SHIP EGGS BY PARCEL POST
Weight Of Single Dozen Of Eggs Will
Run From 2 to 8 Pounds, De-
pending on Packing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Average hens eggs will weigh about
IA pounds to the dozen, or 2 ounces
apiece. The weight of single dozen
of eggs In a carton properly packed
and wrapped for mailing will run from
to 3 pounds, depending on the nature
of the particular container. the size of
the eggs. and the packing and wrap
ping used. If the container be very
light one and the eggs small. the par
eel may fall within the 2-pOund limit,
and the postage, therefore, within the
first and second zones. or 150-mile lin
1t, would be 6 cents. Most parcels con-
tanning a dozen eggs will exceed .
pounds but will not reach 3; therefore
the postage on them will be cents
within the first and second zones. A
parcel containing dozen eggs will
add perhaps 2 cents to the postage
though sometimes only 1 cent, depend
ing on the nature of the container and
the packing and wrapping.

Birds Have Right of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by n town would see II
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently prominent citizen walk

was referred to, and il was found that

Parchmented Leather Valuable.

Parchmented leather has greater
strength while lacking the elasticity
of tanned leather and the betting of
NJ. Felice Gilardiri of Turin is designed
to combine these special qualities. The
hide being impressed deeply with n
trelliswork pattern, the compressed
portions are unaffected by tanning
agents, while the interior of the
meshes is tanned in the usual way.
The product has the required elasticity
and is claimed to be so strong TINT

a crime against good morals, and In
such degree strikes blow at the
foundation of peaceful society.
Suppose the laboring classes should
demand and undertake by force to
compel the payment of n sum for their
services which all men would agree to
be twice its value, what would hap
pen?
Immediately the cry would go up
that anarchy was in the land, and the
strong arm of the government civil
and military. would be called out to
prevent the confiscntion of the money
of the employer, and properly sO-but
why? Because labor had demanded too
much. But who is the anarchist when
the labOrer gets too little? 1t is poor

CHOOSING BEST
BREED OF HOGS

to Highest Standard.

Not Raised Extensively.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
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 highest
possible standard. II is not feasible
for one individual to raise several diff
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
fection. 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 a mistake.
Two Types Of Swine.
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 rapid-fattening, heavy
feshed 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

where the feed of the hog is more

The principal breeds of the la9d
type nre 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-
termlned by market conditions. At
present pigs weighing from 175 to 250
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 1t is the side of
the hog that Is used for the produc-
tion of bacon. On the other hand,
large. heavy hams are not desirable on
bacon hog.
