Selection.

If possible, the first purchase of sows
should be made from one herd, for in
this manner it is easier to get uni
formity. Uniformity goes deeper than
the mere visible type or conforma-
ton; it is determined by past ancestry
and is controlled by the characteristics
contained in the germplasm. The
germplasm is continuous, extending
from individual to individual, and any
member of the chain shows in its viSi-
ble conformation only few of the pos
Sible combinations. In other words, a
SOW may not produce offspring similar
in type to herself, unless her ancestors
were of the same type. By selecting
the s0ws from one herd, it is not only
possible to choose animals similar in
visible type, but they are apt to be
similar in dormant characteristics as
well. In buying such animals the farm
er is not purchasing separate individu-
als to form so many breeding units,
but rather kindred individuals, all
parts of a single established line or
type which will blend together to form
single breeding unit.
At best, it is impossible to choose
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-12-07

chey must not be narrow, for such
condition is an indication of lack of
constitution. BY no means accept any
breeding animal that is narrow-chest-
ed, for it is a sure indication Of lack
of vitality and consequently of breed
ing ability. Ample capacity in the
middle should be provided by we'll
sprung ribs, and long, deep sides.
Many judges of hogs regard good
roOmy sows as being especially high in
fecundity, and this Characteristic is
certainly no detriment to their cOnfor-
nation, provided it is combined with
quality.
A SOW should show the type demand
ed in a market animal, namely, a
strong, wide, deeply fleshed back; ;
smoothly covered shoulders; plump,
well-rounded hams; and trim, neat
underline. A wide, Well-developed pei
vic cavity will insure easy parturition,
md the udder should be evenly and
we'll developed and have at least u
teats. Her legs should he strong and
we'll placed, have good clean bone, and
strong, straight pasterns. 1t is not of
as great Importance to have perfect
feet and legs in a SOW as in a male,
but she should show no weakness at
this point. A SOW should have scale
and size, combined with quality.
Strong, clean, hard bone, trim joints,
neat ears, fine, glossy bristles, and
freedom from folds and wrinkles in the
skin, are all indications of quality. !
large, raw-boned SOW, having plenty o.
capacity and size, but lacking in fem
ininity and quality, is one of the poor
est investments a breeder can make,
for her pigs will be slow to develop,
hard to fatten, and lacking both in
numbers and in uniformity.

GIVE RECEPTION FOR BISHOP
LOCAL WOMAN'S GUILD GIVES
PUBLIC CHANCE TO MEET
REV. BISHOP BUSCH

A large number of people gathered
at the knights Of Columbus hall Mon
day evening for the reception given
in honor of Bishop Joseph F. Busch Of
st. Cloud. The reception was under
the auspices of the Little Falls Wom-
ans Guild.
A short but nevertheless very good
program was given, consisting of
group of songs by Miss Elaine Ruth,
violin solo by William H. Bastien,
reading by Miss Marie Clark of Brain
erd, and a group Of songs by Mrs.
Charles Jensen. Misses Elivra Ruth
and Cecelia Cannon and Lawrence
; Gendron acted as accompanies.
Following this program Mrs. G.. NJ.
A. Fortier, president Of the Women 8
Guild. made few remarks and then
introduced Bishop Busch.
Bishop Busch talk was principally
in relation to the Little Falls Wom-
> ems Guild, now numbering $50 men,
bers, which organization he was in
strumental in starting. He said he ap-
preciated very much the fact that he
had the opportunity to meet such a
larg number, the most of whom were
strangers to him. He said that this
city was one of the highly socialized
.,centers in the diocese Of which he had
spiritual charge. That different needs
develop from different conditions and
the social conditions now existing in
this country call for organized social
welfare work, especially work which is
based on religious principles he stated.
These guilds, he said, were not formed
to interfere with the work of other
similao organizations now in existence,
but to parallel such work, that the or
ganization would have the aid of la
tent talent that had not been enlisted
by other organizations. He hoped that
the new organization, which mas al
ready found a great deal to do and
has already accomplished much would
bs welcome in the community.
Mesdames l.. o. Vessel, F.. G.. Ruth
and F: J. sykora were in charge Of
the reception. Light refreshments
were served at the close of the eve.
ming the younger married ladies Of
the guild assisting.
