 Corner
Hogs on Alfalfa.

In raising hogs on alfalfa you are right in suggesting that much depends upon soil, natural moisture conditions, water or irrigation, etc.
 But if one knows how many hogs can be raised under certain conditions, then he can form a pretty good estimate of what can be done under other conditions. And as I tell the farmers here at our institutes that it is their experience we want and not their theories, will give you my experience.
 I have some very definite experience extending over five years in raising hogs on alfalfa. The soil is a deep sandy loam, having a fair amount of alkali, and therefore you see not exactly sandy. It holds moisture we'll and has had two irrigations year, one about February, and one about June. The Alfalfa re- mains green through the hot summer and grows we'll until September, when it grows but little until rain comes in the fall. The land would produce five tons of hay in summer if it were not pastured at all. There is plenty of feed for the hogs from February 20th until about the 20th of November. Half of the time during the winter there is green feed, some alfalfa and foxtail, but the hogs must have little grain in the cold weather. As soon as the alfalfa starts in February, the hogs have no

 Dairying, Stock Raising and Everything Pretaining to the Farm. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

grain at all-nothing but alfalfa and water until late in the fall. The best time to market is from August to De- cember. The hogs will always be fat and thrifty then. They must be taken off of the green feed for three or four weeks and must be fed on grain of some kind to harden the flesh and take away the fshy taste.
 The first year I tried the experiment 1 measured off just five acres of alfalfa and put in 100 head. Twenty head to the acre, you see. The hundred head did not keep the alfalfa down and I was compelled to mow the lot once that summer. The next year I put thirty five head to the acre on the same five acre lot. That was five to ten more head than should have been put in. It is not good for the alfalfa, or the hogs either, to stock the land too heavily. But made the five acres carry the hogs through with the exception of three weeks time. A week at time three different times I turned the hogs out on other alfalfa, after I had cut a crop of hay off, so as to give the hog lot a chance to get start.
 These hogs did as we'll as any I ever had. Many time I strolled around among that 175 head of hogs with great satisfaction, as they lay stretched out in the shade in the heat of the day. They were all in fine healthy condition and
The Imperial press., 1904-12-31

most of them were fat. The first of September the entire lot averaged 170 pounds.
 Under the conditions we have here twenty to twenty-five head to the acre is about the right number.
 However, the kind of hogs they have in Arkansas would not do that we'll on alfalfa. A man once told me that he went down to Arkansas to buy some hogs. And the first man he struck told him that he had 100 head of three year shoats for sale. He said he bought them and it took him three years more to teach them to eat corn. 1 have al- ways kept wellbred Poland-C China hogs. That is, high grades and few pure bred hogs among them.
 It takes twelve to eighteen months to make hogs ready::for the market the way 1 have described. Occasionally 1 meet a man who objects to that length of time. He says, we used to make hogs
 
 ill seven to eight mcntl,s. We'll if man wants to feed grain all the time with his alfalfa he can mature them in much less time than twelve to eighteen months. The length of time, provided it is within reason, is not the question so much as the cost of the matured ar ticle. Hogs can be grown very cheaply on alfalfa, but it takes more time than if they were raised on grain.
 Henry Miller, the cattle king, says he can grow hogs on alfalfa at two cents per pound and make money.
 All the pigs that come one summer can be turned off the fall of the next summer, and sometimes the young hogs can be wintered with very little grain.- Cultivator.

day school. The convention is to get
every person who processes Christi
anity to work to get others to en-
brace Christ. Bible study is lacking
and if there were more Of this, there
would be more Christian workers.
Those who attend the convention are
the best workers and busy people are
doing more glorious free will work
for Christ than idle ones. If the
workers would not flee from interde-
nominational work much more work
would be done i'll many ways. The
convention is to prepare the workers
and to give them new ideas. All are
channels or barriers to those seeking
Christ, but all must be channels and
the barriers must be swept away.
Most Sunday schools are merely
drifting, without port Or pilo:.'
Rev. Shamhart.
Rev Shamhart, Of Champaign, Ills,
spoke as follows: "The relations be-
tween UNCONVENTIONAL and interde-
nominational fellowships are vital,
and the former should be elm
mated. The denomination is the prime
factor in the solution of every prob
lem of Christian work and has a great
deal to do with making the Sunday
school an agency and means for bring
ing lost souls to Christ. Fellowship
brings strength at all times and
strength does everything in the Sun
day school world. Unity gained by
fellowship, is the most noticeable
thing in American life and to get
this denomination boundaries should
be forgotten.
Mr.. Meigs' Excellent Talk.
Mr.. Meigs spoke on "The Home
Department; How it Succeeds; Why
it Fails" "The home department is
the best of all, its object being to
open the Bible in the homes. It opens
four doors. One of usefulness to those
tied up with other business; one of
ness or feebleness; one of the Sun
day school to those who care not en-
ter it; and one of the church, to those
who otherwise would not be interested
in it at all. The home department in
creases instead of decreases the work
attendance at Sunday school. AS
samples Of what the home depart
ments have done I mention the fol-
lowing-in family of ten this de-
partment converted seven; it increas-
ed the attendance Of one Sunday
school to forty instead Of fifteen; it
succeeds under the guidance and
blessing of Him, under intelligent,
persistent and systematic effort,
under thorough understanding of the
work, under prayerful effort. 1t fails
because it lacks the above essentials

ent loses interest, when visitors fail,
