This it the breeding on a ' large scale of pure bred hogs for the improvement of herds everywhere, and which the farmer, on his trip to market, can see and buy at moderate prices. Heretofore all buying of fine pedl gved hogs has been done at public saleV the selection at any sale not being too wide, and the intending purchaser to attend them has been forced to journey considerable dis tances, frequently to fail to find what he wanted, or the price too orohibitive. Now, hog growers will be en abled, when in the city on other business to go out to the Skinner ranch and look over a large variety of stock, for it is intended to keep on hand four large foundation herds of the leading breeds. The ranch is within three miles of the stock yards, at Ralston, and is reached by paved road and street car line. The finest of breeding stock will be installed . there. Erom $100,000 to $200,000 will be put into hogs, the best that can be bought, and selected by the best experts and authorities. A purchaser of stock at the ranch can be absolutely sure consequently that he is buying the highest grade pedigreed stock to be secured anywhere. ' The hogs will be sold at moderate cost, com mensurate with cost of production, fpr it is high prices and large pre miums that has deterred thousands of farmers from establishing herds of pure-bred hogs for tock pur poses. The common . practice has been to sell a pure-bred at a price, including premium, about five to 100 times the cost of production.
