HOG POPULATION

Herds Up Just 1870 From

CHICAGO, Aug. 23-Rebuilding of
the national hog population progressed
under the most favorable circum-
stances in years today, the fifth ami
versary Of the Governments Inaugural
tion of a slaughtering program.
Swine herds on farms have come
back barely 13 per cent from the
century's low point, after the serious
1884 drought, but an abundance of
cheap feed, a good market price and
favorable weather conditions are stim-
ulating breeding and fattening.
The hog price is more than double
that on the day the first of 100000
small pigs and 100000 brood sows sold
to the Government were killed. In
August, 1888. hogs We're bringing
around 81 per hundredweight, a re-
covery OF less than dollar from the
record lows touched in 1892.
Feeding Ratio Good Now.
Corn at so cents bushel, however,
meant that the price of the principal
feed in raising and fattening swine
was too high for profitable conversion
into pork.
With corn now quoted around so
cents, the current hog price of close
to SO offers an unusually favorable
feeding ratio, livestock men said.
Between August % and October g.
1888, the Government "liquidated"
hogs as the first step in efforts to bet
ter swine raisers' economic status.
Farmers sold pigs and sows at Sc to
$3.50 per hundreweight. Later a
processing tax of 1925 per hundred
weight was levied on hogs to finance
production control program.
Peak Price Hit Last Year.
Hog prices dipped late in 1898, but
in summer, 1884. began a steady ad-
vance. BY August. 1884, prices neared
S6 and year later. after the drought,
had almost doubled because of ex-
treme shortage. In August, 1887. the
market reached an 11-year peak of
Sl3.75. The processing tax was elm
mated with invalidatio1 of the A. A. A..
in January. 1886, when the price was
around $40.
The Nations hog population on
January l, 1898 was estimated at g.
100000 head, highest in a decade.
During 1888 it dropped almost 4.oo0,-
900 and by January l, 1895, was at
100000, a reduction of $4,000. 900
in two years. A steady increase has
been recorded since and at the start of
1888 the total was 44,418,O00 head.
This years spring pig crop was l3 per
cent larger than year ago and was
the biggest in five years, while the
number of sows expected to farrow be-
fore winter also is an increase over
last season.
