TO KEEP PERMANENT
PASTURES STOCKED
Hogs Relish Grasses When the
Leaves Are Young.
Good Plan to Have Some Other Stock
Eat Coarser Plants-Safe to Craze
Shotes at Rate of Ten to
Fifteen to Acre.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricUltureD
Hogs do not relish grasses except
when the leaves are young and tender
Hence it is necessary, for the best re-
suits, TO keep permanent pastures well
stocked. 1t is usually advisable to
have some other stock in the pastures
with the hogs to eat the cOarser plants.
Cattle are best suited for this purpose.
Moving the pasture in late spring
should be practiced If the plants be
come too far advanced
In most cases il is advisable to have
some of the best supplementary for
age crops to Craze in addition TO the
pasture. A safe rule is TO have at
least one acre Of good permanent pas
ture to each brood sow kept OF
course this acreage could be reduced
or the number of hogs increased where
Il complete succession of supplement-
airy forage crops is raised or where
the land is very productive. A greater
area should be allowed if the grazing
is poor.
The carrying capacity of the various
supplementary forage crops varies
widely, according to the growth OF the
crop AS a rule it IS safe TO Craze
them at the rate of ten to fifteen 100
pound shOtes to the acre. A greater
number will shorten the grazing pc
riOd, and fewer animals will length
en- 1t.
