The tendency to melancholy, imbecil

special cause for the group OF symp-

For many years it was assumed that

diet among the populations chiefly af-

SMALL HOGS
IN DEMAND
Art of Making Good, Sweet Hams,
Properly Balanced With Fat
and Lean, Fast Slipping
Away From Us.
cBy S. c. MILLER)


The art of making good, sweet hams,
properly balanced with fat and lean.
and cured to turn. is fast slipping
away from us here in America.
The old-time southern planter never
bred hogs for fat, and rarely cured an
animal for their own use that weighed
over It's pounds.
These men bred the long. lean ami
mails, which were fattened on meal
and clover, because not a great deal
of corn is raised in the south, and the
result was an ideal ham and bacon
hog.
In the great corn belt, farmers are
disposed to breed and feed for fat, be-
cause they are not satisfied to send to
market IT'S pound hog at Christmas
time when they can just as well bring
him up to 300 pounds.
A 300-pound hog does not make
good hams. They are coarse and con-
tain a large amount of fat, which the
packers trim OF in order to bring the
size down to the popular demand.
People want hams from hogs that
weigh from 125 to $50 pounds. and
they cannot be deceived by hams from
a 300-pound hog with the fat trimmed
on.
The consumption of hams in this
country IL steadily falling on for this

reason, and further, because a ham
cured in the average packing house ID
anything but ideal food.
The small or middle sized Berkshire
makes good ham, although there is
tendency to fat The ideal ham hog
Is, In our opinion, the Tamworth. He
is a lover Of protein foods, although
he can be spoiled by stuffing him with
corn He thrives in clover, and if al.
lowed to run in fields of sweet peas,
rape and alfalfa, produces the sweet.
est and best balanced hog meat that
is known.
The Tamworth is particularly fond
Of raw potatoes. pumpkins, and roots
of all kinds, to which the average type
of hog is not partial.
During the past few years a very
large trade In American hams has
sprung up in Europe. particularly in
England. The consumer over there
demands small ham, and our Ameri.
can packers are endeavoring to edu-
cate farmers to the idea of curing hogs
that will average around $50 pounds.
Matured hogs that will weigh less are
even more eagerly sought.

Hospital in The Hague Where
Dogs and Cats Are Treated.
Surgical Operations Successfully Per.
formed by Aid Of Anaestheties-
Feline and Canine strays
Given Good Quarters.

The Hague.-The Hague Is the first
town in Holland to possess a clinic
for animals, where operations are per-
formed under anaesthetics. Some time
ago there was quite discussion In
the press whether It was possible to
administer anaesthetics to animals.
Several specialists averred that in
every case it had been tried the crea-
lures had died. At The Hague three
veterinary surgeons were. however,
repeatedly successful in their at
tempts and this year a special clinic
has been opened here in connection
with the home for waits and strays,"
where dogs and cats find shelter and
care.
Such a hospital for household pets
was greatly needed here. Many a dog
and cat had been suffering with tumors
and other ailments for which the sur
geon's knife was the only remedy;
yet, because of the intense suffering
involved. their owners hesitated to in
trust them to the ordinary practitioner
to be operated upon while fully con-
scious. At the new clinic the special
attendant surgeon has his hands full
with all the cases that are now
brought to him.
When the correspondent visited the
clinic and animal home several little
patients had just been discharged as
cured. There was brown dachshund
that had been operated on for rupture
three days before. but now the
bandages had been removed and when
the kennel was opened the friendly lit
tie creature sprang gaily out. No one
would ever have guessed that 1t had
been so Ill. A white cat was being
treated for ear trouble and it, too.

kennel with straw nest" within the

dogs are cared for in a year.
About 4S1 stray dogs are brought
in annually. There were but very few
stray cats. as this was not quite the
season" for them. About 425 stray
cats are brought in every year.

will be noticed from the cut that the
bin is but 16 inches wide at the open
ing and this opening is inches high.
This construction seems necessary in
order to enable the cattle to work the
feed out as needed and to prevent clog
ging. The studding. which is 2x4-inch
material. are placed four feet apart
inside the bin and serve as supports
to the sides. Other than these points
the feeder Is not essentially different
from those commonly In use.

AIr Trimmer, more creased of brow than any of them, was drifting from group to group with eyes turned auXiously toward the door until Bobby came in. He was most effusiyely glad to see the son of his old friend once again. and lost no time in seating him at a most secluded table. where, by the time the oysters came on. he was deep in catalogue of the virtues of John Burnit; and Bobby, with a very real and a very deep affection for his father which seldom found expression in words, grew restive. One thing held him, aside from his obligations as a guest He was con vinccd now that his hosts kindness was in truth a mere graceful act of welcome due largely to his fath CTS standing and the idea nauerCG Linn very much. He strOv5 t0 look as businesslike as possible ana thought again and again upon his father; of how much he had sat day after day in this stately dining hall, honored and venerated among these men who were striving still for the ideal that he had attained.
