PIG PRODUCTION.

j FIVE POINTS OF SUCCESS. Efficiency in pig production rci quires that the farmer provide him!sclf with all the following;— I 1. As complete a practical and I theoretical knowledge of the busiI ness of pig raising as is posable. | Farmers who have had little or no ’* j schooling in other' than the practical ! side of the business are very often | successful. 1 3., Land and a food and water supj ply of the class .most suited to dairyling and mixed farming. Pig farming .. is not a business that can be successfully conducted on barren unpro- , ductivc- soils. —3. Command of the amount of capital necessary to float and carry . the ■ to a productive stage—though a big banking account is fibi a guarantee of success.' 4. Up-to-date convenient pigsty and paddock accommodation. Expensive show animals and *an elaborate; outfit do not guarantee success an the = absence of knowledge and applicant tion -. ~, s. The most suitable class of breedj ing stock. A few really good ani- ’ ■ mals are better than a large number of nondescripts.
