FEEDING HOGS FOR MARKET. Hertford County has daring the past two year* given a great deal of attention to the improving, care and breeding of better hogs, and has about reached the point where the local supply will exceed the local de mand, and in order that thia exceaa may be disposed of at the very beet advantage and the iaduatry ahall be be put on ? teal paying basis in the j future, your County Agent ia pre-1 paring to make co-oiterative ship menta of hogs to the good markets during the fall and winter months. There has been auch in inereaae in the number of hogs that are fat tened on soy beans (Japan peas) and peanuts, which feeds make a soft and oily meat, that the supply of this class of hogs has exceeded the de mand and in the future there will be a heavier cut on the price paid for such hogs on the regular mar kets. Peanuts and soy beans both make soft and oily meat, when fed alone or in considerable quantities. This, however, does not prevent the farmen feeding these feeds as long as he has them and can put on the weight profitably. By following the fininahing or feed ing out method these hogs can be made hard and in this condition com pete with the best hogs from any section of the country. r The best method of feeding these hogs is to feed some corn while they are on soy beans and peanuts and t when ready to take off these feeds to feed with a self feeder, corn and feeding tankage or fish meal, allow ing the hogs to balance the proportion to suit himself and eat as much as - he wants when he wants it. Keep plenty of clean fresh water on hand at all time. j *' __ This feeding should cover a pe riod of thirty-five or forty days from the time the hogs are taken off the peanuta or soybeans, and the ship ping date. * A mixture of two parts of corn , antf one part cotton seed meal for | thirty days, preceded by ten days of ''corn alone. Do not feed cotton seed mead for a longer period than thirty days or bad results will follow. This hardening period will pay well as is shown by the following exam ple. Take a hog weighing two hun dred pounds when taken off the field. Say the market is 21 cents per lb. ,and the aoft and oily market will be 17 cents, ? difference of $8 per hog. The gaina put on while feeding corn and tankage or corn and cotton seed meal will pay a pro lit over the cost of the feed and add an additional $8 to the original value of the hog. The market quotations this weak were 22 1.2 cents per lb. weight for good hard hogs. It ia not likely that this high mark will continue throughout the fill and winter, but there is not much likelihood of there being a great decline in the pries, since the western corn crop is not nearly so large as usual on account ^f the large increase in the wheat acreage. Farmers who contemplate trying iut a shipment of hogs this fall and . winter and will agree to harden,' will please report their intentions to the County Demonstration Agent and he will assist in making the necessary arrangements for the feeding and shipping when the hardening process is over. Arrangements are now being made for hardening one car load for ship ment about December 16. Experiments conducted last sea ton showed in this state that peanuts can be marketed through the hogs at better than six cents per pound in the ground. This saves the cost of digging, stacking, picking andbagging Practically one half the cost of the peanut crop. The Alabama Experiment Station produced 668 lbs. of pork on an ac re of peanuts that averaged 40. bn. of peanuts per acre. If you have the hogs you need not worry about 6 cents peanuts when this can be done. If enough orders can be secured for tankage to make a carload, ar rangement.* can be made to handle the car. Think it over and give it a good trial. E. W. Gaither, County Agent, Mr. Wisler Cured of Indigestion.
