Of the best hogs ever placed on the

Gently by f. II. Beckstead, we'll
known hog raiser and authority on

Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy

extravagant prices for what he car

the hogs need are minerals, and tells
the secret of his wonderful success
by explaining that he takes about
five pounds of ordinary mineraline
(which is pure concentrated minerals
and costs only a couple Of dollars)
and mixes same with enough bran OF
filler TO make hundred pounds. All
hogs, and especially brood sows re-
