slble combinations. In other words, a
SOW may not produce offspring similar
in type to herself unless her ancestors
We're of the same type. By selecting
the SOwS 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-
ais 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
a single breeding unit.
At best, it is impossible to choose
sOws that will produce true to type,
for as yet no line of breeding is abso-
lutely pure, but by selecting the sOws
in this manner, the chances for uni
fOrmity are UNNECESSARILY increased.
Some mistakes are bound to be made,
and their correction will be difficult,
but by keeping records of the breeding
stock and their produce, 1t will be pos
Sible to dispose of undesirable individ-
ualS as their poor reproductive abil-
ity becomes known. One ideal must
always be uppermOSt in the breeders
mind, and the stock must constantly
approach nearer to that one ideal in
order to make any real progress. 1t is
relatively easy to produce hogs, but to
produce uniform hogs, hogs that will
build up and advance the breed, re-
Quires time and constant effort.
The Boar
The farmer who lives in a commune
~ where it is possible to obtain the
services of a good boar and who has
only few sows, will not find it prof.
liable to keep a male simply for use in
his own herd However, If he has six
or more sows, or if it is impossible to
get the use of his neighbours boar when
necessary. 1t will be well to purchase
one of his own. 1t is often desirable
to delay the purchase of the boar until
some time after the original female
stock has been selected. If the gifts
were bred at the time Of their pur-
chase, the service of a boar will not be
needed until several months later,
when it is necessary to breed for the
second lot of pigs. This is not only
saving of money at the time of start
ing the herd, when expenses are apt to
be very heavy, but it also gives the
along with their offspring and select q

In feeding hogs for the market, as
MISC with any other class of meat ami
mails, larger returns are obtained when
the stock is as nearly uniform as pos

each farmer to breed his own feeders
particular attention should be given
TO the selection Of the original breed

Importance, for to have a uniform
crop of pigs there must be uniformity
In the breeding herd, and to obtain this

IN selecting the original herd.
The Sows.
The females of the herd may be OBJ
tained by purchasing bred sOws or
gifts safely in pig to boar Of rec
5gnized worth. As it is often difficult
to obtain a SOW which has shown her
self to be good breeder by the previ-
pus filters she has produced, it is adj
Fisable for econOmy'S sake to purchase
bred gifts. These should be about
twelve months Old. being bred after
the age of eight months, and if posi-.
Bile all should be in pig to the same
boar. Here is the first opportunity to
practice selection for uniformity;
whether puro-bred or not, the sowS
should be similar in color, marking,
type and conformation. The type of
the sOws selected should be the one
which the market demands. While
there is some variation between the
different breeds, it is largely matter

The lines OF the newest skirts are
straighter and longer than those OF

are so popular Is because they give
the straight narrow lines without
making the narrowness uncomfortable
and though killing IS allowable the
plating is more often employed in fat
panels. Tunic arrangements with
narrow underskirts are promised
much popularity. The devising Of
such effects gives scope to the design

contrasting color, are liked, and soft

tunics are liked also. This tuuic and
