Pigs ofiered from this family are the result of years of careful breeding and selection. They are from the same foundation as the Julia family. body. depth of side, and strong, hard flinty bone; they are large without undue coarseness. Upon difierent occasions representatives of this family have obtained premiums over all breeds in dressed carcass competi- tions. The remarkable and trueness to type have been brought about by the most careful selection of the best boars and sows used in the Oak Lodge Herd. They have been carefully bred for many generations along the lines of the ideal bacon standard. The Holywell Challenge Cup was ofiered by Sanders Spencer to be com- peted {or at Toronto. It was first ofl’ered in 1891 when it was won by a representative of the Minnie family. This trophy was finally placed to the credit of the Oak Lodge Herd and was won by a representative of the Cinderella family in 1898. This plate was offered for the best Yorkshire pig at the Exhibition. male or female, and required to be won twice by one exhibitor before becoming his pro- perty. Canada. Alarge percentage of the honors brought to the Oak Lodge Herd has been won by Cinderellas. They are prolific, producing very even thrifty pigs of strictly bacon character, having great length of COUNTESSES. The Countess family traces to im- portation made in 1898 from the herd of Denston Gibson. The Countess family is a branch of the Constance family. They have proved to be very successful breeders. One pig from this family sold for $200 when ten months old. PINKS. This family traces back to Oak Lodge Primroseâ€"2099â€"which made a record in the show rind, never equalled by any other Yorkshire pig shown in Canada. She won first prize for three years in succession in the class for best brood sow at the Toronto Industrial. On the sire’s side the name of Ruddington Lad appears. He was the winner of the first prize and Grand Championship at the Royal Show in 18%. This family is quite equal in point of merit to the Cinderella family, and has produced many noted prize win- ners, at the largest Canadian and American shows. The foundation of this family traces to Lady Duckering â€"415â€"imp. bred by C. E. Duckering, who was the winner of the first prize in the aged class at the Columbian Exposition. Chicago. 1893. Like the Cinderellas this family. though bred on slightly different lines. has furn- ished many prize winners. in the bacon and dressed carcass classes. Next to the Minnies or Marians this is the oldest family in the Oak Lodge herd. This family traces back to Kine- crol't Mite IIâ€"‘Nâ€"(imp) and Kine- crolt Mite IIIâ€"‘28--(imp ), which formed part of the foundation of the herd established by the \Vm. Davies (30., about 1890. These sows were selected from the herd of Sanders Spencer, and were got by Holy well Tyke. The sow Oak Lodge Mite VI, ~3096â€"made a reputation for this family by winning first prize for two years in succession in the class for aged sows at the Toronto Exhibition. ROYAL QUEENS. This family is descended from an importation made from the herd of D. R. Daybell, in 1898, and is With- out doubt one of the most noted prize winning families in England in re- cent years. Representatives of this family have won first prize at the Royal exhibition for four years in succession, both in the male and fe- male sections. They have proven a very valuable addition to the York- shire breeds in Canada. They have the power of transmitting to their oflspring, uniformity of type and excellence of the highest standard. In the case of persons or Associa- tions who wish to buy but who cannot attend the sale or send a representative. if they forward their orders with full instrurtions to Mr. A. P. Westervelt. Parliament Build- ings. Toronto. 0013., he will be re- sponsible for the prompt and honor- able execution of such orders, and for the proper shipment of animals bought under this clause. If the order cannot be filled in a manner satisfactory to Mr. Westervelt, the money sent will be refunded immed- iately. Thy tvxmre or physical condition of the Soil 39 nearly always more im- purcam than its mere richness in pL-m fuod. Ewrv faucet knows. or know , llm't a ham and lumpy A Lesson in Tillage. F. W. Honsox, Live Stock Commissioner. PRIDES. M ITES. A finely-divided, ' mellow, friable soil is more productive than a hard lumpy soil of the same chemical com- position. Why? Because it holds and retains the moisture; it holds more air; it presents greater surface to the roots; it promotes fertility; it hastens the decomposition of the mineral elements; it has less variable extremes of temperature; and it al- lows a better