THE HEALTH OF SOUTH DAKOTA

DIR. S. A. Brown Of Sioux Falls is
right in criticising the South Dakota
legislature for the failure to pass laws
safeguarding the health of South Da-
kota people. His statement that more
protection is given to live stock than
to children is a striking epigram which
while overstating the case serve to-
call attention to the serious defects in
the health laws of the state. 1t Is to
be hoped that his address forecasts an
other and more determined effort by
the state medical society to reorganize
the state board of health into an eff
~fective force. It is not the fault of
the members of the state board that
more has not been done. It has been
composed regularly Of men standing

Colorado Hog Feeds.
BY II. NJ. Cottrell of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College.

Z
cultural College.
Field Peas-The chief pea feed
ing section in Colorado is the San
Luis valley. where the altitude is
about 1900 feet. Field peas are
seeded on unplowed ground i'll
fields of 40 to 800 acres. The
vines grow and bloom, and the
pods fill until killed in the fall by
the frost, when they cure on the
ground without being cut Hogs
are turned into the field, gather
the crops, and when fat are ship
ped to market.
1t costs, including the rent of
the land. from So to ST an acre to
raise peas, and feeders estimate
an acre of peas will put upwards
of 400 pounds gain on hogs when
pastured off.
Sometimes the peas are harvest
ed and stacked, and the unthreshed
vines fed from the stack to hogs
confined in yards. An acre of good
peas fed in this way will put from
900 to 500 pounds of gain on hogs.
Sometimes the frosted vines are
left on the field until they become
well cured, and are then gathered
without being cut with the bull
rake used in haying. Some vines
are left where the bull rake is
started in but as soon as full
forkful gathers on the rake, the
vines are taken up clean without
shelling; when load is gathered
the rake is driven to the stack and
the vines placed on the stack with
an ordinary hay stacker Three
teams and five men with this
method can gather and stack 20
acres day at cost not to exceed
81 an acre.
The pork from hogs well fat
tened on peas is firm sweet and
tender, and has most delicious
flavor The following figures show
the actual cost per acre to a grower
in the San Luis valley:
