The Kansas station reports owe So
pounds OF gain on lot of hogs from q
ton Of alfalfa hay and,a little less than
800 pounds Of pork produced from m
acre Of alfalfa pasture. Alfalfa hiss
proved to be worth three times as much
az blue grass, and there are many who
claim that this estimate could easily he
doubled without fear Of contradiction
At the Nebraska station gains on hos
weighing 265 pounds were made at
s OF 2 cents per pound by feeding
a ration OF 3 per cent corn ut 35 cent?
per bushel in connection With nlfalfa
pasture. A 3 per cent ration Of corn
means an amount of corn equal to 8
per cent of the body weight of the hog.
By feeding a ration consisting of 20 per
cent corn and 25 per cent alfalfa hay
to 1G5 pound hogs in at'dry lot at tho
