Feeding Hogs Alfalfa Hay.

Mr.. M. J. Mills, Corsicana, Tex,
submits the following queries:
l. Should alfalfa be cut several
times in order to keep it in heal
thy condition for hog pasture?
2 How many pounds of pork
will tonof alfalfa hay make when
fed to healthy, thrifty hogs?
Whenever alfalfa is used for
pasture and there are not hogs
enough to use it up, it should be
cutwheneveritreachest the bloom
ing stage. Ii it is lot cut the al.
falfa becomes woody and it's
growth is also checked. Cutting
OF alfalfa causes it to send out
new sprouts that are greatly
relished by the hogs.
The pounds of pork prodrc, d
by ton OF alfalfa hay viii vary
with the individuality of the hogs
and especially with the quality of
hay. In an experiment carried
out by the Kansas Station it was
found. that alfalfa hay that was
cut late and had many of the
leaves shattered showed a gain
OF only 333 pounds of pork per
ton ON alfalfa hay. Another ex.
pertinent where the hay was cut
and cured earlier, and the leaves
remained on stem, the hogs made
S6S pounds of pork per ton on
alfalfa hay. We do not consider
the results as being due entirely
to the nutrients contained in the
alfalfa. The alfalfa hay gives
variety to the ration, makes it
more appetizing and the hogs eat
more grain. Best results in tee6
ing alfalfa hay to hogs usually oc.

1t will be readily seen that this
affection is more easily proven

to see that the stock are provided
with plenty of water at all times

Swine Feeding Experiment.

The animal husbandry depart
ment of the Iowa Experiment
station has just published the
results OF a most interesting
swine feeding experiment, re-
Gently conducted by Profs. W. J..
Kennedy and f. Il. Marshall.
The test was one of the most
satisfac tory tests ever conducted
at Ames. Five lots of hogs were
fed the following rations; Lot l.,
corn meal; lot 2, corn meal five
parts and one part beef meal; lot
3, corn meal five parts and one
part Swift's digester tankage;
lot 4, corn meal five parts and
one part Armour's tankage; lot
5, corn meal and Standard stock
food.
The following are the conclus-
ions drawn by the experiments:
l. That in fattening of young
hogs a ration containing more
protein and ash than corn ra-
ton gave better results than sole
corn ration.
2. That a ration consisting of
five parts corn and one part
Swifts digester t r1kage yielded
over "a per cent greater net prof
its than a ration of corn alone.
3. That a ration consisting OF
five parts corn and one part OAR
lipg's beef meal yielded over "a

THE DEMAND FOR LAND.

In the arid tracts of the United
States the Federal and State
Governments still own an i'm
mense acreage, but at present the
bulk of it is not available for set
Element because, while there may
be and in most cases is water
enough for irrigation, the work
of bringing that water. 20 the land
has not yet been undertaken.
With the law as it now stands this
will come in time, but at present
it is interesting to note the enor
nous demand that there is for
land all over the country. Some
few reservations have of late
been opened to settlement, and
the rush to get the acres have
been wonderful. Realizing how
ever, that the supply of Western
lands must soon be exhausted uns
til the Government irrigation
project mater,alizes, holders of
hitherto worthless marshv
ground i'll the corn-beit are start
ing in to ditch and drain and rem
der fruitful tracts that SO far have
not yielded hay crops, let alone
anything else, In Indiana and IL
linois, for instance. within short
distance of Chicago, very extern
sive drainage operations have
been commenced with a view of
increasing the amount of land
that may be utilized for crop-grow.
ing. To drain properly all this
deep, peaty marsh. even in the
single district named, will cost a
lot of money, but it is alleged that
the work was begun on account of
opportunities of certain men who
entered into contracts to pur-
chase the lands after drainage at
stated figures per acre ranging
from $40 to SlOO. So urgent a
demand for land has rot been
known in the United Statss as at
present exists, and as conse-
quence values are generally
higher than they have ever been.
The reclamation of so much
rich land must make for the agri-
cultural prosperity of the States
in which tits going on, just as the
construction of adequate irrie "a
ton facilities will increase the
farming wealth of the arid States
when they shall have been COM
pleted. The marshesadjacentt to
the southern portion of Chicago,
in the great city itself even, are
bottomed with soil to the produc-
tiveness of which there is no end.
When once drained and tiled the
most bountiful crops of all sorts
will be garnered. All down
through the Eastern portion OF
Illinois and the Western part of
Indiana there are hundreds of
thousands of acres of this sort of
territory that only need the as
sistance of the ditcher's spade
and the title tomake as good land
as can be found in these States.

gagged in rendering it available
