Market Notes

A most promising field for the devel-
opment OF a strain of pigs with
greater feeding capacity has been open
ed up at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege as result Of the latest feeding
tests made by Professor G. r. S. Sam
son. 1t was shown in this test that the
pigs that made the greatest profit were
those which had the greatest capacity
for consuming feed. In feeding loo
pigs similar to the best feeders for 81
days at present prices Of hogs and
feed, the owner would realize profit
Of 1927. so, not counting labor and In
vestment In feeding 100 pigs similar
to the poorer eaters the profits would
be but $115.65.
On September 1, thirty pigs Of diff
ferent litters were divided into three
lots Of ten each, and all were fed ra-
ton Of 80 per cent barley and 10 pei
cent tankage for 81 days. Lot ! was
fed dry rations by hand. Lot was fed
by a self-feeder. Lot 3 was fed by
hand, rations that had been soaked fol-
IL hours previous to feeding. The
three lots were divided evenly as tc
weight sex and parentage. The filters
were likewise divided evenly among
the lots as nearly as possible.
Lot ! consumed 463.5 Of feed for
each 100 lbs Of gain. Lot consumed
41S.Z OF 1eeQ TOT oaCll luU lDS OIL gain,
and lot 3 consumed 1898 Of feed for
each 100 lbs. Of gain.
The difference in daily gain among
the filters Of pigs was from Lac to
1885 lbs. The difference between the
lots varied from LAB to 1874 lbs. The
poorest lot was better than the poorest
litter and the best lot was poorer than
the best litter. That is, the variation
among the lots was less than the vari-
alton among the litters.
The best individual pig gained 2.44
lbs daily for 81 days, while the poor
est individual pig gained but lib. daily
for the same time. The daily gain made
by the Individual litters was as fol-
lows: 1.42, 1.43, LAT, 1877, 1856, and
1876.
AS to the value Of self feeder, these
tests confirm previous tests carried out
at this station and at others, that the
self feeders are economical means of
pork production. The labor Of feeding
is cut down more than one-half by the
use Of the self-feeders, while the daily
gains are more rapid and also greater
per 100 lbs. Of feed. No difficulty was
experienced in getting the pigs accus-
toned to this method Of feeding, but
care was exercised.

Few beef cattle are coming from Cana

sold Thursday at $735m7.65, but they
