the latest British action should be
met with drastic reciprocal measures.
Shipping men regarded the new ban
as British lever to pry loose all
British-bound cargo for transporta-
tion in British-owned ships. II has
been known for days that British
buyers have been coming to the
United States in flocks.
They have been buying commodi-
ties in which England already had
an import embargo, as well as arti-
cles contained in the list made pub

sought to sell direct to English
wholesalers without dealing through
agents on this side have been very

Moorish and Arabic Ruas.

The art Of rug weaving is said to
have been taught the Venetians by
the Arab conquerors Of Spain. Moor
ish rugs are still woven by the de-
scendants Of this race who live out
side the Spanish border. Arabic rugs
are woven in the simplest patterns,
and in straight lines and very bright
colors. The patterns often resemble
those of the log cabin quilt Of our
grandmothers. While the figures in
oriental rugs each have their own
meaning, we must not forget that ev-
cry color has its own significance as
well, which varies in different coun-
tries. just as the figures do. In an

prepared by the United States Depart

There Is no best breed of swine.
Some breeds are superior to others in
certain respects and one breed may
be better adapted than another to GER
tain local conditions. The essential
point is that after the farmer has once
decided upon the kind of hog to raise
he should stick to this decision and
develop the chosen breed to its Il ssle'N
possible standard. 1t is not feasible
for one individual to raise several diff
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
lection. In making his choice, too, the
farmer should be guided by the kind
of breeds already established in his
locality, If he selects one of these
he is not likely to make mistake.
Two Types of Swins.
There are two distinct types of
swine, namely, the lard and the bacon
types. Swine of the lard type far out
number those of the bacon type in the
United States. The lard type Is pre-
ferred by the people of this country,
consequently the majority Of feeders
produce a rapid-fattening, heavy
fleshed lard type. The bacon type is
not raised extensively in the United
States, The production of choice ba-
con is more general in those sections

Whether the supposition Is that the
consumption of corn by live stock on
farms in the United States varies
little from month to month, or that
the summer consumption Is relatively
small, the fact, as ascertained by the
bureau of crop estimates, United
States department of agriculture, Is
that during the six months from May
to October nearly three-eighths of the
years corn ration is eaten, and from
November to April five-eighths. The
warm-weather fraction will seem large
or small according to the size Of the
guess. Oats, more than corn, is the
feed FROM April to September, and the
monthly consumption of oats is more
uniform throughout the year than that
of corn. Barley, wheat and rye ap-
proach monthly uniformity in degree
less than that of oats throughout the
year and a concentration of consump-
ton in the colder months is found in
hay, silage and mill feed, as in the

Purebred Poland China Rarrows.

where the feed of the hog is more
varied and where corn is not relied
upon as the principal grain for hogs.
The principal breeds of the lard
type are the Poland China, Berkshire,
Chester White, Duroc-Jersey and
Hampshire. The lard type of hog is
low set and compact, with a very
wide and deep body. The shoulders
should be full although not coarse,
with full hind quarters and hams car
ried out straight to the tail and thick
ly fieshed down to the hook. The flesh
should be thick and evenly distributed
throughout the body.
The size and weight are largely de-
termined by market conditions. At
present pigs weighing from 175 to 25O
pounds ordinarily command the high
est prices.
Best Bacon Types.
The principal breeds of the bacon
type are the Tamworth and large
Yorkshire, both of British origin. The
bacon type is very different from the
lard type, being longer in leg and
body, with less width of back and
lighter in the shoulders and neck. The
first impression that this type conveys
is one of leanness and lankiness.
Much emphasis is laid on the develop
ment of side, because it is the side of
the hog that is used for the produc-
ton of bacon. On the other hand,
large, heavy hams are not desirable on
bacon hog.

cut up by deep canons or where noun
tain ridges obstruct the view, or in q
flat country that affords no good
points of vantage, are often unable to
pick up fires quickly by the rising
smoke, or to locate them accurately.
For precise location the system in use
depends on triangulation through re-
ports telephoned from separate obser-
walton points. Airplanes, however, can
use wireless, or even the new wireless
telephone, and they can locate fires by
coordinates in the same way that gun
fire in war is directed to particular
spot.
Experiments made in bombing fires
to put them out show the possibilities
in this direction. Bombs charged with
suitable chemicals for extingiushing
fires have been used with good results.
At present the only observation bal
loon used in connection with forest
fire patrolling is the one maintained at
the Arcadia field, near Los Angeles.
| This balloon is sent aloft to height
of about 5000 feet and remains there
| from Z a. m. until p. m. In case of fire
report from the balloon observer is
telephoned to the army balloon school
and transmitted to the forest service
at Los Angeles. Another plan to be
tested later in the summer is trans
porting fire fighters by dirigibles from
which ladders can be lowered to the
ground.
Outlaw Cotton Fields.
| The airplane to spy out hidden cot
ton fields has proved successful. 1t is
the result of an experiment carried out
by the federal horticultural board of
the department of agriculture. In
southern Texas, where the devastat-
ing pink bollworm of cotton has been
trying to invade the United States
from Mexico, there are cotton-free
zones, declared by law as barriers
against the progress Of the worm. But
a few misguided farmers feel that
their rights have been infringed and
have developed tendency to become
outlaw cotton planters. Much Of the
country is heavily. timbered, roads are
neither plentiful nor good in many pla.
ces, and it has been possible for an
outlaw planter to tuck away few
acres of cotton in some nook Of the
woods beyond probability Of discovery
by ordinary means, though the depart
ment Of agriculture has been making
diligent efforts to spot every stalk OF
cotton in the quarantined areas.
Last year when workers of the fed
eral horticultural board were on the
ground, they tried out the airplane for
scouting work. In this way Inspector
Hensley of the board discovered sew.

zone by aerial patrol was officially in
augurated and has been in regular pro-
cess ever since. Two flights were made
later in January for the purpose of OBJ
tanning panoramic view of the terri
tory bordering the quarantine lines, to
note the character and extent of any
forests or wooded. areas which might
act as natural barrier to the spread
OF the pink bollworm by flight of the
moth, as well as to secure some idea
of the value of aerial observations in
connection with chronological scout
ing and mapping.
These flights were made at an alti-
tude of from 1900 to 1000 feet. At
this elevation on a clear day a dis
tinct vision could be had of the coun-
try over a range of 80 miles, and cul-
tivated fields, buildings, shell roads,
railway lines, creeks, and the charac-
ter of wooded areas, whether pine or
deciduous, could be easily distinguish
ed. At the normal speed of the air
plane-:75 miles an hour-the ground
moves so slowly that the observer has
time to get complete picture of the
area and easily to distinguish cotton
from corn fields.
Inspector Hensley is enthusiastic in
the belief that the airplane will ire
mendously facilitate all such scouting
and reconnaissance work, including
mapping.
Similar use can be made of it in 9TH
er agricultural and forestry surveys,
which are analogous to the mapping
and survey use made of it for war pur-
poses.
The tests made last year, followed
by the more important and systematic
utilization of this new means Of sur
vey and inspection carried out this
year, marks probably the first use of
the airplane in a practical way in ag-
riculture, and may be the starting of
an important use of this new means of
transportation and observation for
scouting and inspection purposes in
other fields Of research or control
work.
