 This may be done by means of a movable or temporary

 gradually to a full-feed of new corn. They should be turned 

 in when the dent has just been formed in the corn kernel. 

 C'owpeas, soybeans, rape, rye, or other forage crops planted 

 in the corn after the last cultivation add considerably to the 

 feeding value. An adjoining pasture of clover or alfalfa is 

 advantageous if there is no legume forage in the cornfield. 

 If no leguminous forage is supplied with the corn, the hogs 

 should receive some tankage, middhngs, or linseed meal in 

 addition. 



Perennial rye grass is the principal pasture grass of 

 Europe, occupying the same position there as bluegrass 

 holds in the United States. However, it is of little impor- 

 tance in the United States. 



Meadow fescue is used some for pasture in Kansas and 

 Nebi'aska. It is quite palatable and is considered especially 

 valuaijle for fattening cattle.
