most prominent breeders i'm the United /
States every day, cOnversing with
them and hearing their ideas and
opinions on these subjects lis not able

charge him and get one who can.
Show me an industry that is not
being promoted for the money that is
in it, 1t is the mighty dollars we are
all after. While we are trying to make
a little money for ourselves, we are
also trying to make money for you.
If we cannot give you value received,
we don't want your business. We
want our patrons to succeed above all
things, for how long would you con-
tinue in the business and be our sup
port unless you were prOSpering and
making money? We wish to deal with
you in manner that will please you
and make you a permanent patron
of our paper. We wish to show you
results that will please you and make
you money. If our methods do not

Mistakes in Raising HOgs.+ have
discovered mistakes in selecting and
feeding hogs by visiting the stock
yards and watching the hogs unlOaded
Scrappy loads would pour in and take
their places, then a nice load, then
mixed hogs. These had many good
ones, with just enough bad to hurt
their sale. One can often find the man
with his hogs and can get him to tell
his secret. l have often done this. | l.
remember once having a load of fairly
nice hogs at the yards at indianapolis,
and was surprised to notice the buyers

white hogs l bought proved to be a

1t also happened that they ruptured

sfble with them it is necessary to
have a good breed and to take proper
care of them. We have found, i'm
COleman's Rural World. two articles
on the hog business which we copy
believing that they are of real value
to you. The first is on the prospects
for profit in hog raising:
If man had attempted to tell the
ments in hog raising that have taken
place since then, he would have been
classed as a fit subject for the lunatic
asylum.
Would you believe it if the writer
would make the statement that the
hog business is only in its infancy?
asks G. Nj. Miller i'm Western Swine
Breeder No doubt many who read
this will say he is only trying to hum
bug the people and work them for
more advertising, or he is trying to
boom the hog business. Others no
doubt will agree with the writer
Whether you agree with me or not, it
makes no difference. 1 would ask just
one thing and that is this please bear
this i'm mind for the next ten years and
see if | am not right.
Did you ever stop to think of the
rapid rate at which our population is
increasing? Did you ever stop to
creasing which eat pork? Some one
has got to produce the necessary ar
ticle to satisfy hunger Will they pro-
duce it from hogs that necessitate
one years feeding to produce 200
pounds of eatable meat or will they
produce it from hogs that will make
200 pounds of eatable meat as eight
to ten months of age? This is what
the fine hos breeder lis doing. Ten
years ago, when the best sales that
were made only averaged from $40 to
$50, you could hear men say it will
not last long; but today our most
prominent breeders are making aver
ages three and four times that high
and you can still hear the same re-
mark. Have | not a sound foundation
to repeat myself again and SAY the
hog business is only in its infancy?
Never before has the future of the
hog business looked half as bright as
it does at the present time. Certainly |
it will have its ups and downs. but
when it drops a little it will only be
to rebound and soar the higher Show
me any business that has not had
reactions and l will show you a busi- |
ness that every one would like to be |
interested in. They are not to be |
found
Not many years ago the East was
the center of the hog business Today
Illinois and Iowa are the center. |

the South and West have bought more |
good stuff this year than was ever
