Excerpt from Report by Mr. James M. Sinclair on the Hog-Raising and Pork-Packing Industry in the United States, and on the Live Stock and Frozen Meat Exportation of the Argentine Republic Many farmers in Victoria could not fail to notice how hogs will thrive when turned into wheat stubbles which do not seem to furnish much feed for them, and it seems feasible to imagine that they would do excellently on sheaves of wheat fed to them. In feeding dry threshed wheat to hogs, farmers in the States stated they masticated it better when it was fed to them sprinkled on the grass, where the latter was not too long. In this way they ate slowly, not having the opportunity to bolt it the same as if given to them in a trough. An enormous consumption of wheat took place in the United States between July and December last in feeding to hogs and all farm animals, consequent on the partial failure in several states of the corn crop and the cheapness of wheat.
