BIG INCREASE, sfm h5 Breeders of Berkshires have, for the past few years, realized that the demand for Berkshires was uot only very active but rapidly increasing in all sections of the United States. The 1895 Year Book of the American Berkshire Association^ now ready for distribution, contains many facts that will surprise the breeders of Berkshire swine who have not posted themselves concerning the numerous breeding herds recently established and the wide extension of territory east, west, north and south. The 1S95 Year Book shows that in the number of brood sows composing the herds of the breeders of Berkshire swine, that the states are entitled to precedence in the order named below The per cent, of increase in the number of brood sows in 1895, as compared with the herds reported in the 1891 Year Book of the American Berkshire Association, is given in the figures set opposite the names of the respective states : ..^•'~* Missouri increase 28 per cent .

The Berkshire Year Book is published for the purpose of furnishing information to the thousands of parties who make inquiry annually concern- ing the herds, sales and prize records of the breeders of Berkshire Swine. The Berkshire Year Book for 1895 contains a list of the names and numbers of the boars and sows sold during the past year, and the names of the purchasers as reported and shown by the transfer records in the office of the American Berkshire Association. The list of the names of the recorded boars and sows awarded first or sweepstakes prizes in 1894, at duly organized County, State or Provincial Fairs is published in said Year Book, so far as reported. The Berry prize essay on the Berkshire Hog, published in this Volume, will be read with great interest by the breeders of swine. Mr. C. Fred Bosh- art, the author of the prize essay, is entitled to the hearty thanks of the breeders of Berkshire swine for this able paper, and unprejudiced readers will fully endorse the claims made therein for the Berkshire Hog, Items of especial interest to the breeders, contributed by the most promi- nent and successful breeders of Berkshire Swine, constitute one of the leading features of the Berkshire Year Book. The paper on the Diseases of the Pig contained in this Volume reflects much credit upon Dr. Mcintosh, who has demonstrated in the paper the claims of leading veterinarians that he is an eminent authority on such matters. The Berkshire Year Book contains the best obtainable methods for curing and cooking pork products, salting, smoking hams, bacon, making sausage, etc.; also receipts for rendering lard, seasoning sausage, and the various ways of cooking and serving all kinds of pork products for the table. Attention is invited to the index published in the appendix of this volume. Berkshire Year Book. RULES OF ENTRY IN THE AMERICAN BERKSHIRE ASSOCIATION. 1.

WHY BERKSHIRES ARE PREFERRED. Prominent among the good qualities that make Berkshires the leading favorite, the following may be mentioned: FJj-st— Great muscular power and vitality, which render them less liable to accident and disease than any others. -Second— Activity, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers, hence re- turning a maximum quantity of flesh and fat for food consumed. Third— The sows are unsurpassed for prolificacy and as careful nurses and good suclvlers. Fourt/i— Their pigs are strong, active and vigorous at birth and consequently less liable to the mishaps so common to them when very young. Fi/t7i— They can be fattened for market at any age, and yet, if desirable, fed to any reasonable weight, from 600 to, in some instances, 1.000 pounds. Sixt/i— Their flesh is of the highest quality of pork, containing a larger proportion of finely marbled lean and fat than that of any other breed. Scuc7it?i— Power of the boar to transmit the valuable qualities of the breed to his pro- geny when crossed witli others. i/'i(//i Iowa State Fair lOii Illinois State Fair "J.") Total 4:>5 The successful contestant was awarded twenty-four lirst prizes, twenty- one second prizes, two third prizes and seven sweepstakes prizes. In the rings in which lirst prizes were awarded the party entitled to the Gold Medal, the number of entries averaged six, and in the rings in which second prizes were awarded, the number of entries averaged within a fraction of seven. It is generally conceded that the best imported and home-bred Berkshires exhibited in 1894 were shown at the four State Fairs named above. No higher compliment can be paid the Berkshires composing the Gold Medal herd than the announcement of the fact that in competition with the best home and foreign-bred stock at four of the leading State Fairs of 1894, the highest score was made by W. E. Spicer, Harvard, Xebraska. The committee therefore take great pleasure in awarding the Gold Meda of the American Berkshire Association to Mr. W. £. Spicer, Harvard, Nebraska^ Prolific Berkshires, 11 PROLI FIC BERKS HIRES. Freinimii of One Hundred Dollars. Offered by W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., Awarded to IVIr. Keubeu Gentry, of Danville, Ky. Mr. Spicer. in making the announcement of his liberal premium for the purpose of developing facts concerning the prolific breeding qualities of the Berkshires, speaks as follows: The iindersiirned claims for the Berkshire breed that the sows are prolific breeders and tliat early maturity and profit la feeding are marlved characteristics of the breed, while the superior excellence in the quality of the pork of a Berkshire is unquestioned. As an advocate of the claim that the lari^e breed of Berkshires meets all the demands of the breeder and feeder of swine for profit, and the wants of the most critical packer and con- sumer of pork products for incomparable quality, the foUowinfj premium is offered for the Berkshire sow whose litter of pi.?s exceeds in weight at one hundred days afler farrow that of any her competitors." That Mr. Spicer was fully advised as to the truth of his claim is clearly demonstrated in the report of the committee awarding said premium, which is as follows: To the American Berkshire Association: The undersigned, to whom was referred the entries and other papers filed by the contestants for the very liberal special premium offered by Mr. W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Nebraska, for the Berkshire sow whose litter of pigs ex- ceeds in weight at one hundred days after farrow, beg leave to report that eight breeders filed entries for said premium.

The breeders of Berkshire swine are under many obligations to Hon. George W. Berry, of Berryton. Kansas, for the very liberal premium offered for the best essay on the Berkshire. The handsome premium of Mr. Berry induced a number of well known breeders to prepare essays in competition for the prize, which was awarded to Mr. C. F. Boshart, of Lowville. N. Y. The premium essay is well worthy of the careful perusal of all interested in the Berkshire hog. The essays entered in this competition are of a very high order of merit. The awarding committee consisted of Hon. F. D. Coburn. Secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture; Prof. John A. Craig, of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, and Prof. C. F. Curtis, of the Iowa Agricul- tural College. Mr. Berry has rendered the breeders of Berkshires a great service in the very liberal premium offered for essays. FIRST PRIZE ESSAY. 1?V ('. F. nosiIART, LOWVILLE, N. Y. England from early times appears to have been blessed with numerous provincial breeds of swine. Among those of importance we find the Berk- shire, originating in Berks County, England. At what period these provincial breeds were formed and as to the character of the stock from wtiich they were derived, early history affords no information. Tradition states that swine were herded in England as far back as 863 B. C. How long previous to this period domesticated swine wers reared and herded we have no means of ascer- taining. What the forms of these ancient swine were, history does not tell us. The lapse of centuries has obliterated all traces of their primitive uncouth forms and characteristics. The breeders of Berks County, England, bred from generation to genera- tion, a type which had been selected from stock of mixed origin, and crossed with more improved breeds, until the desired qualities which they wished to perpetuate had become lixed, and a breed was thus created. The Berkshires of a century ago belonged to the larger class of swine, and were easily distin- guished by their color. The earliest writers represent them as butt', sandy or whitish brown, spotted with dark brown or black, having few bristles, and with long curly hair. This early Berkshire was coarse in bone, large in head, snout comparatively short, jowl thick, and ears heavy and drooping, and fringed with long, curly hair around their outer edge. Their backs were broad, bodies long, compact and well formed. The hams and shoulders heavy, with rather short legs, tiesh well marbled, and the broad sides produced a bacon of superior quality. History further tells us that the old, improved Berkshire was crossed with a black, or deep plum-colored Siamese boar. Other traditional historians assert that the black and white Chinese boar was cautiously used. That both crosses were judiciously used we cannot well question, and may well believe as in 16 Berkshire Year Book, both conformation and color this traditional Berkshire stock gave evidence of both crosses. From the Siamese cross the Berkshire nndonbtedly obtained its sandy or reddish brown color, a better dished face, finer head, broader back and greater length of body, with erect ears. From the Chinese cross fineness of bone and conformation, with heavy jowls was the result, together with some change of color. As to the exact time when these crosses were lirst made we have no data. In the research into Berkshire history by the late A. B Allen, he gave it as his oijinion that it must have been more than one and one-half centuries ago. The offspring of the above crosses were bred together, and by the selection of the best for subsequent breeding, there was produced the breed as we find it, fixed and permanent in all its desirable points. From our earliest knowl- edge of the breed, the color and markings have been variable until the last quarter of a century. In 1842 Prof. Low portrays the Berkshires as "uf a sandy or reddish brown color, spotted with black, their feet and legs, for nearly their whole length, white, somewhat streaked on the sides and beliind with reddish brown." Fi'om 1H50 color was bied more to one type, and coming to 1865 the general color was black, slate or plum, with white markings, while the size and shape remained the same. Breeders began to prefer the darker color, and those pigs were selected which came nearest to pure l)lack, with white on feet, face, ti]) of tail and an occasional slash of white on jowl or foi'e-arm, until the markings on the Berk- shire had become lixed and permanent. In size they have been classed among the largt^st breeds for more than one hundred years. In 1807 one was exhibited by Sir William Curtis that weighed 901 pounds. Johnston informs us that, in 1842. they weighed from 400 to 800 pounds, and some have been killed in England and the United States which dressed over 800 pounds. The Berkshire of to-day, while differing from the Berkshire of a quarter of a century ago, in color and mai'kings, has diminished none in size, but has been much improved in uniformity of color, conformation, quality and early maturity.

