whole the butter
delivered to him was far above the
average quality that is usually sold at
country stores. Some came I'm pHcked

sHoEsTRiNo BREED OF HOGS

sHoEsTRiNc BREED OF HOGS
while travelling recently in Maryland
Z was very much interested In the work
81 Miss Mary Smith. who raises from
$50 to 500 hogs every year, of the Shoe
String or Razorback type and sells her
cured products TO private customers in
eastern cities. The foundation Of her
herd comes from the genuine razor
backs which twenty years ago were
found running wild In the woods OF
Georgia. Under domestication these
hardy hogs have become quiet and now
10 under the name Of ~"Shoestrings.
They have long. fiat hams n great,
lat sides OF firm meat. UP to the fat
tening period they range in woods or
pastures, and they have never been
trained to store up fat. Their meat is
lean, with here and there streaks OF
fatfrit Is frm and sweet and lacks that
greasy flavor found In all ~corn-ratsed
pork. The only care these hogs get Is
about six weeks before they are killed.
The curing Is don after an old recipe,
and the smoked meats are never sent to
customers until after 1t has been In
the smokehouse for at q twelve
months. The meat is delicious, as I
can personally testify, and Miss Smith
has no trouble In selling her products
OF 500 hogs annually.

GRADING UP DAIRY HERDS.

Go into any dairy herd where a good
bull has been used for three or four
years, and see what has been done.
1t Is not unusual to see heifers with
their first calves giving more milk and
richer milk, than many of the old cows
| n the herd. There is no mistake about
this matter, yet the majority OF farm
ers who start into dairying neglect
this very thing and either start out
and pick up cows, or breed along year
after year, with an ordinary beef bull.
The growing scarcity of even ordinary
mich cows, together with the prices
asked are driving some to sensible
breeding. This Is shown by the de-
mand this season for Jersey, Guernsey
and Holstein bulls, n buyers are be-
coming more particular about the ped
igree OF these dairy bulls. Will 1t pay?
II YOU ave fair cows only, 1t will pay
to buy a pure bred bull, for you can
depend upon his heifers producing
from SIS to SIS more butter fat every
year, than their dams.
The Bon Homme County independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1904-1913, 1907-09-12
n u COW.

A Wisconsin dairyman never keeps
the first calf of his heifers. His idea
is that the mother never forgets her
calf and with the young COW this Is
apt to have some influence on her
milk yield. His heifers are bred very
young, frequently so hat they drop
their calves when they are only eigh-
teen to twenty months old. The calf
is taken away at once, and the young
cow sees it again. From this
time on she has her mixer and feed
er about her, and she soon learns tina
her business is to give milk whenever
her teats are manipulated. Some claim
that when calves are taken away that
the maternal instinct becomes more
or less dominant, and this is apt to
bring about irregular breeding. That
may be true, but many cows will breed
near enough TO the season wanted;
and by never knowing their offspring
they naturally associate the, milk pail
with the function OF giving milk and
rarely a young cow thus trained will
ever give anyAstrouble in giving down
her milk.

SOW WELL CLEANED GRASa
SEED.

Meadow land and pastures show, too
plainly, evidence of neglect In selecting
seeds. 1t takes heavy vigorous seed TO
produce strong plants and a grass crop
win not produce much unless the
ground Is well covered with thrifty,
well-rooted plants. We are very apt TO
be governed by the appearance of grass
or clover seed. when we buy 1t, not
deeming 1t necessary to get Own to II
and find out how much germinable
seed there is. or how free the @mixture
is from weed seeds. There has been a
great deal OF adulterated seed sold dur
Ing the past few years, and this has
been made possible mainly ecaus
farmers did not ask for a guarantee OF
purity, or did not wen GO so far as to
examine their seed for adulterants.
When one buys Kentucky blue grass
he does not want so per cent. chan and
the other so per cent. Canada blue
grass. While the standard weight Of
blue grass Is fourteen pounds per
bushel, fancy seed will run from twen-
ty-two to twenty-eight pounds per
bushefs and English farmers, who can
not be fooled, will not buy our export
seed unless IL weighs twenty-five
pounds and upward per bushel.
