RAISE HOGS If

try The Hog Is Most Pro
fitable Venture

Washington, July 1.-THE quickest
and surest way of augmenting the
meat supply next to the raising of
poultry is by raising hogs, the United
States Department of Agriculture
points out The hog is the most i'm
portant animal to raise for meat and
money. He requires less labor, less
equipment, less capital, makes greater
gains per hundred pounds of concen-
trates and reproduces himself faster
and in greater numbers than any other
domestic animal. AS a consumer of
by-prodJcts the hog has no rival No
other animal equals the lard hog in it's
fat-storing tendency. The most salts
factory meat for shipping long dis
tanceS on train, boat, or wagon, and
for long storage after reaching it's des-
tination is mess pork. There is no an
imal which produces more meat and
meat products than the hog.
Pork finds readily sale because pack
ers have discovered many ways of
placing pork on. the market in attrac-
tive and highly palatable form COM
Joined with most excellent keeping
qualities. There is no other meat from
which SO many products are manufac-

total value, In dollars and cents, of the
meat and meat products slaughtered in

States lis derived from the hog. Our
country leads 10y far all countries in

sumption Of meat and meat products.

tional trade in pork and pork products

Increased this proportion. According
to the estimates there was an increase
of 9,580,000 hogs between 1910, the
census year, and 1916, inclusive. The
increase at the end of 1915 was 3d.
148,000 over the preceding year,
while it is estimated that there was
a decrease at the end of 1916 of 3d.
| 600 hogs compared with 1915
/ If we expect to continue to pro-
| vide meat to foreign peoples as well
as our own people, every farmer must
put forth the best effort to produce
more hogs. Hogs can be kept prof
itably upon many farms where they
are not found today. Farmers who
already raise hogs can produce many
more for there is not much chance of
producing meat this year in excess
of the requirements.
More dairy farmers should raise
hogs for they fit lin especially well
upon dairy farms where skim milk,
butter milk or whey is fed upon the

| in a better position to raise pigs than
a man who has none.
