Oak Lawn Stock Farm IMMUNED HAMPSHIRE BROOD SOW SALE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1919 80 TRIED SOWS, FALL YEARLIR6S AND SPRING GILTS Every animal insured lor 60 days lor 80 tf r ™*olpurohmay>rtot>lre' l °' oharo ° *° the purchaser by the Hartford Insurance Co. at the GAYETY AIRDOME, Rensselaer, Indiana MppTT* i»ii ■ ■ijij l < i 1, , (By E. C. STONE.) There were more than the usual number of public sales of Ilampshires held in the early months of 19181 and these sales all made very handsome averages and profits for the men who consigned to the sales. Ilampshires never have the make-bZve sales; no soap bubbles and no extravagant advertised prices which do not balance with the bank accounT Hampshire sale sells for cash and the clerk’s book and the bank account look just alike as never yet been a public sale of Hampshire hogs held which did not bring a good deal more than market nrice on all sale expenses. Better than 98 per cent, of the Hampshire sales which have been held m all of their oast history have averaged better than twice market price and sale expenses. This is satisfactory to any sill ml Extravianl promSs to pay for hogs at some time are profitable neither to the seller or to the purchaser. made their history the hands of poor men and men in very moderate circumstances. It is true that some rich men have been promoting and like the Hampshire very much but the been made very largely in the hands of men who found it necessary to make their own living. The summer sales ottne were more successful than any othef breed. No breed in America has enjoyed as good summer and fall sales as the Hampshire when the averages are compared and the selling price of all communities a Swine Record Association hat enjoyed a 100 per cent increase in tbeir business during the past year. They have built a new office which is the best and most modernly » £ a “[ “ . Association office in America recording hogs. This required an investment of $13,400. It has been almost ail paw by popuffir subscription; not a dollai has been taken out of the Treasury for the budding or equipping of [ht new homc There is a small mortgage against that home which will be cleared and a bonfire of mortgages Md rtuie National Swme Show the Hampshire showed more hogs than any other breed. The stranger and visitor talked of the Hampshire Show more than any other Show at the National this past year In fact, Um Hampshire has shown more hogs than any other breed of hogs at any National Swine Show since National Swme Shows have been held There has been one premium given to the breed which made the best and most attractive “ thaTpremium was won by *e Hampshire breed. The Hampshire has as a feeder in the past vear that more than 100 per cent, increase m feeders has been made in the year 1918. Ihe g eral increase in pork production has been a gradual increase to the extent of, according to various estimates, rom •20 per cent, to 30 per cent, of all pork production in America but the Hampshire breed has increased ovei 10 p cent. same penod of Idi owned 52 producing Hampshire sows in September and October of 1917. Those 52 sow turned onto Ife packers’ market in September, 1918, 132 tons, 500 lbs of pork ™s makes an average producing record for each sow of 2.52 tons. These hogs sold for the top of the market o n the day they went so the-packer. They showed a yield, when you include their sprmg litters, of almost sao,ooo intcash °r P or ' , sold to the picker, the produce of 52 sows. This shows a Hampshire sow, as a pork producer on the past >ear market, to be worth slightly over S9OO every year she is retained on the farm. In the state of Georgia was the largest and best quality Pig Club Show we have ever witnessed. They i shown by the hundreds yet a Hampshire gilt won grand championship over all breeds. Other Pig Club Shows of state organizations in size, throughout the'country, have been very largely won by Hampshires. The greatest winning that has ever been made by any breed of hogs m the world s lnstocy m state, national or other shows, was won by the Hampshire breed at the Chicago International m the closing days of 1918. This car of hogs had been grown all through the summer on a clover pasture, with two ears of corn per head per day. The first of September they were put into a small four acre pasture with a big, roomy house at one end of it. They were fed on ground rye and wheat middlings in a mash. They were fed all the corn they desired and thus fed until December Ist. They weighed 391 fbs. per head. They were so sensational m finish, size and quality that every one conceded they were the grand champions before the judge passed on them. Competing exhibitors, packers and commission merchants conceded it was the greatest car ever shown at a Chicago International. They sold for s2l per hundred, or $2.25 above the top of any other show car. They dressed 84.9 per cent, of their live weight, or more than 3 per cent, above the top dressing quality of any other car of hogs at the Chicago International and the nearest dressing car to them was another car of Hampshires. Killing sheets of the Chicago International car load exhibits of hogs in 1918 show that Hampshires far out-dressed any other hog shown there. One hundred and two head of Hampshire hogs of the same weight as the grand champion carcass in the single show dressea > 81.65 per cent, while the grand champion carcass dressed only 80.85 per cent, of his live weight. This 10- head in the car load exhibits dressed absolutely clean; not a single carcass was held by the Government for further inspection for any cause. The grand champion car load dressed absolutely clean, every hog making a perfect carcass with no mark of objection by the United States Government of any kind. Packers have written scores of letters congratulating Hampshire breeders, complimenting the Hampshire breed to the very highest comment. It is a prosperous era for all live stock men and the most prosperous of them all is the Hampshire breeder. The Hampshire breed of hogs is a breed with no “kick back.” They farrow large litters, their litters develop rapidly; in test cases have outgrown all other breeds at the age of six months, eight months, ten months and one year. They, develop healthy carcasses. They go to the packer and kill absolutely clean. The Government mspectors in the packing houses have commended the Hampshire for killing clean. This shows them to be a healthy In the recent International, there were 28 cars of hogs of all breeds in competition; they were all sold at public auction; eight of these cars were Hampshires. The Hampshire out-sold all other breeds; the winning car by $2.25 per hundred above the price realized for any other breed. The average selling price of the eignt Hampshire cars was still 1.5 cents per hundred above the top price realized for any single car of any other winnmg hogs. The average price of Hampshires was far above the average price of any other breed, notwithstanding that only two of the Hampshire cars were awarded a prize je{ their average price was still above the tip-top price paid for any single car of any other breed. The Hampshire has won upon honor a record for itself which has never been ' equalled by any b/eed of hogs in American Swine Husbandry. The Hampshire brood sow insists upon helping her owner do pars of the work. She will gather her feed she will grind her feed, make her own bed and carry her carcass to market and top the day ’s selling price. , i
