Grass for Pigs.

/ Pigs Ike grass, but they do not like
all kinds equally well. nor will they
thrive the same upon all. They have
a preference for the clovers, and will
shun orchard ar an other grass if they
can get the clover Therefore, in pro-
viding pasture for pigs, it is best II
give them a clover pasture. They viii
eat the clover with greed, and thrive
on IT, 1t is highly heterogeneous and
muscle-making, but it is not best to
expect the pigs to live exclusively on
this kind of feed They need a little
food that is more carbonaceOus and

in connection with plenty o. clover,
there is nothing better than corn. 1t
furnishes the necessary complement of
the cluver-the fat and starch il
is clean. sweet-fiavored food, aud,
therefore, makes good favored meat
Feed the corn or meal dry. The clover
is so succulent that the pigs crave dry
food in connection with it. So do all
animals feeding on grass, just as they
crave grass when feeding on dry hay.
A curious experience was that st the
Kansas agricultural college farm in
turning lot of pigs to grass that hal
run all winter after cOTn-fed cattle The
grass, except quarter of an acre out
Of an acre and half. was orchard.
with slight sprinkling of clover.
The quarter acre was alfalfa. The lat
ter was foot high, and the orchard
grass little shorter, but of thick and
rank growth, when the pigs were turn
ed in. They fed greedily on the alfal-
ia, and cropped TIE clover. but Stunned
the orchard grass, which was allowed
to 60 down and rot. They were given
30 grain feed What was the result
They began TO shrink in flesh. and in
twenty-sx days eight pigs that weighed
SOP pounds when turned &C grass had
shrunk to TO 1870 pounds. Then corn
was added TO their ratiOns. but they
had got such a setback that il took
nearly two months to get them back to
where they were when frat turned out.
This is q case of inJudIcious feeding,
nut very instructive. No private indi-
vidual could afford to make such an ex-
pertinent, but every one can profit by
the lesson taught. No one food fed to
any animal can be expected TO produce
