Fish Food. — Gold Fish in aquariums 

 should be regularly fed every day. 

 They will soon become tame, eat the 

 food from the hand, and look for it at the 

 usual hour. This food is put up in a neat 

 package containing enough of the food 

 to last a long time. Price per package, 

 10c; by mail, 5c. extra. Gold Fish Grass 

 or Sea Weeds, 40c. per dozen, very es- 

 sential for an aquarium. By mail, 5c. 

 extra.

The Tamworth or Bacon Hogs. 



The Tamworth Hog is the largest 

 breed known and is the most prolific: 



color, a cherry red or dark chestnut; 

 very uniform in shade without any black 

 spots. In form they have a long trim 

 body smoothly covered with firm flesh; 

 head slim; snout fine and not unduly 

 long; ear appropriate for size of head, 

 which is held erect; shoulders broad and 

 deep; back long and strong with gradual 

 rising arch from shoulder to loin; the 

 hind quarter lacks the width character- 

 istic of the lard hog; the length of ham 

 is peculiar. Price, per pair, 8 weeks old 

 Pigs, $35.00; Boar, $22.00; Sow, $17.00. 



The Poland China. 



This is a black hog with white mark- 

 ings; face, feet and tip of tail, and a few 

 small spots not objectionable. They 

 grow large and are easily fattened. Sows 

 make good mothers, but are not as pro- 

 lific as the Tamworth or bacon breed. 

 Price, per pair, 8 weeks old pigs, $20.00; 

 Boar, $15.00; Sow, $12.00. 



Ohio Chester White Hogs.— The hogs 

 dressed, when 8 to 9 months old, will net 

 175 to 250 pounds. When fully matured 

 will weigh from 600 to 800 pounds. Very 

 popular breeds. The sows are prolific. 

 Thorough breeds of the above, 6 to 8 

 weeks old, $20.00 a pair. Graded Chester 

 White, 6 to 8 weeks old, $15.00 a pair. 

 Crossed Chester White and Poland China, 

 SI 0.00 a pair. 



Duroc Jersey Red Hogs. — The Duroc 

 Jersey is a red-haired hog, otherwise 

 they resemble the Poland China. Well- 

 matured shoats weigh 250 to 340 

 pounds; when 9 to 12 months old, four to 

 seven hundred pounds at maturity. They 

 are quiet hogs, excellent feeders, stand 

 forcing well and never sun scalled. 

 Their bones are large and sows are very 

 prolific. 6 to 8 weeks old, $20.00 per 

 pair. 



"ANTIKOL." 



Antikol is especially designed to pre- 

 vent and cure Hog Cholera. It cannot be 

 of benefit except in cases where a disease 

 is due to germs introduced into the in- 

 testinal tract. It is fatal to the hog
