food depends upon the cooking. II fed

National Live Stock Journal. Thisis due
to the fact that the potato is composed 90
largely Of starch as to make cooking an
almost indispensable did to digestion A
little raw potato is beneficial 10 the hogs
stomach when fed largely upon corn. 1t
is laxative and cooling, alloying the fever
ish tendency arising from the heating e.
fscts of corn. When fed TO realize the
most benefit from them for fatteaing, they
should be boiled soft, and if grain be fed
with them they should be cooked together.
Potatoes aud corn 60 well together, the
former giving bulk and the Inter concen-
