THE COST OF PORK
PRODUCTION
Last of a series of three articles.

htiC arc W luc ulHcTtIteS OI ODIn-
ion among farmers regarding the
cost of producing a pound of pork,
and statements published are very
contradictory. But wherever records
are kept and exact facts are avail
able. the evidence justifies the con-
clusion that with the right kind of
pig, properly fed the production of
pork is profitable, even at the low
prices prevailing during the past sea-
son.
Very few farmers know what it
costs them to produce a pound of
pork. Nine out of every ten could
reduce the cost by adopting better
methods of feeding. I have made a
careful study of methods and condi-
lions on hundreds of farms. Among
the common mistakes, l find:
Running brood sows on pasture
without any grain. They may keep
in good flesh and look thrifty, but
the pigs will be weak and large
percentage will die before they are a
month old. The SOW should have one
pound of grain for each 100 pounds
live weight from the time she is bred
until narrowing. If there is a ten
dency to lay on too much fat, cut
down the pasture, not the grain.
Making slop with mill stuffs or
grain of any kind is unhealthy, waste
full, out of date, relic of unthrift
and ignorance.
The SOW after narrowing should be
fed dry grain each day, one pound
for each 100 pounds live weight. and
one-half pound extra for each pig she
is suckling-this in addition to good
pasture, roots, clover or alfalfa hay.
When the pigs are four weeks old
they should be given a mixed grain
ration, starting with one ounce per
day and increasing until they are get
ting one-half pound per day for each
26 pounds of live weight. II on
good pasture they should receive this
grain ration every day until they 90
to market. Four hundred pounds Of
grain fed in this way will finish q pig
ready for market in $50 to 200 days,
Weighing 400 pounds.
Skinned milk is good In small
quantities, but 1t will not take the
place Of grain in the ration.
It will take twice a. much feed to
make a pound Of meat on pig wal
lowing around in Thurston county
as 1t will on one in clean. dry quar-
ters.
Where the clovers, grasses and
vetch thrive as well AZ they do In
Southwest Washington they are bet
ter than alfalfa for hog pasture.
The cheapest pork can be made
from March narrowed pigs. fed as
directed and finished for market In
September and October.
On an average it will cost cent
per pound more to put the same
weight on q fall pig.
The farmer who breeds his pigs,
feeds and finishes for market with
feed grown on the farm, having the
pigs, as far as practicable, do the
harvesting, will make the most profit.
