a farmer living in Oaio county
figured out that he made 81 80 a
bushel on wheat fed hogs. This is
probably too high rate of pr oft but
it has been cIeurIy demonstrated
that wheat fed to hogs will at least
bring 5 busheI that way. 1t beats
selling it at 80 cents by leo per cent
at the least calculation. In feeding
wheat to hogs it should be mixed
with other food, and the finishing
done on corn.
