You needn't expect to reap much
profit from gorging your hogs and
cattle on pumpkins for a few days
during the harvest season; then cut

feed for another whole year. Store
your pumpkins in the field.
Pile the pumpkins in a row, as high
and as wide as you wish, cover with
hay and set up fodder on each side
TO a thickness Of three or four feet.
This not only affords ample protection
from the cold, but also enables you
to form a most profitable balanced ra-
