GOOD BACON AND LARD HOGS
Those Who Would Succeed In Breed
Ing Must Thoroughly Understand
Correct Type OF Animal.

(By J. q. FULLER.s
The hog Is q source OF profit when
rightly managed. both to the general
farmer and the dairyman. but those
who would succeed In breeding for
profit must have a clear understand.
ing Of the correct type Of animal
to produce and feed. By type is
meant the general conformation of
the animal. Many breeds are in
cluded in the same type. The breeds
may differ in color or some other
small detail. All of the breeds are
included in two types-the lard type
and the bacon type. Those breeds
that are low, deep, broad and heavy
feshed, such as the Poland China,
Duroc-Jersey, Berkshire and Chester
White, are known as lard hogs. These
are largely of American origin and
have been developed by selection and
continued feeding on a fat-producing
ration, principally corn.
The bacon type, on the contrary.
Is of long, narrow. deep. smooth. thin
feshed conformation. The large
Yorkshire and Tamworth breeds illus
trate this type. These breeds are Of
foreign origin and have been devel-
oped on heterogeneous rations largely

Emperor William had made great
plans for the entertainment of the ex.
president in Berlin, but the death of
King Edward caused the curtailment
OF Tia program to considerable ex-
tent. Instead of being the kaiser's
guest In the palace, Mr.. Roosevelt
stopped at the American embassy,
and though William received him and
dined him and showed him the Ger
man army in maneuvers, the more
spectacular and public features were
omitted. On May IL Mr.. Roosevelt de-
livered at the University of Berlin an
address on modern civilization which
was highly praised for its scholarly
qualities.
Having been appointed special am
bassador of the United States to at.
tend the funeral of King Edward, Col
onel Roosevelt next crossed the chan
mel to England, and when the body of
the dead monarch was carried to the
tomb he was one of the remarkable
crowd of royal personages and distin-
guished men that followed the gun
carriage on which Edwards coffin was
borne. After the funeral he was re.
ceived by King George and Queen
Mary and by the widowed queen
mother, and in quiet way made nee

composed of grain and skim milk. AS
the result OF careful feeding and
breeding, the bacon breeds have been
developed to high state of perfection
and yield the best quality of pork.
That more bacon hogs are not pro-
duced throughout the central west Is
due to the fact that the bacon hog,
compared with the lard hog, with
which he comes in competition,
dresses but 10 to rs per cent. net to
gross weight, whereas the lard hog
dresses from "a to 81 per cent. The
dressed weight compared to the live
weight practically decides the value
of all hogs in the great markets OF
the central west. On this account and
the fact that packers can secure and
utilize sufficient supply Of immature
and unfinished lard hogs in place OF
true bacon hogs. there is, as yet, no
well-established market or demand
for the latter class of animals. AL
though conditions in certain localities
are suitable for the production Of
bacon hogs of high quality, their
breeding and feeding should not be
undertaken in competition with the
lard hog, unless the demand is suf11-
cient to insure prices leaving a profit
over the cost of production.
A typical bacon hog is deep, long
and narrow in conformation. with suf-
ficient development of lean meat to
yield carcass of the highest quality.
He lacks the wide back and thick
flesh, characteristic Of the lard hog
and so desirable in hogs sold on the
basis of dressed weight.

He was entertained by royalty and
nobility everywhere he went, and al
ways the people greeted him with
vociferous applause. What possibly
pleased the former president more
than all this was the fact that liter.

several learned societies elected him

public addresses and the literary and

women Can Make Land Considered as
SO Much Waste to Yield Hand
some Profit - How to
Start Crop.
(By MAUDE e. HYMERS.)

