GREEDY HOGS ARE DESIRABLE
Oregon Station Finds BY Actual Feed

Most Profitable.

The Oregon agricultural station has
found out by actual feeding tests that
the hog which eats most greedily is
the most profitable. Thirty pigs were
divided into three lots. the heaviest
eaters in one lot. and others graded

A hundred hogs like the heaviest
eaters at the rate of gain made and
present prices, would make a profit
of $29765, or almost exactly 50 q
head. A hundred like the poorest
feeders would have made a profit of
$115.65, or only a little more than a
dollar a head. They were evenly
graded as to size and sex. II there
