IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem Of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-Good
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise is one Of the most impor-
tant factors In the growth Of hogs.
Hogs that are confined in a small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame points out Ray Gatewood, in
structor In animal husbandry In the
agricultural college.
"The problem Of exercise" said Mr..
Gatewood. sis more difficult to solve
In winter than in any other season Of
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept on the pasture for the
good of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on field
which Is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
aelds in which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be
cause hogs are likely to remain in
their sheds too much in the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take a certain amount Of ex-
ercise."
