If there ever was a time within
the period of ten years running back
to 1902 when the prospects for good
prices for hogs twelve months ahead
we are right not at the door opening
to that high price period. Reports
from all over the country, especially
from the corn belt, indicate that not
more than so per cent of the spring
pigs were saved during February.
March and the early part of April,
and that being the case, there Is go
ing to be a shortage that will send
prices up,
While there are some farmers who
do not favor the practice of raising
fall pigs, under certain circumstances
the practice is advisable and profit
able. 1t is not a god idea to raise
two lltters year from gilt, but 1t
is no hardship on n well matured
SOW, and her pigs will make good and
profitable growth If properly fed and
cared for.
The item of greatest Importance
in this connection relates to the
sleeping quarters for the pigs that
must be used.
The fall pig cannot take pot luck
and come through with a profit for
him owner. Individual hog houses
may be used to excellent ADVANTAGE
so that expensive quarters are not an
absolute necessity. The man who
raises say 100 spring pigs ought to be
able to carry through one-third Of
this number of fall pigs. on the lat
ter. income is realized at a time when
there are few other forms of farm
produce to market so that in this
way we might say 1t is carrying out
the idea Of rotation of income.
