to look. Sands bent a little and then
glanced wonderingly into the bed

This action Of the Directors is evidence

in view OF these financial difficulties. some

Some Pointers On Best Bacon Type
Faulty Breeding Often Responsible When Hogs do Not Reach
Packers Ideal.

bacon point Of view of course is not
desirable. 1t is important 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 al
low the animal to be turned out slightly
flat from the sides. There will then
be less wasteful fat on the top without
decreasing the depth of the pig.
Maximum of Lean.
What is-wanted is q pig that contains
a maximum of lean meat and an under
cut with as much streaky as possible.
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 will invariably be short. There
should be no flabbiness about the hams
and wellcarried tail puts finish to a
|pig, which helps it greatly at the time
of sale to the butcher.
The quantity of bone should also be
accompanied by strength of bone, be-
cause it is not possible to carry a
heavy weight without substance. Round
bone should be avoided as it indicates
lack of breeding and is invariably as
sociated with a fat carcass.
The pasterns should not be weak and
the pig should be straight ON its legs.
This is likewise of great importance for
exercise is necessary in the production
of the best class of carcass.
These may seem small points yet they
all indicate particular functions which
the bacon pig is supposed to fulfill.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-06-18

same nutritive ratio, containing the
same digestble nutrients, the pigs
which were fed tankage also received
about to pound moro barley per
day than the other lot. The pigs in
both lots made gain of 10 pounds
per day per pig, which is exceptionally
good The feed per pound of gain was
also very low. The two rations there
fore proved about equal, as might be
expected from their composition. AS
to cost, the milk was by-produet of
the farm and did not have fixed mar
ket value. In this case 10 pounds of
milk was equal to pound of tank
age and the ! pound of barley. One
half pound of tankage costs II cents
and the pound of barley .624 cents,
total of 1871 cents. The 10 pounds
of milk had an equivalent feeding
value and may therefore be considered
to have value of 1.S7a cents or a
value of 1872 cents per hundred pounds
as compared with tankage at $50 per
ton and barley at $l.25 per 100 pounds.
Wheat and barley have been con
sdered as good feed for fattening hogs,
and are without doubt the best among
all the cereals for this purpose. How
ever, the experiments mentioned were
undertaken for the purpose of deter
mining the value of supplemental food
that would constitute a more nearly
balanced ration. The results show
conclusively the economy of combining
either skim milk or tankage with wheat
or barley for fattening hogs.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-06-18

but the results were rather to the con
trary. Averaging all of the results. it
required 432 pounds of barley alone to
mako 100 pounds gain; 3S7 pounds of
barley and 27S pounds of milk; 475
pounds Of wheat alone, and 300 pounds
of wheat and 264 pounds of milk. 1t
is believed that further experiments,
conducted on larger scale, will show
less difference between the two gains.
Most of these experiments were con
Quoted upon a comparatively small
scale, where perhaps the individuality
of single pig might have influenced
tho results.
Tankage and barley vs.. barley alone
showed that the pigs getting the tank
age made "a per cent more gain, and
that 100 pounds of the tankage took
the place of 419 pounds of barley How
ever, it must be borne in mind that
tankage and barley, a balanced ration,
were fed against barley alone, which
forms an unbalanced ration.
Tankage vs.. skim milk is compari-
son between two balanced rations. In
1910 two lots of pigs were fed, one on
barley supplemented with 10 pounds
of skim milk, and the other on barley
with J pound of tankage. In order to
make the rations of practically the

THE style of animal which best meets
j the bacon curer's ideal has often
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 the
indications as to what is really a good
bacon pig, we might start first from
the head.
Here, length of snout, which partly in
cludes length of jowl and the absence of
loose flabbiness 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 dearer. On
that account light forehead is neces-
sary, but it must not be at the expense
of width of back or depth in the pig.
Narrow at Poll.
AS a 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 it can be applied generally.
The advantages of prominent eye and
smooth unwrinkled jaw or cheek, as
well as width between the eyes, are that
they invariably indicate smooth, lean
fleshed animal.
A short heavy head is invariably as
sociated with a very round body and a
wide and very fat back, altogether a
very wasteful carcass. The neck should
not be too long, otherwise it indicates
weakness, and short neck generally
goes with short side, which from the

Aged Citizen Passes Away.

A little after midnight last Thurs
day, the 10Th, the spirit of Nathaniel
o. Davis, an aged pioneer citizen of
this city took flight. A native of
Georgia, Mr.. Davis had lived in Pa
latka since before the civil S@ar. He
was "a years of age and up to Is
years ago was engaged actively in
his business as a builder. The later
years have been passed in peace and
pleasure with his family and in the
companionship of lifelong friends
and associates. Though somewhat
enfeebled with the weight of years,
it was vouchsafed him to live in the
enjoyment of his faculties to the end;
his death was sudden.
Mr.. Davis was a private Confeder-
ate soldier. He served faithfully
in every walk of life; his spirit
was gentle, his heart was filled
with charity and these with an
always cheerful disposition made
him an ever welcome companion even
in his advanced years. The children
and young people enjoyed his pre-
sence. Dead, he has bequeathed moth
ing but a pleasant recollection to
those who knew and walked with him.
He was really loved in all the years
of his activity and reverenced in the
years of his decline. His death is
really mourned in many a home in
this city, and among the men of the
street who knew him but in a passing
way there is sorrow in the thought
that his kindly greeting will come to
them no more.
The funeral was held at his late
home on Kirby street Saturday af-
teronon and was largely attended.
Rev. DR.. Purcell officiated. The Ma
sonic Lodge also had part, for Mr..
Davis was for many years consis-
tent member of that order.
Mr.. Davis is survived by two daugh-
ters, Mrs. R. H. Hanley and Miss
Florence Davis of this city, two sons,
w. Carl Davis of Palatka and A. G.
Davis of Jacksonville; also by two
step-sons, who were by every tie of
affection as his own, w. L. Riles of
Bradentown and R. J. Riles, the we'll
known jeweler of Jacksonville. May
the soul of this kindly old man rest
in peace.
