 CENT HOG INCREASE.

Pork production, to attain the 15 per cent increase declared needed during 1918. according to the agricultural production pro- gram recently announced by the department of agriculture. will be increased economically by breeding for two filters a year, by saving through better care larger number of the pigs far rowed. by growing pasture and forage crops. by using wastes, especially town and city garbage, by proper rations of concentrat- ed feeds, by the use of self feeders, by pasturing alfalfa and other legumes and other forage crops. by hogging down grain sorghuins and corn, by finishing hogs to heavier weights, up to about 275 pounds, and by pre- ventive measures which will keep hogs free from cholera. tu- berculosis, other diseases and parasites.
