thelast the east and the south aro are increasing the number of their swine at arapad a rapid rates rate very largely because of the use of pasture crops to replace part pari of the grain ration in fact hogs are grown under und imd d er many Alf different Terent methods of farming and fed upon a great variety of crops showing that they are well wel adopted adapted to almost 11 any condition found upon I 1 the farms of this country ideal location an ideal deal location Is on abelt a well drain ed farm possessing it a rich soil that will produce grasses and other forage as well as the grains needed for fattening the tha hogs bogs this does not mean however that only those ing rich level lands should raise log gioga for as a matter of facts fact hogs are most easily handled 6 on farma that are somewhat rolling for F or the he production ro of forage crops the th rolling iding farm Is often as good as alie level tine one and frequently has the added adlynn advantage of shade

type of farming the maximum number of hogs per acre ta Is found on farms chiefly or wholly de doted to the raising of that class of stock as for example farms in the state of iowa where it is quite common to see iee farms stocked stock edwith with several beveral hogs to the acre while the average for the entire state la Is one to every three acres of improved farm land under average conditions in this country however hogs return the largest profit when raised to utilize waste products and when kept for this purpose r alone the number will depend upon the quantity of waste products to be

average form farm are examples of feed foodstuffs stuffs which would be wasted were it not for their utilization by the thrifty farmer fr ar the production of pork utilize waste products Product a in order to utilize some of these products it Is necessary to have a number berof of pigs on hand for a relatively short shaft time on account of the perishable nature of theses these feeds the rest of the year tho the fattening pigs and the breeding stock must be maintained upon feed raised expressly for their consumption and while they ahey are not kept nt at a loss losis during this time still the greatest profit Is derived when they are eating the cheap feed I 1 in the form of waste products tie the number berof of hogs which can utilize the waste to the best adva advantage niage therefore
