WASHlNGTON-By pasturlng lrrl- |
gated alfalfa pastures with hogs, the
superintendent of the Huntley Mon
tana) reclamation project experiment
farm reports that he got returns in
1915 at the rate of SIS to $50 per acre.
This estimated return, he figures, is
equivalent to $10S4 per ton, on the
farm, for the hay crop which was har-
vested and consumed by the hogs.
In discussing this experiment, in a
report of the work of that farm for
1915, just issued by the u. S. depart
ment of agriculture, he says in part:
"This rotation consisted of corn,
flax, beets, and three years of alfalfa.
The third-year alfalfa and the corn are
harvested by hogs, the object of this
experiment being to ascertain the
value of alfalfa and corn crops when
so harvested
THE alfalfa pasturing experiment
was divided into two periods: April
to July, or the spring period, and July
to September, or the summer period.
The plat used was divided into two
equal portions and the hogs were pas
tured alternately for 10 days at time
on each part. This allows for more
uniform growth and convenience in
irrigating. In addition to the pasture,
the hogs were given a supplementary
ration of two pounds of corn per days
per 100 pounds live weight.
"On April "a, five high-grade DuroC
Jersey hogs weighing 7S9 pounds, were
placed on the alfalfa plat. On May "a
it was found necessary to remove ont
hog, as the supply of feed was made
quate. The remaining four hogs were
taken off July IA, and on the same
date eight pure-bred Duroc Jerse.
shoats were placed on the plat. Thes
shoats, having a total initial weigh
of 302 pounds, remained on the pas
ture until September %.
> During the two periods 619 pound
= of pork were produced. The corn con
= sumed during the season amounted
;, 1,949 pounds. Estimating the value c
= the pork at seven cents per poun
gives a total return from the plat {
$43.33. The value of the corn fed, est
;, mated as worth $1.25 per 100 pound
was $24.36. This leaves a net retur
from the alfalfa crop of 1887 for tn
i plat, which is at the rate of $75.S8 pc
= acre, as compared with a net return
- $76.8S from a similar experiment col
Quoted in 1914
"These results, and also those secu
~, ed in 1913 and 1914, indicate that IL
N possibilities of pasturing alfalfa vii
hogs should receive careful conside
r alton by the farmers on the Huntlt
10 project.
-Four of the pigs used in the alfalt
o. pasturing experiment were transferrt
to the corn plat on October 1, 1915. /
&C this time the corn was practically a
matured. Twenty-Five days were r
!, quired for the hogs to harvest Il
4, corn. During this time the hogs gai
ed 216 pounds, or an average dai
10 gain of ZIG pounds per hog. II
ar yield of the quarter-acre plat was est
mated to be 1910 bushels, or So.
n bushels per acre. Valuing pork
A. seven cents per pound, the hogs r
turned $15.12 per one-quarter acre,
q $1.15 per bushel for the corn consuI
ed. In other words, the hogs consur
ed ga pounds of corn for each poul
of gain. In the similar experime
conducted in 1914 hogs consumed 3.
ISL pounds of corn for each pound
gain"
