August 



Oak Grove, thirteen hogs were kept on 

 ;i three-acre patch of clover until such 

 time as an adjoining tract of field peas 

 became ripe enough to be fed ofl". Both 

 crops were in an orchard near bearing 

 age. The thirteen hogs placed in this 

 experiment weighed on an average of 

 7.3. .'i pounds. They were pastured on 

 clover without supi)lementar> feed for 

 thirt> -two days. During this time they 

 made an individual average gain of 18.5 

 pounds, or .57 pounds per day. In the 

 succeeding thirty days they were fed 

 rolled barley at the rate of one-half 

 pound per hog daily. During this 

 period the average gain was .44 pounds 

 per hog. Owing to the fact that the 

 animals made smaller gains during this 

 period than the former period the rela- 

 tion of greater succulency during the 

 early season's growth to quick and 

 economical gains is obvious. This is 

 important. In the fifty-eight succeed- 

 ing days the animals ran on clover and 

 pastured off the peas in the adjoining 

 field. During this period they made an 

 individual gain of .77 pounds per day. 

 Thus the total gain per animal over a 

 period of 127 days was 77.2 pounds, or 

 .64 pounds per day. It is also worthy 

 of note that 20 head of very small pigs 

 also pastured witli them during the 

 entire time on clover. The exact 

 amount of feed consumed, therefore, 

 was not determined. However, the 

 gain of .04 pounds daily per hog was 

 very good considering the amount of 

 grain fed, and indicates that there is 

 profit in hogs in a normal season.
