decreases the profit per pig during tho
fattening period.
The substitution of Is parts emmer
barley, wheat, or milo, for corn. in
ration containing 80 parts corn and 10
parts chopped alfalfa, increases the
cost of gains and decreases the profit
per hog during the fattening period
excepting emmer, which in this test
only increased the profit per hog The
wheat increased the gains but de-
creased the profit. The emmer also
increased the gain. Barley and milo
decreased the gain as we'll as the
profit. Milo was worth the same price
per bushel as barley in this test.
The results of one test indicated
that a bushel of corn was worth as
much as bushel and half of cane
seed when fed with alfalfa for fatten.
ing hogs.
Where fall pigs were wintered and
turned on alfalfa pasture in the spring
there was more profit per pig from
those grown out largely on pasture
and then fattened than from those fed
out more quickly.
Four seasons records show that old
sows being fattened on corn and al.
falfa pasture gained 2 pounds per head
daily, ate 355 pounds of corn for 100
pounds of gain, and gave a net profit
of over cents daily.

in Bulletin 121 together with data from
this Bulletin 1923 indicates that the
cost of feed to produce 225-pound
market hog was $685. per 100 pounds
and that keeping the hog until 1t
weighed 325 pounds increased the cost
to 1857 per 100 pounds. This includes
only the cost of feed and does not IN
clude the cost of labor, equipment, un'
usual risk, or interest on investment.

results were the average prices for
:orn and for hogs at the North Platte
Substation during the six years pre-
:eding 1911. The price of corn was
II cts. per bushel. The price Of hogs
when put into the experiment and
when taken out was $3.50 per 100 lbs.
The price Of alfalfa hay was $500 per
Ton, of chopped alfalfa $1,000 per ton,
Ind of alfalfa-meal $500 per ton. The
only item of cost taken into account
Is the feed. The labor and investment.
being about equal for all lots, is not
considered.
The corn was ground for all the
hogs. The chopped alfalfa and the
llfalfa-meal were mixed with the
ground corn. All feed was moistened
IN the trough. The hogs were fed from
the nrst of November until the first of
February, or three months.
The rations are arranged above ac-
cording to the profit on the pigs fat
tened on each ration. The most profit
able ration, corn with alfalfa hay fed
IN rack, is at the top Of the list. The
Hrst three rations stand closely to-
gether. Corn seems to have station
iry place between a ration of 10 parts
alfalfa and 80 parts corn and a ration
Of rs parts alfalfa and Is parts corn.
With corn worth 60 cents per bushel
ration of one-fourth alfalfa and
three-fourths corn gives nearly the
same profit per pig fattened as q
ration of corn alone.
Where alfalfa was fed In the rack
Or where chopped alfalfa or alfalfa
meal were fed in the proportion Of
one pound Of alfalfa to nine pounds Of
corn, a pound Of alfalfa was worth
more than pound OF corn.
Part II gives the results Of substi-
tuting other grains and mill products

corn and alfalfa for growing and fat
tening hogs. The experiments were
conducted during the summer and
winter. The number Of pigs in each

average prices paid for the various
kinds Of feeds during the progress Of
the experiments. The results Of these
tests given very briefly are as fol
lows:
OF the many rations tried for fat
tening hogs. none has been found the
equal of corn and small percentage
of alfalfa.
