FEEDING WHEAT AND RYE TO HOGS IN MICHIGAN NEW YORK, Aug. 31—Farmers in Southern Michigan are feeding i their wheat to their hogs because I the price of the grain is too low , to justify their selling it and buy j ing corn for feed, according to a dispatch to the New York Tribune (Rep.). ‘‘Almost no rye will be market ed,’' continues tho dispatch. "This grain, at the present price of 40 ce-nts a bushel, is the cheapest feed tn be found for hogs and nearly the entire crop will be disposed of in this manner. The hogs which are eating these staple grains are not likely to bring a price that will repay the farmer for their feed when they shall 'have been sent to market. But the consumer will continue to pay a big price for fresh and cured ’ pork, it is forecast. WE WILL BUY your old school books. Only those in good condi tion wanted. Ask for list.
