Profitable Forage Crops.

Forage crops will largely. though not
entirely, replace the use of grain In

of gains in weight produced with

gain in dry lots. On forage the gains
are also more rapid. thus yielding n

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 its 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 we'll 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
ters are not too severe. The pigs
should be turned In to pasture the
cereal crops when the plants attain a
height of about to 8 inches and
taken of when the plants reach such
n 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
planO increases rapidly us the plants
grow larger.
Field peas SOwn either alone, or
with oats or oats and rape, are most
satisfactory summer forage crop for
pigs. The seeding should be done In
April or May, and If conditions are
right the crop will be ready to pasture
in about 80 or 40 days. The pigs should
not be allowed to Craze over the whole
field, but should be confined to small
plots by temporary fences or hurdles.
The pigs make very thorough har.
rcsting, cleaning up the peas and vines
quite thoroughly. The vines that are
left on the ground, together with the
manure, enrich the soil and add more
humus to it.
Rape rs forage crop Is highly
recommended for hogs wherever 1t can
be grown successfully. 1t may be
sown both early and late in the sea.
