The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1902-06-01

The first COW census occurred
in the United States in 1910, since
then they have been counted
every ten years. There arenow
thought to be about $4,000, 900
dairy cattle in this country,
which allows one COW for about
every four persons.

ADVANTAGES IN HOG
RAISING,

We are asked by a subscriber
from North Dakota, who states
that he has been pursuing grain
raising, and that he is anxious
now to take up stock raising with
it. Or, in other words, to changc
to notwithstanding. He didu't
like having all his eggs in one
basket, and he asks for the ad-
vantages of going into hogs, and
how they compared with other
live stock.
An exclusive grain farmer Can
not maintain the fertility of his
soil if he sells the grain instead
of feeding it and returning the
!ertillzing qualities to the soil,
Exclusive gram raising impover-
ishes the soil in time.
While the farmer who feeds
his coarse grain to live stock inn
proves the productive capacity
of the soil, which enables him to
produce larger crops year after
year.
In going into the live stock
raising there is no easier step
from grain raising than to begin
with swine.
In the first place they can be
produced and put on the market
as quickly as a crop of grain, and
by having them farowed at the
right time of the year, they will
be disposed of before winter
comes on, and having but the
breeding stock to carry through
the winter. Consequently it re-
quires less outlay for buildings
to protect and care for swine.
While one can indulge in expen-
sive affairs. yet comfort and pro.
lection can be secured at a very
little expense compared with
other stock,
On every farm there is a GER
tain number of swine that can be
kept at almost no cost, as they
are an economic department on
the farm, they are the cleaners
in the grain field. They convert
the bi-product of the dairy into a
profitable merchandise. They
are preventavives of waste in
grain, slops, roots and fruit.
The hog has been the means of
paying more debts from farms,
building better buildings, bring
ing more comfort and increased
the wealth OF more farmers than
any other live stock and have
won the well-carned name of
mortgage litter, farmers friend
and the gentleman that pays the
bIlls,-Ex.

HIGH PRICED LAND AND
LIVE STOCK.

The rapidascent of land values
in the central west hasgiven rise
to many new problems. Methods
employed ten years ago which
gave good returns on the outlay
of capital and laborare now high
ly impracticable in many cases.
There are those whoare attempt
ing to meet the crisis imposed by
the new condition by selling off
their animals and devoting more
attention to the cultivation of the
soil and grain growing. This
NAV last for a time and we are
not prepared to say that it may
not be a good policy in individ-
ual cases where there is no taste
or instinct for farm animals, but
as a general proposition only a
few can afford to engage in this
type offarming.
We have enough confidence in
the character of our people to feel
assured that livestock is to be
given a more prominent place on
the average farm IN the future
tnan in the past-notof the same
indiscriminate quality as in the
past, however. Our best feeders
OF today could not put II high
priced feeding stutfs into scrub
animals at a profit, and if thistle
case how much more is it true
with the averageman? The first
and all-im portant step tobe taken
is the improvements of our farm
animals. Better machines must
be employed to consume our
grain, otherwise we must market
our r:;w produce instead of feed
ing it.
The improved machines for
the consumption of our high
priced feeds of which we speak
are the result of no accident, nor
r they beyond the reach of
the average man. The intro
duction of one cross of good
blood will work wonders among
grades. The average man must
take advantage of this, as a few
.cso afford to replace a grade herd
by a pure bred one. 1t must be
done by the use OF the pure bred
sire. True it is that such are
commanding good prices. but
these are not by anV means pro-
hibitory. The prospective de-
mand for good animals for some
time to come will iu%stifyany man
in the purchase of a good regis
tered male to use on a grade
herd. Only by working in this
direction shall we be able tomakc
our large investment in the land
profitable. There is no possible
danger of a slump in prices for
some time to come.

thrive as well there as they had done
in the str=sms.
