in n t of Agi Ic ulture )
Although cum constitutes a hirge
proportion of the feed given to hogs,
the cost of producing pork may be ma
terially reduced by tbe use of pasture
nd forii(,' crops, supplemented by
grain. Jttipe, soy beans, cowpeas,
pnuts, ulfalfa, clover, vetch, rye,
oats, and Ciinu'lu field peas are all val
uable forage crops for swine of any
0K'. in general, tbe grain ration which
la suited to be fed with the legumes
Is corn and barley, etc. ; with tbe non-
legume plants, a small amount of ni
trogenous feed, such ns tankage or oil
meal, Is advisable.
Aa a general rule, if rapid gains are
desired, a full ration of grain is fed
along with tbe forage, but if economy
in feeding is to be practiced smaller
nronortlons of grain will be better, in
some sections of the country, where
pastures are luxuriant, mature hogs
are maintained in apparently satisfac
tory condition on pasture alone. This
practice should be followed, nowever,
in case of young, growing pigs, because
they will become thin in flesh and
stunted If compelled to live on pasture
alone.
In a feeding test extending over
three summers at tbe Missouri experi
ment qtnttun. fornce crops demonstrat
ed their value. Ten pounds of gain
were accredited to each bushel of corn

VVlien fed in the dry lot, a common
custom is to give the pigs all the feed

short time. For a tile welching 15 to
50 pounds live weight, a full ration for

for each 100 nounds of weight; for
larger pigs the ration will continue
to grow smaller In proportion to weight
until the 300 to 350-pound pig will only
consume a dully ration equal to about
2.4 per cent of his weight.

After the pigs are four or five weeks

National and Local
Meat Business
The meat business of the
country is conducted by various
agencies
By small slaughter-houses

By local Abattoirs or small
Packing Houses in towns
both
Using only a part of the
local live stock supply
and
Furnishing only a part of
the local demand for meat.
.These slaughtering and distributing
agencies fill a well defined but neces
sarily restricted place in the distribu- ,
tion of the products of live stock.
But only packers like Swift .&

scale, are able to undertake the ser
vice that is more vitally important,
involving
An Obligation to the Producer
To purchase for spot cash""a the
live stock the producer may send

meat products, of the highest
standard that the market affords.
