Hogs Should Recover Some
Of Mortgage-Lifting Ability
By GILBERT GUSLER, Market AnaIrst
By GILBERT GUSLER, Market Amal,st

How can producers make the
most of the favorable opportunity
that lies ahead? Here are some sug-
gestions:
l. Push spring pigs for early sale.
Get as many as possible up to 200
to 210 pounds and off to market in
the next two months. Don't sell be-
low 100 pounds, however. Price dis
elimination against unfinished hogs
will increase. Avoid carrying hogs
to heavy weight.
2. Keep enough breeding stock to
use your facilities and feed supply
fully if you are low or moderate
cost producer. If you are high cost
producer, better get out of that class
or out of hogs.
3. Get meat-type breeding stock if
you do not already have it. If avail
able, buy meat-type boars proven
by testing station results.
4. Take all practicable steps to
hold down or reduce costs. Save
more pigs per sow. Avoid getting
sows and gifts too fat. Feed plenty
of alfalfa hay in winter.
5. Use a multiple narrowing pro-
gram, or farrow your pig crop so
that it will be ready for market
during periods of light supplies.
That means spring pigs in March
or earlier and fall pigs in Septem-
Der or earlier.
6. Cooperate with other producers
in efforts to improve hog type and
expand the market for hog products.

for barrows and gifts from July to
November is slightly over 20 per cent.
With hogs at the $16-$18 level, that
would mean decline of So. 25-$3.50 a
cwt. in monthly average prices. Daily
or weekly extremes would show a
greater decline.
Cyclical Uptrend
This year the cyclical uptrend is run
ming counter to the seasonal trend. This
is likely to mean smaller than nor
NAL price drop. Last year we had
downward cyclical trend on top of the
seasonal trend, causing the extreme
drop of $40 from July to December.
The cyclical uptrend will add to the
seasonal price strength from Novem-
Der to next February or March and
from the spring low to the summer
peak in 1857.
A longer view of hog producers
prospects indicates a gradually increas-
ing demand for hog products because
of population growth. At average pork
consumption rates of about 67 pounds
or Y a hog per person, the new
stomachs to be filled each year call
for an annual increase of about 1.3
million head in the hog crop, assum-
ing the maintenance of high consumer
incomes and present consumer demand
for pork. Hog prices and the ratio of
prices to feed costs will have to aver
age high enough to bring about this
expansion.

More Pigs Per Litter
Mean Bigger Profits
By J. o. TRETSVEN

THE AVERAGE SIZE of a litter is
an important item in the economical
production of hogs The producer who
can raise an average Of or 10 pigs
per litter has a decided advantage
over the man who raises only or
pigs. If we assume that it costs $56
year to keep sow for one litter,
then the initial cost per pig for 10
pig litter is $3.50. If only six pigs are
raised the cost will be 1888, or diff
ference of 1913 per pig.
If two litters are raised in one year
the cost will be still lower. The diff
ference in the number of pigs raised
per litter may, in a large measure, be
the difference between success or fail
ure in the hog business.
Now the question may be raised,
''What are some of the essential points
that should be considered in striving
for large numbers of pigs raised per
litter?"
Breeding Stock
Select gifts with long, deep, smooth
bodies with at least IL well-developed
teats and out of ancestry known to
produce good filters.
Well-grown gifts may be bred at 8
months.
Feed sows so that they are gaining
weight two weeks before breeding.
Keep breeding records The CESSATION
period is from 112-115 days.
Breeding twice, 10 to IL hours apart,
may result in larger litters
Cross-breeding generally results in
larger, stronger filters.
Feeding Gifts and SOws
Keep sows in good condition but not
fat.
Feed bred gifts more literally They
are growing as well as reproducing.
Provide free access to choice alfalfa
hay or legume pasture. This is essen
tial in providing the necessary vita
minis for reproduction.
Provide II to IL pounds Of grain
and concentrates daily per 100 pounds
iveweight, depending upon the condi-
ton of the cows and the amount anC
quality of alfalfa hay or pasture avail
able. Grain and concentrate mixture:
Ground barley, 92%, meat meal Oh
tankage 40, soybean oil meal $500
Ground wheat or mixture of bar
