ECONOMICAL PORK_ PRO- DUCTION. in the past some objections have been raised by the packers regarding the use of forage plants and roots for pork production, but the light of re- cent experiments would seem to show their fears and objections groundless; in fact the good influence of a con- siderable portion of green feed. or roots in the ration of a pig can scarce- ly be overestimated. It has long been known that skim milk has a most beneficial itiluence upon the thrift of the porkers, and quality of the pork, even when the amount fed forms only a small part of the ration. Green feed and roots seern in a large measure to be capable of supplement- ing the now—in view of the tremen- dous expansion in the Oanactiaii bacon industry—quite inadequate supply of dairy byproducts for uee itt pig feed. ing, The farmer whose conditions permit may go even farther than to use forage pIants as a supplementary food. He may even make them the chief item of his pig feed ie he is care - ltd to use a good proportion Ot grain, (oats. peas and. (Arlen.) (hieing the last month of Me feeding period. A.s the seasoit is rather Inc advanc- ed for an exhaustive discussion of for. age crops suitable for this impose, I shall confine my reruarks to such as are still seasonable. Ceoven:—Probablyrio crop is better adapted to young pigs than clever, and a bit of clover stubble need for this purpose will give very. good re- turns. So Inc as our experaneats go, the pork so produced is of good quali- ty-. RAP4-0f all the crops used hero so fax for pasturing pigs, rape cpeite ea,sily stands first. The principal points in its favor are (1) its muck growth, (2) its wide range, as it grows well on almost any kind of land, (3) its long season, as it may be sown as late as September and still do fairly well, (I) its evident palatability, as the pigs eat it greedily, and (5) its good effect upon t,he quality of the bacon, producing as it does, almost in -- variably a good firm carcass. Rape may be expected to be fit for pastor - age from six to eight weeks after sowing. It should be sown itt rows about 21 inches apart, sbace wisen so grown it gives the greatest return per acre, and is best adapted. for pas- turing. It should be sown fairly thickly in the rows, say, three lbs. of seed per acre. An acre may be ex- pected to carry from twenty to forty pigs through the season, depending on the season and the condition of the crop when the pigs are turned in VE'reaBs:— Vetches also are valu- able as forage for swine, and may be, under exceptional conditions, sown late in the season. Especially is this true of tbe Hairy Vetch, which speci- es has the peculiar quality of grown- ing up again after having been cut of or eaten down. Cense—Probably no green crop will give a better „return in poik than oats. They may be sown late or early, in the season at the rate of 5 or 0 bushels to the acre and the pigs turned on about a month after they germinate. The fault of this crop is that it hate only a sbort, time, as it does not seem to be able to recover when once eaten down. ARTIcROKEs: — Another crop of great value for pork production is the artichoke. It should be sown late in the fall or very early in the spring. The pigs may be allowed to feed on it in October and the early spring. They will do the harvesting themselves. This is a most excellent crop for brood sows in spring and. autumn. Almost all varieties of juicy forage crops are suitable for pork production, the sorts mentioned above being pro- bably the best for Canada. The questioe as to the advisability of allowing pigs to graze, or shutting ia a stria peri and feeding them the green crops, does not seem to have been positively settled yet, for while greater daily gains may be expected where anintols are kept in close quarters, there is always the item of extra labor for cutting and carrying the forage. Another item of some importance to the feeder is the comparative economy of Winter and sammer feeding of pigs. A.ccording to various experi- ments conducted here recently, pork may be produced et about $1,00 per hundred pounds, live weight, less cost in summer than in winter. This seems to be dne to less cost of green feed, as well as to low temperature, which must be overcome by food or by artificial heat. H.
