MONTANA HOGS SCORE AGAIN FERGUs COUNTY PORKE'S LEAD IN ST. JOSEPH STOCK MARKET. HILGER FARMER MAKES RECORD Geo. L. Fleming Made Initial Mont- ana Shipment to Missouri Mairket a Year Ago and Derives Handsome Profit on 'Wheat Fed Hogs Additional proof that Montana hogs, and particularly -the Fergus county product, are attracting atten- tian in the big livestock markets Is furnished in the following item, (ali- en from- the St. Joseph, Mo.,- Daily Journal: • 'Montana -perhaps has not. attain- ed, mach prominence as a hog -pro- ducing country, yet two loads. of ,ts•tate were cashed on the St. Joseph market yesterday. These hags were fattened and marketed by George Pleating of Hager, Mont. They have been fattened excaueivety on ;wheat -One load was gocd, enough to top,. Ate - market, 'reit:Hang $8.40.

About a year ago lee disposied/ of a load of hobs on this market, the first . hogs cver shipped from .Montana to' the lotai yards. The second shipment was , made by him' a few -days ago.\ . • In commenting on this chipanent the, Fergus County Argus Hays and aiateirta t cast of ! places it \at 46.36 per •hundreiaT 14 spite of the fact that the average cost is 'less then that on $200 an wre land In 'Illinois. .Mr.. Florae's check was $2,256.62. His costs, at 0.35 per hundred, were $1,453.20, leaving a net profit of $804.32. This Is a clean and aear profit of almost $7.00 per head or three 'cents per pound, after allowing Mr. Fleming, the same basis of cost as if he had, no other tnterest* than the 116 hogs in question.\ Is there any (ideation, but that it i•s profitable to raise hogs, in Mont ana, by _feeding them wheat, bar- ley, alfalfa, and other products , grown right at home?
