CRABS FOOD FOR PORKERS

Nature is helping the producer grow
food at minimum cost for the saboring
masses in Delaware. High in nutritive
value and also appealing to the tastes of
working men in this State is hog meat,
and as the price Of beef has been al
most prohibitive, at every laborer's
home, and especially farm houses, one
will find large pens filled with swine.
But as the price of corn has scared be-
yond all expectations, making the chief
food for pigs out of reach of the ordi-
nary pulse, and which is fed by the
farmer would make it impossible to pro-
duce pork meat at price that many in
this section could afford to pay. But
just as corn began to bring unheard-of
prices nature came with aid. This year
from Kits Hammock to Broadklin
Beach, the shore has been lined with
king crabs. and the producers have
found that in the live state these crabs
have made par excellent food for
hogs, and after every high tide wagon
loads are being carted from the shores
to the pens, thus enabling those raising
hogs to feed them nourishing food with
out incurring any great expense; and if
no unforeseen contagious disease attacks
the herds the Delaware laboring man
next winter will be able to obtain his
accustomed food without straining the
strings of his pocket-book.
