FOR THE HOG BREEDER.

The brood SOW can be made a source of
profit in every feed lot.
Where the sow ind an important place
on the farm. the pig thrtves the best.
Young hogs will not make a profitable
growth in a dry lot without a variety Of
food.
The hog to thrive best. must be given
food that will build up the system evenly.
An ever lot of pigs cannot be expected
from a choice lot of sows bred to different
bears.
Never breed to a boar that IS excessive
ly fat, or that has had his overs Of re-
production overtaxed.
The breeder to receive the greatest pos
sible profit with hogs. must have them
reach a marketable weight as quickly as
possible.
In nearly all cases too early breeding of
the SOW stunts the growth and prevents
a proper development Of the frame.
See that they are not obliged to eat
their feed in filth pr mud. and what is
still worse, IN the dust.
"A race or family of hogs kept on the
same farm will improve or degenerate ac-
cording to the ability or shiftlessness Of
the owner.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

che most obvious thing about this
convention is that it is devoting it's
time to practical things. The program
calls for the discussion of live issues.
Most women's clubs have started out
along intellectual n literary ines and
their ideals have been those OF culture
rather han utility and social service.
That is all very we'll; for the male
American is usually so deficient in cul-
ture thai if there is to be any in the
family the woman is obliged to furnish
it. The women nave done this; and
their development along cultural lines
is one of the things that have made
the American woman famous abroad.
But now the women's clubs seem to
be giving more attention to the merely
practical. h clubs apparently are
turning from literary and abstract in
tellectual interests to the less cultural
but more useful work OF industrial and
social reform.
That the club women are in earnest
about such effort is shown by their
claim to much of the credit for tha
passage of the pure food law. Their
contribution to this reform is porsihlv
open to question. but it is certain thev
are welding a greater and greater in.
t1uence in creating sentiment and coax.
ing legislation in behalf of MANY vital
reforms. There is a large field In which
women car accomplish great good even
without the franchise.

HIGH MEAT I'M scoTLANp.

Dispatches this week from Glasgow,
Scotland. indicate that high meat prices
are causing much agitation there, a
the National P-ovisioner. The member
of the Glasgow United Fleshers' society
have resolved to raise the retail price Of
butcher meat by one penny per pound.
With the opening Of the st. Lawrence sea-
son it was expected that. as in former
years, Canada would be able to xport
large numbers of fat cattle. but the inn
ports at Glasgow from Canadian ports
show a falling off of fully Is per cent dur
ing the past five months as compared with
the same period last year.
The present state of the live stock mar
ket is attributed to the great scarcity Of
fat cattle in the United States. Home
supplies have been almost up to the ay-
erage. but owing to the falling off in the
imports home stocks have been used up
to an unusual extent. There is therefore
not much prospect that prices of live
stock will fall until the autumn, when the
home fed lots will be ready for the mar
ket.
The following are the numbers of cattle
landed at Merklands Wharf, Glasgow.
from Canadian and United States ports
for the first five months of the present
year. together with the figures for the
corresponding period Of 1907:

PECULIAR WALTZ
OF THE OSTRICH
The Gigantic Bird Shows His
Good Spirits by Strenuous
Dancing.

The socalled waltzing performance Of
the ostrich is familiar to all in South
Africa, but few outsiders have ever
heard of it. 1t consists Of q rapid
whirling movement. sometimes one
Way, sometimes another, the wings

and depressed. 1t is a ~ascinatinE.
sight when INDUCED in by a large
flock.
First one bird will dart forward and
begin the circular movements; another
will follow and then others. until the
mad whirl. Some will continue until
they drop exhausted or. apparently
becoming giddy. stumble and fall.
The dance is seen in all it's glory
only when a considerable number Of
birds are together. 1t often X place
among only a few. but is never so In
tense or prolonged as when h flock is
large.
Chicks only a month or two old en-
gage In the amusement. though they
are rather clumsy II sometimes stum-'
bic. particularly when they are revers-
li:g. As they grow older they perform
several complete turns With great ia
cility. though even adult birds some-
tiG2es stumble and break their legs in
falling.
This q behavior is no doubt in
stinctive, and as with other instincts,
IL is perfected by experience. Ostrich
CHICKS begin the whlrl even when rear
cd away from other ostriches and with
out having seen the performance. The
South Africans nave the following
theory of the significance Of this play
full activity:
The wild ostrich can protect himself
against lions and leopards in no other
Way h by fight. When chased by
a BEAST of prey the ostrich. starting to
run, twists and turns in curious fash
ion and jerks SO quickly from side to
side that no beast would be likely to
have time to set himself TO-. Il spring
in one direction before the bird had
changed his course.
Ostriches thus pursued have been
seen to stop at full speed. turn as il
pivoted and flee again in almost the
opposite direction. Probably no other
animal can do this.
The south Africans believe thai the
instructive waltzing movement of the
ostrich is useful in perfecting the bird
in the art of suddenly twisting and
turning, which is most likely to assist
it to elude it's natural enemies. the
larger carniyOra.

these old standard influences have been
very clearly shown in the meat and
live stock markets of the past winter
and current spring. and control that is

no control at all. A little common
sense about our animal and meat in

journalism of this country. especially
