PIGS THAT PAY
It has been noticed by those who take considerable interest in the pig industry that however bad prices may be there is nearly always a good demand for well-grown youngsters that have been done well. Naturally, when purchased by those who want to turn tLe mover quickly these youngsters require less attention and less feeding to make them come to the right weight for tho butcher (states the Live Stock Journal, England). They have had that good start in life which means everything to them in the future, and which in its first stages costs so little; for so much can bo done byfeeding the pigs through the sow. No doubt in the near future there will be quite a good trade for pigs, and there are already pointers that show that the slaughter of sows, and breeding stock generally, that took place last autumn is now being reflected by the fewer pigs on offer. Therefore, those who are in the best position to judge predict a shortage of pigs in the spring, or even before that.
