Experiments with pastures and self -feeders ; at Brandon ,Bxperimental Fame have shown that it is possible to make good gains at the rate of 300 to 400 Pounds of grain to the 100 Pounds of pork with the addition of pasture. Pasture cannot be usea satisfactorily to replace grain, but it may very pos- sibly rednee the grain consumption by one-third. As the pasture can be grown very cheaply and the pigs do the harvesting themselves, the cost of producing a pountl of perk may be re- duced 20-25 per cent. This may mean the difference between profit mitt losS. There are a considerable number of crops that May be used for pig pas- ture. The ordinary grain crops, such, as wheat, oats, barley and rye, are quite suitable. Sown in the spring, these crops are ready‘for pasturing fet the time that spring pigs born in March and April are'old enough to use pasture to advantage. Spring rye is the first of these crops to be ready to use. These pigs eat it well and pro- duce good gains on it. However, it soon passes the most palatable stage and becomes more WOOdY as it shoots into head. Oats and barley are about a week later than rye in reaching the prober stage for harvesting, but are relished rather more by the pigs and continue in a suitable' conaltion for pasturing for a. longer time. Wheat also produces good pasture, but is no better than otlaer gralrie and. the seed is moreexpensive. For later summer and fall pasture, there is nothing better than rape, Sown in early spring it is ready for pasture abbut the middle of July, or, ff sown later, it reaches pasturing stage In about sae weeks from the date et sowing.
