from this sort of a stand Is as desif-

ships more hogs annually than any
other station west of the Rocky
mountains. Statement made by an
Official Of the N. P. Ry. Co." We
take this statement as a fact. But
Why is il SOP Certainly because
more hogs are raised in the country
tributary to Cottonwood than in 9TH
er sections. Why are so many hogs
raised there2 Because there is mcu-
ey in them. and the farmers have
learned by experience that there is
more money in handling them than
in any other system Of farming. The
