Ask d cattle feeder in the corn belt
how he is coming out with his steers,
and he will say that if his steers don't
make him any profit his hogs will let
him out. So often does this happen
that the hog has come to be an i'm

cattle-feeding operations Indeed, if 1t
were not for the grunters the business
of cattle feeding might be a precarious
one. There is a sad lack of profits as a
general thing, in handling hogs, just
because there is sorry lack of man
agment somewhere. The essentials
are the countless little things which
no one can teach another, and these
have more to do with it than general
