Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The familiar practice OF hogging off
crops has been developed by experts
In the United States department of
agriculture into scientific system OF
farm management which. 1t Is said,
will minimize, in those sections and
those farms to which 1t is adapted,
the cost OF harvest labor.
Reduced TO its simplest terms this
system, which is described In full ia

Harvest Labor by Hogging Down
crops consists of four or fiye-year
rotation of corn, corn, rye and a mix
turs or csover and timothy one or two
years. A farm managed on this sys-
tenn should consist of four or five
fields OF from 20 to 40 acres each.
and II is desirable that all the fields
should be of approximately the same
size. Farms should be laid out in ac-
cordance with the following plan:
I. Corn First year to be hogged Off.
y. Corn-second year to be cut and rye
9. Rye and Young clover Hogged on
4 Clover and Timothy Hog pastured.
ture =
Above L plan Of farm run on ave-
year rotation.
In field No. the first year corn is
grown and hogged of as soon as it is
ripe. This is generally from Septem-
Der | to September 10. When the corn
is cultivated for the last time, it is
usually desirable to SOW soy beans or
rape, In order that the hogs may have
pasturage while gathering the corn,
and also because such a crop supplies
valuable humus which can be turned
back into the soil. In the following
spring this field is prepared for Sec
ond-year corn and becomes field No. 2
In the illustration.
Field No. 2 is, as we have seen. de-
voted to second year corn, which is
not hogged off but harvested by hand.
Here rye is sown in the fall. Under
favorable conditions this can be done
while the corn Is stifl standing, but IL
necessary II Is not too late after the
corn has been cut and shocked Rye
may be sown much later than wheat,
and this is one of its great advantages
In rotation such as is now being de-
scribed.
Field No 3 is devoted to rye
throughout the entire season. In the
spring II Is pastured by the hogs as
long as II Is palatable, affording excel
lent pasturage, especially for young
hogs and brood sows. When the rye
becomes tough and the hogs cease to
relish 1t, they should be removed and
not returned to the field until two
