ANNUAL SWINE DAY

parts of the state are expected to
gather at Purdue on Friday, Sept 20,
to inspect the experimental droves OF
hogs and to hear reports OF feeding
results on the 120-acre hog farm, three
miles out of Lafayette.
The 13 lots of hogs being finished
for market will be of special interest.
Full feeding on pasture for early mar
ket is compared with feeding limited
grain for growth, followed by full feed
ing. The feeding value of clover, al
falfa and rape pasture also are being
compared.
Annual swine day at Purdue is now
an established institution and the re-
ports later sent out to the press are
read with much interest yall who are
anxious to learn the most profitable
way to feed and to take advantage of
the experience gained by intensive
study and practice at the state farm.
Information will be given on the
brood SOW experiments and other hog
work on the farm. The afternoon will
be devoted to an inspection of the
farm. Lunch will be served in the
judging pavilion at noon. Minerals
fed with corn and soy beans, both in
dry lot and on pasture, is one of the
most interesting tests to be reported.
Whether soys should be fed whole or
ground is being tested out by four lots
of hogs. Five other lots are hogging
off corn to compare tankage, soy
! beans grown in the field, and soys with
mineral supplements. We have so
many hog raisers in Wayne and so
much fancy stock, that it is natural
/ to expect that this county will be we'll
/ represented at Purdue next Friday.
