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
the indications as to what is really a
good bacon pig, we might start first
from the head.
Here, length of snout, which partly
includes length of jowl and the alb
sece 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 dear
eF. On that account light forehead
is necessary, but it must not be at the
expense of width of back or depth in
the pig.
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 gen.
orally. The advantages of 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, lean-fieshed
animal
A short heavy head is invariably as
ISOLATED with very round body and
wide and very fat back, altogether
very wasteful carcass. The neck
should not be too long, otherwise 1t
indicates weakness and a short neck
generally goes with a short side,
which from the bacon point of view
OF course is not desirable. 1t is i'm

PRACTICAL HINTS
AROUND THE FARM
Ration for Idle Horses Should Be
Reduced-Get Cows Into
Good Condition.

A Pennsylvania man had a fine
young horse die from nothing in the
world but overlooking when not in
work. If he had cut the ration down
to one-half while the animal was stand
ing in the stable idle, it would not
have had azoturia, a disease that is
almost always fatal.
When your horses take cold few
drops of oil of tar dropped into the
feed will do a lot of good.
When you put the horse in the sta
BILE, wet from hard work or driving
on the road, rub down first with dry
straw, then put on a light blanket,
later following with a heavier one. A
horse cared for that way will rarely
take cold.
Scrape the snow and litter off your
shoes before boing into the house,
Your wife is an awfully good woman,
of course, but she often feels tired
when you come in bringing load OF
perfumery on your shoes and sit down
at the kitchen fire and perhaps in the
nice clean sitting room. Be thought.
full of these things.
If your COWS come through skin
poor, it will take you several weeks
after they go to grass to get them up
in condition to do good work. That
will cost you good deal more than
it will now to give them plenty of
good feed to bring them up into good
condition.
A good sled is nice thing to draw
manure out on if you do not own ma
nure spreader. Have it about ten
feet long, made of good strong stuff
and furnished with good bottom and
sideboards. BY putting the manure
on day by day as made, you can keep
your yard clean all winter through,
and in the bargain have your manure
all drawn out when spring comes.
Water runs down hill. Think of
this if you draw manure in winter.
Ii you spread it on the side of hill
when the snow comes, it will carry
off a good share of the goodness of
your fertilizer in the spring. You
can't afford that. If you can, few of
US can.

it, They have twin boys, and if ever
saw limbs-well, Betsy-Barbara is on
the jump all the time keeping them
from committing fifty-seven varieties
of murder and suicide they've thought
out for themselves. Martin says he's
glad he's given up his old job, for it
certainly would be up to him to get
them both life some day. But I no
tice he's ready to go over there every
time we're invited, and he spends the
whole time playing with those young
sters.
The Wades are still abroad. Their
little daughter was born in Florence.
Mrs. Wade nearly died, but she didn't
mind-that child, Judging by the pic
lures they've sent, is a perfect little
angel. Mrs Wade says her name is

her fathers eye. They'll come back
next spring.

Marty your invitation, but he says he

Hardy Alfalfa,

We do not think that the value of
the acclimated Montana or Dakota
seed is as well known as it should be.
Scientists in the past have not always
agreed as to the influence Of environ
ment upon plants, says a writer in an
exchange. Some have thought that
both plants and their offspring were
affected by soil and climatic condi-
tions, other that they were not so af-
fected and that hardy strains would
retain their hardness, no matter
where planted, north or south. Of late
they seem to be reaching neutral
ground on this question.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1914-03-12

| 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
we'll and allow the animal to be turn
ed out slightly flat from the sides.
There will then be less wasteful fat
on the top without decreasing the
depth of the pig.
What is wanted is a pig that con-
tains 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?s The rump should not be too
straight, otherwise the hams will in
variably be short. There should be no
flabbiness about the hams and a we'll
carried tail puts finish to 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 of meat of very fine
quality without substance. Round
bone should be avoided as it indicates
lack of breeding and is invariably as
sociated with fat carcass.
The pasterns should not be weak
and the pig should be straight on its
legs. This is likewise of great i'm
portance 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 ta
| fulfill.

pearls are worn with it. An elaborate
frock does not become overelaborate
with pearls as an accessory.
Pearls may be worn at simple oc-
casions and not give the wearer a
overloaded look. They may be worn
at the most formal occasion and add
to the festiveness of attire"

Early Peas.

Early peas bring quick returns and
may be followed by some other cash
crop. The dwarf varieties, such as
Motifs Excelsior and Alaska, are most
profitable and there will be plenty of
time for crop Of late celery after
the peas have been sold.

Not a Sea Serpent.

An exciting hunt for what was be.
lieved to be a sea serpent, took place
on the Humber, off Hull, England, the
other day. Rivermen, lightermen and
tugmen all engaged in the hunt. The
serpent turned out to be bullock,
which swan strongly and evaded
capture for some time. 1t was even
tually lassoed and towed ashore.

WOMEN FIND THIS is
BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Many Mothers and Wives Have Learned
That Dodson's Liver Tone is Fine
Remedy for Constipation.

!. Ed. M. Murphey, Pharmacist, will
tell You that it takes the women to
realize the merits of new remedy for
constipation and biliousness quickly and
surely. whether it is for themselves or
someone else in their families.
There are today great number
OF households in which Dodson's Liver
Tone has come to take the place of dan
gerous calomel as well as all other rem
edies for such ailments and where an
atmosphere of health and happiness
now prevails.
Dodson's Liver Tonic is uncondition-
ally guaranteed by Ed. M. Murphey to
be safe liver remedy and regulator,
absolutely harmless and with no bad af-
ter-effects such as are liable with calo-
mel.
Dodson's is pleasant-tasting vegeta-
bic liquid and clears the aching head
and suffering body with no pain nor
grippe.
So perfect a remedy has Dodson's
Liver Tone proved to be that your
druggist will refund the purchase price
(5Oc.) instantly without question il YOU
are not thoroughly satisfied. They are
authorized to-, do so by Dodson, who
doesn't want your money unless his
