Hogs Can Be Fed
Cheaply ON Alfalfa

BOHEMIAN - With increased
numbers of hogs not only on farms
in Montana but throughout the
country as we'll, indications point to
lower prices and growers must
watch costs closely to come out with
the most profit, says Howard G.
Lewis, extension livestock special
ist at Montana State college.
Pasturing hogs on alfalfa is one
of the best ways 40 reduce feed
costs and put on gains cheaply. he
said Hogs on alfalfa are not only
healthier, but they are also thrift
tier because the alfalfa supplies a
good source of protein and min
erals.
Experiments conducted at the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
station show that pigs on alfalfa
supplemented with LIS pounds of
ground barley and ounces of tank
age per day had the lowest feed
requirement They also made the
cheapest gains and the highest gain
per day-l35 pounds. These hogs
were finished on self feeders which
contained 90 per cent ground ban
ley and 4 per cent -tankage, Lewis
said.
The specialist reminds growers
that when hogs are pastured on
alfalfa the crop must not grow too
rank. 1t is good practice to clip
the pasture when there is sufficient
growth for hay crop Hogs kept
in closely grazed pasture have less
tendency to root up the alfalfa sod.
When used for hog pasture with a
grain supplement, alfalfa is worth
from $l8 to $26 per acre.
If an alfalfa pasture is not avail
able, rape, Huntley mixture and
even small grains are very good
substitute, Lewis said Recent ex-
periments at the University of IL
linois indicate that one acre of rye
pastured by hogs saved approxi-
mately 100 bushels of corn and 500
pounds of supplement
Producing hogs on pasture alone
is not economical. About one and
one-half to one and three-fourths
pounds per day Of grain and either
skimmilk or buttermilk are good
supplements.

Used Card Money

The first paper money used in
America was issued by French au-
thorities at Quebec in 1885, accord
ing to an official of the Detroit Coin
club. Merchants and traders accept
ed it, since Canada was in desperate
need of small change. Crude bills
were made from ordinary playing
cards. cut into four pieces, each
piece being stamped with a feur-
de-lis and crown, and signed by the
governor, intendant and clerk of the
treasury. Card money circulated in
Detroit for many years and proved
more valuable than some of the
beautifully engraved notes which
followed it.

Called by some "the baron's

Butte dam was the breastwork be-
hind which the national irrigation
forces successfully fought the bat
LIS for government aid in the re-
clamation of arid domains of the
West. It's continual discussion
finally resulted in passage of the
irrigation act by congress.
Foundation tests at the damsite
located about 16 miles east of Flor
ence. were made in 1898. Glowing
reports resulted. Tests showed that
there were neither engineering nor
legal difficulties in the way OF Its
construction.
However, other factors intervCn-
ed. other dams were built and for
many years the dream" was all
but forgotten. The few who per-
sisted in keeping the project cons

mond drilling test is in progress
the one made in 1889 is said to be
one of the first diamond drilling
tests ever made in America. Funds

able, the dam may be started with
