point, the hog should be one that will
produce the highest percentage of high
priced meat with the smallest per-
centage of waste or offal. In other
words, the butcher or packer demands
a hog with smooth, well-laid-in shout
ders, slightly arched back, a good
spring of ribs, and with loin and ham
that are exceptionally well developed.
The body, as a whole, should have
no indication of being dabby or having
waste
Sows of the desired type to be used
In the breeding herd may be too ex-
-pensive or it may be impossible to buy
suitable soWs. Under these conditions,
the only method we have for obtaining
individuals of the right type is to OBJ
tain good pure-5red boar. Using
this boar on the soWs of the farm, Sc
lecting the most desirable females to
be kept in the breeding herd.
The sow is supplying nourishment
for the litter she is carrying and, there
fore, in order that the litter may be
sufficiently developed, she must have
the kind of food that will develop bone
and muscle. The proper proportions
may be secured by the use of such
feeds as standard wheat middlings
(shorts), bran, oil meal and digester
tankage in combination with corn.
Corn is one of the best feeds for hogs,
but does not supply sufficient amount
of protein and should for that reason
be used in connection with feeds that
are rich in protein. Either one of the
following mixtures will give good re-
suits:
a1-62 pounds corn, 30 pounds
shorts, pounds digester tankage.
(2)-2 pounds corn, l pound shorts.
The brood SOW should be fed just
enough to keep her in good, vigorous
condition She should have plenty of
exercise, and this can not be obtained
in stall in the barn or in 10 by IL
pen, but she should have the range of
small pasture. The sow should not
be confined to small quarters until
within one week of narrowing time
After narrowing the SOW should be kept
as quiet as possible for "a to 80 hours
and her ration should consist of moth.
ing but plenty of fresh water. During
the first two weeks after narrowing
great care should be taken in regard
to the feeding Of the sow, for over.
feeding during these first two weeks
will often result in milk fever for the
mother or scours for the litter.
The pigs should have an abundance
OF sunlight and exercise, and should
be. taught to eat as soon as possible.
There are vast opportunities for the
farmer of West Virginia in the produc
ton of the more desirable type Of mar
ket hogs. He will find that this more
desirable type will find more ready
market, and their production will,
prove profitable enterprise.

The West Virginia Federation Of

whereas, 1t has been found In this
and other states that false weights and

Whereas the present state law is

Resolved, first, That a more effec-

forming to laws in other states where
the inspection Of weights and meas

Second, That there be established
in this state State Bureau of Weights
and Measures, and that each county be
supplied with such standards and
forced to inspect all weights and meas

two years, and report to the State Seal
