PRICE OF MEAT
CONTINUES TO RISE
Adequate supply Of Good, old.fashten'
cd, Her@-Produeed Lard, sacof''
Hams and Salt Pork Essential.

Finishing-off hogs, either for home
slaughter or for the market, should
receive special attention at this time
on account of the unprecedented high
price of pork and pork PRODUCES
Never before, except during the Civil
War, have farmers been able to SOIL
their hogs for 10 cents per pound live
weight, and there has never been
time when there were such great OPP
portunittes for making money In the
production Of hogs for the Market
The fore-saghted farmer win also see
i to 1t that he has an adequate
supply Of good, old-fashioned, home"
produced lard, bacon, hams and salt
pork The price OF all kinds OF edi'
BILE fats. both animal and vegetable,
In constantly mounting, and will PROB
ably continue to do so for some time II
is much cheaper to produce both the
fats and meats at home than to de-
| pend upon buying, even with twenty
"~~t cotton. Too many OF our farm
As are tempted to abandon every
ether farm enterprise and risk every
thing on cotton. This Is too danger.
GUS as there are SO many factors
which may enter into both the pro-
| duction and price OF the cotton, and
again the margin of profit in the pro
duction Of hogs is fully equal to that
OF cotton. But aside from the price
OF either, both should be produced on
every well-managed farm In the COT
ton belt
! Packers at the central markets
make difference of from one TO Ave
cents per pound on the condition, OF
finish" OF the hogs offered for sale,
and there Is the same difference In
value to the owner who slaughters hts
hogs for homecoming. The crop
which is providing the largest part OF
the Fat deposited In the bodies OF eur
hogs Is sweet potatoes, although corn,
soy beans, peanuts, etc, are essential.
Many farmers make practices OF Rili'
Lag or selling direct from the sweet
potato fields, while others pen the
, hogs for several weeks and feed either
corn alone or corn with cotton seed
meal or tankage to haroen the fat
and bring the hogs to a prime condi-
ton. The latter method is unquestion-
ably the better as 1t greatly In
creases the value OF the carcass. II
10 impossible for hog to be brought
TO q prime condition when grazing,
as too much exercise Is required In
gathering the food and, after GER
tain degree Of fairness Is reached,
there will be no further gains, where.
az, II the hog Is penned and fed all 1t
will consume, 1t will still make salts
factory gains. E. l.. Jordan,

sf,Ws SHOULD FARRoW IN
EARLY SPRING AND FALE1
Plas Can Then Take Advantage or
Grazing Crops and Avoid Extremes
OF Congratulated OF SOW
Needs Careful Regulation.

In Louisiana the breeding OF sows
should be so timed that the spring lio'
ters will come about the first OF
March and the fall filters about the
first of September. At these times OF
the year the small pigs are less haoie
to suffer from the extremes or tempe
nature, and can take advantage OF the
grazing crops when in their prime
The care OF litter OF pigs should
begin before it is farroWed, because
the conditions to which the so" ID
subjected has much to 40 with the
strength and vitality OF the pigs at
birth. Feeding should be carefully
regulated for about week before ana
after narrowing. Overfeeding Is
common fault at this time, especially
Of feeds that are high in caroony-
drates and fats, such as corn ana rice
polish. These should be gradually 70
duced, and entirely eliminated several
days before narrowing time. The rsea
should not be of heating, or energy
producing kind, but rather cooling ana
laxative in It's effect Wheat bran is
a good feed during this period. ana
even this should be withheld for at
least twenty-four hours after farrow"
ing, giving nothing but fresh water
The pigs will not take great deai
of milk the first week, and no efTort
should be made to bring the SOW to q
flow Of milk until - pigs require II.
Too much milk at f. pot only causes
scours and digestive disorders in the
pigs. but often leads to udder trou-
bles in the SOW. The feed should be
gradually increased, but not brought
up to a full ration before the pigs are
ten days old. It is not necessary 10
begin feeding heavily as soon as the
nilk secretion has stopped, even
though the sow is thin In flesh. Her
system has gone through strenuous
drain, and should have a complete
rest for a time The nearsr she Is
kept In good physical corAtion on
pasture alone the better it will be Tor
her. BY the time her next CESSATION
period is half spent she will need sons
concentrated feed. The demands on
her system during the last half OF the
CESSATION period is greater than dar-
ing the first half; and the sows are
few in number that can meet this de-
mand on grazing alone, however COED
the grazing crop Is. A. r. Moist
