'MmiiWimPAlCrgJflBUfflVm OREGON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 18, 1908. E Bulletin o! Oregon Agri cultural College Urges the Raising of More Hogs A recent bulletin isnucd by the Ore Hon agricultural college says: There is no brunch of animal hus bandry in a grain growing section that will give quicker, surer, or larger re turns than will hogs. Despite this fact, Oregon for a number of years has utter ly failed to produce enough pork pro ducts to supply the home demand. It is certainly a strange anomaly that traiu loads of Nebraske fed hogs are producing suctions of the continent. brought past one of the best hog These hogs can be grown and finished for the market on field peas, or upon wheat and barley. It has been demon strated by farmers in this section that hogs can be profitably grown on wheat pasture during the summer. Experimental feeding has shown that three and one-half pounds of wheat will produce a gain of one pound of live weight on a hog fattened for bacon. For a longer period of futtening so as to secure a lard type, of hog, more grain will be required. The heavier larded ed hog will require about 450 pounds of wheat for 100 pounds gain in live weight. This at GHs cents per pound would bring to the grower 73 cents per bushel for his wheat. The bncon type would take less wheat beeuase the fin ishing will be done in shorter time, lieneo tho less grain consumed per pouud gain. For 100-pound gains in this type of a hog it will require about 250 pounds of wheat. This at 514 cents per pound will re turn to the grower 94 cents per bushel for his wheat. If the young hogs nre mainly grown on prslure, such as Al falfa, rape, pens, or winter grains sown in the spring, they can be grown to a fattening Htnge for 3U' centH per pound. Should Be Farrowed Early. The pigs should be farrowed early in the spring and permitted to run with their dnms on pasture until they are at b-ast two months old. In tho mean time they should be taught to eat a small supplemental grain feed. After this ho will make a satisfactory growth on good pasture. By fall this pig nhould weigh l'J5 poundo, coating 3H: cents per pound. This includes the cost of sup plemental grain fed and the value of tho pasture. The pig is then finished for market, uud during this process con- suines 350 pounds of wheat anil makes an additional 100 pounds gain. The' cist of growing the pig is $4.37, but j after consuming 350 pounds of wheat ho weighs 225 pounds worth 5 cents per pound, or represents a value of $12.37, thus returning to the grower for his wheal $S or $1.37 per bushel. Equally good results can be secured from pens. The hogs can harvest these themselves. It is believed that a quar ter section of good wheat land shown to pens would fatten 250 hogs worth $30o0 and nt the same time carry over the breeding stock. It may be well to state that the young or the pig the greater gains are secured for the food consuamed. Also the short er the period of fattening the greater the gains for fond consumed. This is largely the reason why the bncon type is the more desirable to grow. Further more, peas and wheat, or peas nnd barley produce the very bent qunlity of bacon hog. In fact the wheat, bar ley nnd pea-fed hog will command a premium over the corn-fed hog in any discriminating market. ORDINANCE NO. 104.