root-hold to the plant. In all these and other ways the mel- lowness of the soil renders the plant food more available, and afiords a congegial and comfortable place in which the plant may grow. matter how much plant food it may contain. A clay soil which has been producing crops for any number of years may he so seriously injured by one :njudicious ploughing in a wet time as to ruin it for the growing of mom for two or three years. The injury lies in the modification of its physical texture. not in the lessening of its fertility. A sandy soil may, also, be seriously impaired for the growing of any crap if the humus, or decaying organic matter, be allowed to burn out of it. It becomes leachy, it quickly loses its moisture. and it becomes excesswely hot in bright sunny weather. It is useless to apply commercial fertilizers to lands which are not in proper physical condition for the very best growth of crops. How, then, can the texture of lands be im- proved? By judicious ploughing and tillage. and mulches; by the incorpo- ration of humus; by the use of un- derdrains, windbreaks, applications of lime, salt, and adaptation of crop to soil. A number of experiments have been carried out on our own Experi- mental farms as well as at Ithaca, N. Y., and elsewhere, and the results point generally to the necessity of preserving moisture in the soil, the first step towards which is to put the soil in such a physical condition that it will be pervious to the water, that is, that it will afford a reservoir for it. Free water within eighteen inches of the surface of the soil is injurious to the gowth of cultivated plants. Capillary water, that is, water re- tained in the minute hair-like empty spaceeor tabes existing throughout -__- -A. 'r-v"_â€" _ a well-worked soil, is the direct source of their supply and should by all means be conserved. Capillary actiOn of the soil depends upon the fineness of its particles. The finer its particles the greater will be the number of capillary tubes in the soil; and finer and more numerous these capillary tubes the greater will be quantity of water retained in the soil. In coarse, loose, sandy or grav- elly soils the action will be weak. , while in fine compacted soils it will ‘ be strong. But should the capillary pores in the soil remain continuous from the moist under-soil to the sur- face. the moisture would rise to the surface, and pass ofi into the atmos- phere by evaporation, By making these pores very much larger near the surface the moisture is arrested in its upward movement, and this re- sult can be accomplished by light sur- face cultivation which produces a "soil mulch.” This mulch of loose soil answers about the same purpose as a board would in cuttieg off the direct connection of the capillary soil with the atmosiphere. As soon as the soil becomes baked or encrust- ed, the capillary connection with the atmosphere is renewed, and another tillage is required to re-establish the "soil mulch.” It should always be remembered that a large amount of water is us- cessary for a plant, because its food is in a very dilute solution, and that water is. also. used in building plant tissue. Moisture is necessary in the soil, for wthout it the action by which the roots are able to corrode the solid particles of mineral matter and set free plant food cannot take place. As the distribution of the rainfall is beyond any known control the farmer must place his dependence under ordinary conditions on the conservation of soil moisture. Surface tillage should commence early in the Spring so as to conserve moisture, for every day’s delay after the soil is in a fit. condition means the loss of tons of valuable water, As an implement with which to establish and maintain a surface “ mulch ” the harrow is valuable; frequent- harrowing of an orchard will greatly lessen the evaporation from the surface. Where cultiva- tors are used as conservers of moist- ure many fine teeth are preferable to a few coarse teeth. Ridge culture undoubtedly pro- mOtes evaporation; therefore practise level culture. except ilncases where the 3011 sufiers from an excess of free water. The roller, by compressing the soil, brings moisture to the surface. On loose sandy soils it is very useful because it compacts the particles; but avoid it. on clay, for it will prove disastrous if succeeded by heavy rains. Where possxble follow the roller with a smoothing harrow to restore the mulch. The use of underdraias renders 8n“ porous above them. and in re. moving t_he_free water. allows access of nir, which is as essential as moist- ure in crop culture. Lime has a beneficial effect on heavy clay and on light sand. and