others. Much depends on the kind of
forage used, and the conditions under
which it is fed. One must be able to
tell from his hogs whether he is
feeding a correct ration. Much de-
pends on the feeder as well as the
feed. Lastly, stay by it!
This year l am raising 100 head Of
shoats averaging better than 100
pounds each, and | expect to follow
this plan. A fifteen acre field of
alfalfa will be divided into three lots
of five acres each. In use these
lots will be so rotated that the hogs
will have tender feed all the time.
The price will determine the amount
of grain l shall feed. If grain goes no
higher, | shall feed ground oats, about
pound a day for each hog until
fattening time comes. If grain goes
higher and the price of hogs does
not advance in proportion | shall
feed no grain at all until fattening
time, resting content with the growth
made on pasture alone.
As to marketing, there are three
possibilities. First, to fatten on grain
and put them on a summer market;
this will depend on the price Of grain
and the summer market for pork.
Second, to SOW peas and pasture them
when mature, thus putting hogs on
fall market Third, to sell the
hogs as feeders to the San Luis buy
ers. All depends on the markets
of feed and hogs. Next year ! shall
follow the same plan only prohting
by The experience get this year
What l have attempted to show,
and what / firmly believe is that
hogs can be raised in this country
to good advantage if the grower
prepares for it and uses judgment
Much depends on the grower, There
are other advantages which have
not mentioned, such as the value of
hog pasture as fertilizer. the econo-
my in labor and economy in market
ing crops A hundred head of hogs
should take care of fifty acres of
hay and grain and can do it on the
field. A man can thus farm third
more land with the help of a good
bunch of hogs, provided he has his
place fenced for it and it will pay
him to have it so. Personally / pre-
fer to run hogs than hired men.
This is the hog situation as l see
it. Ne doubt there are those in this
county whose experience would be Of
more value to the public than mine.
Those people would do our country
service if they would give US the
value of what they have learned.
What l have given has been done
with the hope that others would fol-
low suit and that by an interchange
of ideas, we may all be benefited.
