Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Forage Crops for Hogs 
I was interested in an article by you 
on forage crops for hogs. I am follow¬ 
ing out ns nearly as I can, the method 
you told of having been carried out at 
New Jersey Experiment Station, viz: 
rape. Sweet clover and Soy beaus, except 
that I prefer cow peas instead of beans 
as I grew my own seeds and want to 
grow it on a field that has rather a 
light, sandy soil, to build up the land and 
at the same time have a good forage crop 
for hogs. How would you advise sow¬ 
ing the mixture? I have just finished 
sowing a field of Soy beans for seed. I 
sowed with the grain drill and have the 
rows 32 inches apart, but of course, I 
intend cultivating it and could not do so 
if I were seeding it with rape and clover. 
Would you suggest sowing the same way 
and mixing the clover and rape seed and 
seeding it at the same time with the 
grass seeder attachment of grain drill? 
Maryland A. M. w. 
The most satisfactory way of seeding 
Soy beans or Canada field peas or even 
cow peas is by means of a grain drill. 
We mix the rape and Sweet clover to¬ 
gether and seed this 'through the grass 
seed attachment of a drill, or distribute 
it by means of a Cahoon seeder. It is 
also possible to distribute the clover and 
rape seed with the wheelbarrow seeder. 
Of course if the area is small it can be 
hand seeded; hut this is unsatisfactory, 
inasmuch as the seeds are not properly 
covered, and usually they are not evenly 
distributed. You will have quite as good 
results from your cow peas as you would 
from the Soy beans owing to the fact 
that they are a little more hardy, arc 
probably more palatable, and we believe 
that they will yield a little more forage 
per acre. 
You will find that the Sweet clover and 
rape used in the combination will yield 
abundantly, provided the soil is produc¬ 
tive. One thing, we know and that is 
that rape will not do well in poor soil; 
but that it is the most satisfactory for¬ 
age crop that can be produced on an 
area that is productive and well suited 
for the growing of cultivated crops. 
Usually we drill the Soy beans one way 
nnd seed the rape and Sweet clover in the 
opposite direction, making what we term 
a checkerboard seeding. 
Experience no doubt will reassure you 
that profitable pork production must be 
based on the growing and feeding of for¬ 
age crops, as it is absolutely impossible 
to grow pork at a profit at the present 
price and feed them exclusively on feeds.

Grain with Pasture 
I have taken a farm on shares here on 
which there are 10 cows to milk. Four 
are mature ; six had second calves last 
Spring. All are grade stock. In the 
middle of June on pasture only tin- 10 
gave 230 to 240 lbs. of milk a day. Now 
that pasture is getting shorter they are 
down to 170 lbs. a day or less, with pas¬ 
ture only. We are selling some milk at 
the door for 12 to 15c a quart—remainder 
goes to a dairy company, about 100 
lbs a day at $3.25. Iu view of this 
dairy price will it pay me to give the 
cows feed of graiu morning and night? 
If you advise a graiu ration now please 
inform me what it should be. What 
grain ration shall I give them later with 
hay and corn silage? Will also have 
eight acres of oat hay. but no clover 
or alfalfa. j. h.b. 
It will surely pay you to feed some 
grain to your dairy cows if the pasture 
is getting short, not that it will be prof¬ 
itable from a market standpoint, but it 
will maintain the vigor aud vitality of 
the cows and enable them to produce 
milk more economically during the Win¬ 
ter months. It is impossible for a cow 
to fight flies aud produce a reasonable 
amount of milk without the addition of 
some grain to this pasture forage. 1 
would suggest the following combination: 
400 lbs. of cornmeal; 300 lbs. of gluten ; 
100 lbs. of wheat bran. 
If it is impossible to obtain the gluten 
it may he substituted for oil meal or 
cottonseed meal. I should feed one. lb. 
of this graiu ration for each five lbs. of 
milk produced per cow per day. I am 
assuming that the cows are in good con 
dition and that they have access to souk 
[ legume hay, such as oat aud pea. clover, 
or Alfalfa hay; otherwise the amount of 
corn or hominy iu the mixture must be 
increased, so that they would be eating 
from six to 7 aud a half lbs. of grain 
per day. based upon a production ot 
seven to nine quarts of milk.
