seventy -nve POUNDS, at ten TO twelve
months old; but, owing to their att
tractive appearance, would probabl.,
sell for five to ten cents more per hum
dred than the average of same size
hogs that We're much younger.
The characteristics of those termed
large sized are,extremely large frames,
unusual lengtn of body; legs and feet
large, hair and general appearance
showing a tendency to coarseness.
When fully developed these may be
made to weigh from six to eight hum
dred pounds. Hogs of this character
usually grow rapidly under good at
tention, while young, and consequent
ly are much harder to keep in market
able condition than the small type, re-
quiring from twelve to sixteen months
to SO far develop as to fatten easily.
This necessitates a long continued
course of feeding (extending through
extremes of heat and cold, to mature
them, which so increases the cost of
production as to greatly. reduce the
profits OH them as feeders.
The ideal feeders in my Judgment,
should be animals something near au
average between these two extremes;
of slightly above average length
stocky feet and legs, broad back
slightly arched, thick hams and deep
sides; animals that, with good ordi-
nary feeding, will keep in good flesh
from pighood to marketable age, and
when ready for market, at eight to ten
months, will weigh from two hundred
and twenty-five to two hundred and
seventy-five pounds. I believe there
is no more important quality in the
makeup of the hog intended for pork
at good profit, than that of easy fat
tening at any age. If the market un-
advances, or the price of
feed gets TOO high, the hog should be
in condition to sell at once. The inn
portant point with the pork raiser is
the type of animal to use to produce
the most profitable feeder. 1t is well
known that the tendency of the corn
fed hog as producer is to degenerate,
get smaller, with each succeeding
finally resulting in the
small sized, small boned type, too
small to produce the desirable porker.
Then, in order to keep up the stand-
ard to the proper size, it is necessary
to add new blood from those animals
that have been fed for the develop
ment of bone and muscle, in feet AMI |
legs, as well as for larger size OF

unable TO understand the delay and
they condemn all Americans indiscrim-

1t will take years to overcome. Even
riots are threatened. Trouble is al
most inevitable unless the tension is
relieved. Even wealthy land owners
cannot command ready cash. and
many Americans are pennileSs, being
glad to work for their board.
