was in Buncombe county September
1, 1911. 1t was inaugurated by the
Blue Ridge Berkshire farms. upon
plan so novel, ingenious and meritori-
Gus as to create a nation wide interest
among stockmen, the agricultural and
metropolitan press and to elicit from
the department of agriculture at
Washington a most cordial support.
The Plan.
Briefly outlined, The Blue Ridge
Berkshire farms proposed to furnish
to any approved applicant in the coun-
ty pair of pure bred Berkshire pigs
from two to three months old. These
pigs to be cared for until they reached
the age of twelve months. AS these

public scales. Cash prizes were offer
ed to those who developed their pigs
Berkshires to the highest point as at
tested by the scales weight being the
sole measure of excellence.
The farms contracted that the sow,
titus developed and weighed, should
be the property of the raiser, provid-
ed the raiser had done his full duty in
developing the property of The Blue
Ridge Berkshire farms The contract
further provided that the farmer
should breed his SOW exclusively to
herd boars at The Blue Ridge Berk
shire farms during her entire life
which service was to be furnished free
OF charge. The contest was to be
known as contest No. 1 and let out be-
tween September 1. 1911 and March Is
1912.

cessful contestants remarkaing ina,
he kept his feeding quarters as clean
as parlor.
The mortality among the pigs was
very low, only IL having died during
; the period, or eight per cent. This
| low death rate was due to the fact
that the pigs were widely distributed
and in pairs, and to the careful atten-
ton given to them. For after all tests
were made, the best medicine for a
log is clean quarters and abundant
wholesome food; and the second bes-
medicine for a hog is clean quarter.
