IRON TURBINE

A CONTRAST WITn THE SMALLER. 
COL. K. D. CURTIS, 
Like Prof. Sanborn, I have changed my 
opinion regarding the comparative value of 
the small and large breeds of hogs. I have 
bred all sorts of pigs—of the different breeds 
and cross breeds—and I cannot consistently 
recommend the small breeds as the most prof¬ 
itable. I do not wish to imply that the small 
breeds Lave no merits, or ure not nice little 
things for those who fancy them. What I 
mean is that there is less money in them for 
the average farmer than in the larger breeds. 
It is just as much trouble to bother with pigs 
born little, and always little, as with larger 
ones, I have Duroc-Jorsey pigs born in April, 
which ure as large now as some of a small 
white breed born last Autumn. It may be 
true that the red ones have eaten more in the 
same time; but this does not begin to offset 
the difference In the ent ire cost and labor in 
getting the same weight. The pigs of the 
larger breeds are generally t wice the size of 
the smaller, whenliorn, ThUglves them such 
a start that the small ones can never overtake 
them. They begin life with larger stomachs, 
or, in other words, with a greater capacity 
for eating, digesting uud assimilating food; 
they are machines of greater power, und, as 
a matter of course, are capable of greater re¬ 
sults. Now, when a year old, it will take at, 
least, t wo of the small ones to make the weight 
of one of the larger, and I am not sure but 
that ns they average, it would take a part of a 
third. There are at least two lives to be kept 
going, two sets of legs, and other organs to be 
grown and supported, uud it is manifest to me 
that this double set of machinery takes more 
fuel, or food, than one. This is not all the 
difference, the power of digestion und assim 
ilation in the larger pig is so much greater, 
that it will grow r on food which the smaller 
one would reject, or of which at least it would 
not, eat enough to thrive. A strong appetite 
and ability ty consume food go together, and 
one is the natural sequence of the other. This 
may be illustrated in the fact that 1 can win¬ 
ter a Duroc-Jersey and keep it in good con. 
ditlon on bright clover hay. This may be the 
case with other large breeds. 
N« one seems to question the statement that 
“animals when young take on flesh faster 
than when older.” I am not disposed to 
accept this us a sweeping fact, and 1 have 
been charged with being 25 years behind 
the age, for arguing against the stuffing 
notion with pigs. “Early maturity,” is 
the cry. “The sooner matured, the more 
profit,” is one of the trite sayings. What 
is maturity? With the stuffers it means 
a condition so fat that the animal must oe 
slaughtered; with me it means such a con¬ 
dition of age and growth, that It Is profitable 
to kill, and the flesh is in a healthful and good 
condition to oat,. This “ early maturity” talk 
implies that it is a special virtue of little 
b'eods, whereas it cun only mean that they 
reach the full limitof growth at an earlier age 
than the larger ones. Hogs are rarely kept 
until full grown; hence there is no particular 
merit in the claim. The question of profit de¬ 
pends not so much on how fat a pig may be 
when killed, or how heavy, but on its actual 
cost, on w hich a balance is now to be struck. A 
pig of a small breed may dress one hundred 
pounds, and one of a larger breed the same; 
the difference, then, is only in the cost and 
quality of the two carcasses. Both of these 
differences, in my judgment, should be 
reckoned in favor of the larger breeds, lie- 
cause it would not be so fat, and bctieo would 
bo more palatable, and it could have been pro¬ 
duced from cheaper feiud.of food, and hence 
cost less. This is not a fair example for the 
large breed. Two pigs should be killed at the 
same age—say nine mouths—when it will be
