CatIle anu sneep ranches nave De-
come common in ali the western states
and territories. Recently several
horse ranches have been started. We
also hear of'a goat ranch in Colorado
and goose ranch in Texas. Some en-
terprising citizens of St. Louis have
concluded to start hog ranch. They
have secured large tract of broken
and partially wooded land on the bank
of the Mississippi river, about thirty
five miles south of the city, where they
propose to carry on their operations
Much of the land is broken, but n con.
siderable portion of it is adapted 10
tillage purposes. The tract contains
large number Of oak and other nut
bearing trees. 1t is expected to derive
considerable profit from the mast the
trees will afford. The land is well
supplied with springs and streams of
pure water. 1t is not the intention of
the managers of the enterprise to raise
any cultivated crops for feed. The
ground will be kept in grass snd clover.
They will rely on corn raised on the
Illinois side of the river for food to
fattcn the hogs. The corn will be taken
over in boats belonging to the COM

1t is likely that raising hogs on n
large scale would pay well iu many
places where there Is not good water
communication. Many are now en-
gagged in exclusive cattle and sheep
production, but there are comparative
ly few persons who, give their exclusive
attention to hog-ralslng' A farm can
bo easily and cheaply ntted up tor hoS-
raising. Comparatively few buildings
are required, and these may be OF the
cheapest character. Adornment Is
wasted in buildings for protecting
hogs, Tight roofs ana dry hoorS are
all that is required. Inc latter may
be made of clay, concrete or mix
ture of gas-tar and lime and gravel
Much OF tho land should be devoted to
the production OF clover and tender
grasses to bo eaten BY the hogs uurlnS
