PIG FEED EXPERIMENTS
UNION
III
OF GREAT VALUE
; A paper was read during the Farm
ers' week Ny County Agriculturist
Spillman on the subject "Pig Feed
ing." Mr. Spillman has been engaged
at the experiment station at Union
and the figures he gives are from
the records.
It is quite customary among farm
ers where alfalfa is grown to turn
their shoates into the alfalfa fields,
there to find their livin" until fall
when they are turned into the stub
ble and subsequently fattened, t
Whether this ' is the most profit
able system of handling growing pigs
is a somewhat disputed question, as
far as the p:-actice of . letting the
hogs feed ton alfalfa without a grain
supplement is concerned. Because of
this the following experiment was
outlined.
Four lots of pigs were selected, all
of them quite uniform as to size and
thrift. There were twelve piufs in
each lot and each lot having a meas
ured acre of alfalfa pasture to graze.
The alfalfa was very uniform through
out the farm. The pigs were turned
into these lots May 19, so the alf
alfa had a good start before pastur
ing began.
The hogs in the various lots were
fed as follows:'
Lot 1. Alfalfa pasture and chopped
feed from self-feeders.
Lot 2. Alfalfa pasture; no grain.
Lot 3. Alfalfa pacture, plus one
poundi of ch( iped wheat to 100 pounds
of live weight. j
Lot 4. Alfalfa pasture, plus two
pounds of chopped wheat to 100
pounds of live weight.
After eight weeks the hogs in Lot
1 had made an average gain of 158.83
pounds and averaged 221.66 pounds
per head. They had made this grain
on 552.83 pounds of wheat, requiring
348.06 pounds of grain to make 100
pounds of gain. The acre of alfalfa
pastured by this lot of hags also made
one cutting of hay as they did not
graze the pasture closely.
At the same time lot 2, had made an
average of 15.67 pounds, averaging
78.50 pounds. They had made some
growth of frame but were in very
poor condition. The alfalfa had been
kept closely grazed.
Lot 3, had made an average gain
of 48.33 pounds, Nveliing 110,83
pounds per head, consuming 94.46.
They appeared to be in fair condition,
having made considerable growth of
frame but were in poor flesh. Their
pasture also had been closely fed.
Lot 4 had made, an average gain of
75.66, weighing 138.16 pounds per
head. They consumed 210.10 pounds
of wheat, had grown large frames and
were in fair flesh, appearing much
more thrifty than either of lot 2 or 3.
Neither had they grazed their pasture
as closely as the two preceeding los.
Of the four lots, lot 1 was the only
one in marketable condition, they be
ing first class market hogs. The
other lota would be classed as feeders
or stock hogs lot 4 good, lot 3 fair,
lot 2 poor.
All four lots were carried over from
September 7 to Oct. 11 on practically
a maintenance ration, as they were
exhibited at the county fair, the
object being to keep them in practi
cally the same condition as they were
on Sept. 7. During this time their
ration consisted of chopped barley, it
being more bulky than wheat and
seemedTnore desirable when hogs are
on short feed.
Oct. 11, lots 2, 3 and 4 were put
c;( self feeders in their alfalfa ipas
turas, the grain feed being chopped
wheat Oct. 26, we began supplement
ing the alfalfa pasture with third cut
ting of alfalfa hay, feeding what the
hogs would clean up fairly well.
Dec. 6, lots 3 and 4 were finished
for market. Lot 3 had made an aver
age gain per head of 117.33 pounds,
averaging 234.83 pounds per head
on 473.16 pounds of wheat, making 100
pounds of pork from 403.27 pounds of
wheat. Lot 4 had made an average
gain of 118 pounds and averaged
264.33 pounds per head, making 100
pounds of pork for every 419.35
pounds of grain. Lot 2 was not fin
ished until Dec. 20. This lot made
an average gain of 128.17 pounds,
averaging 217.83 pounds per head and
maturing 100 pounds of pork for every
418.56 pounds lof grain. Lot 2 re
quiring two weeks longer to finish
than lots 3 and 4.
Lot 4 required eight weeks, the
same as lot 3 ns they had larger
frames, thus requiring more time to
fatten.
The cost pe - pound of grain for the
finished hogs was as follows: Lot 1,
$.0609; Lot 2, $.0681; Lot 3, $.0641;
Lot 4, $.0617. This includes all wheat
fed from May 19 until each lot was
finished.
From this it will be noted that the
self-feeder hogs made the most econ
omical pnir.s, being .712 of a cent p-?r
pound cheaper than lot 2, .32 of a cent
cheaper than lot 3 and .38 of a cent
per pound than lot 4.
Not only were the grains of lot
1 the most economical, but practically
twice as many hogs could be carried
cn this same acreage Also if put
into alfalfa pasture i n.onth earlier
they would be finished at a tiipe
when the price of hogs is U3'ially
i.1 the best. -
The value of pastures was figured
on-the basis of $10 per acre for alf
alfa v 1 tat at $1.00 per huslit!
SPOONING PARLORS 'NEEDED.
