Grinding Corn for Hogs Illinois College of Agriculture has come up with the answer to whether or not it.-pays to grind corn for hogs. They found that for pigs under 150 pounds you seldom,-save enough money to p a y for the grinding. For hogs oyer 150 lbs., you save about five percent of the corn. Therefore, if grinding 100 pounds of corn-costs less than the value of five pounds,.you. can afford to grind. ,V ' ’ * V- < l.i '* ' l *-• (Mi? Church Services METHODIST CHURCH William B.
