In former years it was the practice
10 feed the pigs along slowly through
the summer, winter them, pasture
through the second summer, and fit
for market in the following fall and
early winter. One of the prime OBJ
iects was to get fat hogs that carried
a large amount of lard. Such thing
as quality In pork, as far as lean meat
was concerned, was rarely, II ever,
mentioned. It was fat pork that was
in demand for several reasons, and
that is what was produced.
Compared with the hog business OF
fifty years ago, the hog business OF
today is radically different. Lean
meat is in demand by consumers of
pork meats, and only in exceptional
cases are the fat parts OF the meat
mentioned by the consumers, except,
perhaps, when side pork is called for
because 1t is cheaper than pork chops,
hams or bacon. In the majority of
cases 1t Is the tender, juicy, sweet,
lean meat that is sought for and Sc
cured II possible
With the facts in mind the pork
producers have the task before them
of meeting the demands Of the con-
sumer. The problems of producing
the lean meat, at the least possible
cost, are the ones that should receive
attention. One should study the ma
ture OF the pigs, for mature hogs are
only a lesser factor in the business.
One should keep in mind the fact
that muscles, the lean meat. come by
Inheritance and can be developed by
liberal feeding while the animals are
young and growing. Constant growth

USE OF DYNAMITE ON SOILS
its Usefulness May Depend Largely
Upon Local condltIons--Test at
Pennsylvania Station.

The Pennsylvania station has re-
ported to the department of agricul-
ture the results Of experiments con-
Quoted to determine the influence OF
dynamiting on the physical condition
Of soils; soil. moisture and drainage,
newly planted fruit trees, mature
trees, field crops and insects in the
soil.
While the results cannot be taken
as conclusive for all conditions, yet
they may indicate that the useful ap-
plication Of dynamite as a soil improv-
er is limited. It's usefulness may de-
pend largely upon local conditions.
No definite benefits were derived
from its use in either orchard or field
crops. What ii might do under diff
ferent conditions, or over longer pc
RODS, is yet to be determined. One
pond was drained and the other was
not. It's usefulness in shooting an open
ditch, blasting powders and blowing
stumps cannot be questioned.
It may be very useful in draining
land where no outlet can be found for
a tile drain. How permanent its eff
feet may be is not known. AS to de-
stroying insects (ants), 1t has not
proved to be of any use. It is proba-
bly, safe to conclude that the applica-
ton Of dynamite as a soil improver is
greatly limited and that it would al
ways be advisable to try it out in
small way before investing much
money in its use"

In planning the home garden, 1t is

This facilitates the preparation of the

the vegetables may be so arranged, it
is necessary to know the proper time

MAKES AN ARTIFICIAL SILK
Recent Invention by a Japanese That
10 Of Considerable Importance
to the World.

What appears to be an original
method of producing artificial silk is
due to the Japanese inventor, Kishi.
The process is based on the use Of
the commercial substance known as
chrysalis oil or essence, and the impor-
tant point is that this oil shall be re-
fined by a special method so as to
have It in the pure state. The sub
stance thus obtained is mixed with
solution of nitro-cellulose, which lat
ter comes from mulberry bark or other
parts OF this tree. and he specially rec
ommends the use of mulberry paper.
A solution OF cellulose of this origin
is obtained by dissolving in proper
solvent such as alcohol and ether. The
silk fiber is made from this liquid on
the customary process by forcing 1t
through a very fine hole. and he claims
that such an artificial silk comes the
nearest to the original in luster. and
1t has great dexibility.-Scientitic
