and night. manufacturing the best qual
ity of meat from corn and grass. Those
who have tested feeds in making park
tell us that twelve bushels of corn are
required to produce 100 pounds of pork
under average conditions. Very often
here in the south, than amount of corn
sells for more than the 100 pounds of
pork. Today if you are fortunate enough
to have twelve bushels of corn it Csjn be
converted instantly into twelve dollars,
while one hundred pounds of pork will
bring only ten at the best.
This condition of affairs has started
a long game of Hide aud Seek. Much ex
perimenting with the various southern
grown plants such as peanuts, stoy beans,
THE CONCORD TIMES— FAIR AND INDUSTRIAL EDITION
rye, oats, and rape, has revealed the wel
comed facts that these articles of diet are
not only relished by the porker, but may
be served him in* such a manner in com
bination with corn as to cause the two
dollar difference to coipe to the man who
boards the hog. Pork can be and is
made every day that costs much less than
tlie twelve bushels of corn do.
To show how accommodating he really
can be, our swine friend has accepted the
corn substitutes without argument and
to .see him tackle a bunch of peanuts
arouses a suspicion that he would not
be hard to convert into a corn prohibit
tionist, if he could keep peanuts handy
all the time. Peanuts, hoWever, do not
produce the grade of pork that our pack
ers demand, so we must continue to look
upon corn as an indispensable part of
our hog ration.
This agreeable fellow even prefers to
go out into the field and gather his
own ineals. Thereby he saves much ex
pense aud labor for his keeper. So it
becomes necessary to fence in our acres,
subdivide them; In tonal Mr fhtvs. ‘sow*
therein our alfalfa, rye, oats ami
plant our peanuts and soy beaus. For
(he hot dry summer mouths when most
of the above mentioned crops die or cease
to grow, sudan grass may be depended
upon to keep growing and furnishing
large amounts of feed. In our permanent
pastures nothing surpasses Bermuda
grass for grazing hogs. There are num
erous other crops that may be grown prof
itably under certain conditions or in spe
cial places. If the land will permit graz
ing, the most profitable way to dispose
of our corn is to let the hog go out into
the field, gather, husk and grind his own
feed. If this is done and legumes are
planted in the corn he will balance his
own ration causing -his owner only the
laborious task of opening the gate for
him to enter.
Another feature leading away front the
corn alone ration is in the passing of
the strictly lard type hog.
The advent of the lard substitutes com
ing from the many vegetable oils has pro
nounced the doom of the old time pork
er who was practically all fat. We find
today a hastening towards a type of hog
that will produce abundantly a quality
of meat that is composed largely of lean.
The demand is for large lean pork
chops, and larger, leaner hams. In stress
ing size, we do not mean to attain this
by keeping the hog until he attains this
size by old age, but obtaining it by pro
ducing the type weight.
Expensive hog barns are not needed in
our climate, The equipment necessary
for our hogs isji good fence around the
hog loft*, a shed to keep off the hot sun
and the winter rains and a provision for
fresh water js all that is necessary. But
woe be it to* the man who does not take
these simple steps of preparation. If
lyou intend to keep a hog in a small pen,
carry him feed that is obtained either out
of the crib or bought from the feed store,
you had better continue .to do without
pork, or if the dollar can be borrowed,
sending it to lowa for salt pork.
While feeding makes a bog, and a
lack of it keeps him a pig, many other
ietms enter into successful pork produc
tion. A strong determination to succeed
must be held by the would be hog man.
He must mix his hog feed with good old
fashioned Horse Sense, or in this case*
liog sense. A certain amount of experi
ence is necessary, and if our farmers are
not at it they had better get a few hogs
and begin their twentieth century educa
tion. A breed of hogs that has demon
strated its adaptability to our conditions
and that will produce large litters twice
each year must be selected.
Each farmer has his own problem to
solve. He must tit hogs into his individ
ual conditions, regulating the number to
be raised and their feeding program ac
cordingly. If appears certain, however,
that practically all of us farmers must,
if we at meat, raise it for ourselves.
When he Ims supplied his own meat,
some of our farmers will have done all
that lie can do profitably, others will be
able to make money by producing hogs
for the market. As hog raising increas
es our market facilities for pork will
have to be enlarged and new outlets
found. This prophecy is based upon per
sonal experience and observation of those
who haye been contending with the boll
weevil for several years. In old boll
weevil territory the hog has been found
to be one of the best money crops.
For the man who is willing to study
the problem earnestly, work hard and
use his head it appears that the raising
of hogs and their feed is one of his best
guesses.
