Those experienced and skillful farmers, the Lebanon (N. H.) Shakers, state that more than 80 years practice leads them to estimate ground corn at one-third higher than unground, as food for cattle, and especially for fattening pork.
The same experience also induces them to put a higher value upon cooked than upon raw meal; and for fattening animals, swine particularly, they consider three bushels of cooked equal to four bushels of raw meal.
Until within the last 3 or 4 years they have fattened annually, for 80 years, 40,000 to 50,000 lbs. of pork, exclusive of lard and offal fat; and their constant habit has been to cook the meal.
