The style of animal which best
meets the bacon curer's ideal has oft
en- been spoken about, but the desired
standard Is not always reached. and
this In many cases Is due to faulty
breeding
To consider briefly one or two Of
good bacon pig. we might start f1rst
from the head.
re.length of snout, which partly
includes length Of jowl and the abb
sece Of loose habbiness SO frequently
seen there, indicates as a rule a
lengthy animal. The idea has been to
reduce the cheap parts of the animal
and to increase those which are dear
er. On that account light forehead
Is necessary. but 1t must not be at the
expense of width of back or depth In
the pig.
AS rule pig narrow at the poll
(between the ears) is not the widest
on his top. nor is he the thriftiest Of
feeders. There may be exceptions to
this rule. but 1t can be applied gem
orally. The advantages of a promi-
nent eye and a smooth unwrinkled
jaw or cheek. as well as width be-
tween the eyes. are that they invaria-
bly, indicate a smooth. leap-feshed
animal.
A short heavy head is invariably as
sociated with very round body and
wide and very fat back. altogether

should not be too long. otherwise 1t

FATTENING' PIGS
ON SHELLED CORN
Experiment Conducted at South
Dakota Station Shows Advan-
tages in Using Milk.

Ordinarily. with all ages OF swine, a
bushel Of shelled corn will produce an
average OF ten pounds of pork In an
experiment at the South Dakota sta
ton, on an average for the two years
OF feeding period of sixty-two days
each. bushel of shelled corn yielded
11.9 pounds of pork. But when an av-
erage Of 163 pounds of milk was fed
with bushel OF shelled corn, an aver
age yield of IT. pounds of pork was
produced.
This was a difference OF 5.8 pounds
in favor of the milk lots; or, in other
words. the milk was equal to 5S
pounds of pork However. It must not
be understood that this quantity of
milk fed to a pig without the corn
would yield this amount of gain, but
when fed in combination. as above
stated. similar results are to be ex-
pected.

PROPER FEED FOR
LAMBS PAYS WELL
Sudden Change in Ration Gre
ates Dietetic Disorders and
Consequent Loss of Life.

By GEORGE II. GLOVER. Colorado Ag-
rtcultural Coilege.)
small percentage of loss in lambs
in the feed lot is to be expected. but
this loss in some instances is far
greater than 1t should be. When range
lambs are placed on a fattening ration
the change of feed is SO sudden that
dietic disturbances cause a general
disorder and several dead sheep are
found in the pens each morning. This
invariably leads to the suspicion that
they are dying Of some infectious dis
ease.
In some cases the ration is not well
balanced to secure the best gains and
the conditions of care and handling
might be better. but these things win
account for only nominal loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley. molasses and straw, ensil-
age. etc. must be made gradually and
herein lies the secret of the heavy
losses of lambs in the feed lots In
the early fall The desire to get the
lambs on a fattening ration as early
as possible and failing to appreciate
the danger of too heavy feeding and
change of ration has helped to make
lamb feeding an unprofitable business
In some instances. A sudden change
OF feed or overfeeding must be guard
ed against in the domestic animals. es-
pecially Is this true with the horse and
sheep.

portant to note the. character of the
middle piece.
The ribs should spring from the
back. but they should not be entirely
round. They should rather spring
well and allow the animal TO be turn
ed out slightly fat from the sides.
There will then be less wasteful fat
on the top without decreasins the
depth Of the pig.
What Is wanted is a pig that con-
tatns maximum Of lean meat and an
undercut with as much streaky as pos
sible. The loin should Of course be
covered and muscular, because so
much depends on good development
there? The rump should not be too
straight, otherwise the hams win In
.variably be short There should be no
fiabbiness about the hams and a we'll
carried tail puts finish to pig, which
helps 1t greatly at the time of sale to

The quantity OF bone should also be

heavy weight of meat of very fine
quality without substance. Round
bone should be avoided as 1t indicates
lack of breeding and is Invariably as
