The Man Behind the Gun.

The late Admiral Erben had the good
fortune or the merit to originate a
world circling phrase, 1.-The man be-
hind the gun" He used 1t in speech
on the factors of success in naval war
fare to emphasize the necessity OF
having efficiency, preparedness, run
through the entire personnel. 1t was
also reminder that the enlisted men
have good deal more to do with
bringing about victory than always
appears in history or official reports.
The expression was employed In sup
plementing the views of Captain Ma
han and attained circulation at once
as epitomizing whole library OF In
struction.-Boston Transcript

Selecting The Herd Boar.

Now is the time of the year
that those in need of a herd boar
should be on the lookout for a
suitable sire for next springs
litters. The fall fairs will bring
out many excellent individuals to
choose from, so few words on
desirable characteristics may be
helpful:
l. Get a boar with register
ed pedigree, but get a good in
dlvldual also. for there are culls
IN all filters. Never use a grade
sire no matter how good he NAV
be, for he can not be depended
upon to produce his equal.
z. In general appearance the
boar should have a smooth and
well rounded body, with good
length and depth; carrying a
deep covering of flesh through
out; back arched with no depres-
sion back of the shoulders; under
line straight, low in flank and
f1oor of the chest; and width of
fore quarters should not greatly
exceed that of the rear quarters.
3. Quality is shown by a
smooth skin, free from wrinkles
and all appearance of coarseness;
hair straight and of a silky text
ure; bone large but clean, THAT
is free from meatiness.)
a. In form the snout should
be short; the face broad between
the eyes; eyes full and bright;
ears refined and neat, typical of
the breed; neck short and deep;
shoulders smooth on top, fitting
smoothly on to the body; chest
broad and deep with no constric-
ton back of the shoulders. This
is especially important as indi-
cative of the vigor and constitu-
ton of the hog. The ribs should
be well sprung and come down
deep on the sides; loin wide and
deep; rump smooth and not too
sloping and tail set we'll up; hams
full, extending well down to
hooks; legs short and straight,
with plenty of bone and short
pasterns.
S. Avoid hogs with long legs
and shouts, shallow bodies, mar
row heads, contracted heart
girths, or long pastern combined
with a small bone. Also avoid
hogs that are too plump and
chubby in appearance, the breed
ing animal should have plenty of
size and a massive appearance.
A very fat hog is a bad risk for
there is danger of his breeding
faculties being impaired.
