But not so gentlemen. If we admit that they are the big money, we must also admit that it takes big money to buy foundation breeding stock, and I think I am safe in saying that nine tenths of the farms that are well stocked with a good class of breeding mares had the mortgage lifted before these horses became a prominent feature of the live stock. ¶ […] But it will be at least three years before the beef steer is ready for the market, or the dairy heifer ready for the pail; then it is evident that as \"mortgage lifters\" horses or cattle are too slow. ¶ Well, how about the hog? Yes, my friends, \"it's the pig that pays the rent,\" and if he is the first to pay the rent he will be first to pay the interest, and if first to pay the interest, then he will be the first to reduce the principal and the first to lift the mortgage.",
