WELL-BRED HOGS GIVE BETTER RESULTS
THAN ANY OTHER BRANCH OF LIVE STOCK
SPLENDID SPECIMEN
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
No branch of live-stock farming
fives better results than the raising of
well-bred swlno when conducted with
a reasonable nmount of Intelligence.
Tho hog Is one of the most Important
animals to raise on tho farm, either
for meat or for profit, and 110 farm Is
complete unless some hogs nro kept
to aid In the modern method of farm
ing. Tho farmers of tho South nnd
West, awakening to the merits of the
hog, are rapidly Increasing their out
put of pork and their bank accounts.
The hog requires less lnbor, less equip
ment, less capital, and makes greater
gains per hundred pounds of concen
trates than any other farm animal,
nnd reproduces himself faster and In
greater numbers; nnd returns the
money Invested more quickly than any
other farm nnlinul except poultry.
In the trucking and mlxcd-fnrinlng
sections of the United States hogs nro
used to consume various unmarketable
substances. Tho vnluo of milk Is
known on every farm, nlthough It may
not be fully appreciated, and any one
who has fed pigs knows the keen ap
petite they have for milk and Its prod
ucts. In the neighborhood of many
lurge dairies pork production hns be
come a very prominent nnd lucrative
supplement to the dnlry Industry. Tho
hog Is also a large factor In cheapen
ing the production of beef. Hogs ure
placed In tho cattle feed lots to utilize
tbt onrn nnd other foods which the
cattle have failed to digest and which
otherwise would be wasted. Hogs fol
lowing steers In many cases have In
creased the profit per steer by from $0
to $0. Farmers and hotel and restaur
ant owners are using kitchen refuse to
produce salable pork. In fact, as a
consumer of by-products the hog has
no rival.
However, this propensity In mnny
Instances Is being taken unfair advan
tage of through Ignorance and lack of
care. Milk products, animal offal, etc.,
which contain dlsense germs, especial
ly those of tuberculosis, are given to
hogs. This practice not only results
In' sprendlng disease but causes loss In
the hogs themselves through condem
nation at slaughter.
Hog-Growing Sections.
The first place In hog raising In the
United States Is easily wltli tho corn
growing sections, where corn Is tho
first grain thought of when the fatten
ing of hogs Is considered. It Is, how
ever, fallacious to argue tlinj: hog rais
ing will not give profitable returns out
side of the corn belt. Tho corn .belt
has great "advantages for economical
pork production, but It also has Its dis
advantages. The cheapness and nbun-
dance of corn In this section have
' often led farmers to use It as tho ex
clusive grain feed. Breeding stock so
i feci docs not thrive well and Is not so
' proline as when given n varied ration,
and when used for fattening, an ex
clusive corn diet Is not generally prof
itable. The work of the agricultural
colleges and experiment stations dur
ing recent years has done much to
Bhnw breeders nnd feeders the undoslr
ablllty of this practice, and tho In
creasing price of corn has forced farm
ers to economize In Its use as much as
possible.
The few states comprising tho corn
belt are the source of supply for a
grent amount of swine products, espiv
plnliv hums nnd bacon, that are con-
j sinned In other portions of the coun
I try. 1'et the advantages of these corn
belt states are little, If at all, superior
, to those of many others outside of that
j district. The South has an abundance
ot vegetation. Cowpeas, soy beans,
i velvet beans and peanuts are leguinl
' nous crops peculiar to that section
which have great value In pig raising.
Corn grows readily In all parts of tl.e
South, and In the subtropical soctjons
the experience of feeders with cassava
.seems to Indicate that It has conslder-
able value for pork production. In
addition there Is generally an abun
dant? water supply; the climate 's mild
.and there Is a long period dtirlnR which
'green feed Is available; thus the ex
' pense of shelter and winter feeding Is
greatly lessened. These conditions,
giving a long period of pasturo and
outdoor life, enhance thrift and with
proper management Insure great free'
dom from dlseuse.
Tim Kust Is peculiarly adapted to
hog raising In view of tho fact that
markets for fresh pork and cured
products may be found In local com
munities as well as In the larger cities
and the various roast resorts. As re
gards feeds, corn Is being grown suc
cessfully In the EuM, and In some sec
tions the average yield per aero Is
greater thnn thnt of the middle West.
Clover, bluo grass, und many other for
nce crops especially adapted for swine
production grow rapidly In nearly
a very sect loo of the Kust. In the truck
OF BROOD SOW.
ing sections there Is wasted annually
n vnst quantity of unmarketable prod
ucts that might be used with profit In
feeding hogs. The dairy districts
offer an advantage to the hog raiser by
furnishing such by-prodUcls as skim
mlllt nnd buttermilk, which nro espei
clnlly relished and profitably utilized
by growing pigs.
In tho extreme West the alfalfa of
the Irrigated valleys and the clover of
tho coast districts ofTer u splendid
foundation for successful pork produc
tion. In most of these regions there
Is an abundance of small grain, partic
ularly barley, that mny often be fed
economically, while In some localities
corn Is a successful crop.
Location of Farm for Hogs.
Tho selection of n region Is not ot
paramount Importance In hog raising
In tho United States, for swlno nro suc
cessfully and profitably grown. in prac
tically all localities and on almost any
type of soil ; still, If thu breeder Is freo
to choose a location the following
points should be considered:
An Ideal location is on n well
drnlncd fnrm possessing a rich soil
thnt will produce grasses and other
forage as well as the grains needed for
fattening hogs. This does not mean,
however, that only those farmers hold
ing rich, level lnnds bhould raise hogs,
for as a .matter of fact hogs are most
easily handled on farms thnt nro
somewhat rolling. For the production
of forngo crops tho rolling farm Is
'ofteif as good as tho level one, and it;
often has thc added advantage of
shade and a better water supply. Thu
hill farmer does not hnve the best sltu
atlon In all things, but In many In
stances ho litis certain advantages
which he does not appreciate.
It Is an udvantngo to locato In a
hog-ralslng community. There nro
mnny small problems In management;
which cannot bo touched upon In a
general discussion of hog raising, but
they mny be lenrned through actual
experience In one's own community.
In such enses the older breeders huvq
for a long time been in contact wjth
local conditions, nnd n now man liiny
prollt by their experiences without
spending several years acquiring ono
of his own. Then, too, If u wholo
community will raise n certain grade
or breed of hog, It can obtain a repu
tation for Its product as n community
such as an Individual never could hope
to win.
The question of n market must al
ways be considered, especially the fa
cilities for reaching It and tho typo of
hog It demands. Most communities
have boon successfully connected with
the large central markets by the rati--roads,
but theso will be of little avail
If the roads to the stations aro poor.
Good roads are of inestimable Impor
tance, for, among other things, they
ennble the fanner to market his prod
ucts at any and all times, thus taking
advantage of any fnvorablo fluctuation
In tho market prices.
Number of Hogs for a Farm.
This question must bo determined
by a study of local conditions nnd tho
typo of farming. The maximum num
ber of hogs per acre Is found on fnrms
chiefly or wholly devoted to the rais
ing of thnt class of stock; as, for ex
ample, In tliu stnto of Iowa, where It
Is quite common to see farms averag
ing n number of hogs to the acre, al
though the nverage for the entire otato
Is one hog to every threo acres of Im
proved farm lund. Under ordinary
conditions hogs return tho largest
prollt when raised to utilize wnsto
products, and when kept for this pur
pose alone the number will depend
upon tho quantity of waste products
to bo consumed. Skim milk from
dairy herds; shattered grain from
grain fields; Unmarketable products
from the truck farm ; undigested grain
In the droppings of fattening steers;
and many other minor wastes on tho
arage farm nro examples of food
stuffs which would be wasted were It
not for their utilization by the thrifty
farmer for the production of park. In
order to utilize some of these prod
ucts, It Is necessary to have a number
of pigs on hand for a relatively short
time on account of tho peilshablo na
ture of theso feeds. The rest of tho
year tho fattening pigs and tho breed
ing stock must bo maintained upon
feed raised expressly for their con
sumption, und willo they aro not kept
at a loss during this time, still the
greatest prollt Is derived when they
are eating their cheap feed In the
form of waste products, and the num
ber of hogs which can utilize the waste
to the best advantage should be the
limiting factor In determining the
number of hogs to the farm. On farms
In tho corn belt where hogs are
raised simply to market tho corn crop
on the hoof, tho number Is controlled
by the amount of corn which can prof
itably be raised to fatten them,

