CORN FOR FATTENlNG SWINE
Cheapest Method Of Producing Pound
of Pork Is by the Corn and CIo-
yer Route.

For a long time we have believed
that the cheapest method of produc-
ing a pound of pork is by the corr
and clover method, says a writer in
Drovers' Journal. Last year we kept
A carload of hogs in addition to 10
brood sows with their pigs on 10 acres
Of alsike and then several loads OF
hay were taken from the field. AS
o as the corn was ready we fed
several armfuls of green corn, to-
gether with a few basketfuls of ears.
Then we fenced off eight acres of
corn with 30-inch wire fencing
and turned in the entire lot. The
sows and a few of the spring pigs
were shipped with the rest. The corn
brought $33 an acre, costing us moth
ing for husking, cutting or hauling to
market.
We were so pleased with last years
results that this spring we picked up
enough pigs with our own to make
l75. On April 10, when we turned them
on the Is acres of clover which we
fenced off, they averaged 81 pounds.
Now they have been on the clover
close to three months and are getting
In excellent condition. w have not
bad the time to weigh them, but are
sure they have made excellent gains.
Each day we feed them three sacks
Of corn (about $50 pounds. This
seems to balance up the grass ration
and to keep them in excellent shape.
A hog is not so much of a forage ami.
NAL that he can do we'll on grass
alone. He must have a supplementary
ration and 1t seems that corn Is best.
AS soon as the ears are ready we
shall begin to feed green corn. With
the last cultivation we sowed rape in
a great deal of our corn. BY the time
the corn is ready for cutting this will
make a rank growth. Then we will
turn the whole bunch in on a piece
of new ground on which we have an
especially good outlook for a corr
crop. We expect the rape together
with a heavy crop to make a vast
amount of feed.
At present our main object is to
keep them healthy and growing. We
do not care so much for fat as for
large frames. They can put the fat on
If they have the place for it when We
turn them in the corn. Clean water
is quite necessary. We try to keep
down the wallow-holes. About the
troughs this is quite a task, although
a few loads of ordinary sawdust
placed in the right place will not only
prevent the wallowing but will fill III
the holes.

Doors in the partitions are handy

After the coarse manure is removed
a hose with nozzle attached to the

greatly. Or a good stable broom and
a shrinking a will do.
The washings and the liquid ma

which all the cutters from cow and
horse stables also lead.
