that might be used to advantage and
with profit in feeding hogs. The dairy
districts offer a further advantage to
the hog raiser by furnishing such by,
products as skim milk and buttermiIk
which are especially relished and
proftably utilized by growing pigs.
While there are many advantages In
favor Of profitable pork production In
the East, on many of the farms these
advantages are overlooked and hogs
are confined within q pen about by
10 feet during the entire year.
Pasture and Forage Crops.
No farmer is prepared to raise hogs
probably unless he is we'll provided
with pasture. The pasture should be
so managed that it affords tender and
palatable forage. Grasses are sue
culent and rich in muscle and bone
forming materials, but the most impor-
tant consideration in favor of pasture
for swine in summer is its small cost.
The earlier in the year green feed can
be supplied the better. Swine of any
age relish green feed, and it's use al
ways reduces the cost of producing
gains In weight In addition, it keeps
the animals in good thrifty condition.
Forage Crops for the East.
For fall and early spring pasture the
cereals are unexcelled in this section
of the country. Because young wheat,
oats, rye and barley are such good
grazing crops and are green when frost
has killed clover, they are ideal crops
to grow for pigs during the late fall
and early spring. Any of these cereals
| do well planted singly or in combina-
ton with Canada peas and vetch,
| These crops can be planted in early
| spring in those sections where the win.
| tiers are not too severe. The pigs
| should be turned in to pasture the
| cereal crops when the plants attain @
height of about to inches and
taken off when the plants reach such
height that The pigs begin to spit the
chewed material from their mouths
This is because the percentage of crude
fiber (the indigestible part of the
plant) increases rapidly as the plants
| grow larger.
Grains for Hogs on Pasture.
Mature, dry brood sows are some
times main mined in apparently salts
factory condition on good pasture
alone. Young, growing pigs, on the
other hand, running on forage crops
without grain, scarcely maintain theil
weight. There is no time that graiI
can be so profitably fed to a hog a:
when he is young and running on pas
ture. Under such conditions it is pos
sble to secure 10 pounds of gain fol
each bushel OF grain fed. During the
spring and summer and early fal
months from oile-half to three-fourth'

While the South and West are awak-
Ing rapidly to the merits of the hog,
and these sections are increasing their
output of pork and enlarging their
bank accounts, few farmers in New
England or the middle Atlantic states
are raising hogs on large scale.
Many of the farmers in these sections
hold that hog raising is not profitable,
and on many farms the hogs that are
raised are regarded as side-line rath-
er than as offering an important source
of income. In these eastern states 1t is
estimated on January l, 1916, there
were only 2,6S7 900 hogs, or about 4
per cent of the total of 6S,000,000 re-
ported for the entire country.
The principal reason why hogs are
not raised more largely by eastern
farmers, the animal husbandry experts
of the department say, is that many
farmers in this section have not yet
realized the value of cheaply grown
forage and pasture in swine produc-
ton. The general conditions in the
East offer opportunities for profitable
pork production, but not where hogs
are kept in pens 6 by 10 feet anG fed
on grain alone, with no green feed ex-
| cept occasional waste vegetables from
the table.
There seems also to be an impress
sion throughout the East that only
| those farmers who have rich, level
land should raise hogs. AS a matter
of fact, the specialists say, hogs are
most easily handled on farms that are
somewhat rolling. For the production
of grasses the upland farm is often
about as good as the level one. There
Is generally better water supply, and
hilly farm is likely to have more
shade This does not mean that the
hill farmer has the better situation
| but in a great many instances he has
certain advantages which he does moi
appreciate.
Advantages Offered by East.
The eastern farmer is in the midst
of top-nOtch markets for hogs. The
prices paid for hogs on the New York
Jersey City, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh markets are on an average high
er than the prices paid for hogs OF
any of the western markets. The
East is peculiarly adapted to hog rails
ing, in view of the fact that market,
for fresh pork and cured meats may b.
found in local communities as we'll al
in the larger cities and the variou!
coast resorts.
Corn is being grown successfully ii
the East, and in some sections the av
erage yield per acre is greater thar
that of the middle West. Clover, blu,
grass, in fact, many forage crops es
pecially adapted for swine feeding
grow readily in nearly every section o
the East. Rye, oats, barley and whea
also are grown, and these young, grow
ing cereals make excellent early sprinl
pasture for pigs. In the trucking sec
tons there is wasted annually a vas
