The Heaviest Hogs in the World.

Medium light weight hogs are what the
market wants, says a Western exchange.
They fetch the best price every time
They are also the most profitable to the
farmer, as every pound OF weight added
above eco pounds costs more to produce
than it will sell for. Still the interest in
heavy hogs is undated, and we are asked
for the authentic records. The heaviest
hogs are grown in Burlington county,
New Jersey, where one farmer in 1883
raised sixty hogs averaging 420 pounds
each three weighed over 500 and forty
four over 400 pounds The hogs were fed
on skim milk and ground feed. In 1885
another farmer IN the same county raised
drove of twenty, averaging So pounds
including the extraordinary weights Of
1919, 1867 1885 and 1928 pounds. The
same farmer killed hog in 1883, which
dressed 1890 pounds In 1878, thirty
seven pigs averaged Alb pounds, which
was then an Unprecedented local record.
n hog named Columbus with live
weight OF 1892 pounds was slaughtered in
New York city in 1859. The skin was
saved and stuffed.
The hogs first referred TO, averaging
ago pounds, sold in Trenton, n. j.. for
Slf9L56 or sc. per pound. They were
cross of Poland China, Chester White
and Jersey Red ana their average age
was less than / months. They were fed
on an average for the first $50 days about
100 pounds daily of GROUND rye; for the
next seventy-tive days 300 pounds of
ground rye and shelled corn per day and
for the last seventy-five days zoo pounds
OF corn meal, with about $50 pounds of
skimmilk daily besides. The average
cost Of the grain was Sl.20 per hundred
weight the total cost being 81 ,ll6 This
left a balance of 56 to pay for the
pasturage, milk and the first cost of the
pigs. The manure is estimated to cover
the item of labor. Has thif record ever
been exceeded!
