HOGS AS MORTGAGE LFTERS
More Money Made In Raising Swine
on Farm Than In Any Other
Anlmal--Eneny 10 Cholera.

(By GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural college)
There should be- and usually ls,
more money made In raising hogs on
the farm than other animals, Aside
from cholera, hogs are less subject to
disease, reproduce faster, and make
better gains per pound Of feed con-
sumed. The annual increase Of
horses, cattle ard sheep ranges from
50 to 100 per cent, The increase Of
hogs should be from 500 to 1900 per
cent. The SOW has the advantage IN
bringing forth two litters year and
farrows several at each litter
Doctor Warrington In Chemistry
on the Farm" states that for each 100
pounds OF feed consumed the different
farm animals make gains as follows
Cattle, nine pounds; sheep, II pounds,
and pigs, 2S pounds Pigs then make
