Hogs are Persistent Farm Profit
Makers.
A prominent stockman recent
ly said that if he had $500 which
he wished to double in the short.
est space of time he would put
it into brood sows. 1t is well
recognized that no other class OF
animals has paid for more farms
and farm improvements. There
are some definite reasons why
this is true says R. C. Ashby, Uni.
versity Farm. There are also
some particular advantages
which the hog possesses and
some places in which he is par.
ticularly useful on any farm.
l. The market demand is al.
ways good.
2. The pork produced on the
farm is largely a by-product and
does not require a large cash
investment.
8. The hog offers quick re,
turns on the money invested in
his production.
4. It produces more market.
able meat from the same amount
of feed than any other farm ami.

per cent of the grain behind

6. 1t pays the highest returns

etable waste.
Gathers shattered grain from
the stubble.
Consumes small potatoes, pump

Utilizes pasture with profit.
Markets grain on the farm.
Livestock.
If you have ten head of cattle
in your barn consider each ami.
NAL as living machine. For
these machines to make the most
profit each one must be kept
running at top speed. That
means proper feed, good care and
not necessarily expensive barns
but comfortable, including good
ventilation and light.
The profit Of our common stock
can be increased 40 per cent by
proper feed and care and good
ventilation. Feed is short this
year and many have necessarily
sold off some of the poorer ones,
but next year even with more
feed the same practice should be
followed so the feed supply on
most farms will be sufficient To
keep the remaining animals at
top speed where they can make
