Clover versus rape. 



The relative merits of these two crops have been tested in 

 six separate feeding experiments, the summarized results 

 of which appear in Table XXXVIII. In each trial the 

 pigs on clover were fed the same grain rations as were 

 those on rape. Pigs of spring farrow were employed and, 

 except in the Wisconsin trials, were confined to measured 

 areas of forage. The different experiments covered 

 periods ranging from 60 to 141 days.
