FEEDING WASTE PEANUTS To HOGS

Many peanut growers never think
OF the peanut as a crop to be sold in
any way except in the form Of pork,
while others are growing the plant en-
tirely as a cash crop for market pur-
poses. That there Is way to do both
is shown by the experience Of g. A.
Holderness OF Tarboro, N. c., as told
In the Progressive Farmer.
Last year Mr.. Holderness bought
ESQ pigs and turned them into the pea
nut fields after he had marketed all
that could possibly be gotten out Of
the ground. The crop of waste pea
nuts afforded grazing for these ESQ
pigs for 72 days and during this time
the pigs made an average gain Of 83
pounds each. The average peanut
grover allows these waste nuts to lie
in the ground and rot, but Mr.. Holder
ness turned them into 20,750 pounds
OF pork instead
Following the peanut pasture the
hogs we're fed on corn and cottonseed
meal-some OF them on corn and tank
age-for 26 days and we're marketed
in Richmond on January IL, 1914
When these hogs were brought to the
farm they weighed 112 pounds each.
When they left It their weights aver
aged 22SA pounds. Their total cost
including meal. tankage, si04 for inoc-
ulation against cholera, freight, stock
yards charges and s1k cents per pound
on the original purchase, was 3d.
862.88. The same hogs sold for $4,.
706.59, or a net gain OF ss43.71, prac-
tically all OF which came from the
peanuts which could not have been
harvested in any other way
