DUROC-JERSEY HOGS. 
There are three great breeds of hogs, 
and in the order of their numbers they 
are Poland-Chinas, Duroc-Jerseys and 
Berkshires. The Duroc-Jersey hog is' 
rapidly becoming more popular, and de¬ 
servedly so. They have all the good 
points of the Poland-Chinas, but the 
sows have larger litters of pigs and the 
ability to save them, while the fat hogs 
when ready for market outweigh Poland- 
China hogs of the same age and finish. 
The picture, Fig. 430, is of a purebred 
Duroc-Jersey boar in breeding condition. 
1 lis good back, hams and sides are very 
noticeable, and denote an excellent in¬ 
dividual of this excellent breed. The 
Duroc-Jersey and the Poland-China 
breeds originated in Ohio, and constitute 
the corn belt type of hog. Long grown 
by breeders who selected for neatness of 
frame, a result favored by a ration, prin¬ 
cipally corn, which consisted largely of 
fat and carbohydrates, and low in content 
of protein and calcium salts, hogs of 
these two breeds are chunky, early ma¬ 
turing and producers of the best lard 
in the world. Hogs of these breeds are 
in a cool place until I have sufficient to 
churn, which is about two days. I then 
add a starter, which is fresh butter¬ 
milk from last churning, which has been 
kept in a cool place to prevent getting 
rancid. I add about one quart to five 
gallons of cream. Before churning I 
wash out the churn with scalding water, 
then rinse well with cold water. I churn 
the cream at 5G° until it is* of granular 
form about the size of wheat. I then 
draw off the buttermilk and wash it 
twice with good cold water at 56°, then 
add salt, one ounce to the pound, and put 
the butter in one-pound prints wrapped 
in parchment paper. john r. young. 
Best Creamery Milk Records. 
I send you herewith figures taken from 
my creamery statements for the months 
of May, June, July and August, these 
being the months for which the prizes 
were given. I delivered during this 
time 37,588 pounds of milk, making 
1891.4 pounds of butter. This was deliv¬ 
ered from 12 common grade Jersey 
cows which had been milked since Janu¬ 
ary and February. During the Winter 
my cows are fed corn fodder morning 
and night, with Alsike clover hay at 
noon. After they are fresh they arc fed 
from eight to 10 pounds of grain a day, 
according to the amount of milk given. 
When they are turned on pasture they

R. N.-Y. and you'll get a quick reply and

A REGISTERED DUROC-JERSEY BOAR. Fig. 430 . 
fine of bone and fatten easily at early 
ages, making possible the large run of 
175 and 200-pound hogs that were so 
much in demand during the present year. 
Though of the fine-boned, meat-built 
chunky type of hog the Duroc-Jersey is 
not so extreme as the Poland-China, be¬ 
ing somewhat larger and possessing more 
scale. Their color is a rich red or ma¬ 
hogany, and is very pleasing. The faults 
of the breed are, a tendency towards too 
large litters of undersized pigs, faulty 
backs and a tendency to sandy colors. 
The writer does not have much faith in 
the oft-repeated statement that sows of 
chunky conformation are less prolific 
and poorer mothers than sows of lankier 
type, for it would seem that it is a ques¬ 
tion of being too fat. Instead of a ques¬ 
tion of conformation, it is one of getting 
too much fattening food and not enough 
nitrogen and calcium phosphate and 
other needed calcium salts in the rations. 
A few days before the above picture was 
taken this boar had been inoculated with 
cholera serum, as several hogs on the 
same farm had died with this diseases. 
Hillsboro, O. w. e. d. 
are given no grain through the flush of 
the season, but begin again as soon as I 
see any shrinkage in the milk flow, this 
year it being July 13. For the past two 
years I have been weighing the milk 
from each cow at each milking, so it is 
easy to note any dropping off in milk. 
I also purchased a four-bottle Babcock 
milk tester <md can only say that it is 
more than surprising to see how this 
combination of scales and tester will 
prove that our cows we think to be poor 
are often the best, and the ones we think 
the best are very often not worthy of 
stable room. I try to have a piece of 
oats and peas ready to cut and feed in 
the stable when the dry weather comes, 
usually about August 1. When these are 
gone I begin cutting corn fodder and 
feed in the same way. Four of the cows 
that I now have are to be turned off this 
Fall, as their returns are not satisfactory.

The Making of Fine Butter. 
In making fine butter one must observe 
three rules, viz., first, care of cows and 
stables; second, care of milk and cream; 
third, most important of all, cleanliness 
in all things. My stables are made of 
cement, with plenty of light, cows 
groomed well before milking, and udders 
washed, then with a clean pail and clean 
hands I milk quickly and quietly. After 
milking I put the milk through a cream 
separator; when through I put the cream
