County swine breeders’ associations have been developed on some scale and for the most part have been of two kinds; one for the purpose of ship- ping market hogs, and the other with the end in view of promoting and sell- ing registered beeeding animals. It has been customary for either of these organizations to purchase feed co-op- eratively whenever the need of import- ing feed arose. About eight months ago a co-opera- tive shipping association was organ- ized in Smith county, Texas, by the extension swine husbandmen of the United States department of agricul- ture. During the past winter and spring this club has marketed nearly; $200,000 worth of hogs at an approx.l-' mate saving of $60,000 to the pro- ducers, Previous to' the formation of; this marketing club it was customary: for the local buyers to purchase the hogs, ordinarily paying, about 5 or 6 cents below the market price for the fat stock. The get-together club has saved for its members much of the profit formerly made by local stock buyers, Its secretary reports that un- der co-operative shipments the aver- age cost of freight, shrinkage, com- pounds of hog on the hoof has amount- ed to only $1. How Shipments Are Made. The secretary of this shipping or- ganization is the local county agent, and whenever enough hogs are ready to ship from farms of the club mem- bers to make up half a carload he orders a car and advertises the fact that he will ship hogs from the county seat on a certain date. At the specified time the other farmers in the county that belong to the association assem- ble their hogs dt the station, where the stock is loaded, and shipped to the Fort Worth market, the county agent accompanying each shipment in order tc see that it is sold to the best ad- |: vantage and also to make sure that, the different grades of hogs are weigh- ed separately. . When the stock is loaded at the shipping point the animals are welgh- ed and usually classified into three grades and thus tagged. A receipt is glven to each member who is shipping hogs for tlie number of pounds that he 8elivers to the car and the grade that his hogs came under. After the hogs are sold and the county agent returns to the country, he divides the net recelpts among the various ship- pers, alter the entire costs have been deducted, according to the number of | pounds of pork, on the hoof, each man ; shipped. Recently the hog farmers of Smith county have organized a pure-bred swine breeders’ association’ that is un- der the same auspices and has the same officers as their market associa- tion. These stockmen intend to pur- chase, in the North, one or two car- loads of good, registered breeding stock of the highest type and quality. ! The local banks have agreed to furnish ' the money, giving the members one year's time in which to pay the debt! and requesting each of the members to purchase at least one pure-bred animal. Animals of only one breed of hogs will be purchased in order that| the county may specialize in quality hogs of special market uniformity, in addition to selling breeding animals to the surrounding communities. In Nacogdoches county a swine '|purebred Chester White sow and lit- ‘ln pork production. The present de- jmand of the South for good pure-bred 'hogs is very keen, so that there is lit- itle danger of overstocking. Some of 'the hogmen hold annual co-operative Ipure-bred sales twice a year, and offer ‘nothing but the highest quality of animals, which are extensively adver- tised and usually sold at a profit to 'the owner, while they almost invari- iably promise attractive returns to the lbuyer when properly handled, Consid- erable hog trade with Mexico is being {developed by Texas stockmen. Mexico iprovides an ideal hog country, but on account of disturbed conditions dur- ing the last eight years the domestic thog industry has been almost obliter- |ated. ' Texas swine raisers have organized a state assoclation, which is used to ico-ordinate all the cournty dctivities, iwhe't'her they are marketing or on a jpure-bred basis;, and up to the present this organization has worked out very successfully. The state society is of great benefit in developing and im- iproving a county organization, as well ‘as being of special value to its individ- ual ‘wembers, both in an educational /and an economic way.

Boys who own purebred animals are llikely to grow into men who are inter- ested in keeping the best types of istm:l: on their farm, live stock asso-' ‘clatlons are realizing. Many associa- }tlons are offering encouragement and iprlzes to the boys in the purebred animal club, supervised by the state colleges of agriculture and United States department of agriculture. The ;prlzes are usually for the best rec- | rds in the feeding or growing of pure- bred animals. At the Delaware state Ifair Thomas E. Jeffries, Jr., of Stan- ton won the state sweepstakes on his ; ter. In recognition of this achieve- |ment the Chester White Swine Record association presented him with a $10 membership. . At the same fair Frank- lin V. Maull of Cedar Grove.won the sweepstakes on his Durco Jersey. The Duroc Jersey Breeders' associa- ition sent him an engraved gold pen- cll holder. His picture and that of his pig, the feed record and his clyb story ifor the year will be printed in the jassoclation’s achievement book, which lls sent all over the United States. / | - - ; A self-feeder is particularly desira- ible for fall pigs.
