HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN
PASTURE LOWERS COST
OF PORK PRODUCTION
SAYS AUTHORITY

Hogs on good pasture eat 10 20
80 per cent less grain for the same
gain in live weight than do those in
dry lot. according 10 County Agent
John S. Bordner He says that in
FIVE feeding tests in dry lot at the
Missouri experiment station hogs
ate 81 pounds Of concentrates for
each pound of gain. while the aver
age amount Of concentrates required
per pound Of gain in 10 feeding
trials with hogs on various kinds Of
pasture was only S.54 pounds. This
n cans that there was a saving Of
1.57 pounds OF grain for each pound
of gain made by the hogs on forage
as compared with those in dry lot,
a saving of 30.7 percent.
Farmers who have red clover or
alfalfa for hog pasture are about as
well fixed for hog pasture as they
can be, the county agent declares.
Either OF these crops will provide
pasture from the first to the middle
Of May on throughout the season.
with the possible exception of July
and August. If the summer proves TO
be unusually dry. If red clover or
alfalfa are not available, the county
agent suggests planting some an
nUal pasture crop like rape. rape
and oats or sOybeans. Information
can be secured from his office on
planting these crops and others for
hog pasture.
Those farmers who use nutriti-
Gus forage crops to the fullest pos
sible extent. with sufficient grain 20
keep their pigs and shOtes gaining
one-half TO three-f ourths Of a pound
daily, will be the ones who will
make the greatest profit out Of feed
ing hogs this summer" was the way
in which Mr.. Bordner summed up
the situation. With pasture they
will reduce the cost Of pork pro-
duced 20 to 80 percent; in compari-
son TO what il would be in dry 10.

Today's stock market was an
irregular affair and was gov
erned by the same impulses
that have ruled for some time
past. The capture OF Bailleul

of optimism engendered by yes

ever that limited offerings were

healthy demand existed at frac-
tiOnally lower levels a strong

tested itself. Steel Common was
the feature by reason Of a two
point rally and this impaired
strength TO the other depart
ments. Profit taking sales near
the close resulted in some frac-
tjOnal losses.
