In the raising of 'ltbgs the main point to bear in mind is that, by steady production .based on the nor- mal capacity of the farm, it is pos- sible for ap individual producer to increase his average returns mater- ially.

The combination of high hog prices and low feed pricesin the fall of 1935 led many farmers in some districts to increase the number of sows bred. re- sulting in the greatly increased near- ketings of 1936-.W. Many of the hogs were finished on the higher -priced feeds of 11936 so that much smaller profits than anticipated were obtain- ed. In 1937, the same producers 'be- came discouraged, decreased the num- ber of sows bred, and now find them- selves with fewer' hogs to feed at a time when low feed prices have made production profitable. Attempting to guess the future prices of hogs and feed simply can- not he done successfully. if there is one thing more than any other the importance of which is stressed in hog- feeding, it is that grains alone are not enough to make good hogs, and that for the produc- tion of the select bacon type hag it is important that a !balanced ration be bed.

This makes a round, level foot that takes a good grip of the ,ground and keeps the pas- terns 'well lined tea and at the proper angle. It is wonderful what can be done in improving action, and in putting knees, hocks and ankles in :the cor- rect position by the proper care of young horses' feet at the right time. In the raising of 'ltbgs the main point to bear in mind is that, by steady production .based on the nor- mal capacity of the farm, it is pos- sible for ap individual producer to increase his average returns mater- ially. Profits from hogs are depend- ent on two factors. namely, the price received and the cost of production, governing prices and the cc...! of feed are 'beyond the individual's c•,tttrol, it is not heyon.1 !tis power take ad- vantage of certain market condition which are repeated a: fairlc f e.l..t;tt and regula* intervals.

The combination of high hog prices and low feed pricesin the fall of 1935 led many farmers in some districts to increase the number of sows bred. re- sulting in the greatly increased near- ketings of 1936-.W. Many of the hogs were finished on the higher -priced feeds of 11936 so that much smaller profits than anticipated were obtain- ed. In 1937, the same producers 'be- came discouraged, decreased the num- ber of sows bred, and now find them- selves with fewer' hogs to feed at a time when low feed prices have made production profitable. Attempting to guess the future prices of hogs and feed simply can- not he done successfully. if there is one thing more than any other the importance of which is stressed in hog- feeding, it is that grains alone are not enough to make good hogs, and that for the produc- tion of the select bacon type hag it is important that a !balanced ration be bed.
