The question why hog raising does J lot increase more rapidly is the one * vith which we are at present chieflj ^ oncerned. 4 The failure of the hog industry to levelop rapidly in the South is nrob ?' ibly chiefly due to difficulties in a ceding and caring for hogs when 1 ;ept in considerable numbers, and ] his, notwithstanding the great ad- . ant ages of a mild climate and a f, treat variety of grazing crops. 4 In th? first place, hogs, like many 4. ither kinds of livestock, must have ^ pore personal attention and require a nore care in handling than the aver- ' go Southern man is willing to giv<- < hem. They increase rapidly, and In * roportion to their pise are large con- e tuners of feed; heme, they soon do- 4? elop problems <?f housing and feed ^ ng which require not only much a bought but considerable effort to < olve in a satisfactory manner. The line does not require expensive % lousing in the South, except that he <5 ust have dry sleeping quarters In 4? .inter ami shade In summer; but un- ^ <iss given large range he soon pro 3 luces disagreeable conditions about 1 he places where he is confined. We ' lave not yet fully appreciated thest ^ acts, and consequently have attemptd to house and confine our hogs in ^ 00 small quarters. A hog will liv< ^ n a small lot if there is n mud hole , nd a Utile feed furnished him, but j his is not the most pleasant nor thoj 1 nost profitable way to handle him.j j First, then, we have failed to pro ^ ride suitable houses, pastures and i otk tot conveniently caring for hogs. " ind second we do not like to Rive any u tnimnl the attention the hog requires 8( 'specially at farrowing time and un* } 11 the pigs are four or five month* jH, dd. w To avoid disappointment. we VN honld start with a small number of | n ows, for the rapidity with which a erd of hogs increases and demands (| ncreased care ahd feed is truly as- () onlshing. Rspecially should ample j, >t- and pastures he provided. I.anri <M s cheap and there is no excuse for |S( 'ailure to provide ample area for trowing grazing crops, except the ost of fencing. The cost of fencing j s a really serious obstacle to tin ^ [lowing of hogs, here in the South. |( vhere we have been accustomed to v loing little fencing and that of a *(| lature insufficient for controlling! logs. L Hut undoubtedly tiie greatest oh- a| tacie to the raising of hogs in the iouth is that we grow no grain crop T uitahle for feeding hogs which is rj iicap enough to feed to hogs. Corn |= the American hog feed, but so longj s we grow 20 bushels or less per ere we cannot afford to feed corn to ogs. In fact, we simply will not do t. Our long growing season and the ariet.v of splendid grazing crops we. lay grow for hogs is an advantage,, ut we have not yet learned to over-j omo the disadvantage of high-priced, orn in hog-raising. The hog has a j mall stomach and requires oonoen j rates or grains for his best growth, le needs and can use to advantage razing crops, but crops cannot be razed all the year, and in most cases ur best grazing crops requires that ome grain be fed to obtain the best eturns from them. Until we Rolve his problem of reasonably cheap conentrafes, which of themselves, or In omblnation with grazing crops wil' L?rm a farly well balanced ration, we annot make a success of hog raisHR. If we are ever to have a large hog ndustry, producing large numbers f hogs for pork-making, we must uild up a breeding industry. The reeder of pure-bred* hogs to be sold j or breeding purposes finds all his| rofits consumed by his feed bills.' le must sell his breeders for less han the Northern breeders and pay higher price for his feed, because [L tiey are produced in the North and ave to bear the extra cost of transortation. The hog industry in the outh is therefore, a question of ?eds, especially concentrates, foi a ceding sucklings sows, young pigs [? f ESDAV, D-BC. 12, 1916.
