what 10 Grow Tor the Hog.


There are some things that the
breeders Of swine are learning in
Colman's Rural World. Ono Of them
is that they must not rely 50 much
on corn in growing and developing
their hogs, for corn is developer OF
fat instead OF bone and muscle. n
good bone development Is required,
pigs must be fed on food tnat will
produce bone and muscle. Oats are
good for this purpose, so are peas
and bran and shorts and Iinsecd
meal, and the swine breeder should
have some OF or all these who would
have first class stock
Another most excellent food for
swine and. in fact. for all young
stock Is clover either as pa8tarage or
properly cut and cured. Where
alfalfa is raised. and it belongs TO
the clover family, hogs have been
raised and fattened almost entirely
on 10. Clover properly cut and cured
makes a good winter food for hogs,
particularly when cut up in q cutting
box and steamed or even wet up and
a little bran or ground feed mixed
with it, and nothing makes hogs
thrive better in winter. They need
something not quite so concentrated
as grain, and cut up and steamed
clover just fills the bill. Indeed
we'll cured clover hogs, after little
experience will eat oven dry and
uncut
