194 RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SWINE FEEDING 
hogs pasturing on clover, when pork is worth 6 cents, and 
when rent of land, taxes, labor, ete., are valued at $10.00 per 
acre.” 
Rape, Oats, and Clover.—This mixture was sown at the 
rate of 5 to 7 pounds of rape, 14 bushel of oats, and 6 to 10 
pounds of clover per acre. The results are summarized as 
follows: “A herd averaging 10 hogs per acre was pastured 
on rape, oats, and clover forage for an average of 96 days 
for the seasons 1909 and 1910, and produced an average of 
394 pounds of pork that could be accredited to each acre of 
forage eaten. <A value of 89 cents may be obtained for every 
bushel of corn fed to hogs on rape, oats, and clover forage when 
pork is worth 6 cents per pound, and when rent, labor, taxes, 
ete., are valued at $10.00 per acre.” 
Sorghum.—One test was conducted with sorghum forage. 
The sorghum was sown with the grain-drill at the rate of one 
bushel per acre. It is recommended to turn in the hogs when 
the sorghum is 114 to 2 feet high, and to pasture about 12 
hogs per acre. From July 6th, when the hogs were first 
turned on the pasture, until September 21st, the hogs made 
good gains, showing a profit of from $4.85 to $10.00 per acre, 
and using from 2.73 to 4.24 pounds of grain per pound of 
gain. About the middle of September a second growth started, 
after which the hogs did not make profitable gains. The second 
growth is believed to have a poisonous effect upon hogs. 
Cow-peas (Fig. 45) were sown broadcast at the rate of 114 
bushels per acre, and the hogs were turned in when the berries 
were just out of the dough stage. ‘A herd averaging 12 
hogs per acre was pastured on cow-pea forage for an average 
of 35.7 days during the seasons of 1908, 1909, and 1910. 
There were produced on the average 224.9 pounds of pork that
