southern farmer who makes forage
play All important part in his rations
OF food.
There is no breed that will breed 30
true to the markings characteristic Of
the breed as the Berkshire and they are
rightly named the aristocrats Of the
show ring.
The improved Berkshires of the pres
ent day are a well established breed
possessing many definite and valuable
qualities, among which are the follow
ing: Body black with smooth plum
colored skin. soft fine hair, feet and top
Of tail white, with a dash Of white In
the face, and many times a white nose
and also some white on jowl; forehead
and face broad; face dished, with large
eyes and short snout. ears Of medium
size. thin, soft and carried in an up
right position; neck short, broad and
broad on top, with jowl large and full;
shoulders broad on top and deep
through the chest; back broad; side
deep and nearly straight on the bot
tom liEes; hams large, reaching well
down on hook, well rounded and deep
through, causing the legs to stand well
apart; these as well as the forelegs
short and strong, and standing we'll on
the toes; the tail tapering, rather fine
and well set up.
In general form a modern well bred
Berkshire, in good condition is SYM
metrical throughout, attractive in ap-
pearance and recognized at once as an
animal of more than ordinary worth.
The improved Berkshire is further
characterized by the superior quality
and prOportionate quantity of its flesh
which is tender and juicy, the hams
and shoulders being nicely marbled
with fat and lean meat, while the sides
are also noted for their excellence in
these respects, making them especially
desirable for curing as bacon.
a large, coarse, fat ham is not the
kind usually sought after when people
have learned the good qualities of Il
well cured Berkshire ham and neither
do they care for the fat coarse side Of
bacon after they have once had the
Berkshire sides or the superior
shoulder.
There il less waste in dressing a we'll
fitted Berkshire than in dressing any
other kind of hog. From the fatten-
ing pen to the packing house he suffers
less loss than any other breed, and
after he has gone through the curing
process and has found the consumer,
the percentage of waste is the smallest
of any breed
In hardness and vigor the Berkshire
may be safely said to excel every other
breed of swine simply because he pos
sesses much higher vital powers. This
is no unwarranted assertion, but has
been affirmed in all parts of the coun-
try and under many entirely different
conditions.

Germ scales and crustlike skin,
surrounding the unsightly sores, are
characteristic of Eczema and similar
skin diseases. According to the best
medical opinion, these scales are
caused by bacilli feeding upon and
consuming the weaker parts of the
cuticle.
When these scales begin to fall
away, it is a sign the bacilli have been
exterminated and that new healthy
skin is being formed beneath. Nature
takes care of this form of cure, but

Maori Legends.

Many traditions of the Maors of New
Zealand indicate true refinement of feel
ing. That of Niwareka, or Great Delight,
is one of these, and represents gentle
Maori maiden, beautiful and modest who.
though deeply loving her bridegroom, yet
shoulders at the barbarity of his people
and at his delight in bloodshed and
cruelty. Unable to bear the sights and
sounds around her, she passes from his
embrace and seeks the shadows of an
other world. Only through great suffering
and sacrifice does her young husband. mn-
able to bear his solitary lot, redeem her
from the shades. This beautiful legend
is bound up with the origin of the GUS
tom to the tattoo, an ordeal which the
lover was compelled to endure that he
might realize the nature of sufferings.
One of the finest legends of old Maori
romance relates how a daughter of the
heavens condescends to dwell with man:
but, repealed by his rudeness and want of
sympathy, aScendS again to the skies, car
rying with her her earth-born child Her
husband Is only able to reach her and re-
gain her love by climbing upward, not
by earthly tendrils, but by those which.
descending from the heavens, have taken
root In earth"
One curious feature of the domestic
life of the New Zealand natives Is that
the old women are led to believe that
the highest honor they can enjoy is to be
permitted to do all the cooking and pre-
pare the food. great deal of labor is
thus left to Them which they cheerfully
perform, resenting any interference on
the part of the younger Maori women
who thus have plenty of leisure for en-
joyment.-London Telegraph.
