Hog Market is Strongest
in April and September

A study of market prices OF fat
hogs for q period of tea years
shows that the market varies from
''highs" to slows" during certain
months IN the year. Highest
prices usually obtain during the
months of April and September.
The intervening months show
lower prices, June aud December
representing the extremely low
months.
The price drops IN late fall and
early winter because the spring
farrowed pigs which are finished
on the fall corn crop are ready to
market at this period. After this
period the price rises, reaching
the highest point about April,
due to the fact that there are few
fat hogs to market at that season.
Following this time pigs far
rowed the previous fall begin to
arrive, the run being heaviest
about June reactlng IN cores
ponding low market price. The
price Is generally highest In late
August or Septem ber since both
pigs and feed are scarce at that
time.
A careful study of markets and
prices, said T.. P. McCann, of the
Pennsylvania State College, will
enable farmer to teed his pigs
III such way as to have them
ready for market at the period
of high prices
Pigs farrowed in the spring,
for instance, may easily be made
ready for the September market
provided they have access to good
pasture or forage crops aud are
gwen IN addition heavy gram
feed rom early June throughout
the summer.