"Beau" Parlors Should Be Provided
Thinks Altruist.
New York, Feb. 5. The right kind
of a spooning parlor should be a very
important .part of every well regu
lated girls -.boarding home, according
to Miss Blanche Geary, National Eco
nomic & Buildings Specialist of the
National Young Women's Christian
association, here today. Miss Geary
calls it a "beau parlor" and says it
should be "a place where girls can
meet young men friends and not be
interrupted or have close supei vision;
and where they will be given a chance
to set up relations which may result
in a happy home life of an ideal kind
later on."
Miss Geary says the association
wants to demonstrate the ideal fam
ily life, as far as it can be made pos
sible, with large numbers under one
roof; it wants to develop a spirit of
independence and self-governmenc,
and to grant the freedom yhich stops
short of license, that is, freedom plus
standards.
"We are convinced," she said today,
"that the wage-earning girl is in busi
ness for good. All too frequently she
is away from her family and it never
will be possible for one organization to
meet her housing needs. We are
eager, not only for others to build
homes which we could manage, but to
see boarding home3 built and operated
by individuals, or groups of individ
uals who have the true welfare and
comfort of girls at heart.
"The ideal boarding home should
have a fun and frolic room, a recrea-.
tion hall where girls can gather for
entertainment of their own devising,
and have general good times; beau
parlors where girls can meet young
men friends and not be interrupted,
or have too close supervision; give
them a chance to set up relations
which would result in a happy home
life of an ideal kind later on.
"There should be kimono parlors
on one of the upper floors in which
girls could lounge in freedom and
have a good time after the day'3
grind in the shop or factory, a kitch
enette where fudge parties and birth
day spreads can be planned and pre
pared for, an infirmary for temporary
illnesses and a roof built to stand the
traffic, wear and tear which would re
sult from recreation of one kind or
another on summer evenings, and
which would compete with the attrac
tions of the gaily lighted streets."
Miss GeaTy says that an aver
charge of $5.00 a week for board and
room will place a home for 75 to 200
girls on the right basis, that this will
enable the management to care for
a certain number of girls for $3.50 to
$4.00 a week, balancing with the num
ber who can be asked to pay from
$6.00 to $6.50 a week. These varying
prices give-two-fold opportunity to the
organization. It gives the ineflicient
girl an opportunity to make a start,
help her while she attains efficiency
and higher wage earning capacity,
and at the same time makes it possi
ble to bring the inefficient girl under
the inspiration of the girl who ha3
succeeded to a certain extent and has
well defined ambitions.
Miss Geary is the author of a book
on finance work and the management
of finance campaigns. "City Associa
tion Finance," which might be ap
plied equally well to any organiza
tion's finance efforts. She is also the
originator of a personal account book,
which is being used by thousands of
women and girls throughout the
cuntry.
This book is divided into headings:
Living expenses, postage, phones,
carfares, clothing, laundry, health,
recreation, vacation, education, gifts,
benevolences, insurance, investments
and two blank columns for additional
entries. It also gives a column for til
cash received, the date, and explana
tion of items, and a paid out column.
The last two pages of the book gives
a summary under these headings for
the twelve months of the year.
Although Miss Geary is an advo
cate of thrift and efficiency, she be
lieves that to reduce expenditure is
not the one and only aim we should
set up for girls. We should try to
show her how not to taste the many
opportunities for rest, recreation,
strong physical well being and growth
of mental abilities. It is not so much
the question of saving more money,
but how to use it to the fullest for
all around development.
Miss Geary is making big improve
ments in housing conditions for wom
en and girls in industry in America
today. She is an English woman who
gave up a musical career in London
because she felt that teaching music
to after-dinner-society pupils wasn't
enough. The problem of properly
housing working girls and women
forced to live in undesirable tenements
she has reduced to an exact science
and has gotten big results.
After four years' volunteer training
and experience in managing certain
model tenement buildings in London,
Miss Geary heard from an American
woman of the Model Tenement City
and Suburban Homes company in New
York and decided to come to Ameri
ca. It took her some time to con
vince the company that a woman
could take charge of that kind of
work. When she began there were
150 tenants and in the eight years of
her management, which included the
repairing, hiring of employes, choos
ing of tenants and the collection of
rents, the number has increased to
2,804.
It was in this work that the. Na
tional Board of the Young Women's
Christian association found her, and
asked her advice on' new buildings
they wej'e about to erect. When the
National Board was ready to add an
economic and buildings specialist to
it's staff Miss Geary was offered the
position. Miss Geary accepted. She
is now the consulting specialist for
the 976 associations on all matters
pertaining to her particular work.
She is called on to help select sites,
to go over all blue print plans, mak
ing suctfi changes as she deems ad
visable; to advise on building mater
ials, cafeteria equipmentnd manage
ment and everything por'taining to
the economic status of the associa
tion. Her office headquarters looks
like the office of the busiest business
man. She has the regulation archi
tect's cabinets for materials and
plans, and from the blue prints always
spread out on her large work table,
one might call her office an architect's
laboratory.
