PUEE EEED BOAES AEE MORE EFFICIENT t By Joe Haaga. Ass t Secy X. D. J. It. A.) After an exhaustive inquiry the Bureau ofAninial Husbandry, Unit ed States Department of Agriculture, announced that' pure bred livestock has about 40 perTent greater earn ing power than scrub stock. This fig ure takes into account all breeds of livestock. In the case of hogs the ex act figures are 3S.3 per cent. These figures are based on information ob tained from farmers who had used pure bred boars for an average of nine years. About TO per cent of the females maintained in the herds of the farmers reporting wore grades, crop's breeds, or scrubs. Had all the females been pure breds, it is prob able that the superior earning power of rure bred hogs would have been even more pronounced. This superior earning power of pure bred hogs is reckoned on thp basis of utility alone and does r.-t take inro account the increased sale of breeding value of the animals. The superiority of pure bred hogs is due principally to: Better conformation and quality, increased production, more economical production and earlier maturity. From these facts it is readily seen that through use of pure bred boars our farmers can in crease their pork production profits at leaf 3S per cent even though the sow herd be composed of grades. By using a pure bred boar the farmer can produce pigs of better conformity and quality. This insures a higher selling price on the mar ket. The pure Tired boar will in crease production that he sires larger and strong litters which means more pounds of pork per sow. In addition the progeny of the pure bred boar makes greater gains for feed consum ed thus lessening production cost. And finally, the pure bred pigs ma ture more rapid!' and are ready for market sooner. To those who are not using pure bred boars at this time, these figures should be cause for action. It shows clearly a loss of 3S per cent in pro fits due only to negligence or lack cf information. And it is a loss that can easily be remedied. By adding a pure bred boar to the herd the farm er can insure himself of nearly 40 pe rcent greater returns in raising hogs for market. These figures are worthy of thought an dconsideratipn.
