the one ration that is always avail
able to Danish farmers.
The tests ends when the pigs
weigh about 200 pounds. All of the
feed is carefully weighed, the car
cases scored for dressing percent
age, quality of bacon, body length,
thickness of back and belly fat.
Tests are given for texture and dis
tribution of the back fat, size of
shoulder, thickness and quality of
the loin, form and size of the ham,
fineness of skin and bone and the
amount of lean meat in comparison
with fat and bone. The results have.
been remarkable.
In 1910 it took ~ pounds of skim
milk and three pounds of barley to
produce a pound of pork. Today the
same pound of pork can be produced
on just trifle over 3.6 pounds of
skimmilk and "a pounds of barley.
Since 1926 the average length of
all carcasses in the test has in
creased ia inches. The thickness
of back fat has been cut down on
the average a quarter of an inch
and the eye of loin increased near
ly quarter of an inch. Of course,
outstanding litters have increased
much more than these averages.
Heavy Expensive Cuts
The important thing, the Danish
hogmen told me, is to produce a
carcass as economically as possible
that has heavy expensive cuts and
light inexpensive cuts.
I noticed that when I ordered
bacon in the Danish restaurants,
got slices of bacon that had about
three-fourths. lean meat. Since
got home, when I order bacon,
notice that the bacon is about three
fourths fat and one-fourth lean.
''You may think the Danish pig
look rather tapering," one Danisl
hogman told me, "and that's right
They are. For years we used to pu
up pigs in the show that had a uni
form width. But in our tests w
have found that those that tape
from front to rear have light fore
quarters and heavy hindquarter.
We get more money for the hind
quarters than we do for the fore
quarters"
''Does it pay to test your filters?
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-02-15

j asked one Danish swine breeder.
Definitely was the answer. "a
boar from tested litter sells for
$40 to $50 more. But what is more
important, our own pigs reach mar
ket weight faster and more eco
nomically. Then, too, Danish bacon
sells at a high price on the world
market. And that is very important
if the Danish hog farmer wants to
keep in business"
''But this testing program must
cost a tremendous amount of
money" I said to one of the super
intendents.
mot at ALL" he told me- Except
for the small amounts paid out by
the breed associations and the bacon
factories to the farmers themselves,
the sale of milk and bacon pays for
the entire testing program. And
what is perhaps equally important,
the program is directed by the
breeders themselves"
Egg Laying Tests. Too
Even the egg laying contests are
run on a progeny basis. That is, the
birds of each pen must be sired by
the same cockerel.
Of course, we could find flaws
with the Danish progeny testing
program. The Danes themselves
would freely admit that it would
be better if they had large numbers
from each sire. 1t would increase
the accuracy of the test. Then, too,
it would be better if all of the stock
were raised under the same condi-
tions before they go to the test.
But in spite of this, the Danish
progeny testing programs are one
of the most useful practical yard
sticks I have seen in comparing the
worth of sires owned by various
breeders and breeding centers. II
has been, and is, a real force in the
improvement of Danish livestock.
And it places the emphasis on the
production of high quality livestock
products rather than on highly fec
animals in the show ring. For the
Danes are not much interested il
blue ribbons. They are far more in
terested in producing efficient live
stock and will keep the high reputa
ton that Danish cheese, butter
bacon and eggs have in many of the
countries of the world.

Judge Harris Rules
Miner Is Entitled
To Compensation
SiIicOsis of Lungs Termed
"Disablement" for Gar
rett County Man

Associate Judge Morgan c. Har-
ris on Saturday in an opinion filed
in the circuit court here, ruled a
miner was entitled to a disability
compensation if he couldn't return
to his job in the pits because Of
contracting silicosis in them
The case between Cassell b.
Tasker, of Clarksburg, w. Va,
formerly Of VindeX, and the Davis
Coal and Coke company was argued
in court August 5.
Tasker had received November
10 an award of $1,000 compen-
sation from the Medical Board of
the State Industrial Accident Com
mission when it was then estab-
lished he could never go back to
the mines because of his lung con-
dition.
The Davis Coal and Coke COM
pany appealed this decision of the
Medical Board. Judge Harris
opinion points out that Tasker was
employed by the coal company at
Kempton between 1884 and May,
1850.
1t was not contradicted that he
was exposed to the hazard of sill
con dioxide dust and that he con-
tracted silicosis in the firms
mines, the Judge observed. In
February, 1851, the Medical Board
agreed Tasker had contracted the
ailment.
Between May, 1850 and Febru-
airy, 1851, Tasker went to Clarks-
burg and opened a service station.
At this time the board concluded
that Tasker had no disability.

miners counsel, that since he was
operating a gas station he was not
permanently and totally disabled.
Then in November, 1852, the
claimant filed a request for a re-
view of the boards findings from
the standpoint of whether Tasker
was disabled so that he could not
return to the mines.
Then in December the board,
answering the review, stated the
claimant could not return to the
mines because of his lung condi-
ton and awarded Tasker $1,000 at
the rate of $2S per week, beginning
August 4, 1850. This the coal COM
pany appealed.
Quoting the case of Cover VS.
the Davis Coal and Coke Company,
decided in the Maryland Court of
Appeals, Judge Harris pointed to
the difference in the compensation
law between accident and silicosis,
and that the definition disable
ment" would be from performing
the claimants work in the last oc-
cupation in which he was injurious
ly exposed to the hazards of the
disease.
Statute Very Explicit
Judge Harris concluded that "if
, the claimant were a lazy and in
different man, he could remain
idly at his home and probably col
lect compensation until the Grim
Reaper knocked at his door, but
being an enterprising, progressive
and determined individual, he pre-
fers to spend the sunset of his life
in the most useful manner that
his aptitudes and ability will per-
nit, even if this would jeopardize
his right to compensation. 1t is
fortunate indeed, that our silicosis
statute is so written that he will
not be penalized for his thrift, in
itiative and industry"
Judge Harris court order states
the ruling award of $1,000 to
Tasker is affirmed.
