1 MARKET YOUR HOGS
- FOR BETTER PRICE
County Agent Say* Soil On The Hoof
In The Largor Eattorn
MarkoU
A good many farmer* in this county
have some extra pork for sale each
year. As a rule this surplus is passed
on our local butchers at very low
prices or the meat is cured and sold
as hams, shoulders, and middlings,
sometime during the spring and sum
mer months.
flither of these practices is waste
so far as the farmer is concerned.
Unless he gets a lot more than the
average local price offered, for to
begin with the hog only dresses out
about average of two-thirds its liva
weight and then if the farmer cures
it the meat loses a good bit in height.
Let's take for example a two hund
red pound hog. If he is corn fed and
solid he will probably drese about
185 pounds. All right say for sake
of illustration, that the local market
will take the hog at 12 1-2 cents, then
you have $16.20 for your hog and
your leaf fat and liver, heart, etc, will
just about pay cost of butchering.
If you cure this hog and can sell the
cured meat direct to a family who
wants it you may be able to get two
or three dollars more for the hog, but
in this case you have got to take the
chance of the meat spoiling and then
there is also some expense and trouble
attached to curing meat.
What then is-the solution to this
tangle? Ftten your hogs so as to be
ready for market by late February or
early March, and club together on car
lot shipments. Hogs will sell on
an average in March on the Baltimore
and Philadelphia markets, for as
much per pound live weight as you
can get for dressed hogs, locally, in
December and January. So you see
when you dress the hog and sell it
locally you lose on an average about
one-third the value of the hog.. Then,
fcoo, you can easily glut the local
market, while you are not at all likely
to glut the eastern stock markets.
Hogs have averaged above ten cents
per pound on hoof for the last ten
years in Baltimore and Philadelphia,
during the months of March,
Get your extfct hogs ready for
market by that time and save your
self the worry and embarrassment of
trying to sell pork on an already
glutted local market, and incidentally
get about one-third more for your
meat. We have made tentative ar
rangements alfeady for the shipment
of three cars of hogs from the county
next March, and if you are interested
in this, get in touch with me at once
and I will be glad to assist you in
working up a car lot shipment from
your shipping point.

little prospect of securing enough for
the winter's supply. With the new
