Plan No. 610. Hogs Are Money Makers
You will note that the following profit was made before we were thinking of war. Hogs are always profitable. Here is Mr. Farmer’s statement of what he did with a few hogs in Washington state.
“On September 30th, 1913, I owned twenty cows, thirty barrows and gilts, and one boar, worth approximately $610. During the following year I fed $704 worth of pasture and grain, all of which were produced on my farm. On September 30th, 1914, I owned twenty cows, eighty gilts and barrows, two boars and 120 pigs, which I figure worth $2,090, making a net profit of $750, exclusive of labor.”
Why will people insist on living in the heart of the city, with poor living conditions for their families, and work like slaves without a ray of hope for their future, when the country is only a few miles outside with good schools, plenty of fresh air, sunshine, hills, pastures, woods and streams and always a good environment for the family, and the best kind of a living and an easy possibility of plenty? Answer the question if you can.
