It Costs Something to Feed Hogs These Days.

Ray Caldwell, a well known farmer near Scircleville, Ind., is feeding 460 head of hogs for the September market. On last Saturday he bought two loads of corn for which he paid the sum of $272.55. He said the two loads would last about two days and that it cost about $136 a day to feed the hogs at the present price of corn. Mr. Caldwell expects to add about fifty pounds to each porker, „which will bring the weight to about 250 pounds. Each hog will bring about $45 and'the total amount will be something like $20,700.
