s.tion among western farmers to save
all the work possible, and they are
generally quito ready to be convinced
that there Is the reverse OF economy in
cooking food for hogs.
During tho civil war pork and the
grain used to produce It were very
high. and farmers were DESTROYS OF
making as many pounds Of pork from a
bushel OF corn as possible. Experi-
ments made by some noted feeders M.
parently demonstrated the fact that
corn ground and cooked and fed to
hogs ready to fatten produced nearly
twice as much pork as that which was
fed on the ear. On the publication Of
these reports In the newspapers there
was a great demand for farm.mills and
cooking apparatus. Manufacturers
were not slow to meet the demand.
They put on the market and displayed
at fairs a great variety OF boilers,
steamers and cooking.tanks, and dis.
posed OF them at very high prices. In
the course OF a few years there was A
great reaction Many who had pur-
chased apparatus for cooking food for
hogs declined 10 use IT, Some declared
that hogs were moro healthy that alto
raw food, while they gained quite as
fast. Some experiments were reported
that went to show that such was tho
case. II is certain that the practice of
cooking food for hogs was generally
abandoned throughout the grea, eorn.
