ABOUT THE SPRING PASTURE FOR HOGS
HELPFUL HINTS FOR PORK PRODUCERS
George c. Wheeler Of the Extension Division the Agriculture
College. Shows How to Produce the Best Pork
at Minimum Cost-Forage Crops
Necessary to Success,

RF YOU expect to make pork eco
nomically and make 1t as 1t ought
to be made in every other way
you will have to have pasture-forage
crops. Hogs are naturally grazers,
and the hogs which have had succulent
food almost constantly available are
the ones producing pork for the least
money. They are almost invariably
the most thrifty and healthy and have
made their gains on smaller amount
of grain than the hog which has been
confined to dryIot feeding through a
considerable portion of its life.
Farmers with alfalfa and plenty of
hog fences have admirable conditions
for producing pork at minimum cost
Many farmers are still without alfalfa
and therefore must depend on other
crops for hog pasture. Even the farm
ers with alfalfa can often make profit
able use of annual forage crops for
pasture.
Rape--Rape is one of the most salts
factory early pastures for hogs and
should be used far more than it is. AT
the Kansas experiment station rape
has returned value of $12 an acre, in

hogs from one lot to another. II It Is
not pastured too severely 1t will grow
up again after the hogs have been re.
moved for time. The hogs should be
removed while few leaves still re,
main on each plant. II drilled in rows,
it may be cultivated when the hogs
are removed and much better growth
will result than IL it is left alone. AS
high as three good crops may be Sc
cured from the same plants in this
manner.
1t will be ready for the hogs in six
to eight weeks from the time of seed
ing. Large hogs should not be turned
in until the rape is about IL to IA
inches tall; young pigs might be al
lowed on it earlier. If allowed to get
too large and rank before the hogs are
turned In they are apt to refuse to eat
it. There have been some complaints
made that hogs would not eat rape
In all our tests at the Kansas expert
ment station nothing of the kind has
ever been observed; all our hogs eat
ing the rape greedily at the first OPP
portunity. There have also been some
complaints made that peculiar skin

combination with proper grain rations,
1t is very low in crude fiber, whicS
makes it especially adapted to the
digestive system OF the hog. Careful
analyses made at the Ohio station
show that in proportion to the total
dry matter in the plant it contains a
higher per cent of protein than clover,
soybean, hay or even alfalfa. An acre
of rape will pasture 10 to 20 hogs for
two or three months. It is a cool
weather plant, belonging to the cab
bage family, and may be seeded early
in the spring. 1t produces a rank
growth of large succulent leaves, grow
ing 20 to 80 inches in height. 1t does
best or rich, heavily MANFRED soils
and can be used to great advantage in
feed lots which have been used
through the winter season. The ground
should be carefully plowed and well
pulverized. The seed may be drilled
in rows 20 to 30 inches apart at the
rate of two or three pounds of seed
per acre, or sown broadcast at the
rate of four to six pounds of seed per
acre. Grown in rows it may be given
some cultivation, which is an advan-
tage in foul land, and in grazing it
down the hogs will not trample and
destroy as much as where sown broad
cast. In drilling it in, a garden drill
may be used, or an ordinary wheat
drill, using the grass seed attachment.
1t may be sown from early spring on
into early summer but far better re-
suits will come from the early seeding,

seeding so as to be able to move the

disease is produced by the rape plant.
This difficulty has been observed to
occur with other rank forage plants
as well as with rape, 1t probably is
due to the pigs running in the rape, or
other plant, when it is covered with
heavy dew and having the sun come
out afterwards, resulting in a scalding
of the skin, We have had practically
no trouble of this kind at the expert
ment station.
Rape in Mixtures-Rape and oats
are often used together for an early
pasture for hogs, At the Missouri ex-
pertinent station it has given one Of
the most highly productive spring pas
lures ever used. They may be seeded
at the same time or the rape may be
broadcasted after the oats are up and
narrowed lightly to cover At the
Michigan experiment station splendid
results were secured by sowing broad
cast rape and millet, mixed equal
parts, using pint of each per acre.
A mixture Of corn, oats and Canadian
field peas in equal parts was then
drilled in at the usual depth this oper-
alton covering the rape and millet
already sown.
The Dwarf Essex variety Is the only
variety widely grown in this country.
The seeds are small, very much re-

man. It is a good plan to secure
samples and make termination tests
