Fred w. Ladage. who farms 40
acres of the Charles Ridgely land in
Sangamon county and manages the
other farms, has some definite results
from "hogging off, corn. that lead him
to be very favorable to this method Of
harvesting the crop. He produced
$4,000 pounds of pork from one 40
acre piece of poor corn. which as near
as he could estimate, would have
yielded about 50 bushels per acre.
The hogs were turned upon the corn
after it became hard and remained
there till the first of December. about
two months
The exact increase was obtained by
weighing the pigs when they were
turned into the corn field and again
when they had finished it. While in

40-acre field containing a catch crop Vi

out November 4, and were sold the

Hogs were turned into this field al

pounds. The hogs remained in the
corn after the cattle had been re-
moved and finally sold at S4.20 and
$4.5O-with a probable average of

that the cattle and hogs made re-

1t is necessary of course to remove
the fattening hogs before the corn is
so reduced that they could not get

it convenient to turn in some sows
and pigs to clean up the last of the
corn.
The hogs get practically all of the
corn; this is shown by the fact that
only very few volunteer plants
come up in the field the next season.
These cattle and hogs had the run

Another special benefit from hav-
