not pastured too severely it will grow
up again after the hogs have been re-
moved for a time. The hogs should be
removed while a few leaves still re-
main on each plant If drilled in rows,
it may be cultivated when the hogs
are removed and much better growth
will result than if it is left alone. AS
high as three good crops may be Sc
cured from the same plants in this
manner.
It 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 II 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

YF YOU expect to make pork eco
nomically and make it as it 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 a smaller amount
Of grain than the hog which has been
confined to dry-lot 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

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 a
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 a 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.
