Show Hosts on the Farm. The following, from the Florida Dispatch, is so applicable to the farmers farm-ers of Utah, we give it room. , The Southern Farmer says every year the. importance of raising our owu pork becomes more appureiit on this coast. Our farmers iind that there is policy as well as profit in raising pork upon the farm. Alfalla fields make the beat kind of hog pastures past-ures at any season of the year. ?rain fields are easily harvested by hops, and the stubble fields are gleaned by them. On many farms, parties larly where dairying and grain growing are carried on together, the cost of raising rais-ing a few hogs each year is nothing, as they get their living upon what would otherwise go to waste. But it pays to fe d hogs well ; to keep them in pood growing order from their birth till they are ready for the butcher. butch-er. The hog should be looked upon as a necessary part of every good farmer's stock. And while he saves what would, otherwise go to waste, he should also be provided for in times when there is no feed. ' ; Farmers who feel the effect of hrd tiinej should think upon this subject, and, by taking advantage ot every sure means of profit, turn their attention to branched of Farming that will' pay, and not neglect bo profitable a resource re-source as the growing and fattening of hogs to supply the home demand. |