board box t.o assure It safe arrival at
tho front.
In addition to this parcel post service
to the troops, the war department will
undcrtako to carry Christmas parcels
for the American Expeditionary Forces
provided rucIi parcels are sent "caro

not more than two cubic feet In volume,
well strapped, and with a hinged or

Parcel Post Limit Seven Pounds.
It will be noted that parcels weigh.
!ng seven pounds but no more enn be
lent through the post olilce department
ill the way to France.
The twenty-pound pnrcels which are
ntended for Christmas gifts nnd which
ire to be delivered on Christmas day
ire sent by the war department from
ts port of embarkntlon at Hoboken,
N. ,T. These parcels, which must not
fxceed twenty pounds In weight, enn
De sent to the address given In Hobo
ten In any wny that tho sender
:hooses.
Of course the rost ofllco department
"ms been handling tho smnller Christ
aias packages all the way through to
France, but In order to Insure their de
livery on Christmas morning It wns
necessary to mail them by November
Ifi. However, the fact that the mailing
tvns too late for delivery on Christ
aias day does not mean that packages
cannot still bo sent by parcel post
They can be sent nny day In the year
it this rate of 12 cents for each pound
6ont, anil this rate holds from what
ever point In the United States the
package is sent.
How Packages Must Be Addressed.
Packages for, the soldiers must be
addressed to the lndidual, with his
company nnd bis regiment and then
must be added the words"""Amorlcnn
Expeditionary Forces." It Is not nec
essary to add the name of thu country.
It will be noted that In tho Instruc
tions given above and prepared In tho
second assistant postmaster general's
nfllce nothing Is said peclflcally con
cerning tho kind of things which may
be sent to the soldiers and Chilians
connected with tho expeditionary
forces. It Is perfectly proper to send
RUgar, provided It Is properly wrapped.
The reason sugnr ts spoken of hero
Is because there seems to have been
Bomo misunderstanding about It.
Mutches must not bo sent In any cir
cumstances. Neither must anything
Inllamnmble,' except, of course, ordi
nary packing material, bo Included,
nor must there bo nny chemical or
fresh fruit In the packages. Candy

