The gains made by winter pigs, gen. erally cost more than those made dur ing the summer months when succu- 1 lent food is plentiful, according to sta 1 tistics secured through experiments at the agricultural college farm, and to make the most economical gains OH winter pigs, the conditions of pas. ture food, shelter and methods of care, in winter should resemble as much as possible, those of summer months. 'sWe cannot supply the fresh, green, succulent pasture of summer to pigs in the winter months, but by sowing rape. rye and winter wheat in the early fall, they will furnish excel lent pasture up to the time of real late frosts," said H. A. Sandhouse, as- sistant in animal husbandry of the Arkansas College of Agriculture.
 Rape sown during September with favorable conditions, ought to make good pasture in from six to eight weeks. The rye and winter wheat not only give real late winter pasture, but
 
 spring before the early pastures have started. Alfalfa and cowpea hay can be fed during midsummer A ration of three-fourths corn and one-fourth alfalfa or cowpea hay produces greater gains
 "It takes an increased amount of grain to supply the heat-making mate- rial during real cold weather. The feed bill can be reduced materially by fur nishing the pigs with warm, dry house with plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Avoid making openings in the house where they will cause a draft and where pigs have to pile up together to keep warm Keep plenty of clean, dry bedding in the houses and change it about twice a month. Plenty of exercise can be furnisred by feeding at one end of the lot and having the shelter house situated at the other end"
