HOGS YIELD QUICK RETURNS
Require Less Labor, Less Equipment
Less Capital and Produce More
Meat Per Hundred Pounds of
Grain Than Any Other
Animal

No form of livestock responds more
readily to proper feeding and hand
ling than hogs.
At present, time when grain feeds
are particularly high, and when the
outlook for higher pork prices is ex-
ceedingly good, little extra labor
and money for the housing and feed
ing of hogs will certainly be well
spent.
Hogs need shade in summer and
housing in winter. Energy and heat
are required to keep the animals body
warm when exposed to cold and hence,
it requires more grain to produce the
extra fat that is to furnish such.
Pasture crops widen the margin Of
profit. The use of pastures for hogs
most largely determine the difference
between profit and loss. The judicious
use of pastures many times cuts the
cost of production in half.
Alfalfa leads sweet clover and all
grazing crops for hogs, though, how
ever, where barley, rye, or wheat can
be grown, a good margin of profit
may be expected.
Enough grain should always be fed
to keep the pigs growing rapidly and
the breeding hogs in fair shape.
Rapid gains are usually the cheap
est gains. Gains made while the pigs
are under one year of age are the
most economical, as at this time it re-
quires less grain per pound gain than
when older.
The hog requires less labor, less
equipment, less capital and produces
most edible meat per one hundred
pounds grain than any other animal,
reproduces faster and in greater num-
bers, giving returns on money invest
ed more quickly than any other form
of animal except poultry. 7. Tin

The Liberty Loan and Germany
The military masters of Germany
have maintained an attitude of as
sumed great contempt for America s
war preparations and Americas par
ticipation in the war. The Kaiser,
Hindenburg, and Hertling have all
voiced this contempt. Yet there are
evidences in plenty that in fear of
Americas entry in force into the war
next spring Germany is massing ire
mendous forces on the western front,
is preparing to hurl masses of men
into the jaws of death in desperate
effort to reach conclusion before
the might of America becomes effec-
tive
The two Liberty Loans in this coun-
try no doubt had great psychology
