Mr. Clarke says that at first thought a !farmer is inclined to think it does not pa yt0 feed hogs ith corn at the present high price of the grain but that a little calculation will show feim clearly that while the price of corn j has only doubled, the price, of pork has quadrupled, therefore if there ever was anything in feeding hogs with corn j there is profit in itnow.
