From the Farmers Record.
ON FATTENING PORK,

Mr.. TUcKER.-Thr falIening of pork
has become an important business with
the farmer, by reason OF its inIrinsic value
and great usefulness in every family, ii be-
ing substitute for almost every other kind
of meat. 1t never clogs. and never goes
out of fashion: hence the great aud ill.,
creasiug demand, high price, and ready
market. About Ten years ago the medium
price was three dollars per hundred, and
the greatest part was fauened on corn uu-
ground and uncooket. From that lime
The price has gradually improved, under
increasing facilities (nr fauenins, until now
the price is 500 per hundred, aud it is
made mostly without corn. Potatoes boil.
ed, and peas raw for while, constitute
The main food, TO which latterIy have been
added pumpkins, apples, and harley. with
an improved process in feeding by boiling
slcanling and grinding, by WHICH the guam
,i,y has much increased, and the business
been made more profitable. The improv-
ed breed Of hogs has also had its Influence
in moving the farmer 10 pay attention to
feeding and TO advance The quality and
quantity Of his pork, until no part of The
farmers business is more advantageous.
Good pork may he had on raw apples
alone-pumpkius, apples, and potatoes,
steamed or boiled and mashed together,
or with any or all Of these, with barley,
oat or pea meal mixed with Them; bu:
much 20 ID pork has been made in this
county tOnondosa) wilhou' The meal
have some little experience in feeding
pork, and will slate it. | commenced
farming where now reside, in 1927, and
until three years ago, l falteneh from 60
to 80 hogs year, and mostly on corn;
when potatoes were fed, they were boiled
and fed with corn meal. ! took the price
along as The market Offered: and however
low tho price of lands, labor, corn and
store hogs as well as pork, it was rather
lean business. When, three years ago,
my corn was killed by the FROST, and roll
ted on the ground, so that ] did not harvest
hushel. potatoes were worth 5O cents
per hlishel at the cellar, and all my coarse
grain wanted for my cattle, l concluded
to feed the hogs that had on hand, ten

They had had the run Of all orchard and
grain field and were in good condi'ion.-
