The question which breed of swine
to select for the economic pro
duction of pork is perhaps of less im
portance today than in the past.
The leading swine breeders have be
gun to recognize the fact that they
must shape their favorite breeds to
meet market demands. As a natural
result, the type of all the leading
breeds now conforms to a fixed stand-

ard that meets the demands of the
packing houses.
The hog that best meets the de
mand of the present time is a well:
muscled hog, that will supply a fair
amount of lard, and fat meat well
marbled with lean, and be ready for
market at any desired ago.
Practical pig growers, and feeders
of market hogs look for good quality,
depth, length and width of form, and
uniformity of type, regardless of the
breed, color and characteristic mark
ings. However, It is essential that we se
lect our breeding animals from some
well-establshed breed, for promiscu
ous mating of swine of various types
has a tendency to destroy the types
of all the breeds employed in the
crosBos and to throw away the result
of years of systematic selecting and
raiting, and perpetuate a certain fixed
pe in the breed. This point , has
ueen illustrated by mating a half Po
land China and half Chester White
sow with a pure-bred Berkshire boar.
The pigs resulting from the cross were
red, spotted, speckled and striped,
showing that the improved type of all
three used in the cross was lost, and
with it the improvements in color and
markings.
The result was the return of the off
spring by the principle of heredity to
the original scrub type.
CARING FOR AILING ANIMALS
Syringe Invented by Illinois Man for
Dosing or Inoculating Horses,
Cows and the Like.
The Scientific American, in describ
ing a syringe invented by H. 1 Cal
houn of Dow. says:
"Calhoun's invention relates to
syringes, particularly to the type used
for dosing or inoculating animals, such
as horses, cows and the like, and the
main object thereof is to provide a
Syringe for Dosing Animals.
syringe which is provided with means
for automatically discharging the con
tents, and the means for manually
controlling said discharge; means
whereby a person may manipulate a
syringe of relatively large size with
one band while being free to employ
the other for other purposes."
HOGS INFESTED WITH WORMS
Many Owners Never Suspect Anything
Wrong Until His Animals Show
Visible Signs of Sickness.
Some hog growers positively know
their hogs are not infested with
worms, although they have never giv
en them anything to prevent them.
Some think their hogs are all right in
this respect.
The downright truth is that 90 per
cent of the hogs are infested with
worms and the owner never suspects
until his hogs show signs of sickness.
It pays to be on the safe side all the
time in this regard.
Keep Pure-Bred Males.
When live stock is a factor on the
farm make every field heg-tigbt. and
sheep-tight; have thoroughly good per
manent pastures; grow leguminous
crops; build a silo; and keep only
pure-bred males. These five things
are absolutely essential in the eco
nomical production of live stock.
Function of Live Stock.
It is an important function of live
stock on the farm to furnish a market
for the crops grown, enabling farmers
to convert the grasses, forage crops,
legumes, and so on, into higher-priced
finished products and to return to the
soil the plant food taken from It.

