meat that is known.
The Tamworth is particularly fond

Of all kinds to which the average type
of fat hog Is not partial.
During the past few years a very
large trade In American hams has
sprung up in Europe, particularly Eng
land. The consumer over there de-
mands a small ham and our Amer
lean packers are endeavoring to edu-
cate farmers to the idea OF curing
hogs that will average around $50
pounds. Matured hogs that will weigh
less ara ever more eagerly sought.
The truth is that our best hams are
sent to England; 1t is not an easy mat
ter to obtain these small, well bal
anced hams in this country, and we
are forced to take the big, fat hog
ham, with the trimmings, and hypno-
tie ourselves into the belief hat we
are eating the real thing, or let them
alone
1t is not likely that the ideal small
ham will aver be produced in large
quantities in the corn belt, for the rea-
son above stated; we may expect the
best hogs of this type to come from
the South, where they feed less corn
and more peas and clover.
Some farmers down there are be-
coming rich, raising TaLlworths and
small Berkshires for the express pur.
pose of producing the ideal hams, and
they Obtain very high prices for this
type of hog.

80 - ~
The art of making good, sweet hams,
properly balanced with fat and lean
and cured to a turn is fast slipping
away from us here In America.
The old-time southern planters new
er bred hogs for fat and rarely cured
an animal for their own use that
weighed yer IT'S pounds.
These men bred the long lean ami
mails which we're fattened on mash
and clover, because not a great deal
of corn is raised in the South; and
the result was an ideal ham-and.bacon
hog.
In the great corn belt farmers are
disposed to breed and feed for fat be-
cause they are not satisfied to send
to market a l75-pound hog at Christ.
mas time when they can just as we'll
bring him up to 800 pounds. To them
all hog meat looks alike.
A 30O-pound hog does not make good
hams. They are coarse and contain a
large amount Of fat which the packers
trim of in order to bring the size down
to make them look like hams from a
small hog.
People want hams from hogs that
weight from 1875 to $50 pounds, and
they cannot be deceived by hams from
2 300-pound hog with the fat trimmed
of.
The consumption OF hams in this
country is steadily falling of for this
reason, and further, because a ham
cured in the average packing house
is anything but ideal food.
The small or middle-sized Berkshire
makes a good ham. although there Is
a tendency to fat. The ideal ham hos
is, in our opinion, the Tamworth. He
is a glutton for protein foods. al

D0DDER is WORST
WEED IN ALFALFA
Annual Parasitic Plant Starts
From Seed in Ground
Guard Against 1t.

w. 8. Oswald of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station say that In Western
states and In some of the European
countries, dodder is the worst weed
found In alfalfa fields. II is an annu-
al parasitic plant which starts from
the seed In the ground and develops
into a long, thread ike stem. winding
itself around the alfalfa plant and
sending parasitic roots or suckers into
the plant. 1t then lives on the nour-
ishment which should be used in de-
veloping the alfalfa plant.
Dodder has not yet secured a strong
foothold In the alfalfa fields Of this
state. probably because alfalfa has not
been raised for seed to any considera-
BILE extent. AS long as alfalfa ia grown
only for hay. do6der should not be-
come a very serious weed pest. How
ever. as alfalfa will probably be grown
and more for seed each year, ex-
treme care should be taken to secure
seed which Is free from dodder and
to avoid the introduction OF dodder
into the states.
There are two dodder varieties COM
mon In alfalfa fields. The small-seed-
ed alfalfa dodder is not as bad as the
large-seeded variety, as the seed is
easily separated from that of alfalfa.
The seed OF the l~arge-seeded alfalfa
dodder Is about the same size as al
falfa seed and 1t is almost impossible
to separate them.

CLIPPING HORSES
IN THE HOT SEASON
Practise Has Proved Of Great
Benefit to Health anc vigor
of Work Animals.

Clipping during the hot season OF
the year has proved OF great benefit
to the health, comfort and vigor of
work horses. thus adding to their
beauty. value and usefulness. The
horse that has been idle all winter
very seldom gets the grooming that he
deserves, says Spirit of the West and
as a consequence, his hair grows long
and thick and the pores of the skin
become clogged with dust and dirt.
The change from idleness In cold
weather to that OF long days of hard
work In rapidly advancing tempers
lures means a great deal OF
sary discomfort from the heat II the
horse has a thick coat. He Is In about
tho same condition a man would be II
forced to perform hard work with Q
heavy overcoat on.
