d AS to root crops for hogs to be
eaten in the field, my observation
and experience both teach me that
the sweet potato and peanuts have
by all odds the greatest feeding value
when fedin the raw state. Either
of them makes good, firm pork. The
Irish potato is gOOdin a cooked state,
but my hogs do not eat enough of
them raw to keep them il. good con-
dition. The artichoke, with me, has
never come up to it's advertised
merit. Hogs are very fond of the
chufas, but the lard and meat are
both too oily and it. is difficult to
firm the meat even with corn.-T. j.
