"AOGGING OFF" PRACTICAL
Pigs Can Husk Corn More Pro-
fitably Than Farmers.

There is no better way to fat
ten hogs, with profit to the
owner, than to turn them loose in
the corn field and let them pick
the corn themselves. This is what
is called "hogging off corn. -
It was found in experiments
by the Minnesota Experiment sta
ton and by practical farmers in
all parts of the country that this
method of fattening hogs is a
profitable one. Everyone who
has tried it agrees that it is an
economical method OF fattening
pork. The time required to husk
and crib the corn is saved. Not
only that, but the hogs get the
corn when it is fresh and more
relished No wonder. then, that
the Station found that moro
pounds of pork could be made
from a bushel of corn by "hog-
glng Off then by eating huSbed
corn.
All that is necessary to make
the plan a feasible one is to
obtain enough fencing to en-
close a small area of corn. 1t is
not advisable to give the hogs a
large field to run in at the OUT
set. There will be too large a
waste. Twenty pigs weighing 100
pounds each, or their equivalent,
should not be allowed to run on
more than one acre at a time. On
the average, an acre OF corn
should Last these pigs from two to
three weeks.
Hogs may be confined in the
field us long as weather is suitable
They should not be turned in UNI
til the corn has ripened. Farmers
should not hesitate to try this
method of pork production, for
it has been found entirely practia

For many years there has been a

every session of congress there
have been anywhere from Il
dozen to- three times that many
blLls intended 10 cover the mat

was vigorously attacked by the
veteran parcel post advocates,
whose leadership is represented
by the Postal Progress League
of New York. The zone system
they declare is no parcel post at
all, and they will never be salts

people say that this in itself does
not in the leastwise represent the
parcel post idea. Despite the
popular idea that the express com
panies have always fought the
parcel post, advocate and oppo-
nents alike of the various mea
sures declare that the express
companies have never shown
their hand, and that the opposi-
tion has come from the railroad
companies, the wholesale mer-
chants of the large cities, and
the country merchants Some OF
the bills that have been before
congress aim at the purchase OF
the express companies by the
government. while another propo-
sition is that the railroads shall
be prohibited from subletting the
small package privilege. and be

other classes OF freight. The op
