business as to kill. Or If they must
ship in, let them get their hogs from
the west. Idaho, for instance.
Here Is a Tip.
'Not long ago wrote to the expert
ment station at Bozeman for thor
oughbred boar and got a fine one,
raised right there. The station will
accommodate farmers in this way.
This year lot of farmers in Fer
gus county will start in the hog busi-
ness and in two or three years hog
raising will be a great big industry
here. OF course they cannot rely on
the local market to take their hoes,
for 1t is a very narrow one. That
should be left to the men who just
raise few hogs, from six to a dozen.
We will soon be in shape to ship out
hogs, just as they do from the Da-
kotas, running a through hog train to
the coast and taking a car of feed
along. "The Portland market is big
one and is expanding. I think it can
take all we can raise. Now the Da-
kota farmers are able to ship to the
west coast and do at least as well as
shipping to Chicago, and we will have
some advantage over them in the way
of freight as soon as the railway de-
velopment is a little further along.
A Profitable Business.
"Hog raising is profitable and the
returns are quick. / sold 80 hogs in
December. the average age being a
little under seven months and the
average weight 208 pounds. / sold
these right on my ranch at IS.
Il always figure in getting on the
market when the pigs are little over
six months old and / can raise them
here on alfalfa and ground wheat Just
as well as l can on any feed in the
east. If we get pigs weighing more
than 200 pounds at eight months we
are doing very well. Thus far the
facilities at our place have been very
limited, but l am getting houses and
other improvements and expect to be
able to handle them in the future in
excellent shape.
Il think alfalfa is one of the best
things on earth for brood sows. From
'eleven sows l raised In one year 1O9
pigs, and that is going pretty well in
any country.
Good Price for Wheat.
II raised $500 bushels of wheat on
old oat ground and there was lor
1t would not have netted me more
than so cents bushel, and on it fat
tened and raised $3,15 worth of pork
so figure that mixed wheat netted
me about dollar bushel.
