From a letter written by Dr. Withy-
«-omI*e, director ol the Oregon Agricul

extracts are taken

practically all of the »1«» k feeding dis
tricts the Held |M-a or fodder can in-
grown. If ti t*»r are rli*jled and fed in
the following ration—16 pound« <4 al
falfa or wild hay,
pounds of corn or
pea silage and 5 |M»unds of rolled barley
a gain of 2 poun 1» a «lav should la* se-
cur rd for a peri<al of V0 days It would
put the steer in fine condition and thus
add fr«.m I to .’vent- per p»uti«l to the
value of its initial weight.
Another excellent iced for fattening
rattle is a combination of alfalfa ami
Itrardless barley bav. These may I*
grow n separately <>r in many instances
grown together advantagoiislv. For ex
ample, fields where alfalfa is not thick
ly set should I m « thoroughly disced with
a spike-toothed disc in the spring and
beardless barley drilled in and the whole
cut for hay. This combination is ex
cellent lor putting l»eet rattle in the
very beet of condition for the market.
SHEEP
Prime mutton can be economically
produced from the same feeds suggested
for cattle. In Eastern Oregon the prin-
cipal winter fattening feed should be
alfalfa and beardless barley hay and
rolled I tar lev. In Western Oregon con
ditions are ideal for producing the high
est quality of mutton ami early market
lamb. The winter feed should l*e clover
and vetch bav, kale and rolled l»arley.
These feed« can all lw produced in great
quantities and cannot I m * excelled for
mutton
production. Much of the
growth of sheep, however, in this sec
tion can I m » secured in the open field
from rap«* and winter grain.
HOGS
Oregon it pre-eminently a hogcountry.
No section can excel this state for qual
ity of production when properly finished
on borne glow n leed. Barley or w heat
are the principal fattening feeds for
hogs. Al the Oregon Experiment Sta
tion in feeding experimenta conducted
for the past ten years, the average
amount of wheat or barley required to
produce one pound gain aas four and
one-half pound*.
It was also ascer
tained that it cost approximately from
to 4 cents per pound to grow a pig
to fattening age This must t»e done,
however, largely in the open field on
alafalfa, vetch, clover or rape.
Pigs grate«! on clover during the sum
mer have given a return in growth of
over $40 j»er acre ami from alfalfa even
higher than this Estimating that it
coeta 4 cents per pound to grow the hog
ami when ready to l»v fattened he
weighs 150 )M>unds, makes a total cost of
|<l. After consuming 450 }>ounda of
wheat or barlev he should weigh 250
pounds ami worth at 7 cents |»er pound
JIT.50, or giving a return for 450 pounds
of wheat or barley of 111.50. This gives
a gross return to the farmer for hie
wheat of $1.53 per bushel, and tor hie
barley I1.2N per bushel.
Field peas are also valuable for hogs.
These may I m » fed off without harvest
ing and will yield a return of from 110
to|20 |»er acre. In alfalta grow ing sec
tions hogs can l»e grown very cheaply
and finished economically upon barley.
