QUALITIES TENDING TO MAKE IDEAL FOUNDATION Many Points to foe Considered When Selecting Boar lor Head of Herd—Pay Attention to Reproductive Organs. (By 13. E. HENDERSON.) In the starting of a herd of swine, or for that matter any kind of stock, the first thing to be considered is the animals that are to be used as a foun dation, for, as a building cannot be well builded on a poor foundation, so no herd can be well founded upon a poor foundation. The writer had the point thrust up on him, and with much force, several years ago. When founding our breed ing herd we bought what would be classed as the moderate quality sort We had these for some time, but from time to time we added more desirable animals, and the progeny was left in the herd. This went on until now our herd is composed of the offspring of the bet ter type of animals we bought, those of our first purchase being discarded entirely. There were years of patient, careful work thrown away, all be cause of a poor foundation. Next to the foundation the most im portant thing is the kind of boar we use. It is impossible to maintain a good herd of swine unless we use boars of superior merit. The old story that the boar is half the herd is only half true, for if he is a poor animal he is the whole herd—that is, he will ruin its quality in a single cross. It is much better to have a poor herd of sows and select good boars Fine Specimen of Berkshire Boar. than to have a good herd of sows an*! use inferior boars, for in the first case the herd will become better with each succeeding cross, while in the other the herd will become worse and worse. The first thing of all is to pay par ticular attention to the reproductive organs, for without these properly placed the boar is of little use. The testicles should be of good size, even in size, and evenly placed. The next important thing is the reet. and legs. An animals that has bad legs, crooked or badly down at the pastern should be rejected, be rause he is apt to transmit this ten dency to his offspring and of what use is a board if bis offspring cannot carry their own weight? i Perhaps this is a novel doctrine.

C. VAI-ENTINE.) Poultry meats in the dried form are j made from hotel scraps, broken-down j animals, slaughter-house refuse, fer- j lilizer tankage, etc. In every case, i nearly, there is chance that the ma- i teriala become tainted before cooking, I with a resulting high flavor if no j worse. In addition to this it is the case that various brands differ so much in quality that it is necessary to be familiar with the brand or to have accurate information respecting it or one cannot feed it intelligently. One popular brand claims a guar aneed analysis of 40 per cent, l Kel jt samples of another which did not guar antee an analysis to our experiment station and it was reported to carry 60 per cent, of protein. The brands differ widely in fat content also. There ! is one brand of dry poultry meat on the market which is supposed to be composed of liver only. One would ex pect it to bo highly protein. I do not think that thi» ic claimed for it, how- but of what use Is a superb form and quality in a sire if his offspring cannot develop enough bone to carry them to market? Size Is something that, until lately, has been somewhat neglected. The size demanded by the best breeders is just the size that, when mated with his sows, will make the pigs that will make the greatest growth in the least time, and that at the least possible expense of feed. The actual size will depend upon the -feed, size of the mother, etc. .However, I think that from 600 to 800 pounds at maturity is not far wrong. The next consideration Is what is believed by many to be the very most important. This Is the bodily confor mation. If the hog is to live at all it must have a good, strong set of vital organs—by these I mean heart and lungs. The surest indication of these is a deep body well-set, broad chest and a broad heart girth. In other words a deep chest and a set of well sprung libs. The nose, too, should be broad and the nostrils full, giving large openings for breathing. The head should be broad, indicat ing a good feeding capacity; the eye bright, indicating a wide awake nature and the ear should be carried well from the head, and should be of good quality. A heavy ear indicates a slug gish disposition. The hog must have, above all else, a good digestion and assimilative tract, therefore, he must have a large and broad back, a full underline and a flank to give room to the organs and a strong, well-arched back to carry them. The kidneys should be strong and active; therefore, we want a strong and wide boar. The boar should have a long, broad rump, well carried out to the tail, and a heavy ham to help maintain sym metry and balance the weight in the middle of the body in front of the rear legs. The hog is to be considered soisly as a pork-producing machine, there fore, what he wants is a good, power house—the lungs and heart, a good grinder, with a large capacity, the mouth wider, the mouth, the greater its capacity. lof tongue. This is a holdback to pre- I vent wagons from jamming together. I C is a log chain. Bring it around coup ling pole just in front of rear axle at D and around wagon hammer B. The end of wagon tongue at A should be about half way from the bed to the ground. If too close to bed it is likely | to be broken by hind wheels dropping iato a deep rut and if too far away is ■ likely to be broken by running against i obstructions. lever. Theoretically it ought to fur nish the very best of poultry meat, | liul it is very hard to distinguish from : dirt when ground and this is true ol j some other brands as to '.he finer por j lions. Often, too, there Is wool or hail ! m lxed with the meat, and this must j be detrimental. i Poultry keepers are rather keen foi i hazlets, which are never in large sup ! |»ly in our locality. ; n these they gel J livei, with other meat and some waste. The largest poultry farm I ever visited I us3d hazlets, boiling them and mixing i the mash with the hot liquid in whieb | they were boiled. The Australian con .test people used boiled liver twice a | week and no other meat. 1 his is not heavy feeding, appar | ectly, yet they got results so good that 35 out of 600 were lost "from exces sive laying, and if I understand the language of the report the heat deaths also had this trouble as a basis. One may get deodorized blood meat and avoid the fat, bone and strong odor objections to the ordinary meal, but this is so very concentrated that many think it unwise to use it. Famous Boar Dead.

It irritated me so that I began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would hav& to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. 1 simply cannot describe my suffer ing during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescrib able on paper and one has to expe rience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and rem edies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. Theywduld dry up for a little while and flll-me with hope only to break out again Just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuti cura Remedies a trial. After talcing the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, fend after taking a dozen bottles of Cntl cura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment, the trouble had entirely disap peared and my leg was'as fine as |the day I was born. Now after a laps 6 of six months with no signs of a recur rence I feel perfectly safe in extend ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me.
