SWINE BREEDING IN THE SALEM DISTRICT.
Tlie anecstors of the: swine found on American farms camefrom
twosource.4, soul heastern Asia and western Europe. These Wo
families o hogs are often designated by the names sus indica and
rxi serofa: Although the word su (swine) is Latin, people who
feed pigs use it when they call "sui, sui," to the pigs at feeding
time So that in a ,very ancient call. '
Siis indica, a native of China, was a small, fine boned animal much
prized by the people of southeastern Asia. Descendants of sus
scrofa, the wild boar of western Europe, are still hunted in forests
and private game .preserves. They were troublesome nearUlie battle
fronts in the recent great war. The wild boar is a large, ferocious
animal with thin hams. and a very heavy shield. From its Chinese
ancestor the modem hog derived its form arid quality; from the wild
boar it has obtained its size and vigor.' V
Swine were probably introduced into this country by early Spanish
explorers.. For many years wild hogs were found in the everglades
of Florida. It is recorded that Jamestown had to be fenced .to keep
out the i wild hogs, descendants of those brought over -by earlier
'settlers.;-';,: r v v: : - r: ': ' ''"v
Although the ancestors of the hog came from China and western
1 Europe, it remained for English breeders to blend the two and devel
op the earlier breeds. The earlier breeds like the Berkshire were
developed where corn is not the principal crop. Under such condi
tions the bacon type of hog was produced. t
The bacon type has a longer side, less fat and a smaller ham-
The lard type hog is a native of the corn belt. This type of hog
has a compact, thick,! deep, smooth body. The ham, back, loin and
shouldeVs are the most valuable parts and are developed to a .higher
degree. . The production of lard and fat is the principal aim of this
Th following are among the favorites of the bacon breeds:

The tourists could not desert their

But the object of this Salem Slogan issue -of The Statesman on
hogs is to attempt to show that swine breeding is one of the fifty-two
pnncipal basic industries of the Salem district.
The writer believes the reader will agree that thw is proven, if he
will carefully scan the articles on the blogan pages.
' lie will find that the prices of hogs from the farms here are higher
than the average offered in the Chicago market ; higher in Portland
and hicrher at the local packing plant m Sal era.
f That is a very1) important point; and this condition will without
doubt persist, owing to the great lumber, and mining camps in this
region, and the developing markets on all sides of us, and across
the Pacific, where live two-thirds of all the people in the world.
j ' There should be more dairying in this section; more.and still more;
and on every dairy farm swine breeding should of course be carried
on. . ' : - : . -
- And no farmer of any kind should te without at least a few hogs.
Not only for the market, but for breetling purposes, in the higher
walks of the hog world, there is rooniVhere in the Salem district for
great growth and fine development. This district ought to produce
some, of the best and highest priced hogs in the world, and it will,
if more of the kind of men of whom we have a considerable number
now will get into the game. It is a great game, calling for the best
that is in men-of intelligence and action, and there is a wide open
'invitation for such, men here from every where.
The City Beautiful, Flowers and Bulbs, will be the Salem Slogan
subject for The Statesman of next Thursday. There will be some
fine illustrations, and the whole matter will.be worth while, and
interesting. ,y i " ' '
