Live Stock and 
Heifers for a Calf Club 
The picture given below shows a car 
of heifers (.^0) purchased from the vari¬ 
ous members of Rarnesville, (>.. Cow 
Testing Association, for the Roys' and 
Girls’ Calf Club, organized by Mr. Fen¬ 
tress of Knightstown. Ind. The local 
bank at the above town finances the en¬ 
terprise. Each boy or girl selects from a 
box (containing each calf's miinber) a 
number. This is taken to the bank, where 
they find the price of calf bearing their 
number. They are then given a note, 
payable in three years, for the amount, 
the father of the hoy or girl going on the 
South simply from his ability to make 
good on the abundant forage crops they 
can raise the year round. There are 
thou.sands of Duroc herds in the Gulf and 
.Atlantic Coast States now where there 
were tens five years ago. The popular" 
breed of a few years ago is fast disap¬ 
pearing and the D^iroc's other competitors 
cannot compare wdth him in numbers 
raised. The patronage of the American 
Duroc Association from New York, Xew 
.Jersey and Xew England States has 
doubled in the jiast two years—a suffi¬ 
cient evidence that the farmers of that 
locality have found the other breeds lack- 
Carload of Heifers for Boys’ and Girls’ Calf Club 
note as security. At the end of tlie 
tliree years ea<’h is supposed to have fin¬ 
ished paying for the calf. The boy or 
girl whose cow makes the best record re¬ 
ceives a prize, .so that, in addition to the 
reward, they liave the cow and offspring 
for their efforts, besides the consciousness 
of having done something worth wliile.

Why Raise the Duroc Hog ? 
Our attention has been directed to tlic 
various letters from your corresiiondents 
regarding tin* merits of tlie .several breeds 
of swine. Wliat they write is ab.solute 
truth and cannot he denied, viz., that the 
Rerkshires have been good winners in car¬ 
load lots at the International, and that 
the Polands have been single winners 
and grand cliam pious very frequently, 
wliile' there .seems to lie an absence of 
glory from this great show as far as the 
Duroc is concerned, wlieii it comes to tlie 
placing of purple ribbons on single ani¬ 
mals or carload lots. However, Durocs 
liave been well up among the tops in car¬ 
loads and in carcass tests in this greatest 
of all shows a good many times. < )ne of 
oiir Ohio breeders won three of the five 
prizes offered one year in light carcass 
clas.s, tests of his Durocs standing uni¬ 
formly high all the way through that par¬ 
ticular show. Rut this show, or any 
other is not the final test of a hog's supe¬ 
riority. The fact that ni'ore than GO iier 
cent of the hogs tliat come to the market 
are Ilurocs. a fact established by an ac¬ 
tual count of the yards, men covering a 
period of several weeks, is more to the 
lioint. ’I'lie man wiio buys or raises tlie 
feed for tlie great majority of hogs that 
coiiK’ over the scales in the 11 principal 
markets of this country is the man whose 
testimony as to tlie best feeding liog is 
worth its weight in gold. The ''jay” car¬ 
toon referring to the fanner do<>s not in¬ 
clude the man who feeds live stock for a 
living. He has no semblance of a “.jay,” 
nor can you put anything over on him. 
He knows the test, and is the man of 
whom it was said ‘'The meat animal is 
fattened by the eye of the feeder.’’ 
Outside the great corn and liog bolt of 
this United States the Duroc has also 
taken tlie lead in the past few years. He 
has become tlie most iioiiular hog ia the 
iiig in some characteristics that the Duioc 
supplies. The hog is not primarily a 
grazing animal, but the more iiounds you 
can put on liim with forage the cheaper 
ho gets to market, and the more profit 
the grower has, whether he lives in the 
corn belt or in another part of these 
United States. Durocs have stood tlie 
test in competition with the Polands in 
tlie corn belt where corn is the great fat- 
tener. They liave made good where a 
hog is needed to come to market on iittle 
or no corn. And they are making good 
in every corner of the T’nited States 
where any kind of meat animal can he 
produced. f. s. s.WDACUii-at.

Dogs at the Stock Show 
At the International stock sliow lield 
in Chicago, more dogs of <lifferenr kinds 
came in with the herds tliis ymir than in 
any other witliin memory. In .scores of 
instances a dog in the car took the place 
of man in watcliing tlie animals, and also 
evil-minded liiunans, to make tliem keep 
tlieir distance. Tliis is the testimony of 
the iierdsmen, who are as jiarticular alioiit 
taking good care of the dog as tliey are 
of any animal in tlie lierd. so wliile it is 
now and always will he proper to <’oii- 
demn a worthless canine, they will have 
to liave credit for what they are doing 
in these times of crying need. 
The owners of herds and tlieir herds¬ 
men agree as to the value of a dog witli 
the show herd. Cars loaded witli valu¬ 
able animals liave been left sidely in 
charge of the dog, and the same kind of 
guard is loft with the herd in a sliow. 
Tiiey seem to sleep with an eye oiien ami 
strangers are not allowed to get too 
close. I’epper, a purebred coacli dog. 
lias twice followed lierds of liogs on trips 
tliat took him to every State making 
claims of stock raising. She is a young 
dog. served two masters, selling for higher 
jirices each time sold. Rloody Peti'. an 
.Airedale raised by one of the Chicago 
millionaire farmers, has rendered sncli 
good .service to an Iowa hog rai.ser that 
fancy prices liave several times been re¬ 
fused for liini. An intelligent collie fid- 
lowed a herd of Angus cattle all the way 
from the State of Washington, and was 
on duty at many other places besides 
Chicago. 
A Kentucky sheep man had six very 
pretty piqis at the show. They belong to 
the Old English sheep clog tribe and at¬ 
tracted a great deal of attention. Other 
dogs of different breeds, mostly collies, 
came with different tribes of cattle, hog.**, 
and sheep, and even fine stallions and 
the mares had a canine guard.