DISEASES OF THE PIG. The intention of this paper on the Diseases of the Pig is to give to the swine growers and farmers a concise description of the ailments which affect the pig of this country. The need of a work on the diseases of the pig which could be distributed among the farmers as a safe guide in the treatment and management of slight ailments, as well as serious illnesses, has been long felt. It con- tains all the practical experience collected for a period of twenty- five years, with all the latest remedies, and is written in a style which is easily understood, the technicalities being left out as much as possible, and is intended as a guide to the farmer. The writer is a man of great practical experience, and of scientific knowledge of all the diseases of the domestic animals, and there is no doubt bat that this work will be of inestimable value to the swine growers and farmers throughout the country. This standard work was prepared by Dr. Donald Mcintosh, graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, and Professor of Veter- inary Science, University of Illinois. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

There has not been tlie same attention paid to the treatment of the pig as there has been to that of the other domestic animals. The ditticulty in administering medicine to the pig and attending to the nursing of it is one of the drawbacks. Medicine has been usually given in the food, and when the animal is iu condition to eat and can be separated from the others this method is very convenient; but putting medicine in food where there are a number of hogs feeding together cannot be done satisfactorily. In cases where it is necessary to give medicine by the mouth the patient struggles so much that it often do's more harm than good. When medicine has to be given to ho^js it is best to give it in the food if they will eat it. If there are a number to be treated each one should have its own allowance. When it is necessary to give it by the mouth a pie^e of rubber hose should be put on to the neck of the bottle containing the medicine and tied lirmly. The hog is to be then cast and secured either by being held or by tying. Then o|)en the mouth with a piece of wood, introduce the rubber hose and pour the medicine slowly down. This is the satest and best way to administer medicine to swine. DISEASES OF THE MOUTH. ^/)i/in'.— This is a vesicular eruption of the mouth caused by the acci- dental introduction of acrid plants into it or it may depend on a constitu- tional state, the eruption being one of nature's ways to rid the system of some deleterious material which is lodged in it. Symptoms: There will be a dribbling of saliva from the month and the animal will have ditliculty in eat- ing and may let it droj) out again. On examining the mouth there will be a number of white vesicles seen on the lip and sides of the mouth or tongue. Treatment: Find the cause if possible. If it is caused by the animal getting or eating some irritating substance, dissolve half an ounce of alum in a pint of cold water and inject or pour a little of this into the mouth three times a day. Feed on soft food for a few days. If it is caused by a deranged condition of the system, dissolve from one to two ounces epson salts in half a pint of coUl water and give at one dose, and wash with the above lotion. If ulcers should be i)resent touch them with nitrate of silver. In two days after using the silver apply a little of the alum lotion to heal the sores. IhJIamation of Month and Tongue.— This is not often seen in the pig. It is sometimes caused by the animal getting medicine in too concentrated a form, such as turpentine and ammonia. I have seen a few cases in which no cause could be found. The symptoms are pain, redness, heat, and swell- 24 Berkshire Year Uook. iiig. The animal is unable to swallow and there is a constant dropping of saliva from the month. The tongue may be protruded, giving the animal a very peculiar and anxious expression. Sometimes the epithelium (lining of the tongue) peels off, leaving a raw sore. In some cases the tongue swells to such a size as to cause suffocation. Treatment: If the pig can swallow give it one to two ounces epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water. This will cool the system and assist in reducing the inflammation. Mix half an ounce acetate of lead, two ounces tincture of arnica in one quart of water; shake this well and dip in a sponge or piece of soft muslin and press it into the animaFs mouth; then draw it out again and repeat several times. Do this every two hours until the swelling is removed. If the tongue be- comes sore use a little of the alum. A very good remedy for sore tongue is vinegar four ounces, honey four ounces, acetate of zinch one drachm. CHAPTER II. DISEASES OF THE STOMACIH. Indigestion. — The pig, like all other animals, is subject to derangements of the stomach. If it is kept too long on one kind of food, the animal be- gins to lose its ai)petite, is dull and soon loses llesh, and may suffer from in- digestion or diarrhd'a. It is therefore necessary in order to keep a hog in goad health to give it a mixed diet or a change occasionally. There are a number of diseases that originate from a faulty digestion; a cough in pigs is often caused from it, also fevers, etc. AV'hen a pig is off its food without any noticeable disease being present, it is always wise to give it a dose of physic, as in the great majority of cases a dose of ])hysic to clean out the stomach and bowels will usually prevent serious trouble. One to two ounces epson salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water, or if there is any tendency to diarrhd'a, from one to two ounces of castor oil will be found useful. In cases of impaired appetite in boss a teaspoonful each of tincture chloride of iron, gentian, and ginger given three times a day in a little water will be found to be an excellent remedy after the physic has operated. Qastritis. — Intlammation of the stomach is not a common disease in the pig, and is not often seen unless the animal his gotten some irritant sub- stance, such as a poison, and sometimes by indigestible food. The symptoms are vomiting, great pain, the pig is very restless, moving about from one place to another, and squealing, refuses food, but may be thirsty. If the cause can be found treat accordingly. If the aninnal is poisoned by an alkaline sub- stance give vinegar. If by acids give alkalies, such as bicarbonate of soda, whitewash, chalk, etc., then give flaxseed tea. oil, or barley water, and from twenty to twenty-five drops of laudanum every two or three hours. If it is from indigestion' give a duse of castor oil, follow this by giving flaxseed tea or gum arable dissolved in water. After the physic operates give twenty-five drops of tincture of opium or two grains of powdered oi)ium. If there is persistent vomiting give from ten to twenty drops of a two per cent, solution of prussic acid in a little water. We have little benefit from external treat- ment in the hog. A blister such as good strong mustard may be rubbed over the stomach. When the animal becomes convalescent feed on oatmeal and milk for a week or two. Meat Brine. — Salt in moderate quantities promotes digestion and the gen- eral health of the ani":>ial; but in too large quantities it deranges the stomach and bowels, causing the formation of gas in the stomach and bowels, diarrho'a, vertigo, convulsions, and paralysis and death in from eight to twenty-four hours. The mucous membrane of the stomach and bowels are found after death, highly injected and intlamed, and in some cases the brain is congested. If a pig should get too much brine or salt in any way, it is best to give it an emetic. A tablespoonful of mustard rubbed up in half a pint of warm water will answer the purpose. Then give two grains of opium in a little sweet oil or melted lard every two hours, to relieve the pain. If the animal is thirsty Diseases of tub Pig. 25 give it water in which barley, slippery elm bark or gum arabic has been put. This will assist in relieving the pain and inliammation. If there is severe diarrhd-a add live grains of acetate of lead to the opium. If there are con- vulsions give half an ounce bromide of potassium every two hours in a little water until relieved. In paralysis give one teaspoonful each of spirits of nitric ether and aromatic spirits of ammonia in half a glass of cold water every two hours until better. If there should be constipation give two ounces castor oil. CHAPTER III. DISEASES OF THE INTESTINES. ConsUpatioii. — Sows and young pigs that have been too highly fed are often liable to constipation. Symptoms: The feces, if passed, are dry and hard; the pig strains and may pass a few hard pieces. The appetite soon be- comes impaired and the animal is dull. When this is noticed give a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces, and change the food to soft, easily digested materials, such as hot bran mashes mixed with linseed tea. In severe cases it will be necessary to give the animal injections of warm water and soap, ('harcoal is of use in promoting digestion. Young pigs should be looked after, especially if they are getting skimmed milk. ]Joiled flaxseed n.ixed with skimmed milk is very nutritious and will prevent constipation. Diarrho this at least three times a day. Feed the pig on oatmeal and milk. Salt the oatmeal. If this treatment is faithfully carried out a great many of the affected animals will recover. Gangrenous ErysipeJan. — This is another of the anthrax diseases which aifects swine. It is sometimes called "wild-fire." This disease begins with fever, the animal appears dull, does not like to walk or stand, but lies buried in the straw or anything it can get into, the temperature is high, the pulse fast, and the breathing quick and short; red spots appear on the breast, belly and legs, often causing swelling of the skin, and in some cases it is dry and crackles on pressure, the whole of the skin of the affected part becomes very Diseases of the Pig. 35 red, then bluish black, the animal loses the power of its legs and very soon dies from exhaustion. Treatment: Give a physic in the early stages: aloes ten grains, calomel four grains; give in a little gruel. Repeat in ten hours if it does not operate. Follow this by twenty to forty drops of the tincture chloride of iron in syrup three times a day; also give quinine' in four-grain doses once a day in water or syrup. Bathe with acetate of lead half an ounce, carbolic acid half an ounce, and water one quart; use this freely sev- eral times a day over the affected parts. Give plenty of clear cold water to drink and give it anything it will eat. Qangrenous Angina. — This form of anthrax is very common in the pig. Its principal seat is in the throat, and it is characterized by difficult breathing and a wheezing sound. There is swelling of the tongue and great difficulty lu swallowing, and the animal makes efforts to vomit. There is a painful swelling that appears on the outside of the throat, sometimes extending down between the fore legs. If the skin of the pig is white it will be red at first, afterward becoming a purple color. As the disease progresses the breathing becomes more difficult, and if not relieved the animal may die from suffocation. Treat- ment: In the early stages of the disease give a dose of epsom salts, one to three ounces; follow this by giving five to ten drops of the strong nitromuri- atic acid well diluted with water. If the tongue is much swolen treat as is recommended for intlammation of the tongue. When the swelling first makes its appearance blister it with biniodide of mercury one drachm, lard one ounce. If the swelling is extending down the neck inject a little lotion composed of peroxide of hydrogen one part, water four parts. This should be injected in different parts of the swelling. This remedy is a powerful antiseptic and will sometimes stop the progress of the disease, Entric Fever (Hog cholera).— Entric fever, I think, is the proper name for this disease, as the glands of the intestines are the parts affected in the majority of cases. In some few the heart and lungs are also affected. It is supposed to be caused by baccillis; but whence this baccilii goeth or whence it Cometh has not been discovered. It is like some of the other forms of an- thrax, it may or it may not be caused by a baccillis. AVe know that we have it and that it is a very fatal disease; some seasons much more so than others. It attacks hogs in all conditions of life— those that are confined and well fed, and those that are in the pasture field. It is no respecter of hogs, except the "old land pike." All I can do at present is to give the symptoms of the dis- ease as nearly as possible, as -all sickness of the pigs is called hog cholera. The sudden death of one or more hogs calls the attention of the breeder to the fact that something is wrong with his hogs. The hog is noticed to be dull; will neither seek food or water. If it can, it will be found in a dark place; the head is held very low, and the ears are loped. Often the signs of pain are well marked by the constant movement of some part of the body. It likes to lie on its belly and may be found in this position for hours. In some cases there will be violent vomiting and the brain becomes affected and the animal may become frantic, or it may lie in an unconscious state until it dies. In the early stages of the disease the feces are normal, but very soon a very fn'tid, black or dark diarrhcta sets in. The pulse rises to one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five per minute, and the heart beats are barely per- ceptible. There is a peculiar spasmodic breathing in all cases where thelungs become congested. There is iriarked weakness of the hind legs; the anin al staggers, its legs crossing each other, but differs from paralysis in its being able to move them until the last. Some time before death there are patches on the skin of a bluish or purplish color, especially on the in side of the hind legs. If these patches are pressed they will become pale, which does not occur in other diseases where the skin becomes discolored, such as in erysipelas. The temperature of the body is at first increased, but soon falls below normal, and I have seen in a few cases dark blood oozing through the skin. In a number of cases the animal dies in from three to six hours, others live for several days. Although an animal may die in from three to six hours from the time it is first noticed to be sick, there is no doubt but what the animal has been ailing more or less for several days before it is actually taken down sick. I have made post mortem examinations of pigs which, to all appear- ance, seemed well; but on opening them all the characteristics of the disease 36 Berkshire Year Book, were present ir\ an undeviloped form. It is necessary to make a post mortem of the first hog that dies to enable iis to form a correct opinion as to the na- ture of the disease. Post-mortem appearance of the Hog that dies with this disease.