Value Of Pasture for POS.

A recent bulletin OF the Missouri
State Board OF Agriculture quotes
G.. w. Waters as follows:
I'VE will now state two propositions
bearing on economy OF production.
First. while the pig Is not considered
primarily n grazing animal from the
fact that he cannot be expected 10
make gains and grow fat II turned
onto common pasture grass like cat.
tie, sheep or mules. yet. as a matter
OF fact tRe pig will make better re.
turns for the amount OF grass eaten
than any other farm animal More
over. the pasture will increase the
efficiency and value OF the grain fed
In connection with IL. The second
proposition Is this: The pig Is a grass
feeder and will eat too much OF rich
feeds. as grain. more tnan he can
use economically. more than he can
digest well. consequently greater
gains from a given amount OF corn
are obtained II the pig Is fed less than
he can or will eat. This statement
applies with especial force In cases of
long feeGlng period. The two propo-
sitions just announced. are brought
out In th following report OF tests
made az the Wisconsin station, six
lots OF pigs being used:
Let 1. full fed. In a dry lot. gained
il5 pounds per day aud used 537
pounds OF corn in making loo pounds
OF gain.
Lot .. full fed. on clover pasture.
gained 1.39 pounds per day. and used
III pounds Of corn in making 100

Lot .. three fourths fun. on clover

377 pounds OF corn IA making Zoe

lot 4. ono-half fun. clover pasture
gained 81 pounds per day and rcquir
ed 352 pounds OF corn to make lOu
pounds OF gain.
Lot ., one-fourth fun, clover pas
ture, gained Ga pounds per day. anl
required 2i3 pounds OF corn 10 make
100 pounds OF gain.
Lot 3. no gain. clover pasture
gained SO pounds per day.
In lot > there is a sudden drop over
lot / In the amount OF corn required
But In lot 3 there is still larger
drop. Nearly three bushels less OF
corn Is required TO produce 100 pounds
OF gain over dry lot feeding. For
growing hogs n still larger reduction
OF corn is advisable. The rate OF gain
Is slower. but IL is vastly cheaper. Il
Is however wise practice to full feed
for the last 30 days before market.
