CHESTER WHITE SWINE BEEEDEKS. 279 



Headington: I selected three gilts, bred them and they farrowed 

 twenty-five pigs in the spring and in the fall thirty-five pigs, and later 

 on one of these sows farrowed eighteen pigs and saved twelve. I have 

 made money on sows having pigs at a year old. 



Question — "Has any breeder had any experience with a dipping tank?" 



The general feeling was that the dipping tank was a good thing to use. 



Question — "What is a good remedy to give hogs or pigs when they 

 have worms?" 



Carl Scott: I feed the following combination: One hundred pounds 

 of oil meal, two bushels ashes, one-half bushel salt, one-half bushel of 

 lime, five pounds of soda, five pounds of sulphur, two pounds of coperas, 

 mix and put in a self-feeder. It will kill all the worms and keep them 

 free of worms. 



The Executive Committee made an assessment of 25 cents to the 

 member, same to be sent to C. E. Smith, Linton, Indiana, Secretary and 

 Treasurer. 



INDIANA CHESTER-WHITE SWINE BREEDERS. 



The members of Chester White Breeders' Association met in the city 

 of Indianapolis, January 5, 1905. 



The President, L. A. Hinshaw, called the meeting to order and de- 

 livered the following address: 



Gentlemen and Brother Breeders — After what I hope has been a 

 happy and prosperous year, I am glad so many have the best interest of 

 the Chester White hog at heart to meet and discuss, instruct and learn 

 how to bring our breed closer to that standard called "Perfection." I 

 think the meetings have been profitable in a business way, and also 

 socially. 



Our hogs must become known and we must become known to an 

 advantage to gain the respect and confidence of our customers. We 

 should breed for the best and sell onlj^ the best. There can be no fixed 

 rule to gain the best results, but by careful study of each type and profit 

 by our past experiences, whether successful or not, we can mate the hogs 

 so that we will gain, not so much in number of pigs raised, although that 

 is an item, but of the class raised.
