l. How many acres Of this farm
should be devoted to grazing crops
for these hogs?
At some time during the year l
would use all Of the sixty acres for
grazing, as / am a great believer in
making the hog do his own harvest
ing. First. would want ten acres
in a permanent Bermuda pasture.
Would also use this for my horses
when not al hard work and at least
two good milch cows. Ten acres IN
oats seeded in the Fall. Two acres
in sorghum planted as early as the
climate will admit. This want close
to my pasture so 1t can be cut and
fed to my hogs. Would fer;ilize If
necessary in order to make two or
three crops, as there is nothing bet
ter for growing pigs. Three acres in
sweet potatoes. Ten acres in Span
ish peanuts.
.. Into how many fields should the
grazing acreage be divided?
Twenty acres in BeEmuda, or as
much of the land not under the plow
as could get in Bermuda. Ten acres
in oats. Two acres in sorghum.
Three acres in potatoes Ten acres
Of upland or sandy soil for peanuts.
Fifteen acres for corn and peas, the
best land on the farm. am assum-
ng that the sixty acres under fence
is a hogproof fence. If so, | would
like It divided as above. TWO fifteen
acre and one ten.acre tract for cul.i-
walton and twenty acres in permanent
pasture with as much Bermuda as |
could get
8. What crop or crops should be
planted in these different fields?
These questions have been answer.
ed on sheet No. ., and would use
these fields as follows: First, l
would keep my brood sows on the
oats until narrowing time or about
two weeks before that time, which
should be about March 1, Then they
should be put in separate pens with
proper sheds until the pigs are three
weeks old; then | would turn sows
and pigs on Bermuda pasture, giving
them daily ration of cornmeal with
10 per cent cottonseed meal added
to the corn meal, the cottonseed meal
being the only thing would have 70
buy, and there is such a small
amount Of it used that the cost is
very small. I would give the pigs a
good start on this ration and keep
them in good growing condition until
my sorghum was ready for feeding.
Would feed them the sorghum until
my sweet potatoes were ready to feed.
Then | would turn in the field as my
oat crop has been harvested. When
this field has been eaten out I would
turn them on my peanuts and just
watch them make hogs.
4. To what extent would you de-
pend on corn as feed for breeding
stock, or for young pigs and shoats?
About all the corn I would use
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1914-11-30

would be IN the cornmeal ration fed
70 the sows and pigs during sucking
time, and to the pigs after weaving
time until the sorghum Is ready to
feed. The making Of hog largely
depends upon the start II gets during
the first three months. In addition
TO the cornmeal | would give my
brood sows two ears OF corn apiece
while they are on the oat pasture and
after they have been bred this with
the oats will keep the sows strong and
In good shape and their pigs will be
large and healthy
8. To what extent DO you depend
upon corn for finishing for market?
1t Is well to feed corn about two
weeks before shipping, as It will make
the flesh hard and there will be less
shrinkage In shipping. However
have shipped some as good hogs right
on the peanuts as anybody would
want, and there Is nothing that grows
that will iatten hogs as fast as pea.
nuts in my Judgment.
6. DO you depend to any consider.
able extent on Bermuda as a pasture
crop? II so. how many hogs do you
run per acre Of grass?
There is hardly any telling how
many hogs you can run per acre II
the Bermuda is on good land. have
had as high as twenty-five hogs per
acre as long as two months at time,
and the grazing was good. However.
this was very rich damp land. The
amount Of grazing per acre on Ber-
muda depends largely on the soil, as
there Is no crop that will indicate the
fertility OF the soil better than Der.
muda.
Z. On Upland sandy soil. do you
consider peanuts more profitable for
hogs than corn?
do not believe that any crop can
be grown on upland sandy soil that
will anything like equal Spanish pea
nuts. They will make more flesh on
a hog and make II quicker than any.
thing and they do their own harvest.
ing. Besides there is no better hay
grown than peanut hay. Cultivate as
fat as possible and cut the hay with
. mower Just before you are ready to
turn the hogs in, and YOU will have a
crop OF hay that Is worth more than
the crop OF peanuts has cost to make.
s. To what extent do you use
sorghum in hog raising
This question has been answered
on pages one. two and three. have
figured this out for one litter of pigs
to come about March and be ready
for market about November /. Now
II will take eight sows 20 be sure OF
fifty hogs. and would breed these
sows again about June /. which would
bring their pigs about the last OF
August or first OF September Would
feed these pigs the same as other
filters on cornmeal and cottonseed
meal. never using over 10 per cent
cottonseed meal, and as soon as my
corn was gathered would give them
the cowpea pasture. and by the time
this was eaten out oats should be
ready for pasture. Out OF this Hitter
| would make my own meat, selling
what I didn't need about March /,
and that would get them out of the
way of my spring litter, and would
make 100 hogs raised on an eighty
acre farm at an average Of about
$3.50 each, and everything raised on
the farm except about $40 worth Of
cottonseed meal

GOOD SUM ADDED TO
CITY SCHOOL FUND

Trough the efforts Of Superintendent
Nj. T.. Osborne ten names have been
added to the list of children of school
age in the city. These names had
been missed in the school census of
last spring and there was some doubt
about the State superintendent of
Public Instruction allowing the names
to be added at this late date. How
ever the state authorities were pre-
vailed upon to do this and as each
name brings the local school fund
about 81 in primary school money the
city will receive $40 by the addition
of these names which otherwise would
have been lost
In this connection il might be we'll
to add that when school census is
being taken all parents should see
that all children between the ages Of
five and twenty years are included in
the census
