Clean Pigs Are
Profits Result From
Sanitary Care.
That long-standing belief that a hog
is naturally a dirty creature who rev-
els and thrives in a mud wallow has
been completely wrecked by 500 lowa
farmers.
The fact is that the hog is as clean-
ly as any other farm animal, but until
recently has never had a chance to
prove it. Given clean pasture lands
on which to feed, instead of the old-
fashioned hog pen, regular baths and
clean bedding, the hog will produce
bigger and better pigs, and more of
them, At the same time the death
rate will be markedly lowered,
These are the facts brought out by
F. L. Quaife, farm expert, reporting
in the Farm Journal the results ob-
tained by the 500 Iowa farmers who
have given their porkers a chance to
lead hygienic lives.
Expose Hogs to Parasites.
Farmers who raise their hogs year
after year on the ground and
in the same unclean quarters are ex
posing them to periodical ravages of
parasites which kill off many and
stunt the growth of many more, the
test cases, directed by lowa farm bu-
rean experts,
In one case an owner put 18 sows on
alfalfa pasture land, washed
them carefully before they gave birth
to their litters and housed the pigs in
ean quarters where parasites had no
to develop. Of 180 pigs born,
fat and healthy.
other sows were kept in
piggery under the
conditions. These gave birth to
pigs, of which only 16 were
