Weeds That May Be Utilized.

Many weeds can be utilized with advantage. Pnrslaine is highly relished by pigs, and the same is true of plantain. Rag weed and pig weed will also be eaten. If the hogs are made to consume these plants the labor of eradicating them will cost but little, as they can be converted into pork. There is no plant that grows more highly relished by the hog than pig weed. Young crab grass is also accepted.
