HAMPSHIRE OR THIN RIND SWINE. 
Several readers have asked us to 
print a picture of the Hampshire or 
Thin Rind hogs. Accordingly, we show 
on the first page three Hampshire bar- 
rows owned by John Goodwine, Jr., of 
Illinois. This breed is not very well 
known in the East, although occasion¬ 
ally we find animals fairly well marked. 
There is some controversy as to the 
origin of the breed. The best authori- 
cattle received no corn, excepting their 
first Winter as calves, when they each 
received a quart of cornmeal every day 
and all the hay and fodder they would 
clean up well, but no straw. The pext 
two Winters they got only hay and fod¬ 
der, and during the Winter just past, up 
to April 1, when for about three weeks 
I gave them two quarts of cornmeal 
each per day. Each year from about 
May 1 to November 1 the pasture sup¬ 
plied all the feed needed. The pasture 
field consisted of about 60 acres of 
rough land, and for most of the past 
four years, beside the seven above-men¬ 
tioned cattle, this field sustained two 
horses and 10 other cattle. The hay 
used was mixed clover, Timothy and 
Red-top, and unsalable owing to a too 
liberal admixture of running briers. As 
to the expense of labor involved, I do 
not know, as no account of work was 
kept, but the care during Winter was 
undoubtedly the largest item. The hay 
ties seem to agree that this pig was 
originally a native of Hampshire, Eng- and corn crops were secured without 
land. About 1825, according to the rec- the aid of hired help, so that the pur¬ 
chase price of the cattle represents the 
only outlay of actual cash. I have not 
written to boast of my own achieve¬ 
ment, but to show that under certain 
circumstances cattle may be very profit¬ 
able, and besides they are the means of 
converting a lot of rough feed into ex¬ 
cellent and much-needed manure. Not¬ 
withstanding the financial panic the

by a merchant of New Orleans. At any carry some good steers of the beef type 
rate, the hogs thus brought to Ken- as a side line to their other farm oper- 
ords, a sea captain bought some of these 
pigs in England and took them to Mas¬ 
sachusetts, where they were known as 
the Thin Rinds. In 1835 a prosperous 
Kentucky farmer named Henry James 
saw these pigs in New England, and 
was so impressed with them that in 
company with others he bought a num¬

We infer that the term “store” 
cheese means the ordinary “Cheddar 
cheese which is sold in stores. The 
manufacture of Cheddar cheese is an 
intricate and delicate process which can¬ 
not be taught by correspondence. In 
order to learn the business one should 
work for a time under the direction of 
an expert cheesemaker. It is impos¬ 
sible to go into the details of making, 
but in a general way the process is as 
follows: Enough rennet is used to 
coagulate the milk, in not more than 30 
minutes, at a temperature' of 86 degrees 
Fahrenheit. A higher temperature, 
however, is required as the season ad¬ 
vances, and the milk becomes richer in 
fat. The curd is cut into cubes of 
uniform size, stirred until it has a 
somewhat firm, elastic character, when 
the whey is removed and the curd al¬ 
lowed to “pack.” It is then cut into 
convenient-sized pieces, and turned once 
in 20 minutes while maturing. When 
properly matured it is ground, salted 
and packed in presses. The best tem¬ 
perature for curing is not over 60 
degrees Fahrenheit.

tucky have been bred and well selected 
ever since, although the breed has gone 
out of date in New England and other 
eastern States. In 1904 the name of 
Thin Rind was changed to Hampshire, 
but both names are now used by vari¬ 
ous parties. The animals shown in the 
picture are good specimens of the 
breed and show the peculiar shape and 
belted mark of white around the body. 
The Hampshires do not rank among the 
largest hogs, but would be classed as 
medium sized. Boars sometimes weigh 
500 pounds, but are usually much small¬ 
er. Under ordinary conditions when 
full grown the sows weigh about 300 
pounds. The great value of the Hamp¬ 
shire lies in their active disposition and 
ations. One of my neighbors raises 
mules instead of steers ,and finds them 
very profitable, but as our rapidly in¬ 
creasing population cannot eat mules, the 
majority of us would better stick to the 
steers, hogs and sheep, for our 80,000,- 
000 of people must be fed and clothed. 
As sheep prices are now going down, 
owing to the present low prices for 
wool, it is a good time to stock up with 
sheep, but for my own part I think I 
shall stick to beef cattle as being better 
adapted to our farm conditions.
