Rotation Of Crops For Hogs

After many experiments we have
come to the conclusion that the
following succession of crops will
give the cheapest pork in the great
er portion of Louisiana: Oats and
clover to be sown in separate fields
in October, the oats grazed until
earlv February, when the hogs
should be transferred to the clovers
allowing the oats to make crop
of grain in May. Pasture the
clovers until the middle of April
or the first of May. and transfer
the hogs to Bermuda pasture, and
allow the clover to make a crop Of
hay. Two fields sown to mixed
oats and clover may sometimes be
preferable to the single crops. using
one field for early pasture and
grain, and the other for late pas
ture and hay. Keep hogs in Ber-
muda grrss until cow peas are
ready to be grazed, in July for
early peas or August for later
paintings; pasture cow peas until
peanuts are ready, this crop hav-
ing been planted after the oats are
harvested. Continue on peanuts
until sweet potatoes are ready for
grazing, and continue on sweet
potatoes until the hogs are ready
for the market. When the hogs
are on COW peas. feed them a mo-
derate amount of corn. When
they are on peanuts feed half as
much corn as when on COW peas.
When on sweet potatoes feed al
much rice polish or rice bran as
they were fed corn on COW peas.
The feeding period actually begins
with the cow pea pasture, as the
main purpose up to this time is tc
keep the animals growing nicely
at as low cost as possible.
There will be times when a little
grain ration may be necessary
One must exercise judgment ir
matters of this kind.---W. R. bod
son, Director, Experiment Station.
