Hog Raising.

In no other branch of farming, per-
maps, is the principle of supply and
demand" mere strikingly displayed than
in the one named above. With every
era of good prices lev impetus is given
to hog raising, and q corresponding de-
cline in the business is evident as soon
as the prices become lower. In conse-
Qnence, there is d successive shifting or
changing from one extreme to the other.
Sometimes an over-supply, than a lack.
This is looked upon by some as simply
the exapgera ion OF the true condition
by some unprincipled buyer. But such
is not always the case. indie d, it is
eve the case where farmers observe,
read and think for themselves. But
there are some 80 credulous that they
could easily be led to almost any con-
cluslon.
When hogs.are worth 50, 81 and IS per
hundred, 1t is easy to convince any man
that there is money in them, and
straightway men rush into the business.
But there oon comes a drop" and
they Mt n conclude that hogs are non
bonum and retire disguised.
When, therefore, is the proper time
to invest either time, labor, or capital in
hogs?
/ believe at all times. But there
should be care exercised that the begin
nings be not too large. Do not invest
too mach before you fully understand
the chow" of the business. 1t is always
we'll to have your ~stock" we'll in hand,
that you can "load" or UNLOAD" at
your pleasure. But be prudent. Read
and keep posted. Have your supply
alwaysas nearly rs possible proportioned
to the demand.
