I like Berkshire hogs because they
have a good disposition, are good look
ers and first-class feeders. The sows
are good mothers, good mixers and
raise large. even litters of pigs. They
are better hustlers than some other
breeds and can be fattened almost at
any age. There is always a demand
for them ON the eastern market and
they seem to me to be one Of the
best bacon hogs. l also prefer the
Berkshire breed because they seem

Postum. The cook didn't make It

Then my wife took the matter In

Blackleg, a bacterial disease of the

and folded up along the mid-rib.
The most characteristic thing about
them Is the inky discoloration
OF the stem. at or below the surface
Of the ground, but frequently running
up the stem from one to several
inches above ground. Tho seed-piece
from which the attacked plants spring
Is invariably attacked with a soft-rot.
and the disease appears to start on
the stem at its junction with the dis
eaSed seed tuber. The germs Of the
disease are capable Of causing a rapid
decay Of the young tubers. and these

The evidence thus far obtained in

but this should be treated with a dis

The propagation and spread of the
disease probably can be controlled
largely by the selection Of seed from

wounds, cracks or decayed areas and
treating the remainder with corrosive
