work is left. Another potent cause for
the great loss may he found In Leonar-

went to Milan to study the problem

detached from the wall, and none of
them has suggested plan by which

The main expense In raising swine Is

hogs are fed in this way they do not

MUTTON FINISHING.

selling feeders ind finish everything at

grain ana hay grower In the west will
need every sheep and lamb available
as n medium for converting his crops

commodity. This is why Michigan,

feeders in the future. If they Intend 10
