ers are using pure bred boars to cross

sex boars stamp nn individuality on
their pigs that tells the experienced
hog man at a glance where they come
from.
Yorkshire boars get over 70 per cent
white pigs, which speaks well for their
1 breeding propensities. The Yorkshires
and the Essex nre said by all who have
tried them to make great breeders and
good mothers. They are meritorious
without doubt and find a fair market,
writes a Nebraska correspondent to
Country Gentleman, in which the ac
companying cut also occurs.
Light Hogs Leave the Pedestal.
Hog market antics have been amaz
iug recently. Forecasting events twen-
ty-four hours in advance is well nigh
imnossihle Just what nnekpra menu
is hard to divine. One day they want
nothing but light hogs; the following
j session finds them clamorous for cheap
stuff, fine thing is certain light hogs
nre abmU t , tb lmvsa am
within a short time the premium w
be awarded to medium weight bar
rows, 220 to 200 pounds, barrows that
now cut but little figure in the move
meut. Light hogs have had their day
Eastern growers are cutting them loose
freely, and a big crop of spring pigs
is coming along in the west. Old corn
being scarce, new grain will be used
to force them, and cholera scares will
send them at light weight to the stock
yards by the thousand. Already the
yards have been flooded by sixty to sev
enty pound pigs that were sacrificed for
no other reason than fear of mortality.
If the big run of sows which has been
in progress for several months past
should suddenly stop, weighty hogs
would sell much higher, concludes the
Breeder's Gazette, Chicago.
Less' Quality, More Hog.
During the last few weeks we have
given considerable attention to the
study of the swine exhibited at sev
eral state fairs in the great central
west. 'Ve observed closely the kind ol
hogs that carried away the premiums,
and we also took some pains to inquire
into the type of hog which was most
keenly in demand, says Iowa Home
stead. The demand that comes from
the average farmer who is looking for
pure bred males to use on grade herds
Is for a hog that shows a little more
ruggedness, rather greater length and
with heavier bono than those that
have been winning at some of our fairs.
W'e found that men who had for sale
rather largo, growthy young stuff were
disposing of their surplus much more
rapidly than those who were offering
hogs of the finer, type. When you go
with your refinement beyond a certain
point you nre bound to Injure the pro
lific qualities of your foundation stock,
and that is why the rather larger,
coarser type Is so popular with the
farmer trade.
For Corn Feeding.
A common practice with farmers In
feeding corn to cattle Is to pick the
small ears. After feeding for some
time, especially if fed for market, the
cattle often refuse to eat. This Is
caused by feeding too large pieces,
which makes the mouth sore. By the
use of a device like the one shown In

had been forced to stay outdoors all
night In a cold rain, and It had chilled

a writer in Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
Peanuts and Pork.
Two carloads of hogs, fattened on
Spanish peanuts, were sold at Camer
on, Tex., recently. They brought (5
cents a pound, anil the feeders, Messrs.
Barmore & Atkinson, report that the
crops of nuts brought them good re
turns when marketed iu the porkers,
says Farm and Ranch.
Caustic Comment.
Concerning the horse show held at
Syracuse. N. Y.. under the auspices of
the state fair commission a Country
Gentleman writer remarks: While the
hacknev exhibits were unusually good.
the showing made in the coach classes
was little short of farcical. If the
coach classes were unsatisfactory the
draft classes were disgraceful. It
seems strange that in a state contain
ing the foremost market in the world
for heavy draft horses not a single
rercheron, Clydesdale. English Shire
or French draft horse should be en
tered in the class for stallions and
three of their get or in the class for
stallions four years old or over. Two
long "''and crooked legged blacks ap
peared in the throe-year-old stallion
class, and they constituted the only
exhibits in all the stallion classes. Jn
six heavy draft horse classes there
were but four entries, aud they were
of a very inferior quality.
Wormy Corn and Blind Staggers.
Worm dirt in corn has been shown
to produce quite serious results when
very much of it is present, according i
to G. C. Wheeler of the Kansas ex
periment station, lie says in Kansas
Farmer that quite an epidemic of bliu'l
ataggers has been traced to woruiy
eorn which had been fed to horses, and
it would not he advisable to feed corn
which is very largely affected In this
way.

New England Milk Producer.
The producer of milk and its prod
ucts in New England is closer to the
consumer than in other sections. Few
New England dairymen are located so
far away from a center as to be out of
reach of the milk car to t tie city, the
cream gatherer for some butter fac
tory or cream shipping station or the
