The Colfax. Wash. correspondent of
the Spobesman-Review says
Brown Bros, stock dealers shipped
another lot of hogs from here to Great
Falls. Mont, this week. They are now
feeding 500 head of hogs at the fair
grounds and have about $50 more on n
farm near town. There are several
large lunches in the county, and al
most every farmer has from 10 to 50
head. Probably the largest punches
are owned by J. r. Person of Endicott.
and w. l.. La Follett of Guy Mr. Per.
son has 400 head and Mr.. La Follett
something mar 500.
n gentleman who raised n good many
hogs i'm the last four or five years finds
the. most advantageous way OF hand
ling them IS to have large pastures
fenced with hog-tight fence. Grain is
sown each year and the hogs allowed
TO run in the fields until about a month
before harvest. The hoks are then kept
off the grain until IL ripens and is head
ed. After harvest the hogs are turned
in on the stubble, and when that gives
out are wintered on headed grain. The
headed grain is also used to fatten the
hogs. This method of feeding saves
the expense Of threshing the grain.
which is about onc-third the cost of
production, and the feed is said to be
as good.
