THE OUTLOOK
OF the Swine Industry i'm Southern
Idaho.

Viewing this section from a pork
standpoint, l must say l am very fav
orally impressed. With the abund-
ance of sunshine the Almighty has
given Southern Idaho, we can sue
cessfully raise two litters a year.
The feeds we grow has proven that
we can compete with the Middle
States in feeding pork. This being
the fact, with our long season of
evergreen pasture and innumerable
days of sunshine, gives us a slight adj
vantage over the Middle states in the
swine industry.
The Twin Falls North Side tract is
just breaking in on its sixth year,
and being one of the early settlers,
coming here first as a landseeker in
December. 1908, from good old Iowa,
and with my car of goods the next
following March, starting a herd of
pure bred swine in the fall of 1909, |
feel l have right to express my eX-
perience. Being interested from the
start in the hog, l know of no breed
but what will do we'll in Southern
Idaho. At present all the leading
breeds are we'll represented. 1t is
surprising to drive over the tract and
find not farm but what has more
or less hogs in the lots and pastures.
To be sure, it is not everyone that
starts in the swine industry that
makes a success of it. Oftentimes
failures are caused by carelessness,
neglect, ignorance, and ineXperience.

brains as the hog business (That is

All that is required is just a good

improvement and great numbers are

speak for the man that is, producing
pork for market, but do not favor
self feeders of any kind for the pure

hogs are started with a self feeder,

In presenting to you on opposite

ton of our Guernsey stock ranch, we
take great pleasure in assuring you
that we have not spared time or mon
ey in grouping together what we CON
slider the foundation of one of the
best herds of Guernsey cattle in the
United States. In line with our
stock we have caused to be built and
equipped a dairy barn with all the
latest and most modern improve
ments. Our housing capacity of 60
separate compartments is worthy of
caring for the best stock that money
could buy, and we conscientiously and
honestly believe this has been done
In purchasing our stock we have not
only thoroughly Investigated the
breeding OF each animal but have
covering any that were not only good
individuals but that their breeding
was beyond question, assuring any
one who may purchase stock from us
that they get only the best. Our
stock is all eligible to stay for the
big show, having been selected and
closely scrutinized by the best judges
of Guernsey cattle in the United
States and the Isle of Guernsey.
The dimensions of our dairy barn
are so feet by 100 feet. three stories
high, shingled with fire proof ashes

exclusively for the storage of the
choicest hay, the second floor for the
storage of mill stuff and the ground

electric power. The first floor, or

The stanchions are all of the latest

giving them plenty of exercise, and a
little creosote put in their water oc-
casionally. Mr.. Hill has kept a COM
plete record of the sales of his hogs
which is open to inspection at any
time by anyone interested. In ans
wer to our inquiry regarding his sue
cess the past season, Mr.. Hill said:
l suppose it is fair to say that l
have had good luck with my hogs the
past year.
From five brood sows l got two
iitters apiece with an average of from
to pigs to the litter. Or to be
exact. these sows brought me IS pigs
in period of II months from two
borrowings.
A little over half of these were
marketed in March and April last and
brought me from $12 to $14 per
head The balance were sold last
fall and brought from $11 to 81 ,
per head. The total amount realized
from these sales in 1914 was
$11OS.79.
The pigs sold in the spring were
fed 400 bushels of wheat and from
$50 to 175 bushels of corn and had
very little pasture except a little il
late fall. The corn was fed in tho
ear and the wheat was ground with {

state, consists in conditions that are
ideal Two very successful litters
can be raised year. Our month of
March has proven the very best
spring month for narrowing the past
five years l have been here. There
was plenty of sunshine to give the
young pigs a good start before we
got the spring rains in April and
May. Another advantage in having
March pigs is, one can have his crop
ready for the high prices of October
Last October hogs were selling at
our home market at $685. per hun
dred, while the later spring crop
which is going on the December and
January market brought 500 per
hundred.
There is standing and cordial in
vitation and our excellent country
to branch out in for all who would
like to start herd of swine. AS |
stated, all breeds do well here. No
breed has the advantage over the

hogs is very often the result of poor
management of the herdsman or
owner. Hogs with the very best of
pedigrees lily fed and kept in small
dry lots soon lose the value of that
good pedigree.
1t looks very much as if the swine
industry was increasing very fast in
all the western states. Starting a
breeders ad in the leading farm pa
pers in 1911, my ad was, at that
time, one of or 10 advertising hogs
as breeders. Today it takes to 4
pages to accommodate the breeders
of swine. Still there is room for
more. Respectfully,
