HOG BULLETIN ISSUED
BY UNIVERSITY
Idaho Is Especially Adapted to the
Raising Of Pork for the Market.


has entered hog heaven" is the ad-
vice which W. L. Carlisle. dean of
the agricultural department of the
University of Idaho. has to offer to
the Idaho farmer who is trying to
make some money out of hogs. The
dean argues that, as the hogs inter
nal machinery was made from the
same pattern as was mans, the bas-
ic foods of one would make the
other do the best work and get the
greatest results.
The dean has written quite a long
bulletin on Hog Production in the
Intermountain Country" in which
he belives that one of the greatest
things in all of the west for the
farmer is hog raising. He discusses
all of the advantages which the
western states have for this branch
of animal industry and points out
the weaknesses and faults of other
climates, other soils and other con-
ditions for this line of money get,
ting.
Though the expert advises the
farmer to put himself In the hogs
place, he does not necessarily mean
for the farmer to be a hog in any
thing that he tries to do. He shows
him that when he thinks that he is
feeding his animals for nothing by
simply turning them into an alfalfa
field that he is really losing his
best chance to make gains in weight
at period in the hogs life when
those gains are most easily and
cheaply made. He points out that
though alfalfa is an excellent forage
crop, it is not a good one for a
-eady diet, that the hog can no
more thrive on a coarse, fibereus
food for any length of time than
can man.
According to figures that the dean
has made during the course OF his
study of the tastes, desires, ambi-
tions and general aspirations of the
hog family, he has found that 1t
takes IS per cent of the total amount
of food given to a 50-pound pig to
maintain or to support that pig, the
rest going into the animals flesh
to make him increase in size and
weight. At the same time, it takes
5 per cent in a 100-pound pig, u per
J., nf1 and az
ent in a 200-pound pig to get the
anne resulst.
He also has discovered that 1t
axes 224.4 pounds of dry matter in
the feed to make 50-pound pig gain
100 pounds, 1922 pounds in a 80
pound pig, 1858 pounds in a 200
pound animal to produce the same
gain. From these facts that the dean
has gathered, he shows the farmer
that the earlier in life that he can
get his hogs TO eating grain, the
greater and better will be the gains
that he will make. He points out
hat alfalfa will just about support
pig without giving it chance to
make any gain in weight or size.
1he more grain that the farmer can
let down the throats of his animals
in addition to the alfalfa feeds, the
better results he will get from ~
hogs on the market, the experN
