Both typesidrelfpund to a great er or les".extent liiin4st parts of thi country and are- the oiitcome of loca conditions rather thafijiuP'ket require ments. The lard- type prevails in sec tions where corn is used as the prin cipal feed, and the bacon typo is gen erally found on farms where the hogi require a variety of feeds. The lard type of hogs is one whici has o compact, thick, deep, smooth body and is capable of fattening rap idly and maturing early. The hams back, .and shoulders are the most val uable parts and should be develope< to the greatest possible extent. The whole body of the animal should b< covered with a thick layer of flesh rep resenting the extreme development of meat production. This type of hog, un der good conditions, should weigh 20( pounds or more when seven to nine months of age. This is the most pop ular market weight. Due to the facts that corn is the most abundant hop feed and lard hogs mature very early this type predominates. The most popular breeds of the lart type are the Berkshire, the Poland Ohina, the Duroc-Jersey, the Chestei White, and the Hampshire. The Berkshire had its origin in Eng. land and takes its name from a shirt or county by that name. The color is black with white markings in the face on the feet, and on the tip of the tail The face is moderately dished and the shout is of medium length. The ears are usually erect, though they may in cline forward in aged animals. The Poland-China originated in But, ier and Warren counties, Ohio. The breed takes its name from the tw< breeds from the crossing of which il la supposed to have resulted, namely a Poland breed and a Chinese breed The color is black with white on feet face, and tail. The face is nearly straight and the jowl is full and heavy The Duroc-Jersey had its origin it the blending of two red breeds, the Jersey Reds of New Jersey and th Durocs of New Yerk, The color I: cherry or yellowish red. The face i: slightly dished, the snout is of mediun length, and the ear is drooped. The original Chester White had it oigin in Chester county, Pa., hen:. the name. There are two other strain: knlown as the Improved Chester White or Todd's Improved Chester White, an< the Ohio Improved Chester White, com monly known as the OIC strain. 'h color is white. The face is straight; tihe snout is usually longer thain that of the P'old-China. The ear is dIrooped In general confornmatIion t he Chestem White and Poland-China are very muchi alike. The Hmnpshire breed wans formierly known by thme name of Thin Rind. The breed seems to have had1( its origin in Himampshmire, England. The color is blamck wvith a white belt 4 to 12 inches A Bacon-Type Hog of Tamworth Breed. wide encircling the bodly aind Includ ing the forelegs. The face is straight and thei ear inclines forward b~ut dloes not droop. The bacon type di1ffnrR from the lard type in that the animals are more ac live, have longer and coarser bones, and do not carry as much fat as the latter. Their bodies are longer than thosc of the lard hogs. The hanms and shmouhiers aemi light but the bodies are deep and wide. The most popular amarket weight ranges from 175 to 200 poundis. The most commoni breeds of this type are the Tamworth and the York shire. The Tamwortht is of z~nglish origin and takes its name from Tamworth in Staffordshire.

QNS FO OAI Y CATTLE orn ,t voi Should orm One of Main Sources of ' Noughage for Pows and Yourg Stock. P(rel tred by the Unite& States Depart -- ment of Agriculture.) While' corn stover and straw from the varous cereals are not adapted k for plrducing the largest fbw of milk, they may be fed to dairy tattle. The amount to uase of these materials will i depend, of course, upon the apply at hand on the farm. When an abidilance of corn stover is available it should form. one of the main sources of dry roughage for dry cows, youug stock, and cows in milk. To use stover eco nomically it should be cut or shredded, for then it will be caten more com pletely andl there will lby less waste. Corn stover may bq fed to milking cows without' limit, then they receive in addition grain, silage, and some leguninous hay. Under these condi tions the ordinary cow will eat a large part of from 6 to 8 pounds of stover daily. For dry cows and young stock the proportion can be greatly in creesecd, care being taken to be sure that there Is plenty of protein in the ration. In certain instances corn stov er has been cut and put into the silo with the addition of plenty of water, and the resulting silage is of fair qual ity. If a silo is available, empty or partly so, corn fodder which has been well shocked and is not severely weathered may be ensiled to advan tage. Put up in this form it is more convenient for feeding in the barn, and cows will consume more of it than If fed dry. Oat, barley, and wheat straw can form a considerable portion of the dry roughage for all classes of dairy cattle. Straw is used in much the sanle proportions as corn stover, and a sprinkling of thin molasses has been found to increase greatly the palata bility, causing the cows to consume large quantities of the straw. When feeding harley straw it is advisable to examine the mouths of the cattle oc easionally, as the beards of the bar ley when very dry and stiff sometimes cause painful irritations. Rye straw cannot he recommended for dairy cat tie, hecause of danger from ergot and on account of the very tough and Ihl) rous nature of the straw. Buckwheat straw has a very low feeding value and should he used when other rough ages are not obtainable, but in no case 1 should any straw be wasted.

