BIG RETURNS FROM CLOVER PAS.
TuRE FOR HOGS.
Interesting Test Made by the Iowa
Experiment station-ResuIt Can
Be Obtained on Any
Iowa Farm.

Seven hundred and forty-eight
pounds of pork from an acre of clover
pasture looks big. We do not need to
value the pork at $40 per hundred
weight to realize profit This figure
is not the wild fancy of an magma
tive mind. 1t is a statement of a
cold fact which can be realized on
any Iowa farm.
The Iowa experiment station re-
Gently carried on some. He was
comparing work with different kinds
of forage crops for hogs. On June
the pigs were sorted and weighed.
They were divided as evenly as pos
sible considering type, sex, size, and
even color. They weighed the same
in each pen when we were through.
The average weight was 80 pounds
One group of ten pigs was placed in
a dry yard. These pigs had good
shed where the flies would not be
bad. They had an abundance of fresh,
clean water and were fed corn and
meat meal. They were handled in
the way that thousands of our hogs
are raised
The second group Of ten pigs SIM
liar in every respect was placed on a
first-class bluegrass pasture The
third pen across the fence from the
second were turned on a good clover
pasture. This clover was seeded the
fall before and had made a good
growth during the spring.
These three pens represented three
farm practices. Farmers are largely
disagreed as to whether pasture pays
and again whether clover is better
than bluegrass or timothy Here all
three were placed on their merits.
Where farmer has clover one year
and bluegrass the next he Is not sure
which is the best. One year he may

We started to sell milk on the 18th
of April. The cows were kept clean
and were given an abundance of feed.
They responded to the good care with
a large flow of milk. Milking hours
were six in the morning and seven in
care to be regular in milking and feed
ing. The COWS were fed in addition to
grass during the pasture period and
hay during winter, a mixture Of
ground corn and cob meal, bran, and
oil meal Salt was always placed near
the watering trough and the cows
were in every way encouraged to
drink as much water as possible.
At the end of the year 1850 pounds
of milk had been weighed on the milk
scales. According to the tables the
COWS averaged 40 pounds of milk each
per day for the first 80 days; %
pounds each per day for the following
80 days; 20 pounds each per day for
the next go days; 10 pounds each per
day for the next 30 days or the ninth
month; 10 pounds each per day for
the tenth month; six pounds each per
day for the eleventh month, the last
month that they gave milk We al
ways dried the cows up six weeks be-
fore the next calving. Of the 1850
pounds of milk produced 1920 were
| sold at the rate Of % cents per gal
Ion, giving total receipt of s476.86.
The expenses were s147S4 for the
two COWS during the IL months. Each
COW consumed per month 80 pounds
of ground corn and cob meal costing
$1.25, so pounds of bran costing 721a
cents, so pounds of oil meal costing
$1.10, and about 81 cents worth of
salt. The cost of the grain for each
COW per month was 1915 making a
total of 1912 for the year. The pas
ture for each cow was two dollars a
month or $11 for the five and one-half
months of pasture period. The clover
and timothy hay amounted to about
two and one-half tons for each COW
through the year, costing $40 per ton
or $25.
Deducting the s147.S4 expenses from
$476.86 gross receipts, profit of
$4,000 was realized from the two
cows or $16451 for each cow

We have for several years past run
very successful dairy business on
only three-fourths of an acre of ground
The location is inside of the city linn
its within easy reach of all those to
whom milk is delivered. We have
found it decidedly advantageous to
pay higher prices and obtain the best
COWS to work with In our experience,
good COW has always been more re-
sponsive to careful treatment and
abundant feed than poorer COW.
For several years our COWS have av-
eraged net profit to us of $16451
apiece. We think this high profit is
largely due to three things. First, we
keep COWS of good dairy type only;
second. we give them plenty of feed
as nearly as possible in a balanced ra-
ton. and lastly, we strictly obey the
rules of regularity in milking and car
ing for them.
The equipment we use is simple
and cheap. A small barn 10 by IL feet,
and having hay NOW of two tons ca
pacity, provides sufficient shelter for
three COWS. Since the grain feed is
bought each month as needed few
tin lined boxes furnish the only neces-
sary grain bins. During the summer
period when hay is at its lowest figure
two tons Of hay are slowed away in
the loft and three tons are stacked
close to the barn. In order to pre-
serve the stack, foundation of logs
covered with brush is used and the
stack is topped with a canvas cover TO
protect 1t from the wind and to give
more water proof covering than the
loose hay alone. A woven wire fence
incloses the greater part of the three
fourths of an acre which is divided
into three lots. A well, supplying an
abundance of water, completes the list
of equipment that we use in the gen
eral care of the COWS.
We secured two pure bred Jersey
COWS of rather promising conforma-
ton and dairy type. They were young,
having had but one calf each. The
first year no account was kept, but
owing to the amount of milk produced
we decided to keep careful account the
| following year. The COWS were served
by a registered Jersey sire and the
dates recorded. In the middle Of
March one of the cows freshened anG
! during the fore part Of April the sec
ond COW dropped heifer calf. Tht
| first cows calf was bull. The calve:

have better bred hogs, more rain. less
hot weather and what not. During
the summer all three pens were fed
all the corn they would eat. Aside
from this they were all treated alike.
All the feed was 7eighed up and
careful record of it kept.
In the fall the pigs that had spent
the summer on the dry lot were lust
pigs They had made good gains and
were fat and sleek. The clover was
largely gone but by fall the pigs that
fed upon 1t were large, strong boned,
heavy framed hogs. They carried a
large amount of fat and weighed on an
average 214.8 pounds. The pigs on
the bluegrass side looked pinched
They did not have the bone nor frame.
They only weighed 157 pounds each.
Truly good demonstration in favor
OF clover pasture for the Iowa farmer.
In figuring up the results the
amount of feed given the pigs on the
dry lot was divided by the pounds
gain. This gave the amount of feed
required to produce one pound of
pork. On this basis it was calculated
how much pork the corn fed on pas.
ture would produce. This was sub.
tracted from the total gain and the
difference credited to the pastures.
On this basis one /; re of bluegrass
| produced 367 poun ~ of pork and one
acre of clover pasture 74S pounds.
Figuring this pork at the conserva-
tive price of seve: dollars per hun
dredweight the bluegrass pasture was
worth $25.69 per ccre and the clover
pasture $52.36. This difference of
| $26.87 per acre shows in an unmis-
takeable way the value of clover for
| hog pasture.
