IS ALL CORN BEST ?
season For Hog Fatteninx
10 With Us.

We are around To the season of fat
tening hogs again. wish we depend
ed upon the hog more than We do. We
should depend upon him not only for
the meat supply in the home. but We
ought 10 have one or two punches Of
hogs for sale each year. The hog Is
the real mortgage litter. and il We
make his acquaintance in a thoroughly
sincere and careful way. he will dem
onstFate his ability to get rid Of any
mortgage On any piece Of land.
But h. can not do so if we depend
on some little pen where he has linn
tied quarters and little care. The hog
needs plenty Of grass. In other words
he IS a protein feeder. like any other
animal We would always bear in
mind that young animals are building
up flesh and muscle and need plenty
OF protein or muscle-making eonstitu-
ents
Now corn wont supply that alone
Whcye We depend on corn almost
wholly as food for pigs they get
extremely far but have little lean
meat mixed with the fat. II. on the 9TH
er hand. We balance the rations We
can marble the meat, and place streaks
or lean all through the fat. thereby
making the pork choice and palatabIe,
and really delicious in every sense of
the word
Now, how can we do this We can
do Il BY feeding some other food stun
in connection with the corn 1t is

the corn that we would otherwise give
10 the pigs, and in exchange get some
