| The Hog Crop |
| ***** |
| In this
connection we would suggest to the government to see that its packers do
not waste the offal. The Northern press is chuckling over the belief
that our railroad machinery will soon be crippled for want of oil. The
offal of the hogs in the hand of the government will yield an immense
quantity of oil good enough for greasing car wheels. |
