BEST HOGS FOR FATTENING
Pigs Weighing From 1870 to $50 Pounds
Should Be SeIected-Corn as
Supplementary Feed.

For fattening, select pigs weighing
from 100 to $50 pounds and in good
condition. They should be fattened
for at least 60 days and perhaps 70,
if it requires so long to bring them up
to weight of 1870 to 200 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight at which
to put hogs on the market and animals
of this weight in good condition will
bring top prices.
In feeding corn as supplement to
pasture, begin with a daily feed of
three pounds of corn for a hog weigh
ing $50 pounds. When full feeding
has been well begun, one may feed all
the corn the hog will clean up. Kafr
milo or feterita may be used instead
of corn, but the amount required will
be little larger.
