The census nureau also announces

plants and telephones in their homes.
These questions are designed prim
arlly to mako known tho better liv

jTo secure: cooperation on the part
of tho farmers and intorettiicm in

Wm distributed more than a million
Mil os of tho agriculture schedule.
tjTlie farmers who received these
pies will thus have an opportunity
to study tho questions in advance
and bo ready to give prompt and ac
curate lnforma(lon to the census en
umerator when ho calls during the
month of January. Any farmer who
(teelres a copy ot the agriculture
aefeedule In advance may secure ono
6yl!wrlt!ng to tho Bureau of the Cen
sus, Washington. D. C. An extra
supply of tho schedules has been
printed for this purpose.

Tho fluctuations which hnvo been
experienced In thoi hog production,
according to exports ot tho dopnrt
mont ot Agriculture, ara tho results
of tho lack of knowledge ns to tho
possibility of using certain Irrigated
field crops, and tho vtttuo ot those
crops when measured In terms of
pork production. Full advantago
must bo takou of tho wfdo raugo ot
feeds nvailablo toT'swlnq producers.
Irrigation tarmeifc ,?gr tho'mbst
part, lWu had to fo'fojifton the re
sults obtafli&l In nonnTlgated sec
tions, and applied to seat Ions where
wob-footed crops nrogrown. Owing
to this lack of knowledge tho de
partment of ogrlculturo has made ex
haustive study ot Western irrigated
projects on tho utilization of irrigat
ed Meld crops as hog pasture Pas
ture tests were made on 149 lots con
sisting ot 3,795 hogs pastured on al
falfa, sweet clover, corn and field
peas.
Feeding with supplementary rat
ion such ns barley, corn, wheat or
shorts, making up two percent of tho
ration, ono ncro of good nlfalfn pas
turo will produce with reasonably
surety 2,500 pounds of pork. As
high ns 4,292 pounds per ncro hnvo
boon recorded where three per cent
ration ot supplementary carbonace
ous feed was used.
Naturally tho gains depend on tho
size and quality of the crop, the char
acter of tho hogs, the method of man
agement and. the quality and quant
ity of supplementary feed. It is said
that It is a poor policy to attempt to
feed alfalfa to hogs without supple
mentary ration.
Experts are agreed that an ncro
of good alfalfa pasturo If supple
mented with a 2 per cent ration of
barley or corn will support bIx to
eight sows and 50 to 7.Q.suckpg pigs
for about 60 days during, the sum
mer, during which ilmfi the pigs
should gain between 2St6t36jTpVunds
apiece. ''?$?' Y
