Good Profit in Hogs.


No other form of livestock raising
is so profitable as hog raising for the
average farmer The hog has often
been referred to as the Mortgage
Litter" and he no doubt deserves such
title. It does not take as much
capital to start into the hog business
as it does into other forms of live
stock raising, with the exception Of
poultry raising. Furthermore the
hog returns the amount of money in
vested more quickly than other live
stock investments. He is also an
animal that multiplies rapidly and
for this reason it doesn't take SO long
to make material increase In meat
products.
The hog is an animal that makes
very economical use of the feed given
him. He will turn into meat feeds
such as kitchen slop, table wastes,
vegetable wastes, skim milk, milk,
and other waste products that other
kinds of livestock will refuse to eat.
He can and should be raised on cheap
pasture and forage crops, with lit
tie grain ration, until the last six or
eight weeks of the feeding period.
Considering the present price of
feeds and the price of live hogs the
farmer is getting more than he has
ever got for his trouble. There is no
doubt but what the price for fat hogs
will continue to be high, owing to
the ration between the price Of corn
and the price of live hogs as estab-
lished by the u. s. Government.
In addition to the price of fat hogs,
there never was better prices for
purebred hogs of all kinds: and there
never was such demand for breed
ing hogs. The demand exceeds the
supply by far, and will likely con-
tinue to do so. It's very good time
to get into the purebred business, as
well as fat hog production.

Hog Survey and Hog Sales Day.

The hog survey and hog sales day
have been postponed on account OF
the continued extreme cold. Just as
soon as the roads are open and tele-
phones working normal the survey
will be made. Immediately following
the survey the sale day will be held
at convenient points, which will be
advertised.
Arrangements have been made
whereby feeder hogs may be ship
ped into the county from the st.
Louis and other stock yards.
This will not relieve the need for
breeding for more summer pigs. All
hogs produced during 1918 will be
marketed under the thirteen to one
price. Corn average price per bushel
for twelve months preceding hog
marketing dates will be used in com
putation. Hogs at price per hundred
pounds equal to thirteen bushels
corn. Corn at $3.50 per bushel
would price hogs at $3.50 per hun
dred weight.
This is not a set guaranteed price
like the $3.50 wheat price but an
agreed price by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration
County Food Administrator will ex-
plain any point you do not thoroly
understand.

NEWS NOTES.


After an adventurous career of
nearly three and half years in fight
ing and raidiDg operations in the
Black Sea the famous former German
cruisers Goeben and BresIau have met
their fate at the hands of British
warships in a fight at the entrance
to the DardanelIes. The Breslau, re-
named MiduIlu, was sunk, and the
Goeben, rechristened Sultan Yawuz
Selim, was beached. The two cruis-
ers escaped into Turkish water short
~ after the outbreak Of the war and
were purchased by the Turks.
With the election in England inn
