PREPARING CORN FOX SWINE
Method Of Feeding Hogs In F~attening
Carefully Studied by Iowa Ex-
Pertinent Station.

In the new Farmers Bulletin (No.
4s7) of the experiment station work
by the department Of agriculture,
Washington, is an article on the prep
aration of corn for hogs.
Among many farmers the time-hon-
ored way Of feeding Ut to hogs Is
to shovel 1t to them directly from the
earth, but many careful, progressive
feeders have come to feel that the
simple form in which corn is supplied
by nature can be improved. The grind.
ing and soaking of corn r thus
given an influential degree of support
because so many of the best pure
bred hogs in the country are fed their
corn in this manner
The question of the most econom-
ical method of feeding corn to hogs
has been very carefully studied by
the Iowa experiment station. The
fastest and most profitable gains were
secured by feeding dry a corn until
the hogs were close to 200 pounds in
weight. Then if the hogs were to be
fed longer, and the weather permit
ted. the most profitable gains were Sc
cured by changing them to soaked
shelled corn. Fall pigs and spring
pigs carried over to be fattened the
following spring were handled most
proftably by feeding dry ear corn un.
til the weather became mild enough
for soaked corn in the following
spring, and then feeding soaked
shelIed corn until the finish. II
should be borne in mind that corn
soaked twelve hours gave better re.
suits than that soaked t~wenty-four
hours.
