Cost of Fllttoning Hoge,
One of the chief problems before -
the pork producer is, what is the
must pr'ulitabie ration to feed '1 'The
Proper standard from which to de-
termine the most profitable 1'tttioa
is the alnoul)t of feed of 1a certain
kind required to produce a unit of
increase in weight and the rate at
which the increase is made, 'These
are the same in all parts of the
country, while the cost of the eari-
utts kinds of feeds and, therefore,
the cost of gains from the taritluct
feeds will vary in ahnost every lo-
cality, writes 1411r. \V. k, Snyder.
The results of extensive anti thor-
ough experiments, extending
through a period of five years, by
the Nebraska, .Experiment Sta.ti011,
are here given, the priees used in
calculating the results being as foi-
lows : Flogs, per 100 113., 55.90; corn,
per bit., 47e; wheat, bu„ 70e; bar-
ley, bu., 40c, ; emmer, bit„ e03; rye,
bu., 500; »alio, bu„ 140c; cane, bu.,
505, ; oil -meal, ton. 5:30; tankage,
ton, $40; bone -meal, ton, 530;
shorts, ton, 52.1; alfalfa meal. ton,
515; chopped alfalfa, tun, 510; al-
falfa flay, 1011, 55.
11'ec(1 other than alfalfa for con-
venience is terlue11 grain in the re-
su1ts given. Where chopped alfalfa
or alfalfa meal was a part of any
ration, in the experiments, all the
grain was ground. The alfalfa -
meal was mixed with the grain ;
the chopped alfalfa was put in the
trough and grain poured over it.
The feed was moistened with water
after being put in the trough. The
feed was weighed separately for
each lot of hogs, at each feeding
time, In all elle experiments the
hogs were weighed every second
week.
The animals had access to water
at all times, unless the weather was
sued that the water froze. During
such times water was supplied three
times each clay or as often as there
was any indication that the hogs
cared for it. Water was supplied in
the fields by means of agravity Wa-
ter system that kept fresh water in
cement troughs at all times.
Results: The feeding of various
proportions of alfalfa in a ration
of corn, as alfalfa hay, chopped ha.y
and as meal, indicate that the ra-
tions rank as follows:
First --One hundred parts corn,
alfalfa hay in a rack,
Second—Ninety parts corn, ten
parts chopped alfalfa.
This'd—Ninety parts corn, ten
parts alfalfa meal.
Fourth—One hundred parts corn
alone.
Fifth—Seventy-five parts corn, 25
parts alfalfa -mead.
Sixth—Seventy-five parts corn, 25
parts chopped alfalfa.
Seventh—Fifty parts corn, 50
parts chopped alfalfa.
Eighth—Fifty parts corn, 50
parts alfalfa -meal.
The first three rations stand c1oae-
ly together,
Of the many rations tried for fat-
tening, none has been found the
equal of corn, but the high cost o11
wheat makes the gains more ex-
pensive. The profit per pig, if Beit
one-half Dorn while being grown
and fattened, is less t11au if fed
corn. This is when both grains are
fed with alfalfa,
A ration of barley and corn with
alfalfa does not give as fast gain
or as much profit per hog as a ra-
tion of corn and alfalfa.
The substitution of five parts
tankage, five pants bonemeal, or
25 parts shorts for corn in a ration
containing 90 parts corn and ten
parts chopped alfalfa, increases the
cost of gains mad decreases the pro-
fit Per nig,
The substitution of 25 parts em -
mer, barley, wheat or milo, for
corn,
in a ration n COntal
a
ing 90
parts corn and ten parts chopped
alfalfa, increases the cost of gains
and decreases the profit per hog,
excepting emmer, which in this
test, only, increased the profit per
hog. The wheat increased the gains,
but decreas d
e the profit. Barley
and mild increased the gain as well
as the: profit,
The result of one test indicated
that a bushel of corn Was worth acs
much as a bushel and a half of cane
seed when fed with alfalfa for fat-
tening hogs.
Where fall pigs were • wintered
and turned on alfalfa pasture in
the spring. there \vas more profit
per pig from those grown out'large-
1,y 011 pasture and then fitttened'
than from those grown fed 01Lt more
quickly.
Four seaeon's records that
'hat
old sows being fattened on cern
and alfalfa pasture gained two
pounds per head daily al 855
pounds of corn for 100 pounds o'!
gain, and gave a net profit of over
five cents each daily.
A summary of results indicates
that the cost t of feed to produce a
225 pound market hog was $3.35 per
100 rounds and that keeping tho
hog 01111.141 it 1\'ci5hed 325 pounds' in-
creased the cost to $73,157 for 100
pounds. 'Phis it eillties only the 6011i
