Corn rais ed on laud that will produce forty bushels per acre will cost around 70 cents per bushel to produce charg-l iug for man labor at 30 cents per hour. If sold as com on the farm at $1.00 per bushel there is a profit of ?50 cents per bushel, or $12.00 per acre. N )< When this corn is properly sup plemented with balancing feeds and fed to hogs; the hogs sold at $8.25 j)er 100 pounds, delivered at the farm, and the cost , ,of the sup plemental feeds then deducted, the returns for corn will be about $1.30 per bushel. The profit per bushel if=' thereby doubled, and the plant food value of about 15 cents per bushel, will remain on the farm, thus pay ing handsomely for the trouble ol" selling tlie corn in this way. When fed to liogs we have a pev acre profit of: $24.00 and ii return per hour for human labor devoted to producing fhe corn of slightly oyer $1.00 or $10.00 per ten-hour day. This is one of the reasons why prop erlv fed live stock is more profitable than' the customary method of figur ing shows states, W. W.
