An address to town farmers by William Hester argues many hogs are fattened and sold at actual losses due to an overreliance on corn. Pigs and sows fed a corn diet grow restless and underfed, invite pests, and final weight yields negative profits as owners continually revert to corn.
A Wallace's Farmer writer says new corn alone does not prevent hog cholera as the disease is germ based. Free feeding new corn is risky for brood sows and growing pigs while mature hogs gain from corn. The piece advises varied diets with oats and damaged grains until fattening, then corn. It also cites Indiana’s remark on Uncle Sam and reports South Africa war results boosting US livestock export prospects and horse and mule prices.

The article outlines how every body part signals meat quality and profitability. It notes a well-formed steer shows in head, throat, shoulder, bones, and joints, with flesh, fat, skin, and hair indicating proper development.
