HOGS ADVANCE 
250 PER CENT 
Buyers at Chicago are paying as high 
as 20(^ per pound for live hogs, the highest 
price in history. Compared with two years 
ago, this is an advance of 250%. The de¬ 
mand is strong and sure to continue. Here is the 
opportunity of a lifetime to secure big returns. 
Feed your pigs 
Reichard’s Digester Tankage 
and watch ’em grow into dollars. This superior brand of tankage supplies the necessary mus¬ 
cle and bone-building materials lacking in all grain feeds. It insures health, perfect digestion, 
quick and even development and makes big profits sure. You can’t afford to do without it. 
The sensational Berkshire hoar shown above—Majestic Mammoth 229500—weighed 407 lbs. 
at seven months of age. He was bred by Mr. C. H. Carter, West Chester, Pa., who regularly 
fed him Reichard’s Digester Tankage.

Hogs; Breeds and Feeds 
1. Fnder present conditions which sea¬ 
sons (months) of the year would be con¬ 
sidered most profitable to breed Chester 
and Yorkshire Whites? 2. Which breed 
of bogs is most profitable—^prices of feed¬ 
stuff considered? 3. Which is better, to 
sell litters when young (how old), or 
shotes and barrow hogs of 150 to 250 lbs.? 
4. What is most profitable to feed hogs, 
to round them out? Shotes are 150 lbs., 
but not rounded out. 5. What price can 
be expected in .Jersey for shotes and har¬ 
row hogs of 1.50 to 200 lbs. (on the hoof) 
and how much dressed? 6. What laws 
on interstate shipment of live and dressed 
hogs must be observed? c. B. 
New .Jersey. 
1. Under average conditions in New 
.Jersey practice seems to favor the mating 
of lirood sows for March and September 
pounds, as they are too heavy to meet 
the butcher's demands, and it costs con¬ 
siderably more to put on the third bun-- 
dred pounds than the first two. 
4. A ration of 200 lbs, corn, 100 lbs. 
hominy and 20 lbs. digester tankage would 
be the most satisfactory to feed and finish 
shotes now weighing about 150 pounds. 
There is distinct advantage in feeding 
tankage with corn at present prices. 
5. The prevailing market price for 
shotes weighing from 1.50 to 200 pounds 
varies from 15 to 16^c per pound at the 
present time; that is, live weight, and 
from 18 to 22c per pound dressed weight. 
Pigs will dress oft’ about 20 per cent. 
0. Carcasses may be shipped from one 
State to another provided they bear the 
Turning Corn into Pork on the Farm of Taylor Fouts, Perry County, Indiana 
farrow; especially does this apply to old 
sows. Y'oung gilts farrowed in March, 
April or May I prefer to breed so that 
they will produce their first litter in May, 
as the forage crops then available seem to 
stimulate the milk flow, and it is very 
important that care be exercised to stimu¬ 
late milking qualities to the fullest degree. 
What is true of other breeds is equally 
true of Chester Whites or Y'orkshires. If 
the sows in question are mated any time 
during the month of November they will 
farrow in appropriate time. 
2. There is very little difference in the 
economy of the various breeds of swine 
to produce profit from a given amount of 
feed. Altogether too much stress has been 
laid upon the question of breed, and 
scarcely enough on the making of selec¬ 
tions within a breed. There are good and 
bad representatives of every breed of live 
stock that we recognize. The Duroc Jer¬ 
sey, Berkshjre, Chester White and Y’^ork- 
shire predominate in Now Jersey, In 
South .Jersey one finds largely Duroc Jer¬ 
seys, generally known as Jersey Reds, and 
they serve a very useful purpose in pork 
production. In North Jersey, especially 
in Somerset and Morris counties, we find 
the breeders utilizing purebred Berk- 
shires. Rather than select one particular 
breed, and rely upon it to place one’s 
swine feeding or breeding operations on 
a useful basis one should pay moi'e atten¬ 
tion to the selection with the particular 
breed that is selected. Type is of more 
importance than breed: hence it is neces¬ 
sary to select for breeding purposes sows 
that come from large litters, that are 
noted for their milking qualities, and have 
evidenced engaging appetites, and mature 
at an early age. 
3. If one can produce on his own farm 
the hulk of the feeds utilized and neces¬ 
sary in fattening hogs to a mature weight 
of 225 or 250 pounds it is my belief that 
this practice is more profitable than dis¬ 
posing of the pigs at weaning time. 
Y'oungsters are too small a unit to bring 
in very much money, but here again the 
question of pi-evailing price would be a 
limiting factor. If one could secure $10 
apiece for pigs weighing 35 to 40 pounds 
there would probably be more profit in 
such a transaction than there would be 
in purchasing feed to finish them out to 
maturity. Very little is to be gained, 
however, after they reach a weight of 200 
stamp of approval of a veterinarian quali¬ 
fied to make such inspection. It is not 
necessary, as some people would lead you 
to believe, to obtain license or permission 
to slaughter animals on one’s own prem¬ 
ises, FREDERICK C. MINKLEB. 
Crumbly Cheese 
Can you tell me the reason for cheese 
(made about last March) getting so 
crumbly that one cannot cut it? 
Massachusetts. g. w. j. 
The causes of dry, crumbly cheese are 
too high heating in the whey, heating too 
long, using too much salt and curing 
cheese in an atmosphere that is too dry 
or too hot. To prevent this trouble, one 
should be careful to have a correct ther¬ 
mometer and heat the curd about one de¬ 
gree every five minutes. It is seldom 
necessary to heat higher than 98 degrees 
F. Cheese must be cured in a 50 to 60 
degree room where there is plenty of mois¬ 
ture in the air. Coating the cheeses with 
melted paraffin after they have been out 
of the press for two or three days will 
help the cheese to retain its moisture.
