Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 83, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 January 1910 — Hogs on Dairy Farms. [ARTICLE]

Hogs on Dairy Farms.

In a territory like the west, where the dairy interests are increasing rapidly. it would seem that there is an opportunity to raise a large number of hogs in connection with the dairies If there are any two animals which are particularly fitted to go together on one fdrm they are the dairy cows i<nd the pigs. In cases where dairies are run for city purposes and ail the milk sold direct there may be some excuse for the proprietor not raising any bogs, but on farms where only cream is sold and the skimmilk kept at borne the absence of a good herd of pigs shows bad management There Is probably no one article of diet that is cheaper or more capable of producing quick growth in pigs than fresh skimmilk, and the pigpen is the one market where every dairyman- can dispose of the surplus skimmilk with the greatest profit.— Farm Progress.
