One of the common troubles in hog
raising in the corn belt Is that Of
breaking down. Weak legs are due TO
improper feeding. The pigs will do
pretty well while with the SOW pro-
vided they do not get too much corn,
and they will develop very well on
good pasture, but when confined TO a
corn diet they cant develop good,
strong bone. Milk and grass contain
bone.making material, but corn does
rot. Bone meal, soft coal, wood ashes,
alfalfa hay or grasses, and such feeds
as contain plenty Of BODYBUILDING eIe-
ments, will balance the corn diet, GO
easy on corn except when putting on
tho flashing touches OF market hogs.
Just because it IS an easy feed to throw
out does not make 1t a proper feed,-
