Every bushel of wheat fed to hogs will
contribute that much toward reducing
tho surplus wheat in this country and
tend to stimulate prices. -Four years ago
corn was worth Z cents per 5ushel iu
Nebraska. There was general move
ment for its use as fuel. It was cheaper
and better than coal; cheaper and better
than wood. The surplus was consumed,
and now corn is worth more than wheat.
Feed wheat, feed it to chickens, to hogs,
sheep, cattle aud horses, only feed it
carefully, and it will again pay to raise
wheat.-Fargo Argus.
