alfalfa hay fed with each bushel of
corn given fattening hogs will in
crease the daily gains one-third to
one-half and the alfalfa hay will put
a finish on the hogs that will add to
their selling value. The best results
are secured by feeding one ton Of
leafy alfalfa hay with each $50 bushels
of corn. A ton of hay fed in this way
will produce $50 to 700 pounds in
crease in gain on hogs over the same
amount of corn fed alone. The hay
helps the hogs digest a greater pro-
portion of the corn which they eat.
Alfalfa, either green or as hay, fur

and mineral matter necessary for the
best development of the unborn pigs.

gestion good and the body, skin and

GUS pigs at weaving time and less
pigs die during the sucking period.
Alfalfa pasture in Iowa reduces by
one-half the cost of feeding pigs
from weaving time to the time of fat
tening. Growing shoats on alfalfa
pasture need two pounds of corn a
day for each 100 pounds live weight.
Besides the gains that the corn alone
will make, each acre of alfalfa pas
ture will, during the summer, add 500
to 1000 pounds to the weight of the
pigs. The alfalfa pasture develops,
in the growing pigs, size, frame, flesh,
vigor and a large capacity for feed.
The alfalfa pig, when fattened, has
a keen appetite, can digest and as
simulate a large quantity of grain,
making large gains quickly and has
the frame to carry the gains. Prof.
X. J. KinZer, formerly of the Iowa
Agricultural College, found that in
feeding alfalfa hay in limited quanti-
ties with corn to fattening pigs, that
TOO pounds of hay saved So pounds
|of corn.
Iowa has normally from eight to
nine million hogs. To raise them
most cheaply, will require one and a
half million acres Of alfalfa pasture.
The latest report of the State Board
of Agriculture shows a total of 30.-
1873 acres of alfalfa for the state,
nearly sufficient TO pasture the hogs

THE 100 susHeL PER ACRE.

1 A recent bulletin of the Illinois
Farmers Institute contains an inter-
esting article on "The 100 Bushel per
Acre Crop" which is as appreciable
in Iowa as in the state for which 1t
was intended. 1t says:
strenuous efforts are put forth
throughout the country to encourage
the production of large yields per
acre of corn and other farm crops.
Commercial associations, manufacture
ing corporations as well as county,
state and national governments are
willing to appropriate large sums OF
money for use in urging farmers to
coax the land to give up more of its
fertility in the form of grain and live
stock. Men are sent out to preach
100 Bushel Per Acre Crops and their
principal argument is Better Seed
Selection" Better Preparation OF
Seed Bed" Better Cultivation" etc,
but many of these eyangelists do not
understand and present the funda-
mental facts of 100 per acre crop.
Thorough preparation OF seed bed,
Intelligent selection OF seed and good
cultivation are vitality essential and
