A CoRREsPoNDENT of an Eastern paper,
referring to the fact that pork is sometimes
found of yellow color, says that ii results
from the too free use of corn for food. He
says that about the time hogs are finished
off, farmers often make q mistake in feed
ing too much unmiXcd grain. The result
is bad digestion and yellow fat. Mixed
feed should be given to the last-roots,
pumpkins, apples, with corn. AS u rule,
you can get them to eat more grain and
take on more flesh than by diet of rich
food only.

will lick up with relish, and you will be
rewarded with an abundant supply of milk
and your cows will keep in good condi'
tion.
