the tail to the point where the hams
Join at twists. From the side the
relative length is long from the hip
Joint to lower corner of ham, while
considerable side breadth shows, with
a strong, well-turned lower thigh and
hook joint.
The hind legs in natural position
should have strong hooks, wide and
muscular, yet not fat, standing well
apart when viewed from the rear, SO
that the legs appear quite plumb from
that point Viewed from the side the
hooks should seem deep and the legs
below carried down straight, with the
pig standing strong on the toes. All
the features of quality, bone, and
strength of position desirable in the
front legs are equally desirable in the
hind legs.
The sides from shoulder to hind
flank and ham require long, we'll
arched rib. This furnishes body of
ample digestive or breeding capacity.
Not only should the sides be deep. but
the lower part of the body in good
formation will be wide, thus preserv-
ing good line from front to hind
flank. Such body as this, full and
thick at the TANKS, is associated with
the animal of easy fattening power.
The fleShing quality of the pig is
most important. If an animal is we'll
feshed, the back, sides, shoulders,
rump, and hams will be uniformly
covered with meat, which will feel
mellow yet firm, and not harsh and
hard to the touch of the hand The
skin will be free of scurviness or
roughness, and wrinkles, will be a, tie
lacking. This smoothness of covering
is equally essential with the fat pig
or breeding animal Wrinkles often
occur about the jowl or head and
along the sides, furnishing decided
obstacles to high-grade work in dress
ing the carcass at slaughter.
The hair of the pig indicates quail
ity. A reasonable degree of fneness
is desirable, this being associated with
animals that dress out we'll in killing.
Large, coarse bristles go with heavy
joints and much bone and offal.
Curly hair is often seen on the pig, but
straight coats are more popular. The
hair should not only be of good
qaulity, but also of fair degree of
abundance.
The disposition of the fat type of
pig IS usually quiet and docile. Amcng
individuals of the same breed, those
which flesh up most readily md
respond to feeding quickest, as a gen
eral thing are of the most quiet tenn
permanent 1t is doubtless true also
that the American breeds of swine DIFF
fer to some extent in disposition and
easy feeding quality. The Poland
China for example, is notable for it's
quiet and phlegmatic habits. AS feed
ing progresses and the animal enters
the fat stage, there is natural teld-
ency to become sluggish and sleep a
great deal. This results in lack of
vlgor and strength afoot. To avoid
this, persons who fit hogs for. the
show ring compel the animals to .ex-
ercfse to certain extent each day
tor some time prior to and during the
show season. The more active tenn
permanent, of some breeds, however.
notably those of the bacon type, do not
usually require any special exercise.

bic thickness of shoulder, as this is
quite liable to be transmitted.
The front legs should show good
position, superior bone, and short
ness. Standing in natural position,
viewed from in front, the legs should
stand just under the shoulders, the
knees straight, the toes directing for
ward, the entire position indicating
easy posture. Pigs of narrow heart
girth, at least of the floor of the
chest, usually stand with the knees
close together and are what is some
times termed "knock-kneed. From
one side the leg should come down
true and plumb from the center Of
the shoulder, standing strong on the
toes, with pasterns fairly erect and
dew claws (the documentary toes on
back of leg) we'll above the ground.
A strong, well-sustained pastern is inn
portant. If the foot is weak and the
pasterns badly depressed the animal
shows tendency to support its
weight improperly. A clean, smooth,
hard bone, with strong, yet not coarse
joints, represents the better leg de-
velopment Too fine and small bone
is often seen with pigs when they
really should have heavier bone to
properly support the weight.
The back and lom of the American
type of pig in most favor is of med

p N MID-NEW YORK they are work
ing out many sided problem In
destructive and constructive en-
gineering as gigantic in these days
Of big achievements as was the
laying of the blocks of the Pyramids
on the sands of Egypt.
Proud monuments of the older New
York, which for years were pointed
out as show places, are being blotted
out that greater wonders In architec-

where one buys tickets and takes the
cars-it is center, heart of munich
pal pulsations and within its zone
there must be everything suggested
by the center, after the manner of the
side shows around the Tapping canvas
on the circus grounds.
The Grand Central station lost its
grandeur and 1t had to come down.
Likewise the entire terminal scheme
became pathetically out of date; also
the 8:03 accommodation and the 8:O4
suburban and the sos express were
forever engaged in a who's who con-
troversy on the question of right of
way. And there were other annoy
ances, too. So the problem became
one of jumping from a quarter of a
century behind the times to a quarter
of a century in advance of things as
they are. 1t is being worked out-at
a cost In excess Of the entire cost of
the original railroad which made the
first Grand Central possible.
Just now 1t is a digging problem. A
channel Is being dug in the rock from

their reach. To boys mind, battle
Is all sound and fury; the hero of the

book, Irish Life and Humor," there
is one relating to Lord Wolseley aft.

in India.
Wolseley, who is fond of children
was once introduced to a boy four
