CHEAPEST GAINS ON PASTURE

Cut In Two by Turning Them on
Alfalfa or Glover.

Pigs make the cheapest gains on
pasture. Trials at the North Dakota
experiment station indicate that brood
sows running on good pasture and
nursing litters will do as well when
receiving one to one and half pounds
of grain per 100 pounds live weight OF
SOW as sows in dry lot receiving two
and q half pounds grain per day per
each 100 pounds live weight. The pas.
ture Just about cuts the feed cost in
two. The pasture alone does not fur.
nish enough feed for either the brood
SOW with litter or for the weaned pigs.
They should be fed some grain, 30 as
to make a rapid growth. In this way
the spring pig can be ready for market
before real cold weather sets in.
Alfalfa, clover. bromus and winter
rye make the earliest pastures. When
these have not been provided. early
spring seeding of such grains as oats
and barley or rape are the next best
thing.

DISPOSAL OF DEAD ANIMALS

Dead animals on the farm should be
buried deep enough to prevent them
from being dug up again, or they

casses like those of dead horses and
cattle is difficult and laborious and re-
quires large quantity of fuel. In
most instances It is more economical
to bury them.
All animals which have died of in

should be covered with q heavy layer
OF lime before the graves are closed.

It has been carefully estimated that
the value Of the farm manure which
is allowed to go to waste is $700.000,-
900 annually. The wheat crop for
1912 has been estimated at 100000 900
bushels. 1t is seen from these figures
that the value of the manure going
