Motorcycle for Huntinu.

The feat of the horseback rider
of cowboy days who could kill game
or an enemy while riding full tilt is
equaled, If not surpassed, by a nat
uralist and taxidermist who shoots
some Of his quarry while riding at
high speed on his motorcycle, accord
ing to the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. He has devised clamp to hold
his loaded shotgun above the gasoline
tank of his cycle, while a sling at
tached to the weapon passes over his
shoulder. His method is to ride swift
ly along the road and, when he sees q
desirable bird perched near the high
way, he seizes his gun and fires upon
it without slackening speed. TITS, of
course, involves skill in riding with
out louching the handlebars. BY this
spectacular method the natur alist Is
able to fell birds which would take
flight If approached by stealth.

eight months old, for the selection OF
q weanling pig that will mature into
the kind of breeding animal demanded
in any particular case IS a, very diff
cult and precarious undertaking. In
selecting the male, aim to correct any
faults which may be present in the
conformation of the Sows. These faults
may be discovered in the several
months between the first purchase of
the bred gifts and the time when it is
necessary to breed again for the sec
ond litter. It Is seen here why uni
formity is of such Importance In the
herd, for the common fault Of the sOws
may be corrected in the offspring by
the use of boar particularly strong
in that Characteristic; but if the sows
are not uniform-if, for example, one
has high quality with lack Of scale,
while another has the opposite char
acters-it will be impossible to select
one boar that can correct the faults
Of both.
The boar must show masculinity
first Of all. This is characterized by
a strong head, thick well-crested
neck, well-developed shoulders, stiff
bristles, and little coarser hair than
is found in sow Of the same weight
and age. His visible reproductive or
gans should be well developed. By
no means select a boar having only one
testicle, or one having two small, i'll
defined ones. Constitution should be
strongly in evidep"e, for this indicates
the vitality necessary to get strong,
healthy pigs. The market type indi.
Gated for the sows should be found in
the boar, namely, a long, strong, we'll
| arched back, thickly covered with flesh
mot fat; a well-rounded, plump ham;
deep, smooth side; and trim under
line. He must have quality, but with
1t strength of bone and scale. A small,
over-refned boar is often lacking In
masculinity. Strength Of bone is shown
| in the development Of the feet and
legs, and the manner In which the anil
NAL carries himself upon his toes. As
the hind pasterns are very prone TO
become weak with age and may inter

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In feeding hogs for the market, as
also with any other class Of meat ami
mails, larger returns are obtained when
the stock Is as nearly uniform as pos
sible, and as 1t is very profitable for
each farmer to breed his own feeders,
particular attention should be given
to the selection Of the original breed
ing stock. Uniformity lis Of primary
Importance, for to have a uniform
crop of pigs there must be uniformity
in the breeding herd, and to obtain this
must be one Of the first considerations
In selecting the original herd.
The sows.
The females Of the herd may be OBJ
tanned by purchasing bred sows or
gifts safely in pig to boar Of rec
ognized worth. As it is often difficult
to obtain a sow which has shown her
self to be good breeder by the previ-
Gus filters she has produced, it is ad-
visable 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 pure-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
Of characteristics, as good Individual,
no matter what breed it represents, if
properly fed and managed will make
economical gains. ,.
.. Conformation.
In conformation brood sow should
show first Of all femininity. This is
well marked In the hog If close OBJ
servation Is made, and Is characterized
by quality and refinement in all parts
Of the body. The bristles are finer and
less erect than those Of the boar, CIV
ing the SOW a smoother appearance.
The forehead Is smoother, the neck
much thinner, and a little longer in
proportion to the rest Of the body. THE
shoulders are not as heavy, although

sible combinations In Other words. q
SOW may not produce offspring similar
In type to herself, unless her ancestors
were 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
err 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
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 viii, 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. It 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 communi.
ty where it is possible to obtain the
services Of a good boar, and who has
only a few sows, will not find it prof.
table to keep 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, it will be well to purchase
one Of his own. It 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 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 stact.
ing the herd, when expenses are apt to
be very heavy, but It also gives the
breeder time to study the original sows
along with their offspring and select
boar that will correct their faults.
There Is a hackneyed but neverthe-
less true expression that the male is
half the herd" He really does repre-
sent 30 per cent Of the breeding stock,
and therefore is the most important
individual in the whole herd, but
granting that he forms half, the sows
most certainly constitute the other
half, even though their influence is di.
vided into several parts. Certainly
both halves are equally important and
neither can we'll be neglected at the
expense of the other.
It is well to select boar at least
