The lard or fat type of hog is the
most common market type in the Unit.
ed States. In conformation he is
compact, thick-bodied hog on rather
short legs. He is Of quiet DISPOSE
ton. The butcher desires hog that
will dress well and yield the largest
percentage of high-priced cuts Of
meat. The breeder or feeder should
endeavor to supply these. but he must
have constitution and feeding capacity
to make his operation profitable. From
the breeders or farmers point OF view
prolifcacy and early maturity are
most desirable. Good quality is want
ed by both farmer and butcher and is
indicated by the fine, silky hair and
smooth, mellow skin. The head
should be broad and rather short;
neck short and joining the shoulder
without creases; jowl full but not
dabby; and the shoulder smooth, deep,
and well covered. The hog should
have a broad, long, straight, or slight
covering of fat. The loin should be
broad and strong and level with the
back. Hams should be long, deep,
thick, and well let down on the hook.
The body should be long and deep, the
ribs being well sprung and the sides
thick and side lines straight. Condi-
ton in the fat hog is important from
the market standpoint. 1t is desired
to have thick, even covering of fat
over the entire carcass, free from wrin-
kles or tires. Market demands vary,
but pig of It's to 800 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
baconstype 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
iowl. 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.
In studying, judging, or selecting
breeding stock of pure breeding, the
first thing to remember is breed type
BY breed type is meant the character
istics of the particular breed under
study. Each breed of swine has q
set standard of desirable points as to
size, conformation, form, color, and
disposition.

LAST INDIAN SLAVE DEAD
SchickuIash Pete Had Lived for Many
Years Among White People in
State of Washington.

At Hoquiam, Wash, Schickulash
Pete, believed to be the oldest man in
the Northwest and the last of the
Grays Harbor Indian slaves, has Just
died at the age Of one hundred and ten
years.
Another of the slaves, John Kettle,
died recently at the age of one hum
dred and five. and with the passing of
Pete they have all now gone to the
happy hunting grounds, the New York
Sun states.
The old Indian, better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than thirty years he had
lived in the Humptulips valley, was q
resident of Grays Harbor for rs years
sr since 1910, when he came with q
war party of Indians from the Column
bia river to attack the harbor Indians.
The invaders, large band, came
into the harbor in canoes and landed
at James Rock, about six miles west
of Hoquiam. There they camped for
the night. pulling their canoes high
up on the beach to be out of reach OF
the tide.
During the night the Indians Of the
harbor attacked the invaders and the
last big Indian battle of the Grays
Harbor district was fought there.
Most of the invaders were either
killed or captured, only a few escap-
ing. The captives were made prison
ers, and among their number were the
two Indians known after the white
men came as Humptulips Pete and
John Kettle.
Both were freed by the Governor
Stevens treaty with the Grays Harbor
Indians.

of hogs in the United States. The Pc
land-China pig is black or black and
white in color; has short, broad
head, with slightly dished face; the
ears start strong, but break and drop
about one-third of their length. The
body is thick, broad, and compact, and
deposits of fat are quite thick over
the entire carcass. The hams and
shoulders are heavy; the back is
strong and broad, and its early ma,
turing qualities are remarkably good.
The Duroc-Jersey breed originated
in the United States. 1t is the most
prolific of the lard breeds. They are
good feeders and mature early. The
Duroc type of pig is of the fat, or lard
type, and it is red in color. The ears
are slightly larger and the face longer
in some strains than in others. but the
best type has ears of moderate fine
ness and with rather short, slightly
dished face.
Chester White swine, also United

RELIABLE REMEDY
RESTORES KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp. Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. DR.. Kilmer used it for years in his
nriyate practice. 1t helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years:
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take its place.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

weight. Melt together slowly so as
not to boil.
Pour the melted stuff into a pail of
cold water. grease your hands and
spread the mass out under water so
it cools evenly enough to be tough but
not brittle. Remove from the water
and pull like taffy. If lumpy melt and
pull again. 1t ought to be fine grained
and pull without being too sticky in
the warm hand.
Make it into balls or bricks and put
away in cool place for use. 1t keeps
long time and is good for grating

The wax is tougher if more beeswax
is used or softer if larger proportion
of tallow is used.

PREPARE GROUND FOR TREES
Blasting or Dynamiting Process Is Pre-
scented as Best Method of Loosen
ing Up Surface.

