Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices

Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results

That he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and that he is raising some of
the best hogs ever placed on the mar
ket, was the statement made recently
by f. H. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, ard have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what 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 cost only a
couple of dollars) and mixes same with
enough bran or filler to make a hun
dred pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sowS require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in the
pink of condition, and are essential to
the hogs growth and a well balanced
ration. This inexpensive mixture plac-
ed in sheltered box where the hogs
can get at it as they need it, will pro-
duce far better results than any high
priced so-called stock foods.
