to warrant the statement that there
are but few farms on which alfalfa
cannot be grown with much profit for
hog pasture and winter feed. With
sufncient good alfalfa, well stacked.
mature hogs can bs carried through
the winter In fair condition. with
three pounds Of corn per head per
day, and II necessary with much less
ofain.
A light grain ration II not the most
economical for growing pigs. unless
under peculiar circumstances. when
alfalfa is abundant, grain very high In
price. and market conditions warrant
holding the hogs. It seems probable
that two or more pounds Of corn daily
per each hundred-weight Of hogs II
more profitable than q lighter ration.
Mature hogs thin in flesh may be
expected to gain about one-half pound
per head daily on alfalfa without
grain.
Mature hogs, fed corn in Q dry lot
while being fattened. required nearly
'tneEhalf more grain to produce 100
pounds gain, and gave : daily profit
Of three cents less per hog than sim
liar hogs running on alfalfa pasture.
For fattening hogs that have access

pertinent station. where hogs were
pastured in alfalfa, each lot was kept
In a fiveacre field. Three crops were

loss due to the pasturing Of hogs 1t
one-half or less than one-half Of the
crop. This would be about one and
one-half tons per acre, during the sea-
son, chargeable to the hogs. Counting
the value Of alfalfa 1t fve dollars per

cut, there would be due from the hogs,
for each acre run over, SS.75. With .
medium grain, ration, seven hogs per
acre should not consume more than
one-half of the crop. This would
make the cost Of running hog on
alfalfa for the season about 80 cents.
To pasture mature hogs without grain
would cost more than twice this
amount Where hogs were fed heavy

should give about equal profits. On
der these conditions, four bushels of
barley are worth as much as fvo
bushels Of emmer.
Where barley or emmer is fed to
hogs 1t is more profitable to make the
ration one-half corn than to feed en-
mer or barley alone.
The cost of gain IL not reliable
criterion OF profit. A cheap gain may
be 30 slow as to be Improbable. Time,
labor and investment should be consid-
cred when reckoning profits. A full
grain ration. though making the gain
more costly. usually gives greater
profits, because of the larger amount
of business transacted In given time
with given number Of hogs.
Alfalfa may be fed with profit to
growing or fattening pigs In almost
any form so long as It does not make
up too large proportion Of the ration.
When cut and fed as one-quarter Of
the ration with ground corn, 1t ma

hogs, under ordinary conditions, would
be about the right number. This
would allow enough alfalfa to grow to
make three fair crops per year. The
fields should be small rather than
large, 80 that the part nearest the

although very little grain is necessary
for pregnant sows which are to far
row In the fall.
From the results Of these expert
ments and other tests It is evident
that alfalfa is a great aid in pork pro-
duction and that when It Is available
there is a profit in raising hogs. We
believe that there is enough alfalfa
