Time to Plant Hogs.

"Plant Hogs and Get Rich" lis the
new slogan of Colorado farmers. The
great demand for Colorado grown hogs
and the demonstrated fact that Colo
RADIO can grow cheaper and better hogs
than any other section in the country,
Is turning the attention OF farmers all
over the state to this profitable indus
try. For the dry land farmer hog
growing will prove a gold mine. 1t is
possible to grow to better advantage on
dry land than anywhere else. Peas need
but little moisture, in fact they do bet
ter where the land is not so wet. The
demand for information about hog grow
ing has become SO great that the Agri-
cultural College will put Professor Cot
trell in the field to assist those farmers
going into the industry with advice how
best to utilize their resources in this di-
rection.-Record-S Stockman.
Ebert county ranchmen are giving
considerable attention to hog raising,
but not half enough. Every cattleman
on the Divide should raise a few hogs
for the market. This country is admir-
ably adapted to hog raising and with
hogs at seven cents, or even five cents,
there's big money in the industry, and
our ranchmen should give it more atten-
ton.

value of $4,000. She says that her hus-
