might be all right, but in the end
he claimed the type that is most
profitable to the farmer will be
raised; in other words, that the
farmer as a producer Of pork is
the man who ultimately deter
mines the matter Of type rather
than the packer.
To illustrate this point, he
called attention to the teach
ings of twelve or fifteen years
ago when the packers, many of
the swine journals, as well as
some Of the professors in our ag-
ricultural colleges strongly rec.
Ommedned that the farmers in

, Sest. Type of BOy for t e Farmer
It is not Always the Kind the
Packer Likes Best.

. In selecting the most profita-
BILE type of hog the farmer should
not get type and breed mixed.
This is the subject of an address
delivered before the recent meet
ing Of the Interstate Breeders
Association by H. F. Hoffman, a
breeder Of DurOc-Jersey hogs and
an expert judge.
To begin with, Mr.. Hoffman
wanted it definitely understood
that we can get most any type
of hog in any of the recognized
breeds, and that we can as easily
get them in one breed as in an
other. In discussing this matter
Of type, attention was called to
the fact that some men urge the
deSirability of producing the
kind of hog the packer likes best.
D This, according to Mr.. Hoffman,

lowest possible cost. Plenty of
pasture should be provided for
summer feeding so that the pigs
can receive their early growth
at a minimum expense. In recent
years it has been demonstrated
that corn can be hOgged down to
excellent advantage, and that
way can be made at lower cost
than where the corn is huSked
and fed to the hogs in the yard.
