How to Feed Hogs.-The Western
Rural says: 1t is mistaken policy to
feed hogs on corn only, when keeping
them in standing condition. Corn is prin.
cipally carbonaceous, that is, fat forming.
Hogs fed on corn alone, on reaching a
certain stage of fairness, will put on no
more fat. When it is desirable to delay
the process of putting On fat; with a
belief that late market will be the best,
the hogs should have heterogeneous food,
or that containing a portion of the phos-
pilates, such as thrashed oats, or food con.
tanning portion of wheat-bran, both of
which are bone and flesh formers; the
growth will then be continuous and un-
checked. 1t is better to mix the diss
sufficiently to Develop every part
of the animal; this also induces healthy
condition. In this way the fatteni ng pro-
cess may be continued much longer than
when the hogs are fed exclusively on
corn.
