As TO THE BEST BREED OF HOGS
FOR THE FARMER.

The question Is often asked what
II the best breed Of hogs?" In an
swering this question, it may be said
there IL no breed Of hogs that ID
''best" for every farmer. That
which IL best for one may not be
best for another. In q general way,
the "bets" hog is the One the farm
ar likes. provided OF Is what his
market demands. Should his mark
ct want = hog Ct the bacon type, then
one or the other Of the breeds OF
that type. would be best In his case.
On the other hand, should the most
marketable be fat, or ard, hog,
then the most profitable animal for
him o-raise would be one or other
Of the lard types.
This Is matter which the farmer
will have to lecide for himself.
After the farmer has decided upon
the breed Of hogs which he believes
to be the best and most profitable
for him to raise, however, he should
then stick to that breed and endeav-
or to develop it % Its mot perfect
condition.
There has been. tendency, up to
the present, to change breeds fire.
Quently, and upon the slightest sug-
gestion, whether with apparent rea-
son or otherwise, before adequately
determining the suitability OF. each
as to the needs of the farmer, or
the requirements of his market.
This Is to be deprecated, as 1t is not
possible to get the most ont Of q
breed by continually changing from
one to another.
The most famous individua.s. and
the most famous herds of animals,
have been built up, developed and
perfected only by sticking to the
breed and getting the most out Of It.
There is plenty OF room, and sale,
for all the different breeds Of hogs;
but it Il useless for an individual to
try to raise. and bring their most
perfect development. all of them.
In the opinion Of the writer, there
will be an increasing demand In the
State for pure bred hogs of all kinds
for breeding and grading purposes;
and those who make speciality, each
of his own particular breed, will rear
the benefit Of increased prices for
animals Of the highest excellence.
