Owing to the high prices of grains, the production of pork with grain alone is not nearly so profit- able as it once was, It takes five or six pounds of corn in dry 'lot feeding to make a pound of pork. With corn worth around 00 cents a bushel and hogs selling at five or six cents it was possible to make money 'by feeding in dry lot, writes Mr. L. Weaver. When corn is worth around 00 cents, however, it is readily seen that profits from feeding hogs are reduced materi- ally unless a cheaper way of pro- ducing pork is practiced. Results of. extensive investigations MUDS' sections of the United States indi- cate clearly that, pork can be pro- dueed most cheapl,y by . feeding grain in combination with forage. The kind of grain to feed depends, of course, tipon the forage crops. In general, when the forage is a legume, sixth as alfalfa, clover, cow - peas or soybeans, straight corn is the grain to use. 'With non -legumi- nous forage, such as bluegrass, rape ancl oats, sorghum or rye, 00010 should be supplemented with lin- seed oilmeal, the ration being -six parts corn to one part oilmea1. While the kind of grain to feed is important, the amonnt of. grain is of equaA, if nob greater importance in determining the eeortomy of grains. It has been demonstrated at different experiment stations that the best forage crops are little Mom than a anithithincince ration, If gains are to be obtained, then, it is necessary to feed some grain in addition to the forage. 'The great - eat economy of gain through the use of forage is obtained when 1% daily for each 100 pounds of live weight. The best general rule is to feed enough graiti to cause the hogs to make a daily gain of three fourths of a pound for each 100 pounds live weight. Where alfalfa can be grown suc- cessfully, there is probably, no for- age orop that will give better re- sults for swine feeding. An acre of alfalfa will pasture, during the grazing season, from ten to twenty, shoats. The important point to be observed is not to pasture too close. ly. Best results are obtained by so pasturing that one or ,two outtings of hay may be taken off the field during the season in addition to the amount foraged off by the hogs. Red clover probably ranks next to alfalfa as a forage -crop for swine. It will not feed So many hogs per acre and does not furnish pasture for so long a period as al- falfa. It is, however, one of the best forages. In pasturing tlhe clover, care should be taken.not 310 turn the hogs in on it before it is ten to twelve inches high and it should nob, at any tit-110,Am pastured too olosely. Rape in which has been sown a few oats, makes a most excellent forage crop. Itt is a rapid growing, sueenlent crop and hence it is well adapted' for swine pasture. Good results may 'be obtained by aowing five or six -pounds ahead of the drill and then drilling in one half bush. el of oats. Six to ten poinids of clover sown .at this time is also. good to add to the mixture, Ile hogs should not be turned onto the rape pastare until fourteen to eight- een inehea high. If nob pastured too closely and the season is favor- able it will come on again thus fur- nishing pasture for .tt long period. Summertime 1)airy Rations, Ily feeding the COWS Welt during the summer, we have many points to be considered, all planned long before thatto two pounds of 313111 are fea Each pasture lot will keep a greater number of cows in prime condition and profitably. The pas- ture land will nob :deteriorate in value as it would if overstocked. We consider that the cows that are kept in excellent shape through- out the summer months by supply- ing them with both grass and dry rations will not consume such a large quantity of either as they would if fed on a single ration of grass. When winter feeding sets in the cows will have become more thor- oughly accustomed to eating grain and roughage and there will need to be no change in the feeding — lust; a alight increaae in the quan- tity with no bad effects brought on as is usually the case when the change of feed is made from grass to heavier rations.
