Greediest Hogs Are
Most Valuable
IIE OREGON ag ricu ltu ral statio n
has found out by actual feeding
te s ts th a t the hog which eats most
greedily is the most pro fitab le. T h irty
pigs were divided into th ree lots, the
heaviest eaters in one lot, and the
o thers graded according to th e ir ca
p a rity l'«r consum ing feed.
A hundred hogs like the heaviest eat
ers. a t the ra te of gain made and pres
ent prices, would m ake a p ro fit of
$297.65, or alm ost exactly $3 a head. A
hundred like the poorest feeders would
have made a p ro fit of $115.65, or only
a little more th an a dollar a head. They
were evenly graded as to size and sex.
I f th ere is th is g reat differen ce betw een
tho heavy eatin g hogs and the lig h t
e a te rs— and most hog grow ers will
agree w ith th e general proposition— it
would seem th a t breeders might well de­
vote them selves to breeding ap p etite
in hogs, instad of color or fancy points.
If th e ap p etite m akes the p ro fits, breed
app etite.
