ABOUT HOG RAISING.

''Indomitable Farmer" Talks Practically
About this Industry, Which is Now A.
tracing Attention in North louisiana
TO The Progress.
With your permission, Mr.. Editor,
the "Indomitable Farmer" comes
again and talks to your audience
about the HOG. He is satisfied that
the hog and the farmer OF the Sunny
South should be more acquainted
with each other, to the vast benefit OF
the latter. The hog is the thrifty
farmers bank account. aud every
tiller of the soil should endeavor to
get this idea fixed IN his stubborn
mind. 1t may not be very noble but
let us all shout for 4 little while that
S'hog Is king" while cotton has turned
beggar.
Mr.. Editor, it was quite CRAFTY ing
to me to see so many representative
farmers last week crowding around
the pig pens at the fair, and there
express the determination to give the
hog fair chance in their future
farming operations. TO start with, a
good many purchases of excellent
hogs, raised at home and abroad,
were made by them, and we may
rightly expect proper appreciation
to some extent of the valae of well
bred hogs.
Now word to my brothers who
have taken q friendly notion to Mr..
Pork. Of course it is our aim to
rasr our own ham and bacon, and
max our own lard and picked pigs
fer. To be successful in this we
mus, raise pigs about MS cheaply as
they do North. Now, this we can do
easily if We go at it rightly Let
everyone g,t rid Of the notion that
one can treat we'll bred hog like
razor-back, but keep in mind that the
finest bred pig Will degenerate into .
hog that may look Is gfest deal worse
than its relative of the piny-woods,
and prove less profitable, if neglected.
The idea that one can raise hogs
protitably without making the proper
provisions for the quiet Development
of the animal, from the time it is born
till it is taken to the butcher, is g
mistaken one. A hog must be made
ready for the butchers knife at the
age Of FROM 8 to IL months, and
should then weigh from $50 to 400

pounds on foot. To accomplish thi>
we must have. first, a hog Of thrifty
tendencies. This is b qusli6cati n
possessed by the thoroughbreds; Sec
ondly, we must have constitution
upon which to build. This is a quail
ity of our common stock. To cpm-
bine thrift, or early maturity, and
health, or freedom from disease, We
must breed the thoroughbred to the
common stock. or at least to stock
with goodly portion of wild or COM
mon blood. Since the sire gives the
shape to the offspring we had better
breed a thoroughbred boar on com
mon, or better graded sows. sjFor the
raising of pork it is extremely doubt
ful that thoroughbred sows would
proye as profitable as the more CON-
mon stock. They surely will not do
it in the long run. A further re
quirement is proper sanitary condi-
tons, plenty of nutritious food and
A NEVER FAILING SUPPLY OF PURE
wATRR. A limited mule or horse lot.
as we generally find them in the
South, is poor place for lot OF
hogs, where they have to eat filth,
and live in filth all the time, and
quite often drink filthy water. Such
surroundings and conditions are the
precursors of the so-called hog
cholera. Give the hogs q pasture

visions, with h. gs weighing ESQ to
400 pounds CD foot, ought not to cost
the farmer more than one dollar IN
total, counting tho renting of land
for the pasture. Bermuda grass, also
red clover, is as good and wholesome
a food for young pigs as can be
found; 1t is we'll adapted to make
them grow bulky, aud give them a
good digestion for the richer food, to
be fed later on. Turned on cow peas
when 4 or 5 months old, or on Span
ish peanuts when about ready for the
butcher, and then hardened for two
or three weeks on home-raised corn,
we can produce pork equaled in favor
to the best, and a great deal more
palatable than the over-fat pork, pro-
duced by the exclusive feeding on
corn.J
Attending to hogs in this manner
may appear somewhat troublesome
to the neat planter, who is accns-
toned to handle only the peerless
staple of the South, bnt it will prove
great deal less burdensome than to
pay Interests and worry wherefrom
the money shall come to pay for the
mere necessaries of life.
