Excerpt: This is not a phenomenal hog farm. Surely there are others as good, and there may be many which are better. This story tells how a farmer in Woodford County, Illinois, raises hogs successfully. If the soil is more fertile than the soil of other farms in that section it is because of the soil-improvement policy of its operator. The farm equipment is neither elaborate nor expensive and the owner has in mind many improvements which may come with the dawn of a more prosperous day. A large volume of business is done on this 160-acre farm, considering that the owner does all the work with the help of a hired man during the summer. This farm is planned to follow a definite system of hog production with as little unnecessary work as possible
