One Charge Untrue at Least.

John Purroy Mitchell of New York
was talking about a new defense of
Tammany.
ut is a ridiculously naive defense"
he said. 1T reminds me of Paint
Rock.
"a visitor to the retired village of
Pain Rock remarked to a native:
"Mr. Scribbler was charmed with
Paint Rock. In his book he calls 1t
the %quaintest, sleepiest town
"But here the native, biting vicious
ly into a plug Of chewing tobacco,
growled:
wall, Paint Rock may be quaint,
all right, all right; but l don't see
nothin' sleepy about a place whar
everybody's up at four in the morn

clrcumventlno Satan.

In some parts Of the world, particu-
larly in Germany, it is still believed
that the upsetting of the s~alt-cellar is
the direct act of Satan, And the
habit of trying to avert any catas-
trophe which may happen by tossing
a little salt over the shoulder is due
to the belief that by SO doing n hits
the invisible Satan in the eye, which
temporarily, at least, prevents him
doing further mischief.

MARKETING THE POULTRY
GROUND GRAIN FATTENS MORE
cHEAPLY THAN WHOLE GRAIN.
BY r. v. Mitchell of the College of
Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.

The state Of Missouri leads in the
production and value of poultry. This
is due to the fact that the climatic
conditions r suitable; that grain
crops can be raised in abundance and
that the farmers realize that the pro,
duction Of poultry is a profitable
sourc of income on the farm.
One of the most popular breeds of
farm chickens in, Missouri is the
Barred Plymouth Rock. They are
strong and hearty and will produce as
many eggs as any Of the general-pur-
pose breeds. They have the ability

cannot become the mothers of strong,
hardy pigs.
1t is generally advised that sows
with great length of body be selected
for breeding purposes, length of body
being taken as an indication of fe-
cundity. However, length of body
should not be selected at the sacri-
fee of quality. 1t is not usually the
fat, cluffy sows of the herd that make
the best breeders, but rather the
longer bodied, more vigorous sows,
which show quality and have good
grazing and feeding powers.
Brood SOW should show consider
able quality, but should not be over
refined and delicate. Extremes of re-
finement often lead to delicacy of con-
stitution and often accompany ster-
ility.
1t is important that a Brood SOW
should have good 'assimilative powers
that Is, she should be a good feeder.
Otherwise, the litter will be small
and the SOW will give but little milk.
1t is important that the SOW should
give a large quantity of milk, for I'm
less young pigs get all the milk they
need during the first five weeks OF
their life they are usually stunted in
growth and require a long time and
extra care for recovery.
Sows used for the production of
hogs for the general market should be
of the fat or lard hog type, and may
be of any of the breeds which repre-.
sent this type. They may be pure
bred or nearly so. OF course, for. the
production of market hogs only the
sows need not be registered, but they
should possess all the prominent char
acteristics of the breed to which they
belong.
The important qualifications which
should be looked for are smoothly
covered shoulders, a wide, straight,
deeply fleshed back, w%ell-sprung ribs,
straight, deep sides, broad rump and
deep, w~ell-rounded hams.
A last but very important point
about the brood sows of the herd is
that they should be uniform in type
and color. Otherwise, the crop of
pigs will be a heterogeneous lot, not
at all pleasing to the eye and likely to
prove unsatisfactory in the feed lot
and improbable to the owner. 1t
may truly be said that uniformity in
the herd adds to the selling price OF
the animals when they are marketed.
The expression, "The male is half
the herd" is often quoted. If the boar
is half the herd the sows certainly
constitute the other half, and their
selection is a highly important matter
which should receive the anne care.
full attention as the selection of the
boar.
