GET RID OF THE SCRUB HOG.
(By G. W. Clark, Farm Bureau
Committeeman. Kiowa, Colo,)

fashioned domineck pintos Just weel,
follow suit for we're on his trail.
Nothing has been so abused as the
hog in this country. Some of the
wide awake progressive farmers have
heard the call and already have star
ted in the right direction; but some
of you prominent knockers better
sell your grain rather than feed it
into your old razor backs. / agree
that you will be money ahead and |
save yourselves a lot of trouble.
Now, If you don't like the breeds
that web ave selected, get some
thing else; but for the sake OF the
SOW run idle than breed her to scrub
boar. Put a purebred in your
herd and note the improvement.
Just oe cross will satisfy your own
judgement that you have been asleep
long enough.
II you can't afford good sire,
breed to one any way. 1t wont
break you up. If you can't pay
service fee, then wait until you feed
them out and your have money
enough to pay service fees, and then
buy you good sire. Remember
you are not speculating when you
invest in a good boar for they are
proven quantity.
What would the long horn bo-
vines been to day. If it hadn't been

country.
What would the old little snort
ing rearing bronc have been today,
If 1t were not FOR the purebred stall
lion? Thanks again to those people
who have awakened to the value of
Like begets like"
Then when one of the most pre-
potent animals on earth, one OF life's
most substantial articles ever raised,
articles ever manufactured, are
brought out we insist on scrubbing'
them again. Hogs are natives Of
cur country-why do we retrogress
rather than pogress? We have the
best that is produced-let's use them
Then for the benefit of future
generatios and the appeasments OF
the entire civilized world-raise two
pounds of pork now to one before.
Put a purebred Sire in your herd.
