Feeding Hogs.

AS a rule it viii not pay to hold the
pig crop for prices to rise unless they
are making good gains all OF the time
they are being held. Where few feed.
ers win out in playing the market

There is little sentiment connected
with feeding a bunch of hogs and
few of us would be in the business
were it not for the profits which 1t
should afford
With cheap corn and other grains
any man who could buy a few pigs
and finish them for market could
make a little profit, but it requires
skill and ability to grow pigs and fat