CBy MAUDE e. HYMERS)
The woman owning bit of ground.
across which runs a stream of water.
Is fortunate indeed; especially if the
home lies within easy driving distance
Of a city.
For this low, moist ground, con-
sidered usually as so much waste
space, may be made to yield dollars
to the woman capable of grasping the
possibilities of cultivating water
cress.
This delectable salad plant is more
valued in these days than ever be-
fore, and the supply is never equal
to the demand
AS the first step, have the stream
cleared, ready for planting the cress.
This may be done by plants or seeds,
either of which may be procured from
any reliable dealer. Better buy the
plants.
Set two rows the entire length of
the ditch. pick up six or seven stalks,
lay them at the bottom of the ditch
near the side SO the tops will be
above the water, then two feet from
there set another bunch Of plants on
the other side. anchoring the plants
by placing a pile Of earth on the
roots.
If the plants must be home grown
from seed, make a seed bed near the
spring in soft, wet ground, but do
not let the water run over it. Scatter
the seed and press in the mud with
spade. Transplant the plants any
time when large enough to handle.
When the cress has grown and
spreads over the top of the ditch,
have It moved close to the top of
the water, clearing away all clippings
so they will not choke the stream
When 1t grows up again fresh and
crisp you will be ready to market
your product
Place plank across the ditch on
which to sit, gather the cress with
the left hand. and cut with a sharp
knife, having the stalks about three
inches long.
Bunch neatly, fastening the stalks
with a rubber band, and cutting off
squarely. Sprinkle lightly and keep
from the sun until sold.
Cress may be sold for shipment,
for consumption in the home market,
or to individual customers, the price
per dozen or per bunch varying with
different localities.
If the cress is crisp and tender the
matter of marketing will take care of
itself, and the returns will be sufficient
and sure.

Egq Preservative.

or the many ways of preserving
eggs there is none that can be SO
strongly recommended as by means of
Waterglass, or soluble silicate of soda.
The disadvantage of the lime-and-wa-
ter method is that while it preserves
the contents in excellent condition, it
makes the shells rough and very brit
tie, reducing their market value con-
siderably. With the waterglass there
is no such disadvantage, since it does
not affect the shells in any way. Wa
terglass can be obtained at wholesale
drug stores, and as a rule sellers in
clude directions regarding the correct
amount Of water to be added, says the
Cultavator. Sometimes it is five times
as much by bulk or by weight, some
times ten times, sometimes IL. The
eggs, which should be fresh, clean
and, II possible, infertile, should be
placed in a glazed vessel and the wa
terglass poured over them.

Planting Melons.

Watermelons should not be planted
until all danger Of frost Is over, and
should be planted in hills about ten
feet apart each way. The more mod
ern method Of watermelon culture is
to pillow out the rows one way, fill the
trenches with manure, thoroughly mix
with the soil in the trenches by run
ming back and forth with a scooter
pillow. then throw the soil back again
and plant the seed in the bed thus
formed. This is a more economical
way of preparing the ground on a
large scale than by the old method of
individual hill preparation. The hills
may be planted ten feet apart each
way or the rows made wider apart
and the seed planted closer together
IN the row.

GENERAL. FARM NOTES.

Add little sulphur to the white.
wash for the trunks Of the fruit trees.
Do not plant more cotton this year,
but gather more from what you do
plant.
A sandy loan usually produces po-
tatoes of a better quality than does
heavier soil.
AS rule, enough powder will go
from the hen to the chicks aad keep
them free from lice.
The essentials to success in poul.
try raising are cleanliness, sunshine,
shade and good food
Don't crowd the little chicks. Give
them plenty of room, warmth, dry
ness and cleanliness.
Keep your laying hens In the poul-
try house on chilly mornings until the
suns warmth can be felt.
It is necessary to spray potatoes to
prevent blight. and Bordeaux should
be applied early in the summer; do
not wait for the blight to appear.
Cotton has probably been censured
and. abused for its failure to make
the farm pay more than any other
crop, yet that fact does not render
1t ineligible to place on diversi
fed farm.
Nitrate Of soda or cotton seed meal
may be applied to the garden before
the first cultivation If the soil is not
rich enough in nitrogen. Beds and
boxes OF plants may be watered with
liquid manure.
Rice is very valuable food for
chickens, ducks. turkeys and geese.
Rough rice or broken grains can be
bought at the mills at reasonable
prices, and no grain is better. Try
It and be convinced.
