Fat Hogs Pay Best.

Many farmers have changed their
plans in feeding hogs of late years.
Some years ago farmers held and fed
heir hogs till they were year old and
weighing 800 to $50 pounds before
marketing them 1t has been found
that hogs over 7 months old gain in
weight much slower on the same feed,
and even an increased feed, and there
fore become much more expensive in
proportion to their gain than during
the first six or seven months. For
this reason and because of the market
demand for lighter hogs, they are now
marketed weighing 175 TO 200 pounds
As a general rule farmers who keep
good, pure-bred sires at the head of
their herds and provide fairly bal
anced rations of nitrogenous and fat
forming foods for the few months be-
core finishing, easily make { months
pigs weigh 200 pounds, and thus OBJ
tain the largest profits. The clover
field for pasture, with moderate corn
feeding, or alfalfa, cowpeas, soy beans,
or some other foods rich In protein,
secures these results. And so 1t Is a
rare thing to find year-old fat hogs in
the market any more, unless they are
some Of the older, breeding stock, which
it Is desirable to sell off for new blood
and different lines of breeding.