-~ln re- moving the skin the tissue nnderneath it has the appearance as if the animal had been roughly used before death. The small blood vessels and the tissue beneath the skin are gorged with black blood. There is also quantities of yellow serum (yellow water). But it is in the intestines where we look for this disease. In splitting them open they are studded with pustules of various sizes and in various stages of disease decomposition; some are hard and can be seen from the outside of the bowel. I^lceration of the glands of the intestines takes place, and in some cases make an opening through the bowel. The walls of the intestines at the affected parts are thickened and black in color. There will be a quantity of black liquid feces. The other organs of the body are more or less conges ed, and in some cases, when the hog dies suddenly, I have found the same kind of pustules in the cavities and valves of the heart, which no doubt was the cause of the sudden death. The post-mortem appearance of swine, which I have made before the animal showed any outward signs of the disease, but belonged to an infected herd: On removing the skin the parts appeared healthy, but on opening the intestines numbers of pustules were found in them m the early stage of development, and the glands more or less enlarged. In fact, the pustules, I think, are nothing more or less than en- larged glands, as there are so many of the glands of the small intestines which are so small that they are hardly visible to the naked eye; so that it is clear that the disease is in progress for some time before the hog shows signs of it, and I think this is the time to treat the disease, and I think I have done it successfully in some few cases, but not of sufficient number to say that it is a fjct. In cases where the hog is actually sick I consider the case is too far developed to cure it, even if the medicine could be applied with a brush. There is a disease of the intestines which has very much the same symptoms as hog cholera, and I met with a number of cases of it last year. On making post-mortem examinations of these I did not find any discolorations of any importance under the skin. On opening the small intestines I found a slough- ing of the mucous membrane, which was black and very easily torn. I found in some cases as much as ten feet of the bowel thus affected in one place; but usually two to four feet, then a healthy part; then another patch, and so on through the greater part of the small intestines, but no pustules. It may be that sometimes it takes on this form. Treatment: All the well hogs should be separated from the diseased ones, and each adult hog should be given five to ten drops of strong nitro-muriatic acid, well diluted with water, twice a day, and two tablespoonfuls of turpentine in a little sweet oil once daily. For hogs from two to six month, half the above quantity. Unless this is properly given there is no use beginning. It is a great trouble when one has a num- ber of hogs to trear. The medicine can be given in the food, but it is neces- sary to separate each hog's food to be sure that one does not get too much, and another none or very little of it. I have had, to all appearance, good success by the use of the above, and I would be glad if farmers would report the results if they will try it and do it well. There are other remedies which have been recommended, especially that of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, as follows: Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sodium sulphate, and anti- mony sulphide, one pound each; sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and so- dium hypersulphite, two pounds each. Thes"^ are to be completely pulverized and mixed and a daily dose of a large tablespoonful for each hog two hun dred pounds in weight. The medicine may be also used as a preventive of the disease. I have used this medicine with no apparent good results. There i^ no medicine which can compare with nitro-muriatic acid for purifying the blood and acting on the diseased tissue of the bowels. On that account it ought to be a useful medicine in the early stages of hog cholera. Diseases of the Pig. 37 CHAPTEE VIII. SKIN DISEASES. Under this head there are a few eruptive diseases of the skin, and as they resemble each other in appearance, and the treatment being the same, I will only describe eczema. Eczema. — Eczema is the pustular stage of a deranged state of the skin. If noticed, the first appearance is a redness of the skin, followed in a few days by pustules, varying from the size of a pin head to the size of a large pea, or even larger. There is a discharge of a thin, somewhat irritant fluid from them, which in some cases causes the hair to fall off. It is usually fol- lowed by a considerable itching, causing the animal to rub itself, making the surface raw. After a time the parts dry up and heal, leaving the skin dry and hard, and in some cases it may crack, or in a few days a fresh crop of pustules make their appearance, and in this way the disease may remain for months if not relieved. The seat of this disease in pigs is the neck, breast, and inside of both fore and hind hgs. It is caused by some impurities in the system, or it may be the skin itself, as the animal is in its usual health, which it would not be if the blood was in a bad condition. I consider that the great majority of skin diseases are local, affecting the skin only. If the animal is fat, give it a dose of Epsom salts, one to two ounces, follow this by giving a tablespoonful of sulphur orce a day in its food for a week. This medicine partly leaves the body through the skin, and may on that account be useful. Bathe the affected parts three times a day with acetate of lead half an ounce, sulphate of zinc half an ounce, water one quart. If the skin becomes hard, use oxide of zinc one ounce, vaseline two ounces. In cases where the animal is thin in flesh, the cells of the skin may not be properly developed, resulting in disease of the skin. In this give the hog from five to ten grains of sulphate of iron, also a tablespoonful of cod liver oil twice daily in its food. We find this very useful. Use the same lotion to the skin as in the other case. Mange. — This disease is caused by a parasite which burrows under the scarf skin, causing considerable irritation, destroying it so that, scabs form; and on account of the great itchiness of the part the animal rubs it, causing the part to become a raw sore. This disease is contagious from one pig to another. It generally appears first on the thin parts of the skin under the arm, behind the ear, inside of the thighs, and upon the back. This disease in its early stage resembles eczema, but if the eyesight is good and assisted by the bright sunlight, the parasites may be seen as a moving white speck, but can be readily seen by a small magnifying glass. The cause of this disease is by contagion; that is, the parasites themselves or their eggs must get on the skin in order to produce the disease. It is therefore necessary that all the unaffected pigs should be removed from the premises where the diseased ones are or have been, and the wood work of the styes washed with a strong solu- tion of carbolic acid. Treatment. — Wash the pigs all over with soft soap and water, then rub in well dry sulphur. When the sulphur comes in contact with the secretions from the sores, it forms a compound poisonous to the parasites. lu a day or two give the animal another washing, and rub on some more sul- phur. A very sure remedy is to boil for one hour two ounces of stavesacre seeds in one and one half quarts of water, and keep it nearly boiling for an hour longer, make up the water to the quantity originally used. Such a so- lution rubbed into the skin not only kills the parasite, but its eggs also. Re- peat in a week if necessary. Another is to steep one part of tobacco in twenty parts of boiling water for a few hours, and after washing the jiig apply a little of this to the affected parts with a sponge. It the surface to be cov- ered is large, only apply it to one part to-day and to the other to-morrow. For instance, if the neck and the legs are affected, apply to the neck first, then to the other parts the day following, and there will be no bad results from the use of the tobacco, and it is an excellent remedy when carefully used. 3- 38 Berkshire Year Book. Warts.— These are caused by a deranged condition of the scarf skin, but subsequently the true skin becomes affected, thus producing on the surface of the body growths of various sizes. When these are rubbed or bruised they ulcerate, and thus form fungus like masses, projecting from ttje skin. They are very unsightly, and bleed on the slight(-st pressure. In some cases they are flat, spreading over the skin. Treatment. — For those which project from the skin and have a neck, tie a piece of sharp cord tightly around the base. If it does not slough off in a week, tie on another. When it sloughs off touch the part with terchloride of antimooy once a day for a few days, to destroy the roots of the wart. In cases where they are flat, scrape off the scurf until the blood begins to ooze, then apply a little of the antimony to it with a feather. On the second or third day remove the scab that forms, and apply a little more of the antimony, and so on until it is lower than the surround- ing skin. Then apply zinc oxide one ounce, vaseline two ounces, use a little once a day to heal it. If it should show signs of growing up again, use the antimony as above. Canker. — This is a sore which appears on different parts of the body. In the pig they are usually found on the face and ears. I have seen them com- mence on the margin of the nose and spread up to the eyes and ears, form- ing very unhealthy sores, in some cases affecting the health of the animal. It begins as little reddish sores, rapidly spreading, and in some cases causing deep sloughing, leaving the bone bare. Treatment: Wash the sores clean and apply a little terchloride of antimony every second day for a few times. This will destroy the unhealthy parts and leave them in a condition to heal. Then wash the parts once a day with the following solution: Permanganate of potassium twenty grains, water one ounce. Shake up well before using. If they are tardy in healing and have a tendency to spread, apply a little more of the an- timony, and so on until they heal. Lice.~T\\e causes of lice in pigs are bad food and filthy styes. When pigs are badly housed or kept, lice will likely appear and will spread from one pig to the other. The louse of the pig is of a dusky iron color on its back, and gray or ashy yellow on the belly, and has long legs. Lice are a great torment to the pig and it will be impossible to fatten a hog which is lousy, and they will prevent yovmg pigs from growing. There are a number of remedies for the destruction of lice. The best, if attainable, is to boil two ounces of staves- acre seeds in three pints of water, let it nearly boil for an hour longer, making up the water to the quantity originally used. AVet the animal all over with a little of this. It will kill the lice and the nits. Solutions of tobacco, one to twenty of water, is very effectual in destroying lice, and when used with cau- tion there is no danger. Cotton seed or raw linseed oil two parts, kerosene one part, this to be rubbad over the animal. The only objection is, it being a greasy substance, it sometimes clogs up the pores, and on that account either of the tirst two are preferred. SCARLET FEVER. This is a contagious disease characterized by inflammation of the fauces (back part of the mouth), and a scarlet rash appearing usually on the second day and ending about the sixth or seventh. This disease is often confounded with measles. Although there is a marked diff'erence in the human being it is not so easily distinguished in the hog unless the animal is white. If it should be mistaken for measles or measles mistaken for it, the error would not be of much consequence, as it has to be treated according to the statze and severity of the fever; that is, to confine the fever as much as possible and keep'up the strength of the patient. Symptoms: In the early stages there is langour, and stiffness caused by the muscles of the back being affected; there is a fast pulse, from one hundred to one hundred and twenty; high temperature, one hundred and four to one hundred and six; dry hot skin,' furred tongue, loss of appetite, great thirst, and great muscular weakness; sometimes the animal will vomit and the nervous system may be disordered, causing restlessness, delirium, stupor, coma, or convulsions. Very often from the be- ginning there is inflammation of the throat and back part of the mouth, which, on being examined, will be found red and swollen; the tongue will be Diseases of the Pig. 39 coated with a yellovvish white fur, and projecting red pimples will be seen upon its surface, and is red at tha edges and tip. If the animal has white skin about the face, neck, belly or inside "of the lejgs, a red rash will be seen about the second or third day. In some cases minute pimples form, which are itchy and make the animal very restless. The bowels are usually consti- pated, but in some few cases there may be diarrhoea. In some cases the throat symptoms are very slight, but usually they are severe and occur before the rash and are very distressing, swelling both inside and out, and may prevent the animal from "swallowing and make the breathing very difficult. This dis- ease is readily mistaken for quinsy in the pig. The disease usually reaches its height in from live to nine days, and then, in the majority of cases, begins to decline. The rash fades; the dry heat of the skin diminishes; the pulse be- comes slower; the throat symptoms disappear, and the tongue loses its fur and becomes clean, and the temperature is reduced; but in some cases it takes on worse forms, and an