The Progress will not attempt but as livestock and especially
to argue the question of relative
returns to the grower from sell
ing pork dressed or on the hoof,
as that matter has been demon-
stated in favor o f the latter meth
od a number of times, but for the
farmer who does not take into
consideration his labor in the kill
ing and dressing and the cost o f
selling, possibly there is a larger
profit in selling the dressed meat.
One important matter must be
considered and that is the pres
ent and future growth of the live
stock and the hog raising indust
