Praise Of the Hog Sung
In Government Appeal
To Raise More Of Them

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The praises
of the hog as a meat-producing animal
are sung by the department of agricul-
ture in an appeal today to farmers to
raise hogs, hogs and still more hogs as
the quickest and surest way of increas-
ing the nations meat supply.
The hog is the most important ami
NAL to raise for meat and money" the
statement says. He requires less la
Dor. less equipment, less capital, makes
greater gains per hundred pounds OF
concentrates and reproduces himself
faster and in greater numbers than any
other domestic animal AS a consumer
of by-products the hog has no rival. No
other animal equals the lard hog i'm its
fat-storing tendency. There is no ami
NAL which produces more meat and
meat products than the hog"
The statement points out that there
was a decrease of $4,000 hogs at the
end of 1916 compared with the previous
year, and adds
IF we expect to continue to provide
meat to foreign peoples as we'll as our
own people, every farmer must put forth
the best effort TO produce more hogs"
