NEXT YEARS HOG CROP.
The Most Profitable POrker In Far.
rowed Early In the Spring
and Kept Growing.

The most profitable porker is far
rowed early in the spring, and kept
growing fast during the spring and
summer. and fattened the next fall.
Hogs of any of the leading breeds
can be made to dress from 200 to $50
pounds at eight months old, and by
having the pigs come early in the
spring they make good killing hogs
without having to winter anything
but breeding stock. The sows should
be bred from latter part of October
to middle of December, according to
locality. For the southern and south
western states. they may be bred in
October, but for the north they
should be bred so as to farrow early
in April. Sows bred in December will
farrow about week earlier in April
than the date of breeding. The period
of CESSATION is little less than four
months.
As to which breed should be Sc
lected. the hog raiser may be to a
considerable degree directed by his
fancy, as all of the improved breeds
are good. and for the feed consumed
there is little difference in any of
them as to the prok-producing quail
ties. Some breeds are more prolific
than others, and by selecting sows
from a breed that farrow large lit
tiers, fewer sows are required to raise
pigs. 1 prefer the Chester White, as
they almost invariably farrow large
filters, and they are good mixers, SO
they give the pigs a good start, and
by keeping the pigs growing they
will produce as much pork at an
early age as any other. if not more
Some claim that the Chester Whites
are tcnderer than the black breeds
but / can not see but that they as
hardy as any other hogs. have never
had any trouble with their being
tender skinned.

MINING PROGRESS IN

The Herald appear to be over-capital-

zation is unusually modest. Some of the
best men in Durango are associated
with all the local companies of which
The Herald has any knowledge. Par
ticularly are the Three Metals and
Londonderry companies modest in
their capitalization. The Three Metals
has a capital OF 200, 900 shares, giving
all the money subscribed on the
ground floor. and 1870 900 shares of the
capital of 200, 900 shares to the treas

donderry has capital of $500 in
$500 shares of one dollar each, Civ
ing 100, 900 shares to the working fund.
The Three Metals offers a limited
amount OF its stock at 10 cents per
share. Its properties are situated on
l4ightner creek. about six miles south
of ORC Fino.
The Londonderry is Offering its

five installments monthly. Its prop

The development of the mineral re-
sources of the La Plata district has
been retarded more for lack of home
capital than anything else and partly
through lack of knowledge of the
actual merits of the district. 1t is
