Hampshire Hog Development in 1919

Many breeders and persons connected with the Hampshire Hog thought at the end of 1918 that this great breed had reached its zenith during that year, and competitors stated that the Hampshire Breed had done all it could, and would not advance any farther. After our triumphs of 1918 in feeding, breeding, showing and selling, while we rested and viewed our laurels, it seemed even to us as though these conjectures might prove true and the Hampshire Hog could reach no higher pinnacle of fame than it had already attained. But the Hampshire Hog, being the greatest of all breeds, knows no zenith; it is impossible for it to reach an apex or topmost point of perfection. The ideals of the breed, or what appears to be the topmost point of perfection, are like the ideals of our childhood; when we have approached them they are like a kindly moving star, advancing and making new points of perfection, when we have attained all that our ideals held, and have reached the greatest point of perfection that the human mind could have imagined. T" 18 was our condition at the opening of the season of 1919. No other breed ever attained such records as were scored by the Hampshires in 1919. They stood above the records of others in the single class, in the carload class, in the Pig Club Shows, in the Health Record and m NTpf TTTPQQiTity RpcnTH The Hampshires started out with a good sale season in 1919; no flighty prices; no SI,OOO per head of $l,lOO or $1,500 per head averages in a single sale, as published for breeding stock by some other breeds. Let them lay claim to all of their unwarranted prices, yet the Hampshires, with their top sale average resting at $338.00 per head, at the end of the sale season, outstripped their nearest competitors in the sum total of sales, with an average of SB.OO per head. This is an attainment that no other breed has ever laid claim to. The Hampshire did without all of the make-believe stuff and kept their feet planted on the ground, making honest, straightforward paying records, and at the end of the season could greet the world with the record price, selling over all breeds at Public Auction on the average. . Following immediately was the report from the Kentucky Agricultural The mammoth Hampshire Barrow had outgrown all their favorite hogs; he had stood the test of time and answered to every class call during the year, and when the school year was passed he marched upon the platform and laid down his life for further educational purposes. He possessed only 6 per cent bone jbut he was as perfect on nis feet as the best hog in the school. He weighed about 600 pounds ana dressed in honest-to-goodness meat 90.291 per cent of his live weight. I

This is a better record than any other hog has ever been known to make and it came from the Kentucky Agricultural College. Then we hear from the Nebraska Agricultural College. We are told that the Hampshires are growing together with the so-called Big Type Poland Chinas, living in the same lot, eating the same feed, drinking water from the same trough, and sleeping in the same bed; but the Hampshires each month run from 10 to 20 pounds ahead. Wonderful! Hampshires outgrowing the Big Types. The finish of this experiment was the International Live Stock Show at Chicago, the Nebraska Agricultural college furnishing the Champion Barrows. They showed one of the best demonstrations ever looked upon in breeding pen. At one year old, the Hampshires were more than 100 pounds per head the heaviest, same conditions of raising throughout. In the carload classes were shown the same sensational results. The Hampshires had the best hogs in the heavy weights and won first; in the medium weights and won first; in the light weight class they didn’t have any Hampshires; couldn’t keep them small enough, while other breeds couldn’t grow their hogs fast enough to get out of the light weight class. Several cars of Hampshires were started to feed for the light weight class but they all got too heavy. The heavy weight Hampshires became the grand champions over all breeds, and sold for $20.50 per cwt. The average selling price of the Hampshires was sl9 per cwt. The average selling price of the Durocs was $16.13 per cwt. and the average selling price o|f the Poland Chinas was $16.19 per cwt. This shows how much more the packer thinks of the Hampshire Hog than he aoes of the other breeds. The two highest priced cars were Hampshires, one selling for $20.50 per hundred, the other for $19.00, while the first priced car of Poland Chinas sold for $15.00. Thus with the International of 1919, with records far superior to what they were a year ago, we have gone beyond our idea of perfection of earlier days. The Hampshires have become 'Grand Champions Over All Breeds and Reserve Grand Champions Over All Breeds. Now there are still new worlds to conquer. It has been said that during the year 1919 more new men, that never before had owned a registered beautiful and bright future that has ever been known. The man who before. The new recruits have numbered into many thousands and many have come over to us from other breeds. We look into the most hog .have purchased Hampshires as their first pure fared hogs than ever buys a Hampshire now, is the man whoi has started for the greatest and most popular future success.