The light struck Britherby's glasses
at such an angle that they presented
nothing but a flash ing blank to Oral
lup. Behind the glasses Britherby's
eye at the moment were resting on
the Janeway bungalow across the
street, but Grallup did not know that
and he stiffened indignantly and
passed bis new neighbor with a stu
diously averted gaze.
The next time they met neither took
the least notice of the other. Grallup
remarked to his wife that that fellow
who had bought out Korker's equity
evidently wsb a cut or two above Bib
berly Heights or thought he was.
Brltherby, a day or two later, vu
talking to Morfew, whose house is be
tween Grallup's and the former Korker
place.
"Who's your distinguished neighbor
on the north?" he asked. "The nabob
of the place, I presume. I think I
made a mistake in not asking his per
mission to butt in here, lie seems to
resent it"
"Nonsense!" said Morfew. "That's
Billy Grallup. Nothing of the nabob
about Billy. Great chap, Billy. Youll
like him when you know him.
"I don't believe I'd want to know
him," said Brltherby.
Morfew meant, to ask Grallup what
he had been doing to his face, but for
got it and so the feeling between
Brltherby and Grallup remained and
grew. In course of time they were in
troduced and acknowledged the intro
duction as coldly as politeness al
lowed. After that they bowed scru
pulously when they met
It was early last fall that the pas
sive hostility of the two men became
active to the verge of tragedy.
One Btlll, calm night, somowhere
about twelve o'clock, Grallup waa
aroused from an uneasy slumber by
the bark of a dog.
"Confound it!" exclaimed Grallup.
I wonder whose darned dog that is.
I wish I was within good shotgun
range of it and had the shotgun."
A quick successlon'of staccato barks
seemed to answer his thoughts with
defiance. Grallup got up and leaned
out of the window, listened a minute,
closed the window and said something
Improper.
"I might have known it," he contin
ued, savagely. "He's about the only
man In the suburb who would main
tain a nuisance like that."
He tried to Ignore the noise, but the
closed window had.only slightly dulled
it and it was too maddeningly irreg
ular. He bounded out of bed and into
his slippers, threw a coat over his
shoulders and, stopping only to take a
couple of croquet mallets from a closet
in the hall, hurried out of the house
and ran down the street toward Brith
erby's. The barking had stopped, but
he knew where to go.
He was almost at Morfew's when he
was aware of a ghostly white-clad fig
ure hastening toward him. The next
moment he was face to face with
Brltherby, who was In pajamas and
carrying a baseball bat.
For an Instant they glared at each
other In the moonlight. Then Hrith
erby spoke: "So you thought it was
about time to fo something, did you?"
he snarled. "I should think it was,
myself. A man who will keep a dog
like that I've got my opinion of, any
way." "What are you talking about?" de
manded Grallup. "I'm after that In
fernal dog that's been barking his
head off in your yard all night, if you
want to know. Do you mean to say it
isn't your dog?"
"I never owned a dog in my life,"
said Britherby. "I thought it was
your deg and I was going to take the
liberty of .killing him and you, too, if
you offered any objection."
"I had much the same idea," sn.ld
Grallup. "But if it isn't your dog.

Furious barking interrupted him. It
came from the rear of Morfow'8 house.
."So it's his dog!" said Britherby.
"Now, what do you think of that!"
"I think as you do," said Grallup.
grimly. "Morfew's a good man in
some respects, but this Is an outrage.
I suppose he's lying there snoring!"
"I'll tell you." said Brltherby, pois
ing his club. "It you'll stand by me
I'll batter his door down and if h,e
doesn't get up and kill the beast, we
will."
"I'll Just go you on that proposi
tion," said Grallup.
They pounded until Morfew came to
an upper window and asked them what
the dickens they wanted.
"We want you to . come down and
do something with that dog of yours,"
said Britherby.
"You've no business keeping a brute
like that around," supplemented Gral
lup severely.
"Have you two been drinking or are
you Just plain crasy?" asked Morfew.
"Routing a man out of his rest at
this time of night! That's not my
dog, you lunatics. I don't own a dog.''
He slammed down the window.
The two laughed. Then Britherby
shivered.
"You'd better come back with me,"
suggested Grallup. "I've got some
medicine that's good for that and you
can wear my overcoat home.''
"Thanks, old nan." said Britherby.
"Any other time IH be delighted, but
I guess I'll get back to bed new."
He held out his hand and Grallup
grasped it cordially.
"Good night, old chap." said Oral

UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK

Handling of live stock, especially
hogs that are ready for market, is oft

lack of unloading facilities at the local
stock yards. An Illinois farmer hae
patented the unloading chute sliowa

DRENCHING DROVE OF H3GS
Best Way Is to Drive Animals Into
Pen Where They Will Have B.t
Little Room to Move In.
The quickest and i-asiest way te
drench a drove, of hog3 is to drive
thoTu into a small pen where they will
have but little room to move nbout.
To hold the animal while drenching
it a noose of sash cord or quarter
inch rope can be placed around the
upper jaw, well back toward the
angles of tho Hps, and the medicine
thrown into the back part of the
mouth with a dose syringe. As there
is danger of a hog breaking a syringe
it is best to use a metal one. Some
times when the drench is bulky and
the hog hard to hold, It is necessary
to elevate the head and raise the fore
feet off the ground. For this purpose
a pulley and rope wire stretcher is
recommended. It should be hung la
the most convenient part of the pea
and the animal secured in the usual
way by placing a noose around the
jaw. The end of the rope is thrown
over the hook in the lower pulley and
the hog drawn up until it is almoat
off the floor. It is best to wait till
the hog hae become quiet, well under
control, before giving it the drench,
as there is some danger of the medi
cine getting into the air passages and
doing harm.
For Fattening Sheep,
Peas are strongly recommended for
fattening sheep. When red In combi
nation with either corn, barley or oats,
equal parts, better gains are made
than when elthei of the above cereals
la fed alone. This is especially true
where timothy hay or corn stover la
