The lard or fat type of hog Is the
most common market type in the Unit.

compact, thick-bodied hog on rather

ton In the fat hog is important from
the market standpoint 1t is desired
to have q thick, even covering of fat
over the entire carcass, free from wrin-
kles or tires. Market demands vary,
but a pig of ITS to 300 pounds usually
will command ready sale at the best
prices. ,
The bacon type of hog is less com
mon In the United States, but is
grown almost exclusively in other
countries, especially Denmark. The
bacon-type pig Is less compact and
carries less fat than the fat-type pig
He Is characterized by greater length
and depth, relatively, and with longer
head and lighter ham, shoulder, and
jowl. The side is the main point
emphasized in the bacon pig, and the
shoulder and ham should be light and
level with the side. Depth of body
with moderate width is sought, and a
smooth carcass with firm flesh is de-
sired. The head is longer and the pig
stands on longer legs than the lard
type pig. The bacon pig should not
be made up of fat, but rather of firm
flesh.

HESITATION KEEPS ONE BACK
Much in the Success of Modern
Business Man.

"Once decided, you ought not to
waste time. If a man decides rightly,
then he has a running start on rivals
who hesitate. If he decides wrongly,
then he has discovered his blunder,
backed up, and is ready to start on
even terms with the hesitating rival,
for a man of decision can decide he is
right. Also, in greater number of
cases, the man who decides quickly
may fail to decide the best way and
still carry it through to success, and
even convince others he was right all
the time. This has happened to me
many times in cases where there were
number of ways in which a thing
might be done.

SPOILS many LIVES
BEST" TEACHER SCHOOL EVER
HAD A FAILURE.
She Refused to See the Opportunities
Near Home and Created a Spirit
of Unrest and Discomfort
Among Pupils.

The best teacher we ever had in
our old district school had a distinct
ly bad influence in the community,
says writer in Farm Life.
Born and raised in the country, she
longed for the town with her whole
soul.
She despised the rural life.
She thought all the wisdom of the
world was printed in books and that
all the worthwhile opportunities of
life were to be found in distant cities.
She did not openly deride and mock
our parents, of course, but we kew
without being told what her feeling
was.
She was full of enthusiasm, and she
found it easy to inspire us with her
own top-lofty ambitions.
Most of the girls in the neighbor-
hood wanted to be Jenny LindS and
Florence Nightingales. All the boys
wanted to be heroes-great soldiers,
poets, judges, statesmen.
None of us, of course, wanted to be
great in his own neighborhood. Each
thought he had TO get away from home
In order to have a chance in life.
Teacher could not, in fact, see the
neighborhood.
The eyes of her soul were afflicted
with that disease which the oculists
call hypermetropia. She could only see
distant objects.
The girls in the neighborhood, feel
ing the impulse toward wider hori-
zon," drifted away to the towns and
cities.
They escaped the "deadening monot-
ony' of rural life by becoming wait
resses in hotels and workers in fac
tories.
Some Jared a little better and some
great deal worse-but none of them
Became Jenny Lind or d Florence
Nightingale.
The boys, too, were full of the grand
unrest. They turned their backs scorn-
fully on the old homesteads.
Each was "the architect of his own
fortune" and teacher had taught him
to believe that all the building mate
rials were to be found in distant
places.
After they had failed as architects,
many of them came humbly but gladly
back to the old district and succeeded
as farmers.
Now as never before in the world
opportunity is found on the farm, and
every school teacher should know that.
There are more statesmen of real
worth and more genuine poets coming
from the tall grass than from the tall
buildings.
The wider horizon is the privilege of
youth. but it is visible to everyone who
lifts his head at home, while it is too
often Obscured by clouds of smoke to
the sojOurner in the cities.
Do not let teacher fill the minds of
your children full of cheap romance
while she ignores all the beauty and
dignity that should make rural life so
satisfying.

Romance of Poverty.

The romance of American poverty is
that remaining in it is optional. You
may be born to poverty but you are not
born to remain there. There are thou
sands born to uncertain existence and
retain their heritage. Other thousands
born to like disadvantage change the
grade and rise above it. The chains of
environment hold hard. but they are
easily broken by an intelligent, ener-
getic will. Many of life's finest noble
men are children of hard times. But
they were fired with a fine sense Of
their own worth, and the will to realize
ideals. The fact that others have risen
gave both example and motive. The
zeal of their own blood did the rest.
And history has been proud to enroll
them among her favored sons. The
story is the romance of poverty.

TWO Famous Dreamers.

In Hebrew literature dreams went
for great deal; men were warned
of God in DREAM" the crises of
mems lives turned often upon dreams :;
and st. Paul, when relating a piece of
spiritual experience, tells his readers
he is not sure if the events he is tell
ing actually took place or whether he
dreamed them-''whether in the body
or out of the body, l cannot tell"
II the middle ages such men as
Luther were certainly at times con-
fused between real occurrences and
visions.
In the twentieth century we can
hardly imagine that men of spiritual
genius like those we have named could
hesitate between the two.
Luther, indeed, states his dreams as
facts; but then he desired to see won
ders. So. no doubt, did st. Paul.

Resentment,

Good-humored people are often infu-
enced by foolish ideas of what ought
to be done under certain circumstances.
They will even pretend to be angry
when they are really not angry at all.
But if they keep on showing a resent
ment that they do not feel they are
likely to be given reasons for becom-
ing angry. IF l didn't resent what
he did he would have tried the same
thing again." This kind of reasoning
is very fallacious. Often failure to se-
sent is a most effective method of stop
ping an annoyance and its cause. Re
senting may lead to more annoyanceS

man in the land. The first time he
was doing sentry go the officer of the

to give up his orders.
"Orders?" shouted Giles. "Give up
my orders?"
Eyes, certainly. What are you here
for?" demanded the officer, sharply.
'Oh, I'm here to walk up and down,
