FOR PROFITABLE HOG RAISING.

To make hogs profitable We must
provide plenty Of range that We may
Keep their yards clean and sanitary.
To be successful a man must be
particular with his breeding stock.
The breed is of less Importance
than the surroundings.
It will pay any hog grower to dip
all of his growing pigs. at least once
a month to keep their skin In good
condition and free from lice.
It does not pay to allow the pigs
to run through a wet pasture.
Health Is natural, disease is I'M
natural, health is contagious as we'll
as disease
Every change in feeding should be
gradual and with an eye open to note
the results.
It is no more our mission to keep
the hogs healthy than it is TO plan our
equipment SO that they may keep
themselves SO.
Movable hog houses have come to
stay.
A successful hog grower must do
some thinking for himself after he
reads the writings OF other hog grow
ers.
III economical pig feeding we must
make the most of our grain feeds by
ningling them with coarse cheap
foods. thereby reducing the cost Of
the ration.
Do not overlook the Importance OF
making the pigs food palatable from
the beginning to the end Of the sea

We had these for some tirno, "a. AIJ.l,
