How to Raise Good Hogs.

There are thousands of farmers who
know how to raise good hogs and do
raise them: and there are thousands
more who shoul |, but do not.
No person can have good hogs unless
he has the ri hit kind of pigs to COM
mence with. A pig that requires from
iiteen to eiyhteen months to make it
weigh $50 lbs is not what should call
q good kind, for the reason that there is
not such an lawful difference between
the amount of iced required to keep
hog in growing cond ton, or to put on
flesh. AM one who IS raising hogs
wants those that are ready to market
f ON the time they are weaned till they
are one year old. After that age don't
tn nix there is any pr fit in keeping
them, unless for breeding purposes.
Ny ideal hog is one that is black, or
nearly so, in color, with ears tina lop
down over the eyes, short no e with
ring al avs kept in il, a heavy under
jaw. and broad shoulders and hams.
With such a pig to commence w tn can
make it weigh at nine months from 295
to ;375 lbs. and haven't failed to do so
for the last nine ears. have my pigs
come about the first of May. / let my
sows run n good white clover pa sture
and give them all the co n they want to
eat until the first of uly. Then shut
up the sows and let the pigs still run
the pa ture for few days. fe them
all the corn they want until they are
weaned. After that I feed them about
half the corn they want until new corn
is fit o feed, then ! snap a whole load
and til ow it all n to them at once, in
their pa ture. When they eat that up I
give them another load. About the first
of Decem er shut them in small yard
with floor in one co ner to feed on;
from then on feed them all they will
eat, and eat clean, every day, as l have
found hogs won't do well in close quar-
tiers w tn iced lying before them all the
time. l give them all the water they
want. fresh, every day, but hardly ever
any m IL, as feed that to my calves.
have followed this plan in feeding
for nina years, with always the same re-
suit have at the present time fifteen
pigs that came about the first of last
May, that weighed last night 1922
lbs or an average of 32l' lbs. each. I
have sold them for tx dollars per cxt.,
While one of my neighbors had hogs
that only averaged 35l lbs. at eighteen
months. and he sold them on the 18th
inst. for so.23 per cwt. will let read
ers answer the question: Toes it not pay
to raise good hogs?-Cor. Prai,se Farm
