pound pig? 



MR. CAAH'MIlLL; i hat depends up(jn liow you are feed- 

 ing them. If y<^)U give them hy-products, swill, garden waste,. 

 and carry tlicm chca]). they will not gain so fast. They may 

 Aveigh flirty pounds at three months of age; one hundred 

 pounds at three months of age is not exceptional and I have 

 had them dress two hundred pounds at six months of age. 

 Under our conditions there is more money in them to carry 

 them until eight or nine months of age. 



OUESTIOX : JIow much does it cost to raise a pig to 

 one hundred pounds? 



MR. CAMPBELL: It is hard to estimate the value of 

 feeds we use. From the corn standpoint, one pound of pork 

 uses three to five pounds of corn ; usually five pounds 

 figured. 



OUESTIOX : Can you feed as much tankage if you are 

 using svvnll? 



MR. CAMPBELL: With good swill I would not use any 

 tankasfe.

OUESTIOX : How much can one aft'ord to pay for his 

 swill? 



MR. CA:\IPBELL: It depends upon the kind of swill 

 you are getting. 



QUESTir)X : Can you feed pigs corn and tankage? 



MR. CAMPBELL: If you get tankage specially prepared 

 lor feeding purposes, it is economical to feed with corn. 



QUESTIOX : Can you use meat and scraps the same as 

 for poultry? 



MR. CAMPBELL: If ihere are no sharp pieces of bone, 

 jou can.
