Corn is high-priced even though the South and the coun try as a whole have produced larger crops than usual. This high price and the fact that the Soutfy will need all her corn be-1 fore the next crop is harvested | make it important that we waste; none in fattening our hogs. In some sections the hogs are fat tened largely on peanuts, in oth ers velvet beans are largely used, while still others use soy beans. These are our cheapest hog feeds when gathered by the hogs and their excellence is notquestioned; but the hogs should be fed some corn while grazing these crops. The hogs will not only pay a good price for the corn, but the feed ing of say a quarter of a full feed of corn each day will give a high er value to the peanuts, sov beans and velvet beans. Then, for the last four or five weeks before the hogs are slaughtered or sold, the ration should consist of corn and cotton seed meal alone—one part of cotton seed meal to two or three parts of corn. The gains made by the hogs will about pay for the feed and the quality of the carcass will be much improv ed, because the corn, and more especially the cotton seed meal, firms or hardens the fat.—The Progressive Farmer.