In some localities there is being
considerable attention given to the
preparation of the ground for tree
planting in way of loosening up the
soil to depth that will insure plenty
of moisture for the roots so as to
carry the tree safely through the first
season, even if considerable of drought
prevails.
The blasting or dynamiting process
is presented as the easiest, cheapest
and best method of loosening up the
surface for proper planting and for
conserving moisture for tree growth.

eWN HE United States is entering up
on an era of vastly improved liv-
ing conditions, both physical and
moral, due almost entirely to the
efforts of women workers in the Ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, according to Allen w. Clark,
chairman of the national campaign
bureau, in st. Louis.
1t is estimated that during 1915
more than million women took part
in the campaign for civic progress and
human uplift which frightened the
lives and homes of millions from Ban
gor, Me-, to San Diego, Cal. THE
growth and development of the ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, has been in leaps and bounds
since its Inauguration" he said.
Individual women, women's clubs
and women's organizations of all kinds
for civic and moral improvement have
joined forces in this great work which
reaches into practically every phase
of life. Letters have poured in by
the thousand at the bureau headquar-
tiers from women inquiring how to
start the work in their communities
Many of these indicated that the old
fashioned "parlor" variety of woman
civic worker was dying sure and
natural death, and that serious-minded
women were coming to realize more
and more every day the big work that
is before them.
Women Led the Way.
Il don't believe we realized the far
reaching extent of the work we had
undertaken until the women showed
u.s." said Mr.. Clark. 1.-THE permanent
features of the "Clean Up. and Paint
Up" idea were what seemed to gain
their immediate Endorsement. Their
old idea of a spring housekeeping,
which | believe, originated in New
England, seems to have been dropped
entirely, and the women's organiza'
tons of the New England states are
among the very hardest workers for
an all-year-round policy"
1t would be an impossible task to
name in person even a small percen
tage of the women who have done &C
tive and efficient work since the ma
tional bureau inaugurated its system
in the spring of 1913. Some few Of
them, however, are such women as
Mrs. Clarence Baxter of Kirksville
Mo-, vice chairman of the civics de
partment of the National Federation
of Women's clubs; Mrs. E. T. Sen
seney, chairman of the pure food com
mittee of the Consumers league of st
Louis; Mrs. w. R. Chivvis, presiden
of the Missouri Federation of Won
ems clubs; Mrs. Philip N. Moore o
st. Louis, past president of the Ma
tional Federation of Women's clubs
and Mrs. Thomas Sherwin, chairman
of the department of streets and al
leys of the Women's Municipal leagu,
of Boston.

doing away with breeding places OF
mosquitoes, flies or disease germs, the
planting and trimming of trees and
hedges, planting of flowers. and the
liberal use of paint on everything
that needs it.
In many instances last year the
planning and experimenting of the
work has put entirely in the hands
of some efficient women's organization
in the city or town. The files at the
national Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign headquarters in st. Louis
are full of records of just such cases.
Assistance in starting a campaign
in any community in the United States
will be given free of charge by the ma
tional bureau, Mr.. Clark explained,
upon receipt of a request from any
woman or women's organization. Aid
can also be secured from Mrs. Clar-
ence Baxter, chairman of the Wom-
ems committee of the national bureau,
or from any of the other civic leaders
constituting the bureaus advisory
committee
Be PerpetuaIIy at II.
Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Senseney are
helping women's clubs everywhere to
accomplish in their towns what was
accomplished in st. Louis last year.
The women's clubs conducted the en-
tire campaign in St. Louis, Boston
and many smaller cities last year and
in thousands of other places they are
aiding the men effectively. The open
ing weeksS in many places will be
only the beginning of perpetual "Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaigns. They
will be of immense value" wrote Mrs.
Baxter recently, Gin arousing civic
consciousness In practical sanitation
and conservation and in actual bust
ness activity in the community. Many
people spend hundreds of dollars fur
nishing their homes and only an occa-
sional caller gets to admire them. A
much smaller amount spent on coat
of paint for the exterior, a general
cleaning up of the premises and a few
flowers would give pleasure to thou
sands of passers-by and their friends
as we'll"
Both Of these women are in daily
correspondence with leading club
women, in several thousand women's
clubs, in the effort to make the local
"Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigns
the foundation upon which to build
and conduct various other community
betterment activities in which serious
minded club women everywhere are
so interested.
Newspapers Give Help.
Editors of newspapers from coast
to coast have taken up this work Of
the women and are aiding them IL
both the news and editorial columns
and most of them are unanimous in
declaring that the chief value of the
work is that it aims at permanent re
form and continued effort.
Ministers are also aiding the womeI
in their work BY preaching appro
pirate sermons on civic cleanliness;
and kindred topics. The wife of ont
earnest, hard working clergyman in {
southern town, in which the campaign
was in progress, wrote in letter t.
the national bureau that if more PEG
pie were as sincere in their religion
as they are in this "Clean Up anC
Paint Up" movement the world would
be a much better place in which t.

The Hampshire is sometimes

with a white belt about the body, but
there are some plain black animals.