animal may die l)efore the eruption appears, from shock upon the nervous system; or at any time dur-ing the attack from brain trouble or from intlammation attacking some of the vital parts, such as the lungs, stomach, bowels; or the animal may die from suffocation. The patient may sink from debility. As this disease requires to be treated according to the condition of the animal, changing the medicine sometimes several times daily, it makes it a very difficult disease for the farmer to treat. Professor Wood, in his practice of medicine, says: "In the vast majority of cases scarlet fever would end favorably without treatment; hence the reputation acquired by homeopathy in this disease." Therefore, if such a disease as this should break out, keep the animal in a good comfortable place, keep the bowels open by giving one ounce doses of epsom salts, or a seidlitz powder occasionally. Some recommend to give diluted acetic acid, ten droj s in a little water, sev- eral times a day. If there should be diarrhoea give one ounce castor oil and from ten to twenty drops of tincture of opium in it; repeat in ten hours if necessary. It is dangerous to check diarrhcea too quickly in this disease, as it is often an effort of nature to rid the system of poisonous material. If the throat is troublesome give ten grains of chlorate of potassium and three to five drops of fluid extract of belladonna in three or four tablespoonfuls of cold water three or four times daily. If the fever is very high and in the early stage of the disease, from five to ten drops tinct\ire of aconite in a spoonful of water, will in some cases keep it down; but this should not be carried too far, as it is a very reducing medicine and so is the disease, and there may be danger of collapse. If the animal is very weak and the pulse small, give stimulents, such as two teaspoonfuls of sweet spirits of nitre in a little water, three or four times a day, or two teaspoonfuls of good whisky in a little milk several times daily. Carbonate of ammonia is also good given in ten to twelve grain doses in a little cold water three times daily. In great debility quinine five grains, sulphuric acid two drops, water one ounce, twice a day is also useful. Clothes wrung out of boiling water and wrapped around the swollen neck, and continued for twelve to twenty-four hours often relieves the distress. CHAPTEE IX. APOPLEXY. This derangement is almost entirely confined to pigs that are too fat and are getting too much to eat. Symptoms: If the animal is eating it will stop suddenly, appear restless, stupid in its movements; the eyes become prominent and blood-shot, it foams at the mouth, falls over and may die in a few min- utes- others may fall over apparently dead, and in a few moments revive and get well. Treatment: Bleeding from the veins of the legs is recommended. Tie a string tight above the knee of the fore legs, the vein on the inside of the leg will be seen to fill up; then take a sharp knife and make an opening sufficient to allow a free stream of blood; serve the other one in the same way. After removing one and a half pints of blood pin up the wound in the 40 Berkshire Year Book. skin. Press a small pin through the skin at the eJges of the wound and tie a thread around the ends of the pin,, thus closing the wound. Let the pins remain in until the skin is healed. Hogs that are over-fat and show any signs of dullness should get a dose of epsom salts, two to three ounces, and be fed sparingly for a few days until the dullness wears off. Anetnia.^This condition indicates that the blood of the animal is poor, both in quality and quantity, the result of disease or poor food. The blood contains too much water for the amount of solids in it; it is there Lore not sufficient to nourish the body, and the animal soon becomes emaciated and weak. The membranes of the mouth, nose and eyes are of a pale blue color, and if there is any white skin it will present the same appearance. The pulse is usually weak and fast; legs and ears are cold. Treatment: First remove the cause. If it is from insufficient food see that it gets a fair supply of good nutritious food; and if from disease, it will be necessary to give remedies to cure it, in combination with the medicine to be used for the cure of anemia. To assist in strengthening the blood give twenty to forty drops tincture chlo- ride of iron in a tablespoonful of cod liver oil, three times a day, and con- tinue it for several weeks. This is an excellent remedy for young pigs that are not thriving well. Plethora (Over-fat).— Some pigs, from being over-fed on highly nutritious, stimulating food, take on fat in such abundance that their legs are not strong enough to bear up the weight, and the hind legs sutfer worse. This trouble may be mistaken for partial paralysis. Treatment in such cases should con- sist in reducing the food, both in quantity and quality, and if necessary give the bog a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces dissolved in half a pint of cold water, and if the animal is on a hard lloor put it on a soft dirt tloor, or put saw-dust on it. CHAPTER X. DISEASES OF THE GENERATIVE ORGANS. The pig is not subject to diseases of these organs for the same reasons that have been mentioned before, that they are brought to maturity and the greater number of them are sold by the lime they are two years old or less. Diffiftult Pai-turition.~Th\s is sometimes met with in the so^(t, and on ac- count of the passage being too small to admit the hand, in the majority of sows, it is sometimes with great difficulty that we can relieve them. If a sow has been straining for some time and making no progress, it will be necessary to examine it to lind the cause. Causes: The j)arts may not be properly dila- ted, or the passage may be too small to allow the fo'tus to pass, or the parts may not be strong enough to expel the fo'tus. In other cases several may be expelled and one or more seem to block up the passage. Every farmer and stock breeder should have a pair of parturition forceps for the pig. They can be gotten from Hau?smann & Dunn, or any veterinary instrument makers. The forceps are useful for two purposes: To dilat^e the parts by smearing it with tluid extract of belladonna then introducing it into the passage, and by opening and closing the forceps, and the belladonna acting on the ])arts, dila- tion sometimes takes place rapidly. When this is accomplished there will be no further trouble. If it is caused by the fo'tus being too large warm the forceps and rub on a little lard and introduce them and get a hold of the foetus, and by gentle traction you will be able to remove it. I have removed a number in this way and they lived to grow into tine pigs. The fre-tus of the pig is not like the larger animals; their legs are not much hindrance If it is caused from want of strength of the walls of the uturus to expel its contents, give the sow from one to two drachms of the fluid extract ergot of rye in a little wa^er. every half hour until you have the desired result. In cases where the forceps have been nsed it is always safe to wash out the parts with tinc- ture of opium one drachm, carbolic acid thirty drops, water one pint. Inject warm water tirst to clean it out, then inject the lotion. This will act as a Diseases of the Pig. 41 soothing antiseptic and will greatly soothe the irritated parts. If there should be any lacerations of the part they should be dressed with a little of the above lotion once or twice a day. Inversion o '■' the Uturus. — This sometimes takes place in the sow, and when it does the parts should be well washed and all particles of dirt remov ed, then bathe it for ten minutes with acetate of lead two drachms, tincture of opium two drachms, water one pint. Then take a piece of soft muslin and fold it into several thicknesses and put it over the ends of your lour fingers, which should be made into the form of a cone, and by jrentle pressure on its centre it can be pressed into its place. Remember, it is inverted, and the pressure mu>t be on its centre so that it will turn in. After this has been accomplished take a strong pin and' pass it through Irom side to side of the passage, then tie a j)iece of string in the form of the figure eight; that will keep the part closed and prevent the uterus from being pressed out again. The pin is to be left in for a few days, when it can be drawn out, leaving no sore. If the sow is very restless she should be given a dose or two of opium, two grains at a dose. Feed her on oatmeal and raik food for a few days. If the sow does not do well after such cases, give her twenty drops tincture chloride of iron, and a teaspoon ful each of tincture of ginger and gentian at a dose, in a little syrup, two or three times a day for a week. Mammitis (Infiammation of the Udder). — This is not a common disease in the sow, but it does take place at times. Causes: Injuries to the udder; also, the over-accumulation of milk, and chills. Symptoms: The udder is swollen and hard. If the skin is white, it will be red and very tender to the touch. When this takes place in the sow it is usually sick with considerable fever, loss of appetite and constipated bowels. Treatment: Draw off as much milk as possible, although this is no very easy matter in the sow; the inflammation causes the milk to coagulate and it separates into curd and whey. If she has young pigs allow ihem to suck; if not, draw off as much as possible with the fingers. Foment the parts well with hot water, then use acetate of lead half an ounce, tincture of arnica two ounces, water one quart. Bathe three times daily with the hot water and apply the lotion after each bathing. Give from one to two ounces of epsom salts; follow this by giving ten grains of nitrate of potas- sium in a little water three times a day. If matter should form, which is known by the part becoming soft and pitting with the fingers, either open it with the knife or let it break of its own accord. When it breaks inject water into it to clean it out, then inject carbolic acid one drachm, water half a pint. Clean the parts out twice a day with a little of this. If the parts become hard or caked rub on iodine one rlrachm. vaseline one ounce. Do this twice a week until the part becomes soft or the hardness disappears; also give from eight to ten grains of iodide of potassium in a litt'e water twice a day for a week. If any of it should become mortified, which can be easily seen by its bluish or black appearance, it will have to be removed with the knife and the part dressed with a little proxide of hydrogen, one part to four of soft water, twice a day; also, give twenty to thirty drops of tincture chloride of iron in a spoon- ful of syrup three times a day. Sore Teate.— Occasionally the teats of the sow become inflamed and are red, swollen and sore, and she does not want the young ones to touch her. This usually makes matters worse, as the udder at the base of the teats be- comes involved on account of the accumulation of milk. This trouble is caused by the teats commg in contact with dirt mixed with urine, which irri- tates the skin, causing it to crack and inflame. Mud and water are not likelv to do this. It is also caused by the sow traveling through poisonous weeds when they fre wet with dew or rain. To avoid this trouble keep the stye of the sow clean, and, if possible, have all obnoxious weeds removed from the pasture where nursing sows are kept. Treatment; Bathe the parts well three times a day with acetate of lead half an ounce, water one quart, then rub over the affected parts after bathing, glycerine two ounces, tannic acid twenty grains, water four ounces; shake up well before using. If the animal is fever- ish give her one to two ounces of epsom salts, dissolved in half a pint of water; also give ten grains of nitrate of potassium in the food or drinking water two or three times a day. This derangement is sometimes caused by the youug pigs having sore mouths. If such is the case, sponge the mouth 42 Berkshire Year Book. with equal parts of vinegar and honey mixed with borax, a teaspoonful to every two ounces. A few applications usually effects a cure. ORCHITIS (INFLAMMATION OF THE ORCHITIS.) This disease is caused by injuries to the part, such as blows, bites from other pigs, wounds penetrating the testicle. It is also caused by feeding too much stimulating food in hot weather or medicines that stimulate the gen- erative system, such as caiithandes, rue, tansy, dameana. Symptoms: Swell- ing of ttie part, which is hot and tender to the touch, the swelling often extending down the legs; the animal suffers pain when made to move. This disease can be easily distinguished from hydrocele (water in the pouch) by the swelling being hard and hot and very tender, while in hydrocele it is soft and will tluctuate under the fingers and is not painful to the touch. Treat- ment: Give the pig two ounces epsom salts; follow this by giving ten grains of nitrate of potassium three times a day in a little water. If the appetite is good put it in its food. Bathe the part three or four times daily with hot water and after each bathing use a little of the following: acetate of lead half an ounce, tincture of arnica two ounces, water one quart. If matter should form, which can be known by the part becoming soft and pitting with the finger, th3n open it with the knife, squeeze out trie matter and wash it out with water, then inject a little of the following: Peroxide of hydrogen one ounce, water four ounces. Do this twice a day to heal it. If it will not heal it will be necessary to castrate the animal. HYDROCELE (WATER IN THE SCROTUM.) This derangement is sometimes the result of infiammation of the scrotum or by the walls of the scrotum being braised. Symptoms: The scrotum is swollen and will fluctuate under the Hngers and the testicles can be felt float- ing in the water. Treatment: If it is not interfering with the animal's health and not increasing in size it will be better left alone. Astringent medicines may be tried, such as tannic acid, twenty grains to the ounce of water. The proper treatment is to draw off the fluid with a hypodermic syringe, the nozzle of which is passed through a solution of carbolic acid. But this should be done only by a veterinarian. STERILITY. This derangement happens more commonly in the well bred animal, es- pecially in those that are ' forced" by overstimulating food. The animal gets into such a plethoric state that it sometimes blocks up the line tubes con- nected