Raise Hogs. i Hog products *are Mf bJffc er ihan at any time with) a the past fcix or eight year?.

There is no reason wTT> tbTs *taU should not produce its own pork? -every pound needed for home ^onsuDipti'iD. A contemporary prints the fol ko* ins?, which fuliy illustrates the \ -Wreat disadvantage **bir:n our farm ye^s labor under on account of n<?t 'raakinz their *wjn bacon : j ??One d*y k** wi ck a commission man ? ^ Mold a cjrload of western pork , three -weeks in s*it, forJs^c to a grocer, who jdbbed it out at 9l?c. The comiwss'.on ^^zn-irrhaat took apartol h;s CDmniission 0. 'on this sale and bought from a farmer a Christmas pig to* $*4C * pound, paying for the animal $10*50 'With thin money the farmer went tJ the grower and pur * uhasei western pork at 9'?c.^ Tni* looks like a jok4, but is i* a common occurence ia almost any southern city the pig was just aa good as the hog? if anvthiag ^ter, for he wa? fattened on ?J peas and turAi^r and not on swdl from 4ftifferies, bat hoi was perishable sroods ?nd had to be sold for wflSat he w?ald bring. The western hoc, nominally < thirty davs in salt, but really about twen ty ? wax in shap'i to hoi;! for a customer ! and could *>1<1 to better adrantaee. Furthermore, the western meat was in | quantity aud could be handled to advan tage by wholt^alem^r There is no? nerd to wait nntil "hogs are full grown to kill them. It M a useless waste of feed. In the west they ate frequently slaugh tered at tbe age of eight or ten months ;*they make good meat at | that age, and it is found to l>e goo?! 1 economy to produce more hog* | with the same amount of corn. There"" fs no reason in paying high prices to the west for meat, ! when it can b^ produced right heie at kome at a comparatively small cost. Hogs are now very scarce \ and high iu the west, and the in dications are that prices will go still higher. ' i In arranging their business for the year, onr farmers should not ?*il to increase their hog product. They eoulJj ea>ily raise every pound needed for consumption on the farm and there is n? iv-asou why they slio.aM not put their pork in mar ta-blr shap* when they tave a e^lus. It eoul# . be readily dip posed of. ^ 4 Tii a truism, "to him who hath it shall t be given is illustrated in the rase of the Chicago University. John D Roi-k teiler, who has already given thclnsti Utfion f2.600,0.>0, gave it another million for a Christmas preset and on the same day '*an unknown friend" bestowed a quarter of a milji ?n, and yet the country abounds with colleges who have not a/id from whom thy Utile that they have is ; being taken away.
