The Best Breed of Hogs.

The first question every beginner
asks is, what is the best breed OF
hogs" The breed makes little differ
ence. Good individuals Of any popular
line, If backed by good ancestors, will
make money with proper handling. l
believe the best for you is the breed
you like. If you like red hogs raise
Duroc-Jerseys. If you like good black
and white hogs with ears turned down
get Poland Chinas. If your fancy
turns to black and white hogs with
ears erect take Berkshires. IF you want
to raise bacon hogs and you prefer
white ones get Yorkshires. If you pre-
fer red get Tamworths. White hogs Go
well in the northern sections. Either
Chester Whites or Cheshires may be
crown. As rule. white hogs are not
profitable In the south. The Intense
sun blisters the skin and may cause
chronic sores. The choiHe of breed Is
usually a matter OF fancy. An impor-
tant point is the selection Of god in
dividuals from prolific strains an1

FIGHT THE WILD CARROT.

This Weed Is a Great Spreader, but
Not Very Hard to Eradicate.
The wild carrot, familiarly known as
"bird's nest or Queen Anne's lace"
Is found on wild land and along the
roads in the eastern half of the Unit
ed States and Canada. 1t came here
from England. 1t produces flower
stalks from one to three feet high and
has tall, slender, hollow stems and a
finely cut leaf. The flowers are white,
and the clusters with the stems re-
sembe an umbrella. 1t has very
strong, suffocating odor when in bloom,
and this with its nectar attracts scores
of insects. 1t blooms from June to
September. The large number Of in
sects which visit it make polleniza-
ton almost sure, which partly ac-
counts for the readiness with which it
spreads, says Farm and Fireside.
1t is a biennial, and the first season
1t produces rather a low vegetative
growth. The second season it sends up
long flower stems. The seeds are very
numerous, and if the flower stems are
cut down before seed has been form
ed new stems will come up.
This weed is a demon to spread, but
not very hard to eradicate. Good cul-

The Friesian people, whose name is
particularly familiar to all Holstein
breeders, first came into history about
300 B. c., but from whence they origi-
mated is an unsettled fact. From the
earliest historical accounts Of the
Friesian people they have dwelt upon
the shores of the North sea and pos
sessed herds Of cattle. from which
they have derived their chief means
Of support

tribe, who were also breeders of cattle.
settled near the Friesians. The sup
position of many is that dating back
the Friesian cattle were white, while
the cattle Of their neighDors were
black, and from the cross Of the two
the foundation of the present Friesian
breed was laid.
The Holstein-Friesian, commonly
termed the black and white COW, is
Of splendid conformation. The head

to show this loop cut off and the end

Professor w. n. Munson recommends
for treatment of old orchards to plow

the middle Of August, when a cover

be cut down, less water should
be given, and more protein and

to keep the SOW in a laxative

Amount Of Grain For Cattle.

The amount OF grain that should be
given to cattle that are being finished
On the grass should be gauged by the
prospective time for selling and by
the condition Of the grass. When thu
animals are to be sold early, as in
June or July, more grain or meai
should be fed than If marketed later

the grass is really at its best, which

Involves but a few simple con-

never use q cloth, as the latter
cannot be kept in a sanitary con-

cold or lukewarm water, never
. hot water, as the latter tends to
cook the milk fast to the tin. In
this way the bulk Of the adher-
ing milk Is removed. Then water
: should be used containing sal

. der no circumstances should
soap be used. Thorough ril-sing

FEEDING PRIZE CATTLE.
Methods Pursued at the Nebraska Ex-
pertinent Station.

Methods Pursued at the Nebraska Ex-
pertinent Station.
The Nebraska station was particu-
larly fortunate in the awards at the
recent international show in Chicago.
It is scarcely necessary to say that
in fitting fat cattle continuous devel-
opment is desired, writes Professor
Rail Of the University Of Nebraska.
Beginning with the calves, as young
sters Of from ten weeks to three
months of age, they are fed literally,
so that growth is never checked. The
steers are housed at night in winter,
but run in the yard during the day
unless the weather is very bad. Grain
is fed inside, each steer having his
own feed box Such feeds as silage
and roots also are usually fed inside,
though silage is fed also in the large
feed bunk outside. Hay is placed in
a large rack in the open yard. The
aim in feeding the steers over winter
is to carry them in good growing con-
dition, but not to get them too fat.
This general scheme of feeding and
managing continues throughout the
winter, the cattle getting sufficient ex-
ercise in the lot or from being used In
the judging classes. When spring ap-
breaches and the warm days begin to
bring flies the steers are no longer out
during the day, being stalled then, but
they are turned out overnight on blue
grass pasture. Grass during the nigh!
md q moderate allowance of grain
morning and evening is the usual plan
IF feeding during spring and summer
Cool quarters, free of flies, are provid
I'd during summer and fall. In the
early fail the rations are gradually in
reased, ard early in the season the
steers are practically all on full feed.
The foodstuffs used at the station
re corn, oats, bran and oilmeal for
rain rations, with alfalfa as prin-
ipal roughage. Occasionally bit Of