with the organs of generation. There are several other distinct causes: Disordered ovaries, obstructions to the fallopian tubes, a morbid condition of the uterus, hardening of the neck of the uterus. In the pig on account of not beiag able to make an examination by the hand it is very difficult to find the cause, and if we did it would likely be impossible to remove it. Sows should be kept in a good growing condition, but avoid having her over- fat. If the animal takes on fat very easily and will not breed give her two ounces epsom salts dissolved in half a pint of cold water at one dose; follow this by giving ten grains of iodide of potassium twice a day in her food for two weeks. By this treatment we mav succeed in absorbing materials which have blocked up some of the tubes. If the animal is weak and in poor con- dition give good food and twenty to forty drops of the tincture chloride of iron twice a day in its food. CHAPTER XL RHEUMATISM. This is a very common disease among pigs, especially young ones. It is impossible to say what causes rheumatism in the pig, as it is found under Diseases of the Pig. 43 all conditions, where the pigs are well kept, where they are not. Symptoms: There is lameness in one or more legs, which is more or less notioeable ac- cording to the severity of the case. The joints often swell at the fetlocks. When the muscles are affected it may assume the foim of intiammatory rheu- matism and will cause an elevation of terr.perature and sickness. In such case the animal will be very stiff and refuse its food, its breathing will be fast and short, and its snout dry, and if the animal is made to move it may squeal with pain. When the legs are the parts affected it may shift from one leg to the other, but if the joints swell it will likely remain stationary until relieved. Treatment: Keep the animal in a comfortable place, and if it is in good flesh give it a dose of epsom salts, one to two ounces, or two to three drops of croton oil in a spoonful of sweet oil, or it may be dropped in the mouth. Croton oil seems to be a useful medicine in rheumatism. Follow this by giving from ten to fifteen drops of oil of gaultheria to the adult pig three times a day in a little sweet oil. For pigs two to three months old give half this quantity. I have given iodide and ihe bicarbonate of potassium in ten grain doses two or three times a day in a little water with good results; but I have excellent results by giving the oil of gaul- theria. Rub the sore swollen joints with equal parts of oil of turpentine and sweet oil. In cases of inflammatory rheumatism, after giving the physic, give from three to five drops of the tincture of aconite every two hours for the first two days, then give the oil of gaultheria as directed. Sprains. — Young and old pigs are liable to sprains of the ligament at the top of the hoof and fetlock joint, which may be mistaken for rheumatism, as the symptoms resemble it; but as the treatment for rheumatism of the joints will answer the purpose for sprains it will make no difference if a mistake is made. SORE FEET. Pigs which are kept on hard slippery floors suffer from inflammation of the sensitive parts of their feet. I ha^e seen some very heavy hogs suffer from the same cause on hard dry ground. There are also cases of sores breaking out at the back of the hoof and between the toes. This is called "foul in the feet;" but I have not seen any cases of the contagious foot dis- ease in this country, and the one to be described is a local disease caused by some substance irritating the parts at the heel or between the toes. I have often seen it caused by the fine cinders of coal being scattered in the yard. This material gets in between the toes, causing irritation. Vesicles may form, burst, and discharge a yellow fluid, or matter may form. Unhealthy sores are the result of the irritation not being removed. Cinders from coal should never be put in yards where hogs, cattle or sheep are kept, as I have had a number of cases in cattle and sheep as well as the hog nearly ruined from this cause. Treatment: In cases where the feet are tender and no sores ap- pear, the animal should be kept for several hours on a bed of wet sand, as it is not practicable to poultice the feet of the hog and the wet sand will an- swer the purpose. If the animal is very lame a dose of epsom salts, fol- lowed by ten grains of nitrate of potassium two or three times a day in its food will cool the system and help to relieve the sore feet. In a few days the animal is usually cured, if sores appear between the toes or at the heels, clean the parts well with warm water and soap to remove all dirt. If there is any proud flesh, which can be known by its bluish appearance and spongy aspect, applv a little terchloride of antimony with a feather once. If it has not removed all the proud flesh apply again on the third day. To heal the sores use chloride of zinc one drachm, water one pint; dress once or twice a day according to the severity of the case. Keep the pigs in a clean dry place until the feet are well. W^OUNDS. These are of frequent occurrence in the pig, and if they are severe they will be difficult to heal, as it is impossible to prevent the animal from rubbing, thus irritating them. Pandages cannot be applied with any satisfaction as the animal will tear or rub them off. If the wound is caused by a sharp instru- 44 Berkshire Year Book. ment and is lengthwise in the muscle, cast the hog and sew np the wound either with catgut or silk thread; but if it is a ragged wound or cut across the muscle, it is better not to close it. Dress the woiuids once or twice a day with permanganate of pottssium, ten grains to the ounce of water for fresh wounds; for old wounds, twenty grains to the ounce of water. When the wound is not deep and the weather is hot, rub on a little tar. This will keep away the flies and the wound will heal of its own accord. INJURIES. Broken bones in the pig will heal as fast as in any other animal, but it is impossible to confine the animal for treatment. In cases of simple fracture it will usually get well of itself; but, where the bone is splintered and the flesh lacerated, it is best to destroy the animal. The injury sometimes only bruises the flesh and it will right itself. In other cases there will be effusion of serum under the skin, causing a considerable soft, pufly swelling. This will have to be opened and the fluid pressed out and a Utile of the chloride of zinc lotion injected once a day for a few days. If this is not done the sack^will All up again. PouK Products, Etc. 45 PORK PRODUCTS. Slaughtering and Curing the Carcass of the Hog. Farmers should not only cure hams, bacon, etc., necessary for consump- tion on the farm, but an additional quantity ample to supply the home market. The merchants in nearly every small town and city in the United States purchase from distant wholesale markets as much pork, lard and other hog products as the farmers in such localities offer for sale. The expense of shipping the live hogs to market, the commission paid for their sale, the outlay for slaughter and cure of the carcass, the packers', jobbers' and retail dealers' profits, the money paid for return shipment of the dressed meat, and insurance on same, are, by the prevailing customs of trade, a loss to the farmer of many millions of dollars annually. The breeders of Berkshire swine will find much of interest concerning the slaughter and cure of pork products in the experience of the well known authorities quoted on the following pages, the study of which will doubtless p ompt many farmers that have sold their hogs on foot for shipment to dis- tant packing centers and subsequently purchased large quantities of high- priced hams, etc., to adopt the more profitable plan of preparing an ample supply of pork of their own feeding for home use and the local markets. The consumption of pork can be largely increased on each farm by feed- ing for a better quality of product and adopting the better methods of dressing, curing, smoking and preparing hams, bacon and pickle pork, speci- ified on the following pages. now TO CUT UP PORK. Split through the spine, cut off each half of head behind the ear and re- move the pieces in front of the shoulder for sausage. Take out leaf which lies around kidneys for lard, cut out the lean meat, ribs, etc., at the ham and shoulder and remove the loose pieces directly in front of the ham for lard. Cut off a narrow strip of the belly for sausage, and cut up the remainder, which is clear pork, into five or six strips of about equal width for salting down. Smoke the jowl with hams, and use the upper part of the head for boiling, baking or head cheese. Scorch the feet over the fire until the hoofs remove easily, scrape clean, place in hot water a few minutes, wash and scrape thoroughly and they are ready for cooking. All the fiabby pieces should be tried up for lard. Remove all fat from intestines, saving that which does not easily come off the larger intestines, for soap grease. The liver, heart, sweet- breads and kidneys are all used for boiling or frying, and the smaller intestines are sometimes iised for sausage cases. SALTING PORK. In the matter of keeping pork there are some items antecedent to salting that are worthy of attention. First, in dressing, the scurf should be entirely removed by most thorough scraping and applications of hot water. Ey this is meant not only the dark-colored, external scurf that readily slips off' on a good scald, leaving a smooth, white, shining surface; it is what composes this that should be removed, otherwise, when warm weather comes, it rises to the top of the brine, sours, and impairs the flavor of the meat. Two pigs may be dressed for market with a better appearance, while one can be properly prepared for salting and keeping for domestic use. The vessel (barrel or glazed crock) in which the meat is to be packed should be clean, free from any —4 46 Berkshike Year Book. tra e of lime or suspicion of taint from previous use. If musty, invert over bai lug sulphur and fumigate. AVhen the meat is thoroughly cold (should never be Irozen), cut in desired form, rub with compound described below, pack closely on edge with rind toward the outside, and weight that it may not rise. Compound for rubbing the meat: One-fourth pound black pepper, finely ground, l^ pound saltpeter, pulverized; mix with salt, 8 to 10 pounds, sutti- cieut for the meat; rub thoroughly, scattering some upon the bottom of 'the vessel and upon each layer of meat; cover the meat with cold water. Meat thus prepared will keep some time, though not through hot weather. The lean will not harden as if more salt were added. If scum arise, skim and add more salt, putting it on top, thus feeding the brine whenever it thus in- dicates the need. Carefully keep the meat covered with brine, leaving none to float, adding water and salt as required. Thus treated the Berkshire gives a product that is unexcelled. If preferred, the brine may be added when the meat is packed by putting in water all the salt it will dissolve. If packed for market or not frequently examined, this is the better way; otherwise the former method is preferable. TO SALT I'ORK. Allow the meat to stand until the animal heat is entirely out of it; cut the sides into strips crosswise; cover the bottom of a barrel with salt, and pack in the pork closely edgewise, with rind next the barrel; cover each layer with salt, and proceed in like manner until all has been put in. Make a strong brine suflicient to cover the pork (soft water is best and there is no danger of getting it too salt), boil, skim and pour into the barrel while boil- ing hot. Have a board cut out round, a little smaller than the barrel, put over the pork, and on it place a weight heavy enough to keep it always un- der the brine. If at any time the brine froths or looks red, it must be turned off, scalded and returned while hot. Never put cold brine on old pork unless you wish to lose it. In salting down a new supply of pork, boil down the old brine, remove the scum and then pour it over the pork as directed above. PICKLE FOR IIAM. For lUO pounds: Good salt, 8 pounds; molasses m pints; saltpeter 4 ounces: soda, 2 ounces. Put all in sullicieut water to cover the meat; boil and skim well; when cool put on the meat with heavy weight to keep the meat under the brine; leave it in 30 days; drain and remove to the smoke- house; smoke with corn cobs or green hickorv wood for ten days. L. A. REYNOLDS, Arcadia, Neb. PICKLE FOR HAMS. Rub and pack as above, and cover with a pickle of the following propor- tions: Six gallons of water, 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of sugar. Let meat lie three to five weeks, remove and soak twelve hours to equalize salt, drain and smoke to suit. Green hickory wood or cobs are desirable fuel. Complete smoking by burning one-half pound of sulphnr. This is to prevent meat from molding. Bag and hang in cool, dry place. TO CURE HAMS. To too pounds of meat: Nine pounds of salt, 3 pounds of sugar or mo- lasses, 3 ounces of saltpeter, 2 ounces of soda; boil and skim; add to meat when cool; add enough water before boiling to cover the meat. CimiNG HAMS. To every 100 pounds of ham, 8 pounds best pork salt, 2 ounces saltpeter, 2 pounds brown sugar, l}4 ounces potash and 4 gallons water. Mix and pour over the hams after they have lain in tub two days, having been rubbed with fine salt and a little brown sugar when put in. Let them remain in this pickle six days, then let hang and dry a few days before smoking. A. J. LOA'EJOY, RoscoE, III. Pork Products, ^tc. CURING HAMS. Hang up the hams a week or ten days, the longer the tenderer and bet- ter, if kept perfectly sweet; mix for each good-sized ham, 1 teacunful of salt, 1 tablespoonful of molasses, 1 ounce of saltpeter. Lay the hams in a clean, dry tub; heat the mixture and rub well into the ham, especially around the bones and recesses; repeat the process once or twice, or until all the mixture is used; then let the hams lie two or three days, when they must be put for three weeks in brine strong enough to bear an egg; then soak eight hours in cold water; hang up to dry iu the kitchen or other convenient place for a week or more; smoke from three to five days, being careful not to heat the hams. Corn cobs and apple tree wood are good for smoking. The juices are better retained if smoked with the hoek down. Tie up carefully in bags for the summer. TO CURE HAMS AND BACON. When killed and cool, cut up, and