RAISING HOGS
IN COLORADO
EXPERT ADVICE IN REGARD TO
MAKING A GOOD
STATE.
PAYS LARGE PROFITS
BEGINNERS SHOULD GO SLOWLY
UNTIL THEY GAIN
EXPERIENCE.

By II. NJ. Cottrell. Superintendent of
Farmers Institutes.
For capital, labor and time required
there is no business Of any kind In
Colorado that is paying larger profits
than raising hogs khere the grower Is
an expert. AS high as 300 per cent.
net profit has been made In six months
under ordinary farm conditions.
The possibilities OF so large profits
have induced many farmers and busi-
ness men who have had no experience
with hogs to go into the business.
Many OF these beginners with no
knowledge have started on a large
scale and have lost money. Handling
hogs profitably requires skill and ex-
perience and the beginner should
start slowly and not get these at too
great a cost.
Select any one of the four breeds
you like best-Poland-China, Berk'
shire. Duroc-Jersey or Tamworth.
Get a good judge Of hogs to select
for you from one TO five sows, not
more. Select good individuals that
come from prolific strains on both
sides.
With careful management from IL
TO 20 pigs should be marketed each
year from a prolific, mature sow.
The beginner should study his hogs
closely. becoming acquainted intimate
ly with their habits, their likes and
dislikes. learning what they need and
what is bad for them.
Cheapness In production is the first
point to be mastered by the beginner
In his breeding he should work for
large litters, early maturity and quail
ity.
Starting with one sow. II will pay ia
buy mature one that has shown that
she will produce good pigs and raise
eight TO ten at litter. She should
have two litters a year.
Cheap shelter can be made with
straw, sod or boards. The beginner
can watch his small lot Of hogs care
fully and learn how TO make then
.row rapidly at least expense,
II any trouble occurs II can usually
be seen in n small lot OF pigs before
II III past curbing. When there is q
loss II can not be heavy and the grower
gets his experience cheaply.
The second year three or four Of
the best SOW pigs should be saved
with their dam.
The third year the grower should
have learned enough about growing
hogs to be able to handle ten sows and
their produce and after that he should
know enough TO slowly increase his
hog herd TO the limit OF his farm.
Cheap shelter and forces should be
used until the profits from the hogs
will pay for better ones. No large
building should be erected until hogs
have been grown several years ON tho
farm and. the breeder is sure Of what
he wants and where he needs TO 10
cate Il.
Sows should be kept MS long as they
usually have large pigs, n greater mum
bcr and pigs with more vitality than
nm immature, growing SOW.
Starting with one SOW. she will b1

how large II may become II viii pas

USED CHURCH AS scAooLRooM.
Proceedings That Somewhat Aston.
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether TO regard the matter in the
light OF desecratlon or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by man
who stood at the lower end OF tho
aisle. walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip second time he scarcely gave
them a thought, but when the trio
started around the church a third time
and the man called out, Step little
more briskly, please" he began TO
wonder, and presently made inquiry.
Il hope you won't be offended" the
man replied. Il am physical culture
instructor. am teaching these young
ladies to walk. have already taught
them to walk In the street. in tho
drawing room, In the theater and every
place else they are likely to find them
selves. am now teaching them to

walk there properly. Some lope, somo
swagger. some skip. others adopt
mincing gait All these styles ars
very Inappropriate for church. A dig.
niiied. subdued gait alone Is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church Is
the best place for pupils in walking to
receive practical instruction. therefore
have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton.
What next?"
But he said no more Till the walk.
Ing exercise was ended. Then he fol-
lowed the class TO the door.
