Green Food for Hogs.

There is a growing tendency to give hogs more green feed than formerly. Because hoga are kept in the pen, or not given a wide range, is no reason why they should not have plenty of green feed. They can be soiled as well as cattle, and will relish all kinds of green feed that may be thrown to them. Peas and oats, put in early, make an excellent soiling crop for hogs, and are of the right kind to put on muscle and promote growth. Corn properly grown may follow thepe. But do not " drill it in or plant it thickly," as we pee an exchange recommends. You want all the substance in the stalks that can be got into them, and the most is obtained by planting in the usual way for a field crop. The corn should reach the milk stage before being fed to the hogs, as it then has accumulated all the gums, sugars and starches for the nroduction of a full crop of grain. By planting at different dates they may be kept in a full supply of green corn from the middle of July or first of August until frost cornea. The same is true of peas and oats. — Nat.