begin immediately to salt them. Rub the outside of each ham with a teaspoonful of powdered saltpetre, and the inside with a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. Having mixed together two pounds of brown sugar and salt, mix in the proportion of one pound and a half of sugar to a pint of salt, and rub the pork well with it. This quantity of sugar and salt will be sufficient for fifty pounds of meat. Have ready some large tubs, the bottom sprinkled with salt, and lay the meat in the tubs with the skin downward. Put plenty of salt between each layer of meat. After it has lain eight days, take it out and wipe off the salt and wash the tubs. Make a pickle of soft water, equal quantities of salt and molasses and a little salt- petre, allowing five ounces of saltpetre to two quarts of molasses and two quarts of salt, which is the proportion for fifty pounds of meat. The pickle must be strong enough to bear up an egg. Boil and skim it, and when it is cold, pour it over the meat, which must be turned frequently and basted with the pickle. The hams should remain in the pickle at least four weeks; the bacon three weeks. They should then be taken out and smoked. Having washed off the pickle, before you smoke the meat, bury it while wet, in a tub of bran. This will form a crust over it and prevent evaporation of the juices. Let the smoke-house be ready to receive the meat immediately. Take it out of the tub after it has lain half an hour and rub the bran evenly over it. Then hang it up to smoke with the small end downward. Tongues may be cured in the above manner. NEW WAY TO SMOKE HAMS. Smoke the barrel in which the hams are to be pickled by inverting it over a kettle containing a slow fire of hard wood for eight days (keeping water on the head to prevent shrinking). In this barrel pack the hams, and pour over them, after it has cooled, a brine made in the proportion of four gallons of water, eight pounds of salt, five pints of molasses and four ounces of salt- petre, boiled and skimmed in the usual manner. They will be cured in eight or nine days, and they may be kept in the pickle for a year without damage. TRYING LARD. Cut the fat into small pieces, put into a kettle, and pour in enough water to cover the bottom. Boil gently until the "scraps" settle, or until the water has all evaporated, stirring often to prevent burnine. Take off, strain in stone jars and set in a cool place. The quality of the fard is improved by sprink- ling over and slowly stirring in one tablespoonful of soda to every five gallons of lard just before removing from the fire. After adding soda the kettle must be removed from the stove, and watched closely and stirred constantly, as it foams rapidly, is very likely to run over, and it on stove, is likely to take fir*. The leaf should be tried by itself for the nicest cooking. That from the smaller intestines, and the fiabby pieces, not fi( or salting, should be thrown into lukpwarm water and allowed to stand for vventy four hours, and then should be tried by itself, and the lard set away where it will freeze, and by spring the strong taste will be gone. A teacup of water prevents burning while trying. 48 Berkshire Year Book, TO MAKE LARD. Take the leaf fat from the inside of a bacon hog, cut it small and put it in an iron kettle, which must be perfectly free from any musty taste; set it over a steady, moderate fire until nothing but scraps remain of the meat; the heat must be kept up, but gentle, that it may not burn the lard; spread a coarse cloth in a wire sieve, and strain the liquor into tin basins which will hold two or three quarts; squeeze all the fat from the scraps. When the lard in the pans is cold, press a piece of new muslin close upon it, trim it off on the edge of the pan, and keep it in a cool place. Or it may be kept in wooden kegs with close covers. Lard made with one-third as much beef suet as fat is supposed by many persons to keep better. HEAD CHEESE. Take the heads, tongues and feet of young, fresh piork, or any other pieces that are convenient. Having removed the skin, boil them until the meat is (juite tender and can easily be stripped from the bones. Then chop it very line, and season it with salt and pepper, and ground cloves if you choose, or sage leaves rubbed to a jiowder. Mix it all well with your hand. Put it into deej) pans with straight sides, and press it down hard and firm with a plate that will fit the pan, putting the under side of the plate next to the meat, and i)lacing a heavy weight on it. In two or three days turn it out ot the pan and cut it in thin slices. Use mustard and vinegar over it. SEASONING EOR SAI'SAGE. To 40 pounds of meat use 1 pound of salt, I4 pound of pepper, 2 ounces of sage; mix thoroughly and add to meat before chopping, as it can be done more easily than after chopping. My wife says these are first-class, and her opinion can't be beat. II. A. COOrEB, North Wolcott X. Y. SAUSAGE. Meat 32 pounds; J^ pint, 1 part summer savory, 2 parts sage: I cup sugar; }i pint salt; pepper to suit. B. L. SELDOX, LeBoy, N. Y. SAUSAGE. Twenty pounds of chopped meat, 8 ounces of salt, 2 ounces of pepper, 1 ounce ot powdered sage, 1 teaspoonful of ginger. When cool, pack in pans, and first cover it thick with lard, then with paper. When cutting for use loosen a i)ortion of the paper and press it back again. Keep in a cool, drv l)lace. MBS. B. C. B. ' MOCK SAUSAGE. Soak dry bread in water. Take as much cold meat, chopped fine, as you have bread. Mix and season with salt, pepper and sage. Make into small cakes and fry. A. M. STEVENS. VIRGINIA SAUSAGE MEAT. Pick the sausage meat to get out all the pieces of bone and strings; wash it in hike warm water and lay on a table to drain; let it stand all night; take' off so^e of the fat from the backbone to mix with the lean. If you use "leaf fat,"" when you fry the sausage it will melt away to gravy and leave a little knot v>f lean, hard and dry, floating in a sea of melted grease. The fat must be taken oif before the chines are salted, and washed, skinned and put to drain with the lean. Next day chop it fine, picking out all the strings. When fine enough season it with salt, sage, black and red pepper to taste. Pack it in a close vessel. If you wish to stuff them, have some nicely cleaned chit- terlings kept in salt and water ten days or a fortnight. Stuff, hang on sticks and dry. A little smoke improves them; too much makes them bitter. Farmers' Kitchen, Etc. 49 FARMERS' KITCHEN. How to Cook and Serve Ham, Bacon and other Pork Products, by Practical Housekeepers. Pork enters more largely into the daily bill of fare of the American citi- zen than that of any other meat product, and the great increase from year to fea,r in the consumption of hams, bacon, etc., is the best evidence of the econ- )my and health resulting from the very general use of the same. The best methods of preparing for the table the appetizing and whole- some food made from the carcass of the hog deeply interests every house- ceeper in completing arrangements for the breakfast, dinner and supper. The jreat number of palatable dishes that can easily be prepared in every kitchen 'rom a carcass of pork is known by comparatively few of the families that nake pork their principal meat diet throughout the year. In order to increase ttie consumption of j)ork and add to the number of lelicious preparations therefrom for the table the following recipes are present- id to the American housewife. It is only necessary to examine the many appetizing dishes suggested in he following recipes to confirm the general impressions of the completeness )f this compilation. IIEALTIIFUI. PORK. Pork is the staple food, as regards meat, of the great majority of Ameri- cans. It is more easily and cheaply produced than any other, the hog hav- ng less waste material in his makeup than any other domestic animal. Too nuch corn given to any animal will cause it to become feverish from indi- gestion. In that case its tlesh, too. will be hard to digest, and will therefore be mhealthful. The business of feeding to produce healthful meat is much bet- er understood than it used to be. We very seldom now hear of hogs fat- ened until their eyes are blinded by fat, and the animals can hardly be aroused rom their stupor long enough to take their feed. The true way to make weet, healthful pork, is to keep the animal growing from the time he is a pig. )o not aim to fatten it. Feed as much as possible with succulent foods and hose rather bulky in proDortion to their nutrition. In this way digestion will )e kei)t perfect, and any kind of grain fed will make all the pork that it is apable of making. This is a most important point in profitable feeding. If here is an attack of indigestion, not only is the quality of the meat injured, lut there is a waste of the food in the stomach until digestion is fully re- tored. I'nless a farmer manages to keep his stock in good appetite he can- lot feed at a profit, because loss of appetite necessarily implies that some food aten has contributed nothing but nutrition. There is no reason why hogs hould be troubled by poor digestion. The power of the pig to get nourish- iient out of all food given it is greater than that of any other animal. If dgs were never, even in fattening, kept on concentrated food, they ought al- i^ays have the perfect digestion with which the young pig nearly always be- ins life. We say nearly always, for it is one of the most serious facts in lig breeding that by feeding a breeding sow mainly on corn or other concen- rated food her pigs will be stunted even before their birth, and' if we may ;se the word, predestined to runthood during their entire natural life, — Amer- can Cultivator. 50 Berkshire Year Book. PORK IS HEALTHY. If we appeal to the experience of mankind in support of the proposition, abundant proof will be found in the armies and navies of the world all along the lines of the world's history; and if we go to the mercantile and manufac- turing countries, the voice of experience will show that no meat is more free from disease germs than the salt pork and bacon; but it is on the farm and in the rural districts that the most undoubted testimony is found, for it is there that the family, including the women and children, feed mostly on si)are- ribs, backbones, jowls, shoulders and hams, either green, salt or smoked, and as the custom has been goior on for thousands of years with satisfactory re- sults, the plain, common s^n^e, robust country people can never have their faith in the healthfuluess of 'he hog shaken. Xow there is a wide difference between city killed and served pork and sausage and the country product. The good, pure, country leaf lard, highly seasoned sausage, sugar cured hams and bacon, have nothing in them to make people sick, and have never yet been produced in sufficiency to supply the demsind.— Farm Journal. CONSUMPTION OF PORK, "We can easily understand why the landed interests of Great Britain and the continent, their henchmen, the farmers and butchers, object to American pork; but it will be our own fault if the consumers do not find our pig pro- ducts eciual or superior to those obtained from any other country. "The exact data," says (Jharles H. Murray in his valuable annual of the provision trade of the world, "as to the consumption of hog products in the United States cannot be presented, but close calculation can be made, based on statistics in- dicating supply and exportation of product. Such information points to an average per capita of a rate of consumption reaching 55 to 57 pounds of meats in recent years, and about eight pounds of lard. This rate of consumption is not approached by any other country, and it is evident that no animal food product in general use can be shown to be more free from unwholesomeness." No better evidence is needed in this direction than that made in the war, when over two million of men almost lived on "sow belly," and miserable stuff at that. JOSEPH HARRIS. BAKED BACON. Cut in slices as you would to fry, lay in a baking pan and put in a hot oven. When cooked you have some nice flavoi-ed meat. MRS. M. A. PARK. BAKED PIG. Take a pig about six weeks old, nicely prepared, score in squares and rub lard over it, and make a dressing of two quarts of corn meal, salted as if for bread, and mix to a stiff bread with boiling water; make into pans and bake. After this is baked brown break it up and add to it one-fourth pound of but- ter, pepper to taste and thyme. Fill the pig till plump, sew it up and place it on its knees in the pan, which fill with as much water as will cook it. Baste it very frequently with the gravy, also two red pepper pods. Turn while baking same as turkey, and continue to baste till done. Some use tur- key dressing instead of above. BARBACUED PORK. Put a loin of pork, in a hot oven without water, sprinkle with flour, pep- per and salt, baste with butter, cook two or three hours, or until very brown. Pour into the gravy half a teacupful of walnut catsup. Serve with fried ap- ples. CRACKNELS. These can be had at the butcher's at a very low price. They are what is left from frying out lard. Put them into a pan with a little warm water ani some bread crumbs or cold corn bread broken fine. Season with pepper and salt. Fry till a nice brown and serve hot. MRS. W. B. R. Farmers' Kitchen, Etc. 51 FRIED PORKSTEAKS. Fry like bee fst daks, with pepper and salt, or sprinkle with dry powdered sage if the sausage flavor is liked. FRIED SALT PORK. Cut in rather thin slices, and freshen by letting lie an hour or two in cold water, or milk and water, roll in flour and fry till crisp (if in a hurry pour boiling wdter on the slices, let stand a few minutes, drain and roll in flour and fry as before); drain oft' most of the grease from frying pan, stir in while hot one or two tablespoons of flour, about half a pint of new milk, a little pepper and salt, if not salt enough already from the meat; let boil and pour into gravy dish. This makes a nice white gravy when properly made. RAKED HAM. Most persons boil ham. It is much better baked, if baked right. Soak it for an hour in clean water and wipe it dry. ^Next spread it all over with thin batter, and put it into a deep dish, with sticks under it to keep it out of the gravy. When it is fully done take ott' the skin and batter crusted upon the flesh side, and set away to cool. It should bake from six to eight hours. After removing the skin, sprinkle over with two teaspoonfuls of sugar, some black pepper and powdered crackers. Put