The nation-wide development of the Pig 

 Club idea is an initial step to increase pork 

 production. This little book is full of meaty 

 facts and suggestions based upon a life of 

 practical experience. It answers plainly the 

 many questions which arise with the owner of 

 the pig in the back-yard and with the big-farm 

 manager. PIGS ARE THE AGENCY-

o The National Agricultural Society publishes this important volume "Pigs, 



=> Patriotism and Profit," by Frederick C. Minkler, former Livestock Com- 



2 missioner of the State of New Jersey at a critical moment. We Americans 



2 have been asked by the Government Food Administration to increase the 

 ! production of meat. If we fail to keep up the Nation's fat and meat 

 o supply; if we fail to make the best use of feed stuffs for animals, we will 



' not do our bit in Winning the War. Literally, we are asked to choose : 



t PIfm OR PRI TQ^I ANCJ. The pig is the popular meat-making agency in 



X * lvfcJ V* * I\.\JJtJle\lU. America because, first, it is an economical flesh 



5 producer; second, it utilizes vast quantities of refuse materials and by-products; third, 



it maintains ana increases fertility of land; fourth, it requires small capital; fifth, 



it matures quickly and is marketed easily. The pig is the "mortgage lifter" and

appeals to our 1 " * IxlVy 1 Uill . duction. They produce one-third of the world's 



g supply 150 hogs for each 100 inhabitants. But this is not enough. Our boys "ovei 



there ,' must be fed. We must have meat, fat, since its supply is heat and energy to

in time, add to the support of ourselves PROFIT - Since the War is demanding im-

-c careful attention. Why should we sell finished hogs at 15c. per pound and purchase bacon 



<o at 50c, or ham at 40c. per pound? Prevailing high trices enforce attention to "Pigs, Patriotism
