PROFIT IN HOGS.
Hon. W. S. RerndOn Tells His Experieneeafs
Hog Raising in Smith County.

Hon. W. S. RerndOn Tells His ExperiencefE
Hog Raising in Smith County.
THE GAZETTE has labored faithfully
for several months to induce the farm
ers of Texas to give more attention to
hog raising in order that Texas might
make her own bacon and lard and keep
at home the hundreds of thous ands of
dollars annually sent North for hog
products. That the efforts put forth by
this paper have not been fruItless is
evidenced by the unanimity with which
the state press has assisted THE GAZETTE
in its efforts. Not only is the press at
work, but the most prominent individ-
uals in the state have become inter-
ested i'll the matter, and the day is not
far distant when Texas in hog raising
and bacon making will be as she is in
all other thlngs-the greatest state in
the Union. The following statement
from the Hon. w. S. Herndon of Smith
county, published in the Tyler Democrat
and Reporter, is one of the many evil
dences of the interest people are taking
in the question, and is an instance
showing what can be done with hogs in
Texas.
81 began to raise blooded hogs in 1878 =
and continued until January, 1888, when
l sold the entire stock to George Ben
tick of this city, reserving four small
pigs from ii gilt. l butchered the four
pigs yesterday. Mr.. George Bentick
weighed and cut them up and the four
weighed, net, 1856 pounds. They were
one year old less one day, and were
raised on my premises mostly as seaven-
gers, having small feed of corn in addi-
ton till the last two months.
During the period of ten years often
raised hogs that weighed 800 pounds net
at one year old, and not one ever died
with cholera. The stock was prolific
thrifty and healthy. For many years l
planted COOLERS (pea nuts) and fattened
my hogs on them, and this food makes
the largest hogs and best meat in same
time.
''Thls is a good county to raise hogs,
and every one may, with little effort and
small money, raise his own meat. If
Smith county alone would raise her
bacon it would save at least three hun
dred thousand dollars per annum for cir
-eulatiOn among her people. 1t would do
more-the quality of meat would be
greatly improved and our home markets
would equal any i'll the land for good
healthy meat.
50 Mr.. Editor, ! have made this state
ment because requested to do so-not
with any reasonable hope of our people
being profited by the facts, because I
had these extra blooded hogs for tens
years. often published the fact, offered
pairs of the pigs at So, and 1 think sold
single pair, gave away several pairs and
finally sold the stock TO George Bentick,
and he informed me that he had made
$500 on the stock the first ten months.
Respectfully, W. S. HERNDON. -

THE PRICE OF CATTLE.

An Analytical Statement Showing the De-
crease to be Parallel With that of Hogs.
Having examined the table given above
somewhat critically, we are forced to the
conclusion that the fluctuations in the
price of steers cannot be explained by
the simple consideration of the number
of cattle in proportion to our population !,
or by combining this information with
the statistics Of the export trade. Dis
turbing conditions which have already
been referred to are the average value Of
corn, taking the country as a whole, and
the price OF hogs. To illustrate the in
huence of these conditions the following
table is added:

Cattle Disease in Pennsylvania.

A cattle disease, said by some to be
Texas fever and others black tongue, has
reached Huntingdon township, Pa. and
in the vicinity of Bethany there are
.nearIy one hundred such cases. The
deaths are very numerous and the loss
will reach $1,000 in East Huntingdon and
the Hemphiu townships alone. In the
vicinity of Reagantown, South Hunting
don township, it is a very malignant
type. and as high as ten COWS of some
farmers are down with it The cause Of
the disease has not been discovered, and
it is very contagious.

me Fort Worth Convention.

At the meeting-~f stock growers at San
Angelo last June Col. w. L. Black
originated and advanced the ideaof hold
ing a state cattlemens' convention, and
suggested Fort Worth as the proper
place for holding it. The idea met with
favor, and after corresponding with all
the cattle associations in Texas it has
been decided to call the convention to
meet in Fort Worth, January Z, 1890.
The object of the meeting will be to per-
feet means by which statistics of the cat
tie demand and supply can 1be obtained;
to ascertain the causes that haveleq to
the depression in cattle prices; TO ascer--
tain, If possible, remedy and apply it.
The indications are that this meeting Of
cattlemen will be the largest ever held in
Texas, as it will be attended by not only
the different Texas associations, but by
cattlemen from all the cattle raising
states and territorities west of the Missis-
sippi river.
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-17

