should supply the ground with plant
food, but nitrogen is hard to catch, or

the conclusions drawn that dry corn
Is highlysrelished by hogs and the most
convenient to feed. Owing to the
greater time required to masticate it,
pigs ate 1t more slowly than soaked
corr aud cornmeal.
The fastest and most economical
gains were obtained by feeding dry
ear corn until the hogs were close to
200 pounds in weight. Attention is
called to the fact that whether fed dry
or soaked before feeding. a bushel of
corn ground without the cob made
more pork than a bushel of corn
ground with the cob. \ bushel Of ear
corn made as much gain as one and

Writing on this subject, the Ameri-
can Swineherd says:
The farmer who makes a practice of
raising grain exclusively. hauling il

himself, or, in other words, depicting
the fertility of the farm.
Every year as the crop is gathered
and sold off the place it is left with de-
creased productive power for the flu.

the value of the soil and shipping to
the market. 1t is selling your farm
virtually through the elevator.
Selling the corn by the hog route or
through any other live stock is retain
ing the fertility. BY a proper system
of diversified farming and rotation of
crops you can build up and improve
instead of destroying the productive,
