SOME EXAMPLES OF co-oPERA-
TIVE HOG MARKETING.

We can probably best indicate how
cooperative marketing works by Civ.
ing some actual instances. Let us
take two from Mississippi. In one
case recently reported, Is farmers
brought in 70 hogs. Market Agent
Patterson divided the hogs into three
lots as follows: Class No. 1, 175
pounds and up; No. 2, lao to ITS
pounds; No. 3, 40 to l4O pounds The
three classes we're indicated by diff
ferent colored marking paint and 9TH
erwise separated, and brought the fol
lowing prices, live weight: No. /, 1919
cents; No. 2, s $40 cents; No. 3, 8
cents. The report adds:
when each farmers hogs we're
weighed and classed at the shipping
point, he was given receipt for the
number of pounds in each class de.
livered. A copy Of this RECEIPT was
kept by the local bank, In whose name
the shipment was made, and on the
following Wednesday the farmer-ship.
pers received pay for their hogs"
And our second story is even more
explicit. Saturday, April 22nd. was
Hog Shipping Day" at Yazoo City.
and Market Agent Patterson was
there. Seventy farmers had started
with their hogs the night before or
early Saturday morning. and by the
hour named 1913 wagons were drawn
up with 425 hogs inside. The dis
patch continues:
These hogs were weighed Friday
morning, classed according to quality
and size, and each farmer given re
ceipt for the number OF pounds o.
hogs. live weight, Of each class, HI
brought. Four cars were shipped t
Natchez and sold to the packint
house at approximately the followin,
prices net: Good. heavy, corn.finishe'
hogs. 200 pounds and up, $3.50 hun

hogs, $50 to 200 pounds, $685.; ligh
weights. corn-finished, 1876 to Is

to 125 pounds, was sold to stockma
| at 6k to TN cents.
-Four days after the shipment wa
made the farmer-shippers received r,
turns from their hogs and were we
satisfied that the cooperative shil
e ment was a thorough success. The
