reason to believe 1t the right advice.

That the spring pig may be raised
much cheaper on grass than in the dry
lot was the conclusion reached by
Prof. j. NJ Evvard OF the experiment
station of Iowa State college after an
exhaustive experiments covering three
years. He also found that alfalfa was
superior to the other forages used.
Professor Evvard began the work in
the spring of 1903. Different lots of
pigs were raised under conditions as
near identical as possible with the eX-
ception of the kind of forage used. A
check lot in a dry yard was also
raised. This work with some varia-
tons was kept up through the years
1910 and 1911 The result of PROBES
sor Evvard's work show that the cost
of gain on the pigs grown in the dry
yard averaged $5.87 per hundred,
while it was uniformly less in the lots
grown to forage crops. The cost of
gains Oh the pastured lots ranged from
$2SS on alfalfa in 1911 to $4.09 on
blue brass in 1890
Alfalfa easily produced the cheap
est gain, rape stood second and sweet
