RESULTS OF FORAGE

Considering the present trend of
grain prices, many farmers have been
in doubt as to the a~dvisability of put
ting their corn on the market in the
form Of pork, and to such as are en-
~deavoring to solve the problem, the
experiments conducted at the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station will

ments were in producing pork with
alfalfa forage supplemented with
corn meal.

An acre of vigorous alfalfa will sup

average, pigs weighing 80 TO so pounds
in spring will make a gain of about
100 pounds each during the season,
and while they may be grown and fat

combine the alfalfa with some kind of
grain ration. The general health of
pigs grown in this way is better than
that of those maintained on other
feeds, and they are as prolific. This
spells more alfalfa, more pigs and
greater profits in the future for the
farmer.
