Alfalfa Ideal Feed For Hogs.

Alfalfa alone is a good maintenance
ration for hogs, but combined with
corr nothing will equal it as a flesh
producer.
If alfalfa cannot be fed clover, rape,
rye, peas, oats and wheat shOuld be
used. Alfalfa chopped and ground with
corn in equal amount Or three to one
produces excellent results.
Alfalfa meal under $40 a ton is said
by some feeders to prove profitable.
Alfalfa pasture is a great thing for
hogs and One Of the most important
crops q hog raiser can grow.
The Nebraska station fed eight lots
on various feeds-corn and bran, corn
and shorts, corn and alfalfa hay
ground and cut, corn and bran and
corn and shorts. Both the alfalfa meal
and the chopped hay were prepared
at the station, the meal by running
the hay through a grinde and the
chopped material by cutting the hay
into one-half inch lengths with a ST
lage cutter.
The test was planned so that the
cornmeal with chopped alfalfa and
cornmeal with ground alfalfa hay were
compared with mixtures Of corn and
and corn and shorts with corn
meal alone
Some of the mixed ratiOns were
made up of three parts of corn to one
part of the other products, and the
other half and half.
For convenience ground corn was
with the cut or ground alfalfa
hay, and the ration was mOistened
with water before feeding. This pre-
vented the feed from being blown by
the wind and induced the pigs to eat
the alfalfa better than they would
otherwise hay done.
With the ration of corn and alfalfa
in equal the result was a
gain of five n One-half pounds in
twelve weeks. This vas larger han
any other gain made on other corn
com limitations and shows pretty con-
clusively that alfalfa is hard to beat.
