142 ANNUAL EEPOETS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



supplemented with cottonseed meal and other concentrated feeds; 

 the different rotations to use on hog farms, and the cost of pork 

 production; the testing of the various methods that might be prac- 

 ticable on the average dairy farm, and the production of hogs on a 

 dairy farm with skim milk compared with the raising of hogs on 

 other farms. 



A beef -cattle barn, a horse barn, a jack barn, a tool and machinery 

 shed, a well house, a hog feed house, hog cots, and a cattle dipping 

 vat have been erected. 



As a result of this experimental work it is hoped that methods 

 will be developed that will make possible the profitable raising of 

 some kind of live stock on every farm in Louisiana, either as an in- 

 dependent feature or as an adjunct to some other kind of farming.
