FEEDING HAY TO HOGS.
Alfalfa Gives Best Results, but All
Lequmes Are Valuable.

|
Legumes Are Valuable.
At the Kansas experiment station the
writer divided a number of hogs into
two equal lots and fattened one lot on
all the grain they would eat and the
other lot on all the grain and dry alfal-
ia hay they would eat.
For every 100 pounds gained by the
hogs fattened on grain alone the hogs
fed alfalfa hay and grain gained 173
pounds. The hogs showed a gain of
S6S pounds of pork per ton of alfalfa
hay fed The same weight of grain
that was worth 81 fed alone brought
$40 when fed with the alfalfa.
At the Nebraska experiment station
hogs fattened on grain alone made corn
worth II cents a bushel and when al
falfa hay was fed with the grain the
corn brought 81 per bushel
In careful experiment made ~
Professor II. J. KinZer at the Kansas
experiment station with fattening hogs
fed corn and alfalfa hay 100 pounds Of
alfalfa hay saved ninety-six pounds of
corn. and he estimated that 1920
pounds of pork were produced from the
alfalfa hay from each acre.
Growing pigs should have constant
access to alfalfa hay whenever pas
ture cannot be furnished. 1t saves
grain. lessons the cost of feeding. fur
nishes exactly the materials needed
for developing bone. muscle and the
vital organs, makes more of the grain
digestible, stimulates the appetite and
keeps the bowels active.
Alfalfa is much the best hay for
hogs. although the hay from any leg
ume makes profitable hog feed-hay
from Canadian field peas. the clovers
cowpeas and peanuts. Hay from tim
othy red top and similar grasses has
little value as hog feed. The leaves of
early cut corn fodder cured green and
sorghum cut when the seeds are in
milk make good hay for hogs, although
not nearly equal in feeding value to
the hays previously recommended
The leaf of the hay is the valuable
part for the hog feed; the stems are
too woody and are detrimental in any
plant which is used to make hay for
/ hogs. The plant should be cut when
it has the most leaves and is in the
best feeding condition and the hay
cured in a way to preserve the leaves
as green and fresh as possible.
Fattening hogs need only a moderate
quantity of hay, enough so that they
will consume seven to eight pounds Of
leaves with each bushel of grain.
Breeding hogs and growing pigs should
have every day when not on pasture
all the hay they will eat, consuming
the leaves only.
Hog raisers are often advised to cut
or grind the hay or to cut and soak it.
The hay should be fed whole and dry.
The stems are too woody to be digesti-
bic and are detrimental to the other
feeds. Is a careful test conducted by
the writer there was loss of over
per cent from grinding alfalfa hay for
hogs.-H. NJ. Cottrell, Formerly Of
Kansas Agricultural College.