ECONOMY STILL NEEDED. Over Three Times Pre-War Shipments Requidd-Situation in Wheat and Fats Proves Government's Policy Sound. With the guns in liurope silenced, we have now to consider a new world food situation. But there can be no hope that the volume of our exports can be lightened to the slightest de gree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions of people liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending upon us for the food which will keep them from starvation. With food the United States made It possible for the forces of democ racy to hold out to victory. To Insure democracy in the world, we must con tinue to live simply in order that we may supply these liberated nations of Europe with food. Hunger among a people inevitably breeds anarchy. American food must complete the work af making the world safe for democ racy. Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of food to Europe. For the prsent year, with only the European Allies to feed, we had originally pledged ourselves to s program that would have tinrensed our exports to 1'7, 4.000 tons, Now, to feed the liberated nations, we will have to export a total of not less than 20,000,000 toas-practically the limit of loading capacity at our ports. Re viewing the world food situation. we fnd that some foods will t'c obtainable in quantities sutUeteut to mteet all world needs under a regime of eco nomical consumption. On the other hand, there will be marked world shortages in some important eonmmodi ties. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With the enlarged wheat crops which American farmers have grown, and the supplies of Australia, the Ar gentine and other markets now acces sible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their normal wheat loaf, provided we continue to mill flour at a high percentage of extraction and maintain economy in eating and the avoidance of waste. In fats there will be a heavy short age -- about 8,000,000,000 pounds - in pork products, dairy products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons in rich protein feeds for dairy ani mals, there will be siflicient supplies of other feedstuffs to allow economical consumption. In the matter of beef, the world's supplies are limited to the capacity of the available refrigerating ships. The supplies of beef in Australia, the Ar gentine and the United States areo auf Scient to load these ships. There will be a shortage in the importing coun tries, but we cannot hope to expand erports materially. for the next months in view of the bottle neck in trans portation. We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption in this country if the other nations re tain their present short rations or in crease them only slightly. For the countries of Europe, however, to in crease their present rations to a- ma terial extent will necessitate our shar ing a part of our own supplies with them. Twenty Miilion Tons of Food. Of the world total, North Ameries will furnish more than 60 per cent. The United States, including the West Indies, will he called upon to furnish. 20,000,000 tons et food of al. kinds as compared with our pro-war exports of aboujt 6,000,000 tons. While we will be able to- change our pr'ogram- in many respects, even a casual survey of the world sulplies In comparison to worid demnands shows conclusively that Europe will know famine unless the Ameriean people bring their home consumption down to the barest minimum that wvill main tain health and strength. There are conditions of famine in Europe that will be beyond our power to remedy, There are 40,000,000 peo Dle in North Russia whom there is small chance of reaching with food this witer, Their transportation is demoralisedl in complete anarchy, and shortly many of their ports will be trosen, oven If internal transport could be realised, To Preserve Civiliration.

ROAD TO SUCCESS LIES THROUGH ADVERTISING Bradstreet's says that - "84 er cent of all failures are among non advertisers !" "Which, considering the sonrce of the declaration, is pretty con clusive proof that advertising pays. When Bradstreet's says that only 16 per cent of business failures are among advertisers the statement has real significance.I No business firm ever became truly great except by the aid of ad vertisin g!
