QUICK PRODUCTION or MEAT
Swine Afford Opp0rsMniEy 0f Realizing
Profit Quicker Than In Amy
Other Way

After all Is said and dOns regarding
the necessity OF increasing the meat
supply the fact remains that meat
can be produced quicker and In great
er supply by hogs than In any other
way. While sheep and cattle win give
an annual increase OF from so 70 100
per cent, the swine win give from 500
to 1000 per cent. Likewise, while cat
tie are two years In getting ready for
market, hogs can be ready in six to
eight months.
On the other side OF the argument is
the fact that the hog is useful for meat
production only. while sheep are used
