The Osier Willow.

A few years ago the United States
Department of Agriculture started
plantation of osiers on it's experiment.
al farm at Arlington, across the Poto-
mac from Washington. It has been
getting along thrivingly, and recently
quantity of the willow wands, ready
peeled and prepared, was sent to a
manufacturer of wil1ow-ware, who
converted them into chairs, settees
and other articles, that blind basket
maker declared were better than those
made from the imported article

start to finish. At from six to eight
months of age they should reach the
proper weights, and, considered from
the most profitable standpoint, should
be sold. After that age and weight,
the cost of producing a pound in gain
will be greater than before. By this
plan two crops of pigs can be raised
and sold each year.
There seems to be an opinion, quite
generally entertained, that it costs
more to produce hundred pounds of
bacon than it does a hundred pounds
of the mess pork class This is an
erroneous idea, for if the feed used
is heterogeneous enough it can be
made cheaper than the other class,
and yet it sells at higher price. The
dealers pay 50 cents a 100 pounds
more on the foot for the bacon hogs,
and that is not difference enough,
when the difference in the price Of
the cured meats is considered. The
bacon retails in Our home meat mar
kets at IS cents a pound and the mess
pork at 10 cents a pound.
At the Michigan Agricultural COL
1ege an experiment was tried with
some pigs, a cross between the Berk-
shire and Tamworth Four of the
litter were fed a balanced ration made
up of 382 pounds of wheat middlings
and 682 corn meal, mixed with water,
and it cost $500 to make an increase
Of 100 pounds in weight Five pigs
of the same litter were fed corn meal
mixed with water and it cost $6.o7
to make an increase of 100 pounds in
weight. 1t is certainly worth while
to remember the result of this expert
ment 1t shows plainly that if food
which is rich in protein is used lean
meat can be made cheaper than fat

Pineapple Shipping Begins.

The pineapple season for the year
Of 1907 may be said to have opened.
The first carload of pines from this
section, and probably the first from
the state, went forward Thursday,
shipped by Jaudon Bros, of this city:
This carload came from Planter and
was composed of 24s, COS and COS. On
this car were banners and flags show
ing that the great pineapple crop of
Dade county has begun to move for
the year 1907 In close competition to
this carload, T. V. Moore, of Buena
Vista, one of the most successful
pineapple growers of this whole sec
ton, on Friday sent out a solid car
load of pines, grown on his own plan
tation. Notwithstanding the pro-
1onged drouth, the shipment of pine
apples from this county will be large
and a very profitable season is looked
forward to by the fortunate growers.

the sides, i. e., the Berkshire, York
shire and Tamworths. I have de-
cided preference for the Berksh1res
for the reason that they develop bet
ter hams with large percentage OF
lean to the fat that surrounds them,
and the added weight of hams, which
always sell for a higher price pound
that the sides, is an item worthy OF
consideration There has been an
effort on the part of many packers
to induce farmers outside the corn
belt to raise more of the bacon class
of hogs, but thus far the prices offered
have not been sufficient to encourage
radical changes in breeds or methods
of rearing and feeding. The class of
hogs used for bacon bv the dealers
have been largely from what is usual
ly called the lard type, being of light
weight and not excessively fat. Such
bacon goes fairly we'll with the Ameri-
can trade now, but is not Of such
quality as to command the highest
prices in foreign markets. The rule
of "three streaks of lean" intermingled
with fat is what the fastidious foreign
consumers demand, and many Of our
Americans are asking for something
better than what is usually found in
Our markets. That bacon which more
nearly approaches the rule must be
produced to meet the demand seems
very certain, but in the first place, the
difference in the price paid for COM
mon hogs fed to the popular weights,
US to 200 pounds, must be greater
than in the past.
It should be we'll understood that
first class bacon cannot be produced
by raising pigs as they are usually
raised on the farms The definite
object of making bacon must be kept
in view. To feed scanti1y while young
and then feed heavily on feeds rich
in carbohydrates is to fail, as we'll as
to feed on carbonaceous feeds from
beginning to end of term.
In the first place, it is better to Sc
1ect the breeding stock from some one
Of the breeds that are preinclined to
produce large percentage of muscle,
or lean meat One will find, after a
fair trial, that ancestral influences go
long way and can be bought cheaper
than to- undertake to breed and feed
alone to produce the required per-
centage Of lean.
It is by far better to feed we'll while
the pigs are young, as it is during the
growing period that the pigs will
grow muscle. Exercise is also essen
tial To keep the pigs confined is a
mistake. They should be allowed a
wide range Of feeds, such as house
Stops, skim milk, buttermi1k, clover
and grasses of all kinds. The grain
feeds should be rich in protein; mid
dlings, ship stuff, oats, barley, etc.,
can be used to balance the ration with
corn. During the growing period the
ratio Of one protein to four carbo-
hydrates will do very we'll, and then
one to five, and possibly one to six
at time of smoothing up for market
The feed should be given so as to
make the growth continuous from

Making Bacon Pork.

Our razorback hogs, if crossed with
some good breed, would be excellent
stock for making the now popular
bacon, such as is described in an ar
ticle in the Tribune Farmer:
That the amount of bacon pork
that is being consumed year by year
in our country is on the increase, and
that the demand for bacon of the bet
ter class is also on the increase, all
who have given the matter a little
attention are fully aware. 1t seems
as though peoples tastes are chang
ing, and, instead of using the ''broad-
side" pork, as it was denominated by
Our fathers, in the shape of sailed
down side pork, which took in the
whole side from the belly strips to
the center of the back, and from the
shoulder to the ham, the side strip
of pork, sailed, smoked and cured in
a manner to make it palatable, has
become very popular. People of near
ly all classes are buying and using
it, both as a necessary food and as
a dainty mess eaten because they
like it.
Not many years ago there was a
popular prejudice against pork as
food The medical profession stood
as opposed to it on the ground of
unhealthfulness, declaring that the
hog was simply a mass of fat, and
when the meat was eaten it tended to
clog the system instead of furnishing
nourishment. But things have chang
ed; experiments and a more thorough
knowledge of chemical digestion have
proved that bacon is easily digested,
and that it can be eaten by people who
have weak stomachs ard cannot eat
and digest many other classes of meat.
Some very excellent physicians adj
wise the use of bacon, we'll cooked, but
not burned, for people who require
food that can be easily digested and
assimilated.
To treat the subject exhaustive1y
would require more time and space
than I can take at this time. It may
be we'll to say that the old-fashioned
method Of raising hogs will not fur
nish up-to-date bacon. The old meth
Cd of feeding pigs scantily for a year
Or more, and then combining them in
small quarters and feding heavily on
corn, produced a hog that had too
large a proportion of fat to the lean.
Lard was high in price, and as long
as there was goodly supply of it.,
and people would buy and eat the
thick fat mess pork, put up with the
hams and shoulders, which was cover
ed by thick layer Of fat, all was we'll.
AS long as such was all that could be
had, and all that we knew Of, it pas
sed as the best that could be secured
