GREEN FEED OR HAY FOR HOGS.
Woodward Live Stock Inspector: An
experiment carried on a. the Kansas As-
r.cultural College sometime ago with pigs
on alfalfa pasture ald a light ration Of
corn shows that after dejuccilE the prob
able gain due 10 tho corn. there were T-6
pounds Of pork produced per acre of al
faIfa pasture. With hogs AT $50 per hun
bred hounds this gives $3.50 per acre for
alfalfa and the stand was not injured by
she pas.urinE. During the past six
months TWO experiments have been car
red on TO test feeding alfalfa hay 10
f4rtauirg hogs The first experiment
showed a gain OF SIS poundh of pork per
ION Of alfalfa. after deGuctiDC the gain
due TO the grain feed. In the second.
The hay was much inferior in quality to
the first. but showed a gain due 20 the
nav II - hounds. These experiments
with hocs at S2.2o per hundred. make the
alfalfa hay worth $2S.64 and S1-l5 per ton
respectively. The college bought il head
