This is the time of the year that the pigs owner is thinking of putting piggy in shape for a trip to town. Corn is the greatest food for putting pigs in condition for the town trip. According to circular No. 9, of the North Dakota experiment station, bar ley is the next best feed. Oats can also be used, but should not form more than one-third of the ration for the fattening hog. For the growing pig it can form as much as one-half of the feed. According to this circular the best prices are paid for hogs weighing 180 to 225 pounds and the most profit will be made on the hog that can be made to reach this weight by Dec. 1. This can be done with the 125 to 150 pound bog by pushing it. The 50 to 100 pound hog will need to be fed a growing ration for at'least two months before starting to fatten it. A good growing ration can be made up of one-third barley, one-third oats and one-third shorts. If the shorts are not available, barley and oats can be used half and half. At the present prices of grain better returns can be secured from feedihg it to hogs than by marketing it direct. The cir cular discusses the best ways of fin ishing and marketing the 1915 hog crop.
