"DIE-HARDS" OF HOG TRA -
"Some people objeet to what they
call propaganda in favor of the bacon
hog, and claim that they can raise the
lard -type hog more economically. In
.five years' experimental work with six
breeds, both fat and bacon type, we
have never been able to pick out any
one breed as better than others for
economy of production. As a matter
of fact, strain has more influence than'
breed upon this point.".
The statement was made by Profess
sor Wade Toole before the Western
Ontario Dairymen's Convention. He
states the case as Professor of Animal
Husbandry at the Ontario Agriculture
al College,
But there is a still weightier reason
against the objection to the bacon hog.
It is that the lard hog as a paying line ,
for farming in Canada is "at the end
of the rope," but the field for the
bacon type is only justbeing opened.
This is not a new position, but the
fact needs renewed and ever new re-
petition so that the farmers may not ! ,
be misguided. The market for a bog
that is, the farmer's product as it
leaves the farm—can only be wide
and assured when the market for the
outcome of that hog—that is, the
packer's product in the form of bacon
—is also wide and reasonably assured.
Only in the home market is there room
for the lard types and even that is e
declining because of the growing taste )
in Canada for leaner bacon, with close i
trimming to remove the fat and with:
consequent waste. Supply has already:!
r -early overtaken the permanent deli
)fhind. j u
Packers must moire and more look .• u
The chief causes of pigs of the right
type not grading "select" are;
1. Overweight—Over 210 lbs. at the
market. Fed too :long, possibly wait-
ing for a rising market;
2. Heavy feeding. just after Wean-
ing; pigs pushed on heavy fattening
feeds such as barley, buckwheat and
corn too soon after weaning;
8. Poor feeding—Pigs starved or
stunted in early life or held until old,
coarse and rough before they are up
to market weight;
4. Under finish—Pigs not finished
to the desired 114.. inches of fat down
the back, generally through lack of
feed or a mistaken idea of what the
finished bacon hog really is.
I WANT MY HOTBED READY
AHEAD OF TIME.
It is a mistake to wait until you are
actually. ready to sow seeds before
starting the hotbed. Start it up now
and have everything in readiness,
even if you don't planta make your
first planting for a week- or two yet.
The heart of the hotbed is the heat -
ng material that is put into it. This
is prepared from manure. The fresh-
er the manure the better. It may be
taken from a fermenting pile, or be
collected for several days and saved
up for the purpose. In either case,
all long straw and coarse litter should
be taken out. Manure that has burn
-
d or fire -fanged will be useless for
the purpose. •
Unless there is a considerable am-
cunt of bedding in the manure, it
hould be mixed with about a third of
is own bulk of litter or leaves, Pile,
p the whole in a neat square heap,'
nder cover, and in as warm a place;

wetting to start rapid fermentation..

- THE tMATING SEASON:

cocks, actually shunning ahem; and
roost apart. The males, however, ar
on their trail, and loudly express thei
anger or love, whichever iiy be, in
that soft strain peculiar to the cock,
expressed by the word ."gobble."
The disposition of the female is, as
a rule, more mild and gentle than th
of the male. When leading out her
brood of young to collect their food
though so large and apparently so
powerful, she affords them very little
protection against the attacks of any
rapacious animal that may approach

United States Millers Need
Our Wheat.
The Northwestern National Bank
Review, published at Minneapolis,
Minnesota, pays high tribute to the
e' quality- of Canadian hard spring
r wheat in the following quotation from
their December issue:
"Flour mills in this city are run-
ning at• one-half capacity or less, and
the output is booked .almost entirely
at for domestic trade. Canadian milts, on
the other hand, have been reporting
'• as large an export demand as they
can handle. Even at the high rate of
duty it is being found desirable to
bring wheat across the border to Min-,
neapolis for domestic use, though the
amount is not large; there was a no -I
ticeable increase during November.

You might let an old Irish motto
hung up in a conspicuous place, gree
the guests as they arrive. The letters
should be in: green on a white card
with a band of green crepe papa
pasted smoothly along the edges to
represent the frame. The motto "Gaid
Mille A Failthe" ("A thousand wel-
comes to all") will probably need to
be given verbally in English. Sham-
rocks, potatoes, pipes, Irish hats, and
pasteboard harps might be used as
decorations too. But plenty of cut-
out pigs are necessary, for this is to
be a "piggie" party.
The brogue of old Ireland—the
speech of the evening—will keep the
minds and tongues of the early guests
busy while others are arriving.. To
make true Irishmen' of the guests,

The. stone in this instance is a pyra-
mid of stones. Some of the "stones"
are pieces of taffy candy, - colored
moss -green and wrapped in bits of
paraffin paper with twisted ends.
Others are bits of pebbles or small
rocks wrapped in the same manner.'
The guests, in turn, are blindfolded
and aIlowed to kiss the Blarney
Stone. Then they are told to take a'
piece as a souvenir. Should they
draw a piece of taffy, they are hi
luck; if they have a stone, they may
be• aIlowed to try again later. Of
course, any amount of blarney is per-
n>iissible after one has kissed this
famous stone.
