Pig Crop Increases AS
Spring Estimates Show

The number Of pigs saved on Mary
land farms during the six months of
December 1, 1882 to June 1, 1888, was
estimated at 10000, or IL per cent
more than the 100000 saved during
the same period a year ago. The num-
ber of sows farrowing during this
period this year was about 10000,
compared with 1900 which farrowed
in these same months year ago. The
average number of pigs per litter was
somewhat smaller in 1888 than in
1882.
Breeding intentions indicated that
the number of sows to farrow this fall
may be about 1000 head, or about
four per cent more than farrowed
last fall.
The number of pigs saved for the
United States this spring was 81 1,030,-
900 head, or about three per cent more
than the 1882 spring crop Of 49,597,-
600 head. About half the increase this
year resulted from an increase in the
number of sows narrowing and the
other half to an increase in the av-
erage number of pigs saved per litter.
The numbers of sows to farrow in the
fall season of 1888 (June 1 to Decem-
Der u is estimated at 5,240,000 head
for the United States and 3,749, ,00C
head for the Corn Belt. These repre-
sent increases of 8 per cent and 19
per cent respectively over the num-
bers farrowed in the fall of 1882.

Upward Trend In Milk
Cows In State Checked

That the upward trend in the Mary
land milk cow population was checked
by June / of this year is indicated by
a survey of over 1000 farms made
during June by Richard C. Ross, agri-
cultural statistician for the Maryland
Crop Reporting Service, in cooperation
with rural postmasters and rural mail
carriers. The total number of cows
on the first of June was indicated to
be about the same as on June 1 last
year.
The survey further indicates that
the number of milk heifers which
freshened during the first six months
of 1888 was smaller than the number
which freshened during the same per-
iod in 1882 and that the number ex-
pected to freshen in the last half of
this year is also smaller than the
number which freshened during the
last half of last year. More cows
were disposed of Slaughtered, sold
for slaughter or shipped to market) in
the first half of 1888 than in the SIM
liar period of 1882, according to the
survey. The number of heifer calves
being saved for milk cows, however,
is indicated to be slightly larger than
last year.
Daily production of milk per COW
was reported to be somewhat lower
on June this year than on the same
date year ago.

down. 1t was necessary to
dynamite the heavy stone walls

ton. The principal topic dis
cussed was roads"
After electing Harry T. Hop
kins, of Queen Anne's county,
president and voting to hold
ne next regular meeting at
Snow Hill in October, the AS
ISOLATION adjourned.
They agreed to hold a special
meeting at Ocean City in Aug
ust and invite the County Com
missioners from the Western
Shore to attend for the organi-
zation of a Statewide asso-
citation.
In addition to electing Mr..
Hopkins president, they named
Walter Buck, of Cecil county,
vice-president, and J. Edward
Stevens, of Sudlersville, secre-
tary and treasurer.
A resolution was adopted be-
fore adjournment urging Coun-
ty Commissioners of both the
Eastern and Western shores
not to levy any special amounts
to take care of upkeep and con-
struction of dirt roads.
The meeting was attended by
representatives from Anne
Arundel, Hartford, Carroll,
Frederick and Washington
counties, on the Western
Shore.
Much of the discussion CEN
tered on the action of the Leg
islature in giving the State
Roads Commission authority
to expend funds on lateral
roads. The commissioners had
sought to have this delegated
to themselves, but failed in the
Legislative fight.
Several speakers criticized
the State Roads Commission.
One speaker, Cecil G. Squier, of
Cecil county, said the State
Roads Commission had at
tempted functions which
should have been delegated to
the County Commissioners.
Another speaker, Anon Bur-
ger, of Frederick county, said if
the commissioners had a State
wide organization they would
have been able to secure adop-
ton of their program in the
Legislature. He said when the
State attempted to take away
from the counties their local
self-government it was a SER
ious mistake.
Among the other speakers
were the retiring president, M.
Clifford Smith, of Salisbury; J.
A. Baker, of Dorchester coun-
ty; ex-senator J. HI. G. Legge,
of Centreville, and Jack Brom-
ley, of Anne Arundel county,.
