1his Is one of the best seasons OF
the year for building and repairing
fences. as one can go out Immediately
after soaking rain and set twice as
many posts as he usually can, because
of the softness of the ground.
Then the strenuous season that tries
fences has just passed. and their re-
pairing and building thus is more nee
essary. Also, II the ground should
freeze before the work is done, these
needed repairs cannot be done so cas-
lily or so efficiently.
BY doing all fencing, gate hanging
and repairing this fall. one will avoid
having these Jobs on hand when the
rush season comes on next spring. at
which time the work is apt to be
neglected or sighted in the hurry to
get to the field: so that the crops thus
are exposed to the stock more than
they should be through the entire
summer season.
Good fences insure the farmer know
ing right where he will find any stock
he may desire to see. They not only

For man to begin in the correct

for breeding animals. fencing, hog
houses and the establishment of per-
manent pastures.
The total cost of producing crop
of As pigs. which one should obtain in
a year from three good sows. will be
about sass. The cost per hundred
weight. estimating pigs at 200 pounds
each, would be about five dollars. or
five cents per pound. Under ideal
sible to produce hogs as low as three
to three and one-half cents per pound.
The average selling price for hogs
on foot in the South is at least eight
or nine cents per pound and often II
is much higher. Calculating the profit
on the produce of three sows with a
cost of five cents per pound and a
selling price of eight cents, the profit
per sow for a year would be S93. so,
