In telling Canadian farmers how TO make
good bacon hogs for the trade of Europe
w j. Falcoucr Of the palmerstou Packing
company gave the following advice TO feed-
I'm the arst place raise the right kind
Of hog We want lengthy hog with
deep sides, small head and narrow across
the shoulders Great care should be taken
In feeding hogs and caring for them. Hogs
should be kept scrupulously clean and dry,
and have plenty of exercise. Ihcy should
be fed regularly aud not given too much
at time Farmers should give their hogs
a variety of foods, and shonld give them
milk at least twice every day. shorts,
peas oats and barley are the best foods
for finishing hogs on. little corn mixed
with the other grains win not hurt, hut
Clover in summer and a few roots in win
ter are good to keep the hogs healthy. II
is also good plan TO throw fresh sod
into pen Of say hair 9 dozen hogs once
successful hograisers feed sulphur and
charcoal occasionally all the year round.
Hogs should be marketed when they
weigh from 100 to 200 pounds, aud should
not be too fat. They should reach this
weight when they are from 9 ia Z months
old No matter what the price Is farmers
should sell their hogs when they are ripe,
and should endcayor to market batch Of
formers viii get the high price as wen as
the low price and viii have good average
price for the year.
Another point we want to particularly
emphasize is that farmers ana drpyers
should on no account strike or poke hog
they are taking TO market. Anybody with
switch can knock $50 Of the value Of
carload Of hogs In five minutes. Let us
market. but cudeavor To handle them as
quietly as possible. Don get excited your
self and on any account do not get your
hogs excited, and do not run them