in a pan and return to the oven to brown; then take up and stick cloves through the fat, and dust with powdered cinnamon. ROILED HAM. Pour boiling water over it and let it stand until cool enough to wash, scrape clean (some have a coarse hair brush on purpose for cleaning ham), put in a thorou.ghly cleansed boiler wiih cold water enough to cover; bring to the boiling point and then place on the back part of the stove to simmer steadily for six or seven hoars, or till tend;"r when pierced with a fork (if the ham weighs twelve pounds); be careful to keep water at boiling point and not allow it to go much above it; turn the ham once or twice in the water. When done, take up and put into a baking pan to skin; dip the hands in cold water take the skin between the fingers and peel as you would an orange; set in a moderate oven, placing the lean part of the ham downward, and if you like, sift over it pounded or rolled crackers; bake one hour. The baking brings out a quantity of fat, leaving the meat much more delicate, and in warm weather it will keep in a dry cool place a long time; if there is a tendency to mold set it a little while into the oven again. Or, after the ham is boiled and peeled cover, with the white of a raw egg and sprinkle sugar or fine bread crumbs over it; or, cover with a regular cake icing, place in the oven and brown; or, quarter two onions, stick whole allspice or black pepper in the quarters, with a knife make slits in the outside of the ham in which put the onions, place in a dripping pan, lay parsely around and bake till nicely browned; or, after boiling and peeling, dust with sugar and pass a hot knife over it until it forms a caramel glaze and serve without baking. A still nicer way is to glaze with strong meat jelly or any savory jelly at hand, boiled down rapidly (taking great care to prevent burning) until it is like glue. Brush this jelly over the ham when it is cool and it makes an elegant dish. The nicest portion of a boiled ham may be served in slices, and the ragged parts and odds and ends may be chopped up fine for sandwiches, or by adding three eggs to one pint of chopped ham, a delicious omelet may be made. If the ham is very salt, it it should be in water over night. ROILED HAM. Pour boiling water over it, and when cool enough scrape and wash clean. Put in a boiler and cover with cold water; bring to the boiling point, then place on the back of the stove to boil gently for three or four hours, or till tender so as to stick a fork in it. Turn the ham once or twice in the water. When done take up and put into a baking pan to skin. Dip the hands in cold water, take the skin between the fingers and skin as yon would an orange. Set in a moderate oven and bake one hour, as this draws out the superfluous 52 Bekkshire Year Book. fat, leaving the meat more delicate, and in warm weather it will keep in a cool i)lace a long time. Any tendency to mold may be removed by setting it in the oven awhile. To glaze a boiled ham, sprinkle with sugar and pass a hot knife over it, or brush it with the yolk of a well-beaten egg, sprinkle well with grated cracker or bread crumbs, and cover it with sweet cream; then put in the oven to brown. Tlie nicest portion of boiled ham serve in slices, and the ragged parts, odds and ends aie chop])ed up line for sandwiches, or by adding three eggs tt* one pint of chopped ham a delicious omelet may be made. BOILED HAM. After cleaning the ham well, place it in a large boiler and fill it with cold water. Let it boil slowly live or six hours, then take it out and put it into a dish to drain. While it is still hot, or when it is cool, remove the skin and place it in the oven to brown. IMix one teacupful of vinegar, one tablespoon- ful of black pepper, a little ground mustard, two or three tablespoonfuls of sugar, and baste the ham with it while it is roasting. HOXELESS HAM. Having soaked a well cured ham in tepid water over night, bojl it till perfectly tender, putting it on in warm water; take up in a wooden tray, let cool, remove bone carefully, press the ham again into shape, return to boiling liquor, remove pot from fire and let the ham remain in it till cold. Cut across and serve cold. HKOILKD HAM. Cut the ham in slices of medium thickness, place on a hot gridiron, and broil until the fat readily tlows out and the meat is slightly browned. Take from the gridiron with a knife and foi-k, drop into a pan of cold water, then return again to the gridiron, lieturn several times and the ham is done. Place in a hot platter, add a few lumps of butter and serve at once. If too fat, trim off a part. It is almost imi)Gssible to broil the fat part without burning, but this does not impair the taste. Pickled pork and breakfast bacon may be broiled in the same way. 15UOILED HAM. Cut the slices thin, then pound like beefsteak; cook on a griddle over hot coals (it need not be cooked much); save the gravv and butter the meat when done. MRS. THOMAS TRUNDLE. DELICIOUS FRIED HAM. Place the slices in boiling water and cook till tender; put in frying pan and brown and dish on platter; fry some eggs by dripping gravy over them until done, instead of turning; take up carefully and lay them on the slices of ham. DEVILED HAM. Take lean, boiled ham and chop it very fine, season it well with black and red pepper and dry mustard, press it solid and slice thin. MRS. R. AV. MILLS. FRIED IIA.M. Lay the ham in the skillet, and pour boiling water over it to freshen it; let it boil about ten minutes, then pour the water off and fry in its own fat. HAM BALLS. Take half a cup of bread crumbs, and mix two esrgs well beaten; chop line some bits of cold boiled, and mix them all; make into balls and fry. HAM AND E(iGS. Cut the ham in pieces the size of a fried egg; fry it in its own fat, and when done break the number of eggs required in the' ham fat and fry them. \\'lien done lay each agg on a piece of the ham and serve. FAUMKKts' KlTCTEN, EtO. 53 11AM AND ECUS LUNCH LOAF, Chop remnants of cold boiled ham, corned beef or salt pork; add crushed crackers, and from three to six eggs, according to the amount of your meat. Hake in a round baking powder box or empty spice box, and when cold it can be sliced for the table. MRS. ALICE FAR WELL. HAM PATTIES. One pint of ham, which has previously been cooked, mix with two pints of bread crumbs, wet with milk. Put the batter in gem-pans, break one egg over each, sprinkle the top thickly with cracker crumbs, and bake until browned over. IIAM TO A.ST. Chop the lean, cooked ham into small pieces, put in a pan with a little pepper, a lump of butter and two eggs well beaten. AVhen warmed through, spread it on hot, buttered toast. M. L. HAHN. IIOAV TO COOK PICKLED SIDE MEAT. Cut in slices required to fry, parboil to freshen, roll or sprinkle in Hour- fry until cooked through. ELIZAT3ETH KELSEY. Linn, III. PIG.S' FEET. Wash in hot water and scrape thoroughly with a sharp knife. Lay them in salt water all night to remove the blood. Put on to cook with enough cold water to cover, slightly salted. Cook from three to five hours, until the bones loosen. Take out the meat in a chopping bowl and chop medium tine. Strain the liquor in the pot in which they were boiled, and season with vinegar and pepper to taste; take out the meat into bowls or small crocks, and cover it with the juice, to which you have added more hot water, as it will bear dilut- ing. When cold, if not wanted for immediate use, pour melted lard over the top. If used right away, turn out of the bowls and cut down in slices half an inch thick. CHRISTIE IRAMXC;^. pigs' feet SOUSE. Cut off the horny parts of feet and toes, scrape, clean and wash thor- oughly; singe off the stray hairs, place in a kettle with plenty of water, boil, skim, pour off water and add fresh, and boil until the bones will pull out easily; do not bone, but pack in a stone jar with pepper and salt sprinkled between each layer; cover with good cider vinegar. When wanted for the table, take out a sufficient quantity, put in a hot skillet, add more vinegar, salt and pepper if needed, boil until thoroughly heated, stir in a smooth thick- ening of rtour and water, and boil until Hour is cooked; serve hot as a nice breakfast dish. Or, when the feet have boiled until perfectly tender, remove the bones and pack in a stone jar as above; slice down cold when wanted for use. Let the liquor in which the feet are boiled stand over night; in the morning remove the fat and prepare and preserve for use. PIGS'-IIEAD CHEESE. Having thoroughly cleaned a hog's or pig's head, split it in two, take out the eyes and the brain, clean the ears, throw scalding water over the head and ears, then scrape them well; when very clean put in a kettle with water to cover it. and set over a rather quick fire; skim it as any scum arises; when boiled so that the tlesh leaves the bones, take it from the water with a skimmer into a large wooden bowl or tray; then take out every particle of bone, chop the meat tine, season to taste with salt and pepper (a little pounded sage may be added), spread a cloth over the colander, put meat in, fold cloth closely over it, lay a weight on it so that it may press the whole surface equally (if it be lean use a heavy weight, if fat a lighter one); when cold take off the weight, remove the colander and ])lace in a crock. Some add vinegar in proportion of one j)int to a gallon crock. Clarify the fat from the cloth, colander and Ii(|nnr of the pot and use for frying. 54 r.i KKsiiiici ^ i;.\i; l>(i(.K, I'oKK CHOI'S AM) I Kii:i) vrn.ios.

There are thousands of farmers and swine breeders that have recently made their iirst investment in the Berkshire hog. The great majority of the new breeders referred to above have made a careful and intelligent investiga- tion of the merits of the Berkshire, and from the best of evidence have be- come firmly convinced of the incomparable excellencies of the breed. There are many new recruits to the JJerkshire army that have had little opportunity for study or observation of the good points so generally conceded this breed of hogs for more than a century. The latter class have had indif- ferent success with other breeds, and now enter upon the breeding of the Berkshire with the conddent expectation of obtaining more profitable and satisfactory results. The opinions of the leading authorities (juoted on the following pages will not only confirm the belief of the experienced breeder but convince the new breeder of the fact that the Jierkshire is the most prolific breeder, the best suckler, the most healthy and profitable hog to feed, and that the carcass is of the best quality. The Berkshire is the standard to which all the breeders of swine endeavor to attain in style, finish, breeding and feeding (lualities and excellence of carcass. OPINIONS OF EXPERIENCED BREEDERS. AVhen we consider all the numerous valuable (puilities of the Berkshire, the superiority of its fiesh. its great hardihood and ability to resist disease, the ease with which it fattens at an early age, and its fertility, we have no hesi- tation in giving our ])reference to the Berkshire so far as general farm pur- poses are concerned. The advantages or strong points of the Berkshire breed are these: The meat is the best and commands the highest price; the sows are very prolific and make the best and most attentive mothers. The Berkshires as a rule, although there are many exceptions to it, are heavily developed at the fore end, and you nearly always find with this breed a broad head, set closely on a deep, short and thick neck, the neck blending well with the shoulder, and the muscles of the shoulder again pass smoothly into those of the ribs. The ribs are deep and well sprung, qualities which always accompany constitution and vitality. For these reasons, chiefiy, we prefer the Berkshire to any other breed for general farm purposes; and the only breed which has ever tempted us seriously to change our mind in this matter is the little all-black Essex. PROFESSOR SKELTON. A word to those who may not be thoroughly acquainted with the Berk- shire hog. They are the oldost of any of the breeds, and have been pure for over one hundred years. Are a compact hog, of good size, superior quality and wonderful constitution; are always smooth and ready for the market at any age, and universally command the highest price in the market; are noted for their well marbled meat, and carry a large proportion of the best cuts of high-priced meats, viz., back and hams. A commission man at Chicago once said on selling for us a carload of prime barrows, weighing an average of 409 pounds, that our hogs were the "best backed hogs" that came to the jards. The Berkshire IIog. o7 The Berkshire cannot be excelled for crossing on the common or other hogs of the country, as he is a prepotent sire, and leaves the impress of his race on his get. A neighbor of ours once brought a Chester White sow and bred her to one of our Berkshire boars, and at farrowing time found to all ap- pearances as line a litter of Berkshires as could be desired. We think the Jierkshire is the best 'all round" hog for the purpose that can be found, and will convert grass and grain into more profit, and thrive in all climates bet- ter than any other breed, and that is why we breed them. A. J. LOVEJOY & SOX, RoscOE, III. The Berkshire is an English breed, improvement of which began about a century ago, and although having attained a standard of perfection which places them in the van, not only in the show ring, but also at the markets, the careful breeders will continue to advance them in quality and allow no deterioration Their excellent qualities have kept them in the lead, notwith- standing the several booms of other breefls. and many of them owe their good l)oints to the Berkshire. Jieing the oldest of the improved breeds of swiue, it is, therefore, the most impressive when used for the improvement of common stock. Their color is black, with white points, but in scalding, when being dressed for pork, this outer skin comes off, leaving the pork perfectly white. Among the many characteristics are a large quantity of lean meat when fattened; (piickness of growth, giving greater return for food than any other breed; also size at maturity, boars 500 to 800 pounds, sows 400 to 700 pounds; freedom from skin and other diseases; adapted for either warm or cold cli- mates; excellent for feeding on grass, yet easily kept in low enclosures, owing to their (luiet dispositions; their hams, shoulders and sides of bacon excel all other breeds.

