Recent heavy slumps in the hog
market, as well as the high prices Of
corn. have caused hog raisers in va

the number of sows in their herds, ac-

specialists believe. The man begin

follow it year in and year out, regard

converts into pork. Like every other
farming activity, pork production mas

longtime averages, the farmer VINO

profit, the specialists declare.
One source of failure is that too
many follow it as a speculation rather
than as business. They plunge on
hogs Just as they would gamble on
grain futures or on the stock market.
Operations Of this character are never

of the recent decline in the hog mar

the selling price of the pigs that viii

Every farmer who is conservative,
careful, and painstaking in his hog
raising operations is able after few
years of experimentation to determine
approximately the maximum and min
imum number of sows that he can
maintain on his farm at the greatest
net profit. When he has accurately
ascertained this number he should
breed that many sows every year,

He was dressed as she was, tit for

M'sungo led the march home; the
donkey came next, with his nose glued
to M'sungo's back and with Andrea
in the saddle. Clinging to his tail with
both hands, more as a drag-anchor
than as deterrent. came Bathtub, and
behind him the long rank and file.
Andrea was still shifting a little, but
her tear-stained face, like child's,
was already cloudless.
81 think Marguerite is too funny"
she said. "Hs's got his eyes tight shut
and he's steering himself by his nose
In your shirt. Will you please tell
Bathtub to let go his tail?''
"Bathtub knows his business" re-
piled M'sungo, but, as it happened,
even as he spoke, Bathtub cast off one
hand to receive lighted white cheroot,
a communal bit Of property that had
come up the line of personal attend
ants, six puffs to "boy." He never
got a puff, for on feeling less weight
behind, Marguerite opened his eyes,
looked straight back on both sides of
his lean body at once, flattened his
ears and broke from the path at a
dead run.
The high camille Of the stock saddle
saved Andrea from staying just where
she started from. She was a horse
woman, born and bred, consequently
even while her amazement was at it's
height, she wrapped the reins on her
arms, drove her toes into the bucket

She turned. "What is itY she

fodder. Their black and white faces,
the sweep of their arching horns, their
brown bodies that glistened in the sun
as though they had been groomed.
their nervous Ticking bobbed tails,
their incredibly slim legs, combined
all the attributes Of fascination
beauty, vigor, strength, motion-and
filed the eyes of the watchers to over

In the van of the herd stepped a
mighty ball, his tiny hoofs lifting high
as though he boosted that his weight
was really nothing. Straight toward
the forest and Andrea he led his little
army until presently she could smell
the. stable odor of their bodies. Her
heart was beating like a trip hammer.
She tried to hold her breath. Her
bosom rose and fell in fluttering
undulation. The bull looked up and
saw her. His horns went back and
he squatted, hesitating on the brink
of the mighty spring Of fright. In his
eyes WAS CLEAN unbeievably wicked.
Then the crack of a rifle, the thud
of bullet in flesh, body hurled into
the air by the death-throe and falling
in a heap, legs doubled up. neck out

Andrea buried her face in her lap

eyes, and sobbed as though her heart
were breaking. She did not hear the
wild cry of Bathtub, nor see his crazy
gyrations about the PROSTATE brute,
but when the white man spoke her
mind leaped to meet the justification
in his words, without which she felt
she could never have looked upon his
face again.
"Stop your crying" he said sharply
when sable bull gets as close as
that, there's no telling which way he's
going to go"
