Pigs on Pasture.

The annual report OF the Oklahoma
Experiment Station says:
April 81, 1899, eight pigs were divid-
ed into two lots, one weighing ESQ lbs,
the other 270 lbs. They were placed in
alfalfa plats of about one-half acre
each, one lot receiving no other food,
the other full feed of Kafir meal or
shelled corn.
During five weeks the pigs with no
food but alfalfa made gain of 81 lbs,
or 1925 lbs, each. For next three
weeks, to June %, they gained only
even pounds, less than two pounds
each.- While there was a good stand
of alfalfa and the season was favor
able for it's growth, the four pigs, av-
eraging about 80 lbs, each kept it well
eaten off.
The four pigs full fed grain with the
alfalfa gained 1919 lbs, in five weeks,
or practically 80 lbs, each in 30
days. In next three weeks they gained
125 lbs, or nearly one and one-half
pounds per day.
With this last was a SOW with a lit
ter of pigs. She gained 81 lbs, in
first five weeks, when she was removed,
her five pigs gained lac lbs, in first
five weeks and SO lbs, in next three
weeks. A young boar in same lot
gained 46 lbs, in 26 days, and 20 lbs,
in next three weeks.
There was fed to all the pigs in this
plat 1858 lbs. corn and Kafr. They
made total gain in eight weeks of 764
lbs, using only 2.21 lbs. grain, in addi-
ton to the alfalfa for each pound OF
gain. Counting the small pigs with
the others the grain eaten was less
than three pounds per day each.
Obviously the grain feeding was
profitable. Possibly equal or greater
profit might have resulted if only par
tial feed of grain had been given. The
plat p%asturing the pigs with grain feed
carried at least one-half more stock
than the. other. but the alfalfa re-
NAMED green and fresh.
Six young brood sows, with pigs,
were kept during same period on a
small native grass pasture with access
to a very small quantity of the drop
pings and waste from feeding the work
teams. They gained SO lbs. in five
weeks, and 80 lbs. in next three weeks
The SOW which had been full fed grain
on alfalfa pasture during May, was put
in this pasture June 1 and lost II lbs
in three weeks. This trial illustrates
the fact that our native grasses will en-,
able pigs to make some gain during
the early part of the season. They be
come less palatable as the season ad
vances.
