COOKING FEED EoR SWlNE.-Last Feb
ruary, NJ. L. Dunlap, Champaign, Illinois,
wrote on thi, subject as follows; II am
now feeding some thirty pigs, several
mich cows, and fattening two dry ones on
potatoes. bran and shelIed corn, boiled to-
gether. I think the potatoes for this pur-
pose will net me in the cellar from thirty
to forty cents a bushel. Not that they
would be worth that amount boiled and
fed separate, but in art adding value to
the corn. 1t has become pretty well set
tied pointin the management of swine to
full feed them from the pig until ready for
the butcher, This wintering of store hogs,
as they are called, simply getting tt m
through the winter, is poor policy. It is
far better to push them right along from
the first. To do this warm pens and cook
ed food are the elements of success. A
bushel of corn boiled is worth nearly, if
not quite two in the raw state and if a
peck of potatoes are mixed with the bushel
of corn 1t makes better relish for the food
and is lesa heating. Many farmers give
their work horses noon fe6d of potatoes
two or three times week, and find it yal=
liable. n-RurdL NeU Yorker.