the cattle and hogs that are marketed
each year, we can only nope to get
somewhat general idea of the supply and
demand and the relative fluctuations of
prices.
Now going back to the causes which
have led to the 1uctuation in the mean
price of steers, we find that the extra
ordinary advance of 1882 conceded with
an even greater advance IN the price of
hogs, and that in each case the price
must have been influenced to consider
able extent by the enhanced price of
corn. The largely decreased price of
steers in 1888 also conceded with an equal
decrease in the price of hogs. In 1884
we find a decrease of 80 cents per 100
pounds in the price of hogs, and an in
crease of So cents per 100 pounds in the
price of steers. This would appear to
be due TO the large exports of cattle and
beef products in that year. In 1885 and
1886 the large number of cattle in pro-
portion to population, the falling off of
the export trade, and the low price of
corn and hogs all eXerted a downward
influence on the price of cattle.
The price of hogs improved considera-
bly, in 1887, but the price Of steers de-
clined still farther. This was no doubt
the result of the falling off in our export
trade from S27, 800 1890 to S2l 1858, us in
1887. The slight advance of cattle pricesa
in 1883 comedies with the much greatefT
advance in the price OF hogs, but must
have been influenced also by the in S
creased exports of cattle and beef prod-3
ucts. The advance was very slight on
account of the large number of steefsa
mark tied in proportion to the stock 81
hand. With the decline E
prices the profit in cattle
raising has been greatly red uced,
and in many localities this industry has
been conducted at a positive loss. The
inevitable tendency has therefore been
to sell off the stock and reduce the bust
ness, and consequently the proportion
ate number of cattle marketed has been
much greater than during the year from
1881 20 1884, when the industry was pay
ing and the stock Oh hand was being in
creased. For this reason the markets of
the country have not yet felt the infM-
ence of the reduction of the stock of cat
tile in proportion to the population, which
the tables plainly show has occurred, and
which must continue at an increasing
rate from year to year.
The future tendency of prices of cattle
will probably be to advance on account
VI JiC 4lhpLOpdD4IALS VI luOICtio tiO
stock of cattle as rapidly as the popula
ton is augmenting. But this advance
will be slow and uncertain for a number
of years. 1t will be at least three years
before the stock of cattle has been re-
duced to the proportion as compared to
population which existed in 1873, and
then the mean price of steers was but
S4 25 per 100 pounds, or 81 cents less
than 1888. In other words, the price Of
steers for several years III the future Will
depend more upon the price of hogs, upon
the value of the exports of cattle and
beef products, and upon the proportions
of steers marketed, than upon Any
changes likely tc occur in the nunaber of
cattle per 1000 of population which, exist
in the country III Department of&Agri-
culture report. g
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-17

1t will be noticed from this table that,
as a rule, the mean price of hogs has
fluctuated in the same direction as the
average price of corn, hui not always in
the same proportion. There are some
apparent EXCEPTIONS to this rule; for in
stance, in 1882 the price of corn is given
as much lower than in 1881 and the price
of hogs as much higher. The same ap-
parent contradiction is noticed in the
wears 1887 and 1888. y partial eXplana-
ton of these exceptions to the rule will
be found in the fact that the price given
refers to the crop produced IN the year
named and not the average price of corn
for the year. Thus the hogs marketed in
1882 were fed partly upon the crop Of
1881 and partly upon that of 1882, so that
we should come much nearer the average
price of the corn fed to the hogs sold in
1882 by averaging the price for the two
years.
By constructing table on this basis
we will see that the apparent exceptions s
of 1882 disappears, whlle that OF 1883 ~
less marked:

A letter to the South Omaha Stock
man from Steele City, Neb. says that
twice as many cattle will be fed IN that
vicinity as last winter, or for several
winters previous. Cheap feeders and
abundance of corn are given as reasons,
to which perhaps might be added that
ever abiding faith that market figures for
beef will change for the better.

- The price of corn is evidently one of
the important factors which determines
the price of hogs and steers, as is demon
strated by the above tables, but where
number of influences are at work we
should not expect any closer relation be-
tween these prices than is here shown.
The question is a complicated one, and