It Is necessary that the parcel post
packages weighing up to seven
pounds shall be wrapped so that the
post ofllco authorities may examine
their contents. Tho rules for the
packages which the war department
sends are given explicitly In the above
olllclaf communication. It is desired
to accentuato tho fact that parcels up

TREE PLANTING NEEDS CARE
Appearance of Grounds as Important
as House Plans, Interior Decor-
atlons or Furniture.
While house plans, Interior decora
tions and furniture play n prominent
part In the life of tho new home build
er, care of the grounds about tho house
should likewise bo given consideration,
particularly as regards tho planting of
trees to trim up the general appear
nnco of the house.
In tree planting great care, foresight
and Judgment are required, suys it
landscnpo artist. Tho selection of
oting trees, their proper setting apart
and their euro after planting make
beautiful grounds possible. In shade
tree planting as In tho construction of
a building, the plan for the completed
work should bo determined In advance,
for tho trco planter must picture to
himself how his work will look u great
number of years litter and with him It
rests whether thu result is to be ono
of satisfaction or regret.
In making selections one must bear
In mind that tho trco must possess cer
tain characteristics to be desirable. In
tho llrst place Itmust bo hardy, capa
ble of withstanding unfavorable condi
tions of city life such as poor soil,
drought, smoke, gas, heat and dust, eas
ily transplanted and propagated. It
must have u straight stem, a rounded
well tilled head, well developed roots
and be symmetrical In growth. They
must to a great degree bo Immune from
hisect pests, retain their foliage In
good condition through the summer un
til Into fall nnd bo clean in their hab
its of growth. Tho Ideal shade tree
must also be of medium growth and
long lived. The desirability of devel
oping good-sized sliado trees as soon as
possible after planting is admitted, nnd
It Is unfortunate that tho trees grow
ing most rapidly are the most undesir
able. NEVER TOO SOON TO BEGIN
Start Is All That Is Necessary In Plan
ning House That One Some Day
Is Going to Build.
There nro two kinds of people who
nro Interested In tliOj question of build
ing houses: Those who have built one
house und Uvo In It, and those who uro
living In some one's .else house. A
pretty comprehensive statement, but
really, who Isn't Interested In tho mat
ter of building n homo?
Jones has a house of his own, and
he Is concerned with tho thing he pos
sesses, says an exchange. Smith, wlio
owns no house, is concerned with some
thing he Incks. Jones Is homesick only
when ho Is away from home. Smith
can never bo homesick in nny place oth
er than his home. Jones Is nn owner,
a master, a llogc lord of. lands and all
thnt is therein. Smith Is a tenant, a
payer of rent, a slave of tribute. Jones
dwells on the right sldo of the door.
Smith Is eternally wishing that ho did. ,
It Is never too soon to begin planning
that houso which somo day you aro go
ing to want to build. It Is never too
soon, but sometimes too late, to save
the money for a start townrd It. Tho
start Is all that Is necessary.

that he was tho person specifically'

prayer published In the same paper
applied to the plaintiff:
"Tho Knocker's Prayer: Lord, plenso
don't let this town grow. I've been
here for ninny yenrs, and during that
time I have fought every public Im

me, oh Lord, to see thnt In spite of
my knocking .tho town Is growing.
Then, too, more people might come
here, which would cause me to loso
some of my pull. I ask, therefore, to
keep this town nt a standstill, Hint I
may be one of tho chiefs. Amenl"

Flshlnn on Sunday.
Sunday fishing, which has long been
looked upon as sacrilegious In the Isle
of Man, threatens to loso somu of Its
terrors for tho "unco guld," notes an
exchange. Until recently the North of
L'nglnnd and Scotch llshcrmen engnged
In tho Manx herring trade hnvo kepi
Sunday so rigorously that they have
remained In port from Saturday morn
ing to Monday afternoon. Fishermen
from tho South, resenting tho loss ol
two night's Ashing, have tried to break
through the tradition and n Fleetwood
boat put out to sea ono Sunday eve
nlug recently, returning tho next dnj
with a good catch. Tho buyers at first
looked nsknnco at the herring as "Sunday-caught,"
but finally thoy were noli
at n fair price.
