Don't Feed Whole Soys

The problem of soft pork has been d
serious one In certain hog producing
sections for many years. notes the
Prairie Farmer. Some markets get
a large proportion of these hogs and
necessarily buy on a lower price
range than the markets OF the corn
belt In recent years soybeans have
been introduced into the corn belt. and
because OF low prices many farmers
feed them to hogs. Soybeans contain
a high percentage of oil, and this oil
causes soft pork. While sorbeans are
valuable as a hog feed for their high
protein content. they should not be
fed to hogs that viii be marketed
Feeding of the meal after the oil In
removed Is safe and does not cause
soft pork.

what he did to remain happy was
probably to live as nearly as pos

had always led.
No n pitied Justice Holmes for
not being able to retire. and. at
eighty, do the things | wanted TO

wanted to do are very likely, with
most of us, to be food for just a
summer, and to pail before a vaca-
