THE RACcN HOG
A Growing Demand for the Moder-
utcIy Lean Hog.

A Growing Demand for the Moder-
utcIy Lean Hog.
Swine growing circles are very full
of discussion at present anent the new
type hog supposed to be needed to
meet the requirements of h marker.
Stock yard papers are especially IN
Sistent in the matter. and the DroverS
Journal of Chicago says that the Amer
lean hog is too much fat. Breeders
have turned their TO getting
an animal that would mature early.
and feeders have worked TO get as
many pounds Of gross weight as posi-
bic for each pound of corn fed. The
result has been a perfect animal lor
lard making hut II that - not c:ipa-
bic Of producing a high grade or meat
The Journal declares that there II IL
demand for the long, smooth. moder
ately lean hog, weighing 100 to 40
pounds, to make small hams ana Mgh
grade bacon. but it complains THAT
they are seldom found in the market
Packers are willing to pay Il premium
for such hogs and there would h" Il
steady demand for them If they could
be had in quantities. The OMAHA
Packer also takes up the same subject,
declaring that while our w market
just SO much pork product,
the surplus must be taken by foreign
markets. principally those of tn"
United Kingdom. England being tn"
largest consumer. The English to ~
will not take fat meats. hat buys :
quantities and pays good price
lean pork. Denmark being the &
source of supply. Tho reason Tor tL'S
is not because Denmark can produc"
more cheaply. hut because they con-
suited the taste Of the market Il sup
plied il with the lean meat it desired.
All this and muca more To the sam"
effect is said by these and other
stock yards papers 10 impress upon
the Western farmer the idea that II
farmers want good prices for hogs they
must raise good ones. There Is pfooa-
hlv a rood deal in the idea, and 1t Is
not unlikely that the future demand
will be for somewhat lea&rr meats
han areanow furnished by the West
ern hog. hut there Is still more III the
idea that the market wants what 'lle
farmer has not got, as the rule, ana
that it pays him low prices FOR that
which he has in abundance. una
corn makes fat hogs. and that is the
situation now. Accordingly, the fat
hog that is plenty is discounted
the lean hog that Is scarce II as a
premium. Reverse Il conditions anu
we would. perhaps. witness the re-
versal OF the discount and premium.