acts fave rsbly on marshy, sour lends. Lime. gypsum and salt are good con- servers of moisture. Grasses and gains do best on clay and loemy soils. lesving study end canny lands for cultivued crops. The humus of tilled lends can be kept In the past some objections have been raised by the packers re the use of forage plants and roots for pork production, but the light of recent experiments would seem to show their fears or objections groundless; in fact. the good influence of a con- siderable proportion of green feed or roots in the ration of a pig can scarce- ly be overescixnated. It has long been known that skim milk has a most beneficial influence upon the thrift of the porkers. and quality of the pork, even when the amount fed forms only a part of the ration. Green food and roots seem in a large measure to be capable of supplement. ing the now-â€"in View of the tremen- dous expansion in the Canadian bacon industry,â€"quite inadequate susply of dairy by-products. for use in pig feeding. The farmer whose condi- tions permit may go even further than to use forage plants as a supple- mentarv food. He may even make them the chief item of his pig feed if he is careful to use a good proportion of grain, (oats, pease and barley,) during the last month of the feeding period. The soil will respond in a large measure according to the treatment it receives. If neglected it will fail to yield a liberal increase; but if cul- tivated intelligently and thoroughly it will well reward the owner for his diligence. As the season is rather far advanc- ed for an exhaustive discussion of forage craps suitable for this purpose I shall confine my remarks to such as are still seasonable. up by barn manure: and by green manuring. CLOVER :â€"Probably no crop is bet- ter adapted to young pigs than clov- er, and a bit of clover stubble used for this purpose will give very good returns. So far as our experiments go, the pork so produced is of good quality. RAPE :â€"Of all the crops used here so far for pasturing pigs, rape quite easily stands first. The principal points in its favor are :â€"(1) its quick growth, (2) its wide range. as it grows well on almost any kind of land, (8) its long season, as it may be sown as late as September and still do fairly well, (4) its eVident palatability. as the pigs eat it greed- ily. and (5) its good eflect upon the' quality of the bacon, producing as it does. almost invariably a good firm carcass. Rape may be expected to be fit for pasturage from 6 t08 weeks 'from date of sowing. It should be sown in rows about 24" apart. since when so grown it gives the greatest return per acre, and is best adapted for pasturing. It should be sown fairly thickly in the rows, say. three lbs. of seed per acre. An acre may be expected to carry from 20 to 40 pigs through a season, depending on the season and the con- dition of the crop when the pigs are turned in. VETCHEszâ€"Vetches also are valu- able as foaage for swine, and may be, under exceptional conditions, sown late in the season. Especially is this true of the Hairy Vetch, which species has the peculiar quality of growing up again after having been cut, 0E or eaten down. OATS :â€"Probably no green crop will give a better return in pork than oats. They may be sown late or early in the season at the rate of 5 or 6 bushels to the acre and the pigs turned on about a month after they germinate. The fault of this crOp is that it lasts only a short time, as it does not seem to be able to recover when once eaten down. ARTICIIOKES:â€"-An0ther crop of great value for pork producthniis the artichoke. It should be sown late in the fall or very early in the spring. They will do the harvesting themselves. This isa most excellent crop for brood sows in spring and autumn. Almost all varieties oi juicy forage crops are suitable for pork produCtion, the sorts mentioned above being probably the best for Canada. rl.‘he question as to the advisability of allowing pigs to graze. or shutting in a small pen and feeding them the green crops, does not seem to have been positively settled yet, for while greater daily gains may be expected where animals are kept in close quar- ters, there is always the item of extra labor for cutting and carrying the forage. Another item of some importance to the feeder is the comparative econ- omy of winter and summer feeding of pigs. According to various ex- periments conducted here recently. pork may be produced at about $1.00 per hundred pounds, live weight. less cost in summer than in winter. This seems to be due to less cost of green feed. as well as to low temperature, which must be overcome by food or by artificial heat. J. H.
