In the mild climate OF California and

bloom all the year around. In Cali

all Pacific coast flowers; but they
seem to lack brilliancy, and to- many
persons are not as satisfactory. 81

Thrifty Hogs Fed on Forage Crops.
The rape should be sowed in three
plats and at intervals of about three
weeks. 5 55.=@
The rape stalks should not be too
closely pastured after the leaves are
eaten off. When this plan is followed,
the rape should be from IA to IS
inches high when the pigs are turned
into 1t. For less intensive feeding,
where fewer animals are to be kept
on the same piece of ground for a
longer period, rape is sown broadcast
with oats: and clover. Five pounds Of
rape, six pounds of clover. and one
bushel of oats are sown to the acre.
The swine should not be turned Into
this until the crop is from eight to
ten inches high, after which each acre
with good stand Of the crop will sup
ply Is spring pigs with forage for the
rest of the season. ~ s.|s5 ~
Clover, before it becomes matured,
Is most valuable forage crop for
swine. For the corn belt, clover and
corn make one of the best combina-
lions known for cheap pork produc-
ton. Because Of the tendency of clover
to kill out, it is most satisfactorily
grown in a rotation with other farm
crops rather than in small plats to be
intensively stocked. But whether or
not clover is a satisfactory forage for
swine depends largely on the season
as affecting growth, the stand, and
the state of growth at which this Is
fed. Under favorable conditions, red
clover has been found even more
profitable than rape asa forage for
spring pigs. The value of alfalfa for
growing swine has been fully demon
strated in the western. states, where
1t Is grown abundantly, but in some
OF the north central states it has not
been grown to any great extent and,
as yet, In those states, the value OF
this forage crop cannot be fully es.
timated. s,s.,., &s.2a ''5:ss.
The use of clover, alfalfa, rape or
a red.clover-and-oat mixture properly
grown for forage should make saw
grain ration for growing and fattening
swine To get the best results, the
crop must be carefully seeded. fed at
the right stage Of growth, and never:
overstocked at the beginning of the
feeding period or trampled when the
ground is wet. An acre sown to these
crops. properly grown and cared for,
should furnish forage for about four
months for Is to 20 spring shoats.
Then, to finish the animals for mar
ket, heavy grain feeding is begun.
