Market Toppers

It is the aim of every live stock farmer to have the buyer say to them, "Top o’ the market to you.’’ Experienced feeders achieve it. but rarely beginners. Pig-club members have topped the market on the first hogs they have raised. These members followed the instructions given them by the pigclub agent stationed in their state. They fed balanced rations, kept the hogs free from lice and worms,- and made their hog feeding a business enterprise and not a venture. In Oklahoma 23 boys and A girl sold their pigs to the two Oklahoma City packing houses at top prices, going 35 cents above the top of the market for the day. These hogs averaged ten months of age and | 344 pounds *n wpjght. Elevetgof them were Judged as perfect market type by the buyers, And only one scored,below 90.
