HAMPSHIRE HOGS

More Than Usual ..Number of
Public Sales Held and Hand
Some Profits Realized.
HIGH PRICES WERE RECEIVED
Sales Bring More Than Market
Price With Enough Extra to
Pay Sale Expenses
aaaaBmSSSSSSSSSl V.,
There were mors thanth usual num
- ber of public Mies of Hampshire held
In the early months of 118. and these
sales all made very handsome Aver
ages and profit for the men who. con
si gned -to the sale. - Hampshire never
have the make-believe sales. No : soaj
bubble and no extravagantly advertised
price -which, do not balance - with th
bank account. Every Hampshire al
, sells for cash and the clerk's book and
the bank account look Just Alike. Ther
has never been a public sal of. Hamp
shire hog held which did not bring; a
good' deal more than market price on
that day and all sale expense. Better
than 81per cent of the Uampahlr sale
which have been held In all their-past
history have averaged ttter than twice
market price and sale expenses. Thl 1
" satisfactory to any tan man. Extrava-
gant promises to pay for hog at som
time are profitable neither to th seller
or to the purchaser. t -
Hampshire have mad their history
In the hands f poor men and men tn
very moderate circumstance. It 1 tru
that som rich men have been promot
ing and like the Hampshire very much,
but the history has been mad very
largely In the hand of men who, have
found It necessary to make their own
living. Th summer sale of the Hamp-
shire breed were more successful than
any other breed. No breed In America
has enjoyed as good summer and fall
sales as the Hampshire when th aver
ages are compared and th selling price
of all communities have been added to-

car of corn ; per head per j day. The
first of September they were put into a
small four-acre pasture with , a big,
roomy house on one end of It. They
were fed on ground -rye and wheat mid
dling in a mash. They were fed all the
corn they desired, and thus fed until
December 1. They weighed 391' pounds

finish, sis and quality- that everyone
conceded they were the grand cham
pion before the judge paased on them.
Competing exhibitor, packer and com
mission merchants conceded It was the
greatest, car' ever shown at a Chicago j
International. ; They were sold for $21

In the recent International there were
28 cars of hogs of all breeds in compe
tition; they were all sold at public aucs
Won; eight of these car were Hamp
shire. The Hampshire out-sold all oth
er breeds, the winning car by $2.25 per
hundred above th price realized for
any other breed. The average selling
price of th eight Hampshire car was
still 1.5 cent per hundred above the
top price realised for any' single car of
any other winning hogs. The average
price of Hampshire was far above the
average price of any other , breed, not
withstanding that only two of the Hamp
shire cara were awarded a prise, yet
their average price was still above the
Up-top price paid for any single car of
any other breed. The Hampshire ha
won upon honor a record for itself which
ha never been -equalled by any hreed of
hogs in American swtns husbandry. The
Hampshire brood bow insist upon help

She will gather her feed, ah will grind

The creamery butter production of the
three states bordering on the Pacific
coast was 85.840,000 pounds during 1918.
Of this enormous quantity of butter
Oregon produced 13,940,000 pounds.
Washington 15,425,000 pounds, and Cali
fornia, 58,475,000 pounds. In the North
west alone, creameries in the states of
Oregon, ? Washington and Idaho con
tributed a total , output amounting to
33,780,000 pound.
Keen competition among th creamer
ies themselves In handling this volume
of business and new competition in the
naturo of condensarles and cheese fac
tories which have been established in
many places have created a demand for
authentic information which ia a ow be
ing supplied here by the United State
bureau of market.
Thl need for information is not con
fined to the West, but is found in other
parts of th country and is partly
responsible for the expansion of the
work of the bureau of markets. Within
the past year a number of branch market
new offices have been Established at th'
more inportant dairy markets of the
country, among which ar Portland and
San Francisco. At these offices market
information of general and . specific
nature is gathered in an authoratatlve
way and market report ar issued
which bear on current conditions exist
ing from day day. To the dealer in
the market, the creamery in th country,
or the dairyman on th farm, these
report are proving, of value. Not all
creameries make the use of the report
which might be made, but creamerymen
and producer also find the price infor
mation of interest.
