Boar Half the Herd.

Here's q chunk OF pig wisdom by
the Maine Farmer:
The boar is the biggest part OF the
herd. II Q SOW average seven pigs at
q litter and the boar exerts as much
influence over each pig as the SOW
does, that means that the breeding
OF the boar Is seven times more i'm.
portant than the breeding Of any
one SOW. II the herd contains ten
slows and one boar, the boar's i'm.
portauce is increased to seventy to
one. This accounts for the fact that
you can get along very nicely with
common sows II you have pure bred
boar.

distinct compliment, in this Office,

solicited, Said he: Il sometimes de-
precate the necessity OF placing our
ads in the press of Astoria not be-
cause it is not a good business propo-
sition, nor that ii is entirely useless,
but because OF the fact that Astoria
uses less of patent medicines than
any city of her size in the United
States; and this does not apply alone
to our specialties; any other drum
mer for proprietary medicines in the
country will tell you the same thing"
