Piqs Fatten on Forage Crops.

The August Farm and Fireside says:
pigs fed on good forage crops will
make many times as much profit as
those fed dry lots.
1.-THE accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age Of the hog, and
amount Of grain fed. An acre of sweet
clover, with corn at $3.50 and hogs at
SIS hundred, netted $42.07: rape,
$3.50; alfalfa, $500: and combi-
nation of oats, peas, and rape. s64.60.
.'Of all forage crops. alfalfa Is the
greatest permanent crop, while rape Is
the emergency crop, and green rye
the fall and early spring crop. The
ideal forage crop should show acapta-
bility to soil and climate, permanency,
palatability, reasonable cost of plant
Ing, and good pasture at any time dur
ing the growing season. Alfalfa, clover.
and rape have most Of these qualities"
