A Little Hog Talk.

There is no question but that the
man who introduces blooded stock
into any Earnings community is
public benefactor. This is fact not
fully realized by the farmers. They
are more likely to give him sneers
and jeers than to aid him by friendly
advice and patronage. A breeder of
blooded stock should not be without
honor either IN his own country or
abroad.
l recently attended the butter
makers convention at Lincoln, Ne
braska, where there were delegates
present from all over the United
States. We all had good time and
listened to great many interesting
and instructive lectures. While there
| also attended the Swine Breeders
meeting and listened to some very
instructive hog talk. The meeting
was addressed by the Secretary of
Agriculture, Mr.. Wilson. He told
what a good thing the breeders of
the United States had done for the
country in making the hog what he
is today. He said instead of having
hog that you had to feed for two
years before he was fit to sell. the
breeders had improved him till today
you could put him on the market at
from to 10 months. l met great
many Of the old breeders of the state
of Nebraska and they all thought
theirs was bright future for the
thoroughbred hogs. Respectfully,
j. G.. HARDMAN.
