As there is great scarcity of corn in
the country, and farmers are likely TO be
much inconvenienced by it, for food for
their hogs, ain tempted to offer the fol.
lowing for their benefit: Cut timothy hay
very fine, and boil it we'll, to which add
one part of oatmel or bran, TO two of cut
hay This mixture will not only keep
your hogs well, but fatten them. The
same is good for milch cows. In 1874,
necessity obliged me to use the above and
it answered well.
