Thoroughbred Hogs Pay.

The most successful farmers and stock
growers usually breed from the best, =
and the rule holds good with hogs as well
as cattle A writer in the Cincinnati En-
quirer talks about breeding pigs from the
best boars %n This pertinent and forcible
language:

The practice OF many OF our farmers OF
breeding from scrub or grade boars. Ia

hogs ana those that have been bred hap

be found stock hogs a year old that will

hogs that al the same age weigh two hun

stock IS a public benefactor. and ought tt

be patronized and encouraged, for the
farmer cannot do without them. In th'
good time coming, more attention will bt
paid to this matter than at present. No
only should this question be discussed ii
the Grange, but the members should co
operate and purchase such animals as viii
