a bushel of corn was worth as much as 

 a bushel and a half of cane seed wher. 

 fed with alfalfa for fattening hogs. 



Where fall pigs were wintered and 

 turned on alfalfa pasture in the spring, 

 there was more profit per pig from those 

 grown out largely on pasture and then 

 fattened than from those fed out more 

 quickly. 



Four seasons' records show that old 

 sows being fattened on corn and alfalfa 

 pasture gained 2 pounds per head daily, 

 ate 355 pounds of corn for 100 pounds 

 of gain, and gave a net profit of over .1 

 cents daily. 



A summary of the results recorded in 

 Bulletin 121 together with data from this 

 Bulletin 123 indicates that the cost of 

 feed to produce a 225-pound market hog 

 was $3.35 per 100 pounds and that keep- 

 ing the hog until it weighed 325 pounds 

 increased the cost to $3..">7 per 100 

 pounds. This includes only the cost of 

 feed and does not include the cost of 

 labor, equipment, unusual risk, or inter- 

 est on investment.

 tion to the Nebraska Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station, Lincoln.
