Hog Prices We're
Very Low in 1922
Pure Bred Swine Business
Suffered Depression With
Other Farm Branches.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Sale prices of pure bred hogs reached
very low level in 1922, according to
recent survey made by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Analysis of the reports on the sale of
30,3S2 pure bred hogs in 1922 indicates
that the pure bred swine business has
suffered depression along with other
branches of agriculture. The reports
received present a fairy accurate pic
ture of the business, in the opinion of
department officials, although they do
not represent large number of ami
mails
Number and Price of Hogs.
The number Of hogs of the five
breeds on which reports were received
are: Berkshire, 1,762; Chester White,
1922; Duroc Jersey, 1856; Hamp-
shire, 1910; and Poland China, 6,232
The average price received for each
breed, including all ages and both
sexes at both private and auction sales
was: Berkshire, S30.57; Chester
White, $42.72; Duroc Jersey, S45.91 !;
Hampshire, $4442; and Poland China,
$41.94. Auction sale averages were
from $40 to $25 above those sold at
private treaty. This difference, it is
pointed out, is due partly to the large
number Of pigs under eight months
of age sold privately, whereas auction
sales are usually confined largely to
more mature animals and involve
larger number of bred gifts, service
boars and bred sows.
Highest Prices by Breeds.
Sales reported at less than $3.50 per
head were omitted in calculating the
averages, as sales at such low figures
were not considered to be legitimate
pure bred sales. The highest prices by
breeds indicated by the reports were:
Chester White, $40; Poland China,
$500; Hampshire $500; Duroc Jersey,
$3.50; and Berkshire, $3.50.
OF the 30,3S2 hogs reported upon,
421 brought $3.50 or more These were
distributed by breeds as follows: Berk-
shire, 10; Chester White, 1853; Duroc
Jersey, 100; Hampshire, At; Poland
China, 81. A few bred sows and gifts
sold above $780, but the average price
was about $50.
This survey is new feature of the
new service work of the bureau of
agricultural economics, of the depart
ment, and is the first of a series Of
surveys to be made at intervals of six
months.

Cure for Blackhead Has
Never Been Discovered

The United States Department of
Agriculture has this to say concerning
blackhead: mo positive cure for
blackhead has been found. AS in the
case of all other infectious diseases,
the sick bird should Immediately be
removed from the flock to prevent
further spread of the disease, and If
very sick it Is best to kill it and burn
the body. Clean out the roosting place
and spread lime in the places most
frequented by the turkeys. Keep a
disinfectant in the drinking water
potassium permanganate is most often
used, a sufficient quantity Of the crys-
tails being added to the water to give
1t wine color, which for every gallon
of water will take about as much Of
the chemical as can be placed on a
dime. If the turkeys are being fed
heavily, their ration should be re-
duced, as overlooking predisposes to
the disease. The feeding of sour milk
has been found to be Of advantage in
keeping turkeys in good health and In
reducing the activities Of the organ
isms causing blackhead."
