they must not be narrow, for such a
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,
strong, wide, deeply f1eshed back;
smoothly covered shoulders; plump,
well-rounded hams; and a trim. neat
underline. A wide, well-developed pei
vic cavity will insure easy parturition,
and the udder should be evenly and
we'll developed and have at least II
teats. Her legs should be strong and
well placed, have good clean bone, and
strong, straight paSterns. 1t is not of
as great Importance to have perfect
feet and legs in SOW as in male.
but she should show no weakness at
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. A
large, raw-boned SOW. having plenty of
capacity and size, but lacking in fem
ininity and quality, is ore 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.
Selection.
If possible, the first purchase of sows
should be made from one herd for in
this manner 1t 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
gsrmplasm is continuous, extending
from individual to individual, and any
member of the chain shows in its WISH
bic conformation only few of the pos
sible combinations. In other words,
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 liz
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 viii blend together to form
a single breeding unit.
AT best, it is impossible to choose

Ballots for Both
in The
Pine Tree State :

Not many weeks ago a Maine suffrage
worker CHANGED TO have a half hour to
wait for trolley car in "A small country
town. She STEPPED into the general store
while waiting, to telephone to a nearby
town relative to a suffrage meeting.
As she hung up the receiver the at
tractive young woman behind the coun-
ter politely asked. Are you interested in
suffrage?" From this an interesting con-
versation developed. The young woman
proved 10 be a school teacher. who was
substituting In the store just for Few
days She said that her mother was an
ardent suffragist but that she and her
four sisters had given the matter very
little thought; that they really did not
care whether or not they had the ballot
Like too many they were indifferent
For the sake of any young teachers or
anyone interested in the schools, who
may. perhaps. be indifferent like these
five young women. the following facts

BIG BOOZE HAUL MADE;
 MARTIN IS ARRESTED
(From Thursdays Daily)

J. T. Martin, well known as Badly Martin. said to be a big chief among the bootleggers, was arrested by the sheriff's office yesterday at Dewey. He was found with five dozen quarts of whiskey. according to the officers.
 Cecario Fernandez, suitcase ped dlcr, was picked up at Ash Fork, with a consignment of booze and brought hcrc. A third bootlegger suspect whose name was not learned, was taken in tow at Mayer and released under $200 bond, according to word received at the sheriff's office here.
 Martins shipment was said to be a very recent one. It is said that the liquor was transported into Arizona via Parker and carried as far as Con gress Junction in an automobile, where the car broke down. The booze was then transferred to bigger boxes and sent by express to Dewey, where 1t was spotted and conhscated.
