tegee jwlejtlon for uniformity;
tether pure-bred of not, the sowa!
Mild be almllar In color, marking,
type and conformation. The type of
the aows selected should be the ona
which the market demands. Whllo
there la some variation betwaan tba
different breeds, It Is largely a matter
of characteristics, as a good Individual,
90 matter what breed It represents, If
properly fed and managed will msko>
economical gains.
Conformation.
In conformation a brood sow should
Ihow first of all femininity. Thla la
well marked in the hog If a close ob-
servation Is made, and is characterized
>y quality and refinement in all parts
pf the body. The bristles are finer and.
less erect than those of the boar, glv-
pg the sow a smoother appearance.'
Che forehead Is smoother, the neck,
puch thinner, and a little longer in
proportion to the rest of the body. The
tioulders are not as heavy, although
eight months old, for the selection of ;
a wpanllng pig that will mature Into
the kind of breeding animal demanded
In any particular case ^ a very diffi-
cult and precarious undertaking. In
selecting the male, aim to correct any,
faults which may be present In the
conformation of the sows. These faults
may be discovered In the several
months between the first purchase of
the bred gilts and the time when it Is
icessary to breed again for the sec-
id litter. It Is seen here why uni-
formity Is of such importance in the
herd, for the common fault of-the sows
may be corrected in the offspring by
ithe use of a boar particularly strong
in that characteristic; but If the sows
are not uniform—if, for example, ono
Jias high quality with lack of scale,
While another has the opposite char-
acters—if will be Impossible to select
tone boar that can correct the faults
of both.
! The boar must show masculinity
(first of all. This Is characterized by
i strong head, a thick well-crested
leek, well-developed shoulders, stiff
ibristles, and a little coarser hair than
jis found in a sow of the same weight
[and "age. His visible reproductive or-
:uns should be well developed. By
10 mentis select a boar having only one
testicle, or one hnvlng two small, 111-
jdeflned ones. Constitution should be
istrongly in evidence, tor this Indicates
|the vitality necessary to get strong,
(healthy pigs. The market type Indi-
cated for the sows should be found In
•the boar, namely, a long, strong, well-
jarched back, thickly covered with flesh
—not fat; a well-rounded, plump ham;
a deep, smooth side; and a trim under-
line. He must have quality, but with
It strength of bone and scale. ▲ snail,
over-refined boar Is often lacking In
/icullnlty. Strength of bone Is shown
the development of the feet and
egs, and the manner In which the ani-
mal carries himself upon his toes. As
the hind pasterns are very prone to
become weak with age and may Inter-
fere seriously with serviceability, se-
lect a young boar, one that stands well
ap on his toes. This characteristic Is
found only In one having excellent
strength and quality of bone.

GO INTO PBOFITEEBINQ
Prompt work on the part of the fefr
eral food administration for Oklahoma
has prevented a strike ot 1,200 ameller
employees at BartleevUle.
The men were dissatisfied with
prices that have been charged at
Bartlesville atorss and ssserted that
even though they wete granted an in-
crease in wages, that merchants would
take It up in higher prices. They ss-
serted that there has been lnnumer-
sble instances of proateering in Bart-
lesville.
W. B. Alley, executive secretsry of
the Btate food administration, went to
Bartlssville and conducted an inve|A-
Ration. He placed an auditor at work
on books of stores complained against
snd if sny cas'es of profiteering ara
found refunds to the men will be or-
dered and the merchants prosecuted.
Upon this assurance the men agreed
to continue at work. . -

names to obtain more sugar than he
was allowed and Dillard Is declared to
have misrepresented the number of
persons in his family to obtain moro
sugar than he was entitled.

and told that any more infractions ot
