Selling Live or Dressed Hogs 
Can you tell me which way I can get 
the most money out of my hogs. 17c live 
weight or 25c dressed? They will weigh 
from 75 to 125 lbs. dressed. They are 
fat, not lean hogs. E. F. s. 
If the hogs are sold on a local market. 
25c per lb. dressed weight will be a de¬ 
cidedly more profitable method of selling 
than 17c per lb. live weight, as the aver¬ 
age hog unshrunk does not average over 
80 per cent in dressing percentage. There¬ 
fore a hog selling at 17c per lb. live 
weight would sell at around 21j^c per lb. 
dressed, if nothing were charged for the 
labor. This would leave 3%c per lb. to 
pay for the labor involved, and if the 
farmer is able to dress his own hogs and 
has the ordinary farm equipment for this 
purpose, he could easily do it at a con¬ 
siderable less expense. I would there¬ 
fore advise that these hogs be sold at 25c 
per lb. dressed weight rather than 17c per 
lb. live weight. In case it is necessary 
for the animals to be shipped a long dis¬ 
tance by rail and sold through a commis¬ 
sion man, the freight shrinkage and com¬ 
mission would cut down the price received 
for the live animal, so that in this case 
also, it would be more profitable to dress 
the animals and sell them at the price 
given for dressed hogs. k. j. s. 
Ration for Growing Pigs 
I have some pigs five weeks old that I 
would like to feed until they are six 
mouths old and then sell. We cannot get 
tankage or hominy here. They have a 
run of pasture grass; no clover. How 
much ought they to weigh when six 
months old? I want to keep grain by 
them all the time. I. t. w. 
A market pig six months old ought to 
weigh 225 lbs. In order that lie may at¬ 
tain this weight it. is necessary to feed 
some grain supplementing the pasture, 
and for such use equal parts of corn, bar¬ 
ley and middlings, to which 10 per cent 
of oilmeal was added, would serve a use¬ 
ful purpose. I note that it is impossible 
for you to get hominy or tankage, hence 
I have suggested the eornmeal and oil- 
meal. However, if the pigs are foraging 
on clover, it would be possible to feed 
them successfully on a mixture omitting 
the oilmeal, yet it is always prudent to 
include some high-protein carrying feed 
in the various combinations used in feed¬ 
ing pigs. I would feed the pigs 2Vg lbs. 
of this grain mixture daily for each 100 
lbs. of live weight, and continue this 
amount until the pigs weigh 125 lbs., 
after which time they should be given a 
full ration; that is, all of the grain that 
they will clean up with relish twice a 
day, or, if you are using the self-feeder, 
it would be well to keep corn and barley 
in the hopper at all times. All of these 
materials should be ground if the best re¬ 
sults are to obtain. F. C. M.