The pigs come strong and active, and feed at an early age. They are good grazers and feed ele- gantly after cattle. They are of a strong constitution, having vitality and great power of digestion. Their appearance is attractive, intelligent and proud, which indicates thorough breeding. They cross with all other breeds, perpetuating their vitality and quality. The half and three-fourths blood are much the type of the pure breed. IIRI) CROSS STOCK FAPtM, A rsTiN, Texas. Berkshires have large bones, cajjalile of carrying great weight. My hogs all have great length, deep bodies, and weigh 'at maturity, when made fat, from 450 to 750 pounds. They are good feeders and are easily fattened at any age; are of qiiiet disposition, very prolific and good mothers. :mKS. T. a. DYCHES, ORANCiER, Texas. THE I5EKKSI1IRE. The Berkshire hog may very properly be regarded as the standard hog of to-day. Other breeds strive to equal the Berkshire in the most valuable parts. In fact, many of the different breeds have had in their early history intro- duced more or less of Berkshire blood into them. These same breeds are the strongest competitors of the Berkshire to-day. The Berkshire traces his pedi- gree back further, perhaps, than any known breed of swine, lie is the purest 58 Berkshire Year j^ook. bred, and can be relied on to reproduce himself— if a pure bred pedigreed pig— every time. Of course, it is meant that he be used on high grade or thoroughbred sows. The Berkshire cross on other breeds always improves. It will im])rove any breed of swine. They are prolific, and none are more so. The sows have a reputation of raising all, or nearly all. of their litters. The litters are strong and growthy. and for this reason Berkshire sows raise a larger per cent, of their litters than "the Poland Chma and some other breeds. From ten or twelve Berkshire hogs 100 pigs may be expected. It takes almost twice that number of Poland sows to raise that many pigs. We know just what we are talking about. We have watched this closely. The next great point in hog breeding is maturity and size. This is one great reason why we handle and breed the Berkshire. If we did not regard them as the best breed of swine Ave would not be breeding them. There cannot be any question of their making as rapid growth as any breed— pigs 100 pounds at 100 days. Shoats at nine and ten months old weigh from 200 to 300 pounds, as farmers generally raise pigs. On grass, and especially clover, the Berkshire cannot be excelled. He is the best grazer of any bree*d. In the west, where many hogs have to follow cattle, the Berkshire proves to be the most satisfactory, because of his great activity. Then he is the best hog to market. Strong bone, active and able to take care of himself. JOHX B. THOMPSON, Plattsburci, Mo. For the purpose of improving the common swine of the country, no other hog can pe used to better advantage or with greater certainty of good results than the Berkshire. Having descended from so long a line of pure-bred an- cestors, he possesses in an unrivaled degree the power to stamp upon his progeny his own excellence of form and feeding capacity, as well as vigor of constitution, which includes ability to resist the encroachments of disease. Hence he is in almost constant use for the improvement of common hogs. The improved of Berkshires of the present day are a well defined breed, possessing in an eminent degree definite and valuable qualities and may be described as follows: Body color, black with smooth, i)liable, plum colored skin; hair rather fine, soft and thick; feet and tip of tail white with dash of white on face, and not unfrequently the nose white, as also some white on jowl; forehead and face broad, the latter dished, with eyes rather large and "very clear, and snout short; ears of medium size, thin and very soft and carried rather upright; neck short, broad on top, with jowl large and full; shoulders broad on top and deep through the chest; back broad, sides deep and nearly straight on bottom line; hams large, reaching well forward on back and down on hock, well rounded and deep through, causing the legs to stand well apart; these, as well as the fore legs, short and strong, and standing well on toes; tail tapering and rather fine and set well up. In regard to form, a modern well-bred Berkshire in good condition is symmetrical throughout, attractive in appearance and recognized at once as an animal of more than ordinary worth. ^ BERKSHIRE BULLETIN. QUICK FEEDERS. W. E. Spicer, of Harvard, Neb., is not only a good breeder of Berkshires of extra quality, but a very successful breeder of fat barrows for the market. Mr Spicer gives the following data in reference to a feeding experiment with the Berkshire sow named Number Seven 11055, of the well-known Romford family. He writes: "She had been fed and shown at the fall fairs of that year (1888). On October 7 she was weighed about 4 p. m., after having all the soaked shelled corn she would eat at noon, weighing 632 pounds. She was then put in a small open shed and fed cornmeal soaked in water from one feed to the next, generally using the dishwater from the house. She was fed three times per day all she would eat. She had a feed of pumpkins two or three times that week. She was fed at noon on October 14, and about 4 p. m. that day she was taken out of the shed and weighed 678 pounds— gained 46 I'he Berkshire Itoo. 59 pounds in seven days. The feed she ate was not weighed, but she had been fed from one barrel. I weighed the barrel and what was in it and then filled it as near as could like it was before. I then weighed it and found I had put in ninety pounds of meal. In the fall of 1890 I fed Homford IT. 15791 (American Berkshire Record). In this test I wished to see how many pounds of cornmeal were required to produce a pound of gain, so the sow was care- fully prepared and placed on full feed, the weighing being done in the even- ing each time just before she was fed. She was fed all she would eat at noon each time before being weighed. She was kept in a yard 32 feet square, with a good house in it. On Sei)tember HO she weighed 491 pounds, and on Octo- ber 7 she weighed 525 i)ounds, having gained 34 pounds in seven days. She ate 97 pounds of cornmeal and matter. The meal was soaked six hours. BERKSHIRE (QUALITIES. Prominent among the good qualities that make Berkshires highly es- teemed may be mentioned these: First— Great muscular power and vitality, which render them less liable to accident and disease than any others. Second — Activity, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers, hence returning a maximum quantity of flesh and fat for food consumed. Third— The sows are unsurpassed for prolificacy and as careful nurses and good sucklers. Fourth —Their pigs are strong and active and vigorous at birth, and con- sequently less liable to the mishai)s so common to them when very young. Fifth— They can be fattened for market at any age, and yet. if desirable fed to any reasonable weight, from six hundred to in some instances more than one thousand pounds. Sixth — Their fiesh is of the highest quality of pork and quite as marbled as that of any other breed, and much more so than that of several others. Seventh — Power of the boar to transmit the valuable qualities of the breed to his progeny, when crossed with others. — F. D. Coburn, Columbian Exposition Report. BERKSHIRE BREEDING DISTRICTS.

Ask any of them. The "Sc ithern Stock Farm" is read by up-to-date Stockmen, not the "one gallus" kind, that would as soon have a razor-back as anything' else. Our readers are buyers. Write for free copy and rates. 174 Berkshire Tear Book. NEBRASKA-THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By W. E. Spicer, Harvard, Nebraska. The Berkshire hog is fast growing in public favor throughout the west. The repeated, exhibits of good animals at the fairs, and the repeated victories of the iierkshires in open competition with all breeds at the leading State fairs, has done much to call general attention to the breed. The Berkshires exhibited of late years outweigh other breeds of same age, which has in a great measure broken down the prejudice and removed the erroneous im- pression that the Berkshire is a small hog. I think there will be an increas- ing demand each year for the Berkshires. WASHINGTON— THE BERKSHIRE OUTLOOK. By a. D. Hale, McMillin, Washington. The outlook for the greatest mortgage lifter in the world — the Berkshire pig — in the Pacific northwest, is very encouraging. At the Oregon State fair, all the breeders were taking orders for pigs. Many of them have been com- pelled to import breeding stock from the east, in order to keep up with the demand. The farmers of AVashington and Oregon have heretofore been de- pending upon the one crop system for their main support, and have found by sad experience that it don't pan out. East of the Cascade Mountains it has been wheat, wheat wheat; and west it has been hops, hops, hops, until our land and land owners are wheated and hoped to death, the fertility of the farm constantly being sent east, and the farm and farmer both growing poorer each year. The farmer of this country has got into a rut, and has been digging it deeper and deeper each year until now, by standing on his tip toes, he can just see out, and the only thing in sight for his salvation is the dairy cow and the Berkshire pig. And I predict that within the next two years, the American Berkshire Association will have on its books one hundred entries in Washington and Oregon where it has one now. This may seem a strong statement, but the circumstances will warrant that much of an in- crease. The interest and tax collector is the one thing that is harassing the life out of our farmers, and this is the only way out of the dilemma. What would an lUinoisian think of a farmer who hauled every dollar's worth of produce off his farm every year, and bought his meat in this State. Well, that is what our farmers have been doing, and they now see that it must stop, and they are buying brood sows instead of packed meat, and all they need is time to make the change, and my prophesy will be fulfilled.

SUCCESS ! SUCCESS NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS! - The American Berkshire Association succeeds — First — Because it represents the best Breed of swine. Second — Because the Association advertises the breed, and in every possible way advances the best interests of the breeders of Berkshires, Third — Because the Association expends all of its surplus funds in premiums at all the State and Provincial Fairs in Canada and the United States. Fourth — Because the Association paid in premiums at the World's Columbian Exposition and the State and Provincial Fairs each year more than all the other swine breeders' associa- tions combined. Fifth — Because the breeders of Berkshires are careful to breed only the best specimens and to sell for breeders only first- class stock. Sixth — Because the breeders of Berkshires are progressive and lead in all that pertains to quality, style and profit in the breed- ing and feeding of swine. Seventh — Because the breeders of Berkshires confidently believe that they are producing the most profitable hog for the breeder, the feeder, the packer and the consumer. Eighth — Because the successful breeders of Berkshires set apart not less than ten per cent, of the amount of their gross receipts for advertising in the live stock and agricultural press. Ninth — Because the successful breeders of Berkshires never fail to exhibit their pigs at their respective County and State Fairs. HK189-78
