Messrs. Editors: / killed the culls
left after selecting and selling the
finest of my hogs for breeders. Their
ages ranged from seven months to
eleven months, and the average
weight of the twenty-six killed was
202 pounds
These shoats, after being weaned.
were turned first into a Bermuda
grass pasture and fed a little grain.
On the 1st of September | turned
them into sweet potato field. After
they had cleaned up all OF this pas
ture, turned them next into six
acres OF cowpeas. and after that into
field of corn and cowpeas. after
having first taken off the corn and
all or the peas that were fit for seed
Then | kept them on fioored pens and
fed them on corn for ten days, and
killed them on December I4th.

my hogs at all times. This keeps
them always in a healthy and thrifty
condition, and / am never troubled

The Ideal Poland China.

Messrs. Editors: 1 am going tc
try to describe to you perfect Pol
and China as | see him after great
many years of experience as breed
er of this animal, which l believe, all
things considered, the greatest hog
in the world.
Commencing with the head, /
would have it small, not too much
length, wide between the eyes, snout
slightly dished and nicely tapering
to the end, eyes bright, ears medium
in size and in proportion to the body.
l want them thin and "tippy" at
point without using any artificial
means. Jowl, moderately full. Neck,
short and full and well arched; bris-
ket well let down and not pinched
up; shoulders, moderately wide and
deep; girth around the heart, full
and free from creases or wrinkles;
back, slightly arched and wide; sides,
straight. full and deep; ribs, well
sprung, holding contour with rest of
body; loins, strong and moderately
wide; belly, wide, and holding con-
tour with rest of body; flank, we'll
let down; hams, full, broad and deep;
legs, strong, straight, of medium
length, sitting well out ON each cor
ner, with medium large bone and
standing well upon feet; tall, nicely
tapered. Coat must be fine and soft,
and should not in any way tend to-
ward coarseness. Color, black, with
white points; size. one that is larger
than the ordinary medium hog, but
not tending toward coarseness.
Such, l believe, is my ideal of a
true type of Poland China. And
while some may not fully agree to
this description of model hog, yet
If breeders will leave the extreme
fads and fancies alone and produce
the true type. we have and will al
ways have the best hog that grows.

THE BREED I PREFER AND WHY.

has No breed excels the Duroc in
proliflcacy. And owing to his splendid
constitution, no hog excels him in
his resistance to contagious diseases.
1t was thought at one time that the
Duroc-Jerseys were slower to ma
ture and this fact would somewhat
Offset his strong points just enumer-
ated, but l have learned that fear is
Unfounded. The Duroc will fatten
at any age or time of year. In fact,
| have to exercise special care to
prevent my brood sows from becom-
ing too fat for the best breeding re-
suits.
The Duroc is gentle and affection
ate in his disposition. He is a good
grazer when pasture is available. He
is not breachy when confined by half
way decent fences. He is strong of
back and bone and does not go down
when fattened. He is of elegant con-
firmation, with handsome head and
ears, and under the loving care and
skilful hands of his friends and ad-
mirers, has become a hog of vast re-
fnement.
Try them along by the side of what
you have and be convinced yourself.

Building Up a Reputation as a
Breeder.

Messrs. Editors: In starting out
in the hog business, it is advisable
to get good breed of pure-bred hogs
and stick to it eve prefer the Duroc-
Jerseys), and not cross and mix them
up, as it most certainly will run the
stock down when they are crossed up
with other breeds. and it stands to
reason that hog that is being bred
up all the time will bring more profit
than hog that is being run down.
A breeder Of stock hogs should be
very careful as to what he ships out
to customer, as his own reputation
as a breeder is at stake, and he
should strive to build up the breed
instead of lower 1t. A breeder ought
to have a certain standard, and at
weaving time, everything under that
standard should be culled out, and
then another rigid culling out when
they are old enough to ship, and
everything below standard run into
the fattening pens and put on the
market for pork. In this way a
breeder is always building up his
stock, and also building up a reputa-
ton and one that he can maintain.

OF feeding would be almost nothing.

Messrs. Editors: Some breeders

of hogs as l am to the Duroc-Jerseys.
But after three years of careful study
of this hog, along with others,

the best hog in the South.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Colorado Snow Flea.

The observing Colorado miner can
not furnish you scientific names, yet
he will tell you at one that red snow
is caused by the snow flea. The snow
flea is very small. 1t would require
about fifty Of them to equal their
larger brother Of the east in size.
A person walking upright might
think the snow covered by a very fine
dust, but If your eyes are good and
you place your face within eighteen or
twenty inches Of the snow you can
easily discern the snow flea. Although
so small as to be almost imperceptible
to the naked eye, yet they are most
active, jumping from twelve to fifteen
inches.
To the naked eye they appear to be
dark brown in color, but under a good
microscope they would be found to be
a reddish brown. During cold wealth
er they stay under the bark of trees,
but when it is a nice, warm day and
the u shines brightly you can find
them on the southern and eastern
slopes Of the mountains, where they
can get the direct rays Of the sun.
During the day they will ascend the
mountains. sometimes far above the
timber line. When the sun disappears
and it gets cold the snow flea freezes
to death. During the winter great
numbers will be thus frozen. and their
dead bodies color the snow.
