PRODUCTION OF SPRING RIGS
Average Cost Of 100 Pounds Of Mar.
ketable Pork Placed at $6.08
by Department.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The average cost Of producing 100
pounds Of marketable pork in sections
Of Iowa and Illinois in 1921, was $6.OS,
according to cost Of production study
made by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture on 3,574 spring
pigs producing $50, 14O pounds of mar
ketable pork.
This pork was produced when corn
was relatively cheap last year. The
survey shows that IS per cent of the
hogs returned between rs cents and
IS cents per bushel of corn fed. Costs
ranged from $3.76, In one drove, to
$1,000, in the drove showing the high
est cost, IS per cent Of the pork
showing a cost of 81 or less per 100
pounds. An average profit of SIPS
per 100 pounds Of marketable pork
Is shown, or an average profit Of $3O5
for each pig weaned.
The size Of the litters, the relative
economies made In the use of feed
and labor, and the quantity Of pork
produced per sow were the three prin-
cipal cost factors. The entire herd
was used as a basis for cost finding
all the expenses of the SOW being
divided among the pigs in her litter,
The principal causes Of high costs
were the small filters weaned, heavy
feed and labor expense, and slightly
lower gain per head. Tankage formed
an important part Of the rations Of
the economical pork.
The average cost of the total guam,
tity Of pork produced, or SS2,75s
pounds, which included 1852 pounds
lost later through deaths, was $685.
with range Of $3.76 on the farm
making the cheapest pork, to $1O49
on the farm showing highest costs
Thirty-nine OF the 81 farms upon
which cost figures were kept showed
costs between 81 and 81.
The farm averaging the smallest
filters. or two pigs to the SOW, made
473 pounds of pork per litter in 200
days. The farm making the highest
record made 1,759 pounds Of pork
per litter in 200 days from an average
of 7.27 pigs weaned per SOW. Two
farms producing an average Of eight
pigs per sow produced 1915 pounds
The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1922-10-04

and 1.435 pounds per SOW respectively.
The average cost Of producing a
weaned pig, ten weeks of age, was
$3.50. Figures were kept on 100
spring filters. The cost of producing
weaned pig varied from $2.73 in the
breeding herd having the lowest cost
per pig to $1O.16 per weaned pig in
the drove having the highest cost.
These costs included all feed and
other expenses upon the mothers from
the time Of sorting the sows in the
fall to be bred to the date of wean-
ing; also the feed and other costs on
the boar while on the farm.
While no attempt was made to find
the cost of pigs at narrowing time, the
report shows the influence that the
selection Of sows and condition of the
narrowing pen have upon the size Of
filters, and the number of pigs brought
through alive, the department states.

MARKETING EARLY LAMB CROP
cidedly and 1t Doesn't Pay to
Keep Them Back.

Experience has proven that 1t pays
to market the lamb crop when it is
ready rather than delay with the hope
that additional weight may be had. AS
matter of fact, hot weather slows
down the gain very decidedly, and 1t
doesn't pay to keep the lambs on after
they are ready to go. Well-grown
early lambs that weigh sixty to
seventy pounds will soon be ready.
Let them go then as soon as possible
