SELECTING A BOAR
TO HEAD The HERD.
A Sire Of Pure Breeding Es-
SentiaI to Good Results.

Select the boar for the work he has
to do in your herd. If the sows are
of the fine boned type the boar should
be more rangy and of larger bone, not
only to increase the size of the pigs,
but to prevent actual deterioration.
If the sows are big and rangy the
boar may be more compact. AS the
boar gives half the blood to every lit
ter and the sow can only influence her
own brood, it is vitally important that
the boar be good individual and able
to reproduce his kind.
Many herd boars are bought while
young, as the shipping charges are
heavy. When this is done the pig
should be selected for his vitality, his
masculine character, his heart girth
and his breadth between the eyes.
Moreover, he must be pure bred, no
matter what the quality of the sows
grade boar may sire good pigs, but
these pigs will have inherited his taint
of blood, and deterioration and not i'm
provement is sure to result. Not all
registered boars are good animals or
good sires, and no breeder should sell
an inferior animal even If he is eligl-
BILE to record. Pure bred animals, if
of good quality, are the only ones to
use for profitable results, as they sup
ply the only means of Improvement
in breeding operations. Feeding has
much to do with getting results, but
there must be something to feed, and
this can only come through good blood
Generally speaking, young boar mat
ed with an aged SOW will produce ear
lier maturing pigs than will an aged
boar mated with young SOW, and in
this may be found the best argument
for keeping a SOW as long as she will
breed satisfactorily.

With few exceptions there is a mark
ed equality between the length of the
necks and of the legs of both birds and
quadrupeds, and whether they be long
or short Is determined chiefly by the
place where the animal must go for
Its food. This is especially noticeable
in beasts that feed constantly upon
grass, in which case the neck has just
slight advantage in that it cannot
hang perpendicularly down. Croco-
diles, lizards and fish have practically
no necks. Fowls that feed in the
water also offer an example of this
correspondence between the members,
with the exception of swans and geese
and some Indian birds, which gather
their food from the bottom of pools
and must have long necks for that pur-
pose, while the short legs make 1t
more convenient for them to swim

WINTER BASEBALL CHAT

The Japs are coming. The Kioto
university is booking games with
American college teams.
Not day passes that some fan
doesn't break into print with a "new
idea" A million suggestions to i'm
prove the game are being printed and
reprinted.
For the first time last season Wal
ter Johnson, the Washington pitcher,
won more than half his games. His
record was twenty-five won and sew
enteen lost.
Dan Howley, a former catcher of
indianapolis, plans to take two teams
to Ireland next fall. Hub Hart and
Jack Heydon have already signed to
go with Howley.
When will the American association
muster up courage to place a third
major league club In Chicago? The in

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Value of SkimmiIk.

The popular impression is that skim
milk is of little value. This is great
mistake. The butter fat taken out by
the separator has much less food val
ue than the skimmilk. The latter Is
what builds up bone and muscle. 1t
is almost a perfectly balanced food,
while the fat serves only to make heat
and other fat in the animal consuming
it. In 100 pounds of skimmilk there
are eighty-seven pounds of water four
pounds of fat, five pounds of milk sug-
ar, three and three-tenth pounds of
casein and albumen and seven-tenths
of a pound of mineral matter of salts
This makes thirteen pounds of solids
to every 100 pounds of milk and they
are of the greatest nutritive value.

fifty yards to one mile.
And there is small hope Of persuad
ing the champion to change his mind
Growing business interests and the
care of family take up so much of
his time that it is impossible for him
to train properly, and he wisely con-
tends that it is no use trying to do
anything unless one can do it in the
right way.
For the race which he won by a
scant margin from James Reilly in
New York recently he had absolutely
no preparation, and he realizes that
the day has passed when he can expect
to beat his rivals without training,
Newcomers are improving so rapidly
that even he must be at his best to
win, and one must commend his de-
cision in retiring at the zenith of his
career, much as all will regret his loss.

Next season the grand circuit will
not have as easy sailing as it has had
in the past, for a new trotting circuit
has been formed here, known as the
great central circuit, and has selected
the same cities for some of its meets
as used by the veteran body. -Four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
purses will be offered by the new
taas7-
The reason for forming the new cir
cult is because of the fight between
Lexington and Columbus in regard TO
the dates awarded by the grand circuit
stewards at their annual meeting.
The dates given Columbus dovetail-
ed into those claimed by Lexington.
and when the latter refused to change
or become a member Of the grand cir
cuff the Columbus association decided
to declare war on the pareng body.

Casing For Milk.

Placing milk in unclean vessels is
one great source of infection. Bits of
old, spoiled milk left in seams and
cracks of cans carry bacteria enough
to soon spoil the whole contents. To
leave the can open or exposed to the
air is another common way of intro
ducing bacteria or germs. Bacteria
also multiply rapidly in warm milk;
hence the necessity of low temper
ature. The cooler milk is kept the
longer it stays sweet. 1t should be
kept cool up to the time of using.

Young pigs should have the best of
care and get to eating nicely while on
the mother. They should not be wean-
ed until they are nine weeks old if
good results are obtained. Most of
the farmers do not feed their young
pigs often enough, but will give them
too much at one time. They should
get their feed eight or nine times a
day, and only a little at a time If
good and quick growth is obtained.

The care of the poultry during win

composed of a multitude of small mat
ters which contribute each their part

Washington, Oct 5.--A decision by

Several cases raising the constitu-

Iieved that one of the justices has
prepared an opinion in the cases ana
that his associates will have approved
1t in time for publication on the first

Because the first employers liability
law passed by congress was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
and because the court has taken so
long to consider the present cases, the
opinion is awaited with much sus-
pense.
