It is to be emphasized that if quick 

 and economical gains are to be made 

 pastures must be succulent. This 

 means getting the animals on the 

 pasture early while this condition still 

 obtains. This condition may be main- 

 tained for a long period if sutticient 

 moisture is available and the field or 

 pasture is given alternate periods of 

 rest. This may be conveniently ar- 

 ranged by having two or three in- 

 closures. These fields are then used 

 alternately, the hogs remaining in each 

 about a week or ten days. In the case 

 of clover or alfalfa the growth is

allowed to bccoine three or four inches 

 high before the hogs are turned in to 

 eat quickly. When the pasture con- 

 sists of such crops as rape, kale and 

 velch, which will not stand such close 

 grazing, the growth is permitted to 

 reach a height of 8 to 10 inches before 

 the animals are turned in. Changing 

 the hogs from field to field gives the 

 pasture a period of rest, during which 

 llie plants recuperate and grow rapidly. 

 When the stock is returned to the field 

 the forage is clean, tender, palatable 

 and large quantities are consumed. 

 (Iwing to the rapid growth made while 

 at rest, a pasture that is subdivided and 

 the areas grazed alternately is capable 

 of carrying a much larger number of 

 hogs per acre, other conditions being 

 efjual, than one that is continuously 

 pastured. Hogs are inclined to root 

 when the surface of the ground is wet 

 or damp. For this reason the pasture, 

 if under irrigation, is irrigated just 

 after the hogs are changed from one 

 pasture to another. This gives the sur- 

 face of the ground time to dry before 

 Ihe forage is large enough to he grazed. 

 When conditions permit a grain crojj 

 may be desirable. This is especially 

 true where there is a superabundance 

 of moisture and the trees are making 

 too much growth. Such a pasture is 

 very desirable when the hogs are ncar- 

 ing the limit of growing i)eri()(l and the 

 fattening period is hcgim. Such croiis 

 as wheat (soft clul) tyi)e), field peas and 

 barley are splendid. These recom- 

 mendations with reference to grain 

 iiuist he accepted cautiously, as condi- 

 tions usually arc not adapled in the 

 orchard for crops of this kind. With 

 legumes, however, the limitations are 

 niiich less. An ob.jcction to the use of 

 lliese animals usually is that they dam- 

 age the trees and root up the ground. 

 One method of avoiding this has 

 already been sug,gcstcd. Again, in such 



cases this is due to having a poor grade 

 (if animals, consequently poor feeders 

 are having a poor crop on which to 

 feed. In either case, and especially 

 where condiined chances for success 

 are small, a high-grade animal must be 

 used and succulent feed provided if 

 results are to be secured. After the 

 fruit crop is beginning to mature it is 

 advisable to remove the animals to 

 another field, as it is at such times their 

 tree-climbing and acrobatic tendencies 

 receive the greatest stinudus. This is 

 especially so with low-headed varieties 

 such as Jonathan. 



In closing llie writer wishes to re- 

 mind that observations in the valley 

 are still in the preliminary state, and 

 that tests will have to made over a wide 

 field and under varying conditions be- 

 fore even general reconnnendations 

 may be made.
