Raising Meat-Type Hogs
Means More Farm Income
Every North Carolina farmer
knows that housewives (who spend
the money) are demanding ^ore
meat and less fat for their pork
dollars. But many of these same
farmers think raising meat-type
hogs is too expensive.
About the oniy extra expense in
volved, according to Jack Kelley,
in charge of animal husbandry for
the N. C. Agricultural Extension
Service, is the cost of the boar. And
the farmer can even get this back

through feed savings and better
prices received from companies
who buy on a value basis.
Suppose the meat-type boar costs
$100 more than the usual type,
says Kelley, and that you use this
boar on 20 sows twice a year. If
losses average one pig for each
eight-pig litter, you would market
280 pigs. This way the meat-type
boar cost only 36 cents more for
each hog.
What do you get back? If a 200-
pound meat-type hog brings 50
cents per hundred above what the
packer calls a base price, you make
an extra doliar. If these meat hogs
get from weaning to 200 pounds on
31 pounds less feed, as tests have
shown, you save 84 cents on your
feed costs (figuring the cost of
feed at 2.7 center a pound).
Greater selling price and savings
on feed come to $1.84 per pig. De
ducting 36 cents (the cost of having
a meat-type boar) leaves you a net
gain of $1.48 per hog marketed.
New Benefits
Available to
SS Recipients
The Raleigh social security of
fice is attempting to contact bene
ficiaries who are receiving disabili
ty payments, in order to notify
them that some of their dependents
may now receive benefits also.
Changes made in the social se
curity law last year make it possi
ble for dependents of disabled
workers to qualify for benefits un
der the same rules as the family of
a retired worker. This means that
children under 18, children who
were disabled before age 18 and
can’t support themselves because
HINTS TO

SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD
GROOMING—Every woman wants
to be attractive. And why not? A
desire to be pleasing to others, our
family, our friends, even to strang
ers is a perfectly worthy ambition,
one that needs no apologies.
Attractiveness is not just one
specific quality. It is a summing up
of such characteristics as health,
manners, figure, posture, clothes,
make-up, hair and above all, basic
cleanliness. A beautiful face with
a sullen manner is not permanently
attractive, nor does the most gorg
eous hair seem glamorous if the
eye must adjust to a muddy com
plexion or slovenly dress. Poise,
grooming, radiance and attractive
ness make for appreciated beauty.
Take a look at yourself in a full
length mirror. Are you dumpy,
shapeless; is your hair a mess;
your sweater soiled; your lipstick
smeared? Be honest with yourself.
Note your good and weak points
and start right in on a corrective
program.
Limit those between-meal snacks
to fruit juice, milk, ices or sher-
berts and small glasses of soft
drinks. Diet should be simple and
well-balanced. Eat plenty of fruit
roughage foods, fresh vegetables,
rneat and milk. Avoid eating exces
sively greasy foods and too many
sweets, such as chocolate and soft
drinks.
VACATION GOOD “COOK
TIME” FOR CHILDREN: Vacation

hungry, can be a happy, learning-

to your children’s skills and appeal

can spend many hours creating
their own meals. These tested reci
pes give excellent results.
