Produces a Ton 

 Litter of Breeding 

 Stock in 149 

 Days! 



Purebred Duroc-Jersey swine 

 breeder Sherman A. Vance and 

 sons, of Carthage, Illinois, have 

 achieved an outstanding record 

 with Blue Seal Swine Feeds. 



They produced a ton littef of 

 breeding stock in 149 days. 



On March 23, a litter of 12 pigs 

 was farrdwed by one of Vance's 

 purebred Duroc sows. Ten pigs 

 were saved and raised. 



The litter was shown at the re- 

 cent Illinois State Fair and placed 

 high in the judging against stiff 

 competition. The pigs were sold 

 at auction the same evening for 

 $1,600.00. 



From the very beginning, the pigs 

 did well on their ration of Blue Seal 

 Swihe Supplement, farm grains and 

 other feeds fed by Vance. At 56 days 

 the litter weighed in at 471 pounds. 

 This greatly exceeded the 320 lb. 

 minimum requirement for a Pro- 

 duction Record litter. 



At 149 days, the 10 pigs weighed 

 a total of 2,020 pounds — a ton litter 

 in less than 5 months. 



Mr. Vance is a Fieldman for the 

 "Hog Breeder" magazine. He has 



had many years' experience in rais- 

 ing and showing pigs. He attributes 

 his success principally to good man- 

 agement, good breeding and good 

 feeding practices. 



He is to be congratulated on his 

 achievement over the years in pro- 

 ducing champion hogs. 



Extra profits are in store for Illi- 

 nois hog men when they follow the 

 Blue Seal Swine Feeding system.
