Harvesting Corn BY Hog Power

Harvesting Corn by Hog Power.
4 The cheapest way Of harvesting corn
is to hog it down. It has been found
at the North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton that hogs make use OF the corn
and make as good gains as when the
corn is husked and fed to them. The
hogs will make better gains, if they
can have an alfalfa or rape patch in
addition to the corn. Give the hogs a
trial. Il IL " AZ 3
