GOOD QUALITIES
OF PURE-BREDS
Value of Hogs Depends Largely
on Care and Attention Given
The1n-More Uniform In
Color Style and Finish.

(By E. e. AXI1NE. Missouri)
The value of pure-bred hogs de-
pends largely on the care and atten-
tion given them. Care and attention
pay well when given to any kind Of
live stock. and If we have pure-breds
we naturally feel more interest In
them an will take better care of them
than II they were grades of inferior
quality.
Purebreds breed evener. are more
uniform in color. have more style and
finish. They feed quicker, mature or
develop earlier with less fat than most
grades. This makes them more profit
able for the farmer and feeder to
grow and feed and OF course they are
better sellers.
AS breeder for more than twenty
years, l have found that 1t pays to
breed pure-breds and as a farmer and
feeder for over thirty years l know
It pays well to raise the best for feed.
ing purposes.
A car load Of pure-breds of any
breed of a Uniform style and color
will always command a premium on
the market Pure-bred dams are
generally Of quiet and gentle dis
position and can be easily handled
at farrowing time. which Ia a great
help In saving litters. especially when
farrowed in bad weather, In winter
or early spring. when 1t is very essen
tial that the young pigs be looked aft
er.
Pure-breds Of the best quality are
ready for market at any age. A pure
bred Of from 100 to $50 pounds will
often sell for more per pound than a
heavier and older hog

Feed for CoMa.

While there is difference In the
value of feed consumed by different
cows In the same herd, this difference
in most herds will be less than $5,
and will rarely exceed $40. yet the
returns from the different cows In the
herd will vary from $50 to $50. or, to
state 1t another way. 81 worth of
feed will produce less than 81 worth
of milk from one COW. while in the
same herd another will produce more
than 81 worth of milk.

borhood your pure-breds are ready
