PROMTS ON HOGS
i DEPENDS LARGELY
ON METHODS USED
By W. W. WATSOJJ.

tJint it denls with Mimll tliingi, like
ji'tH, for iiibtnncc; but pip) soon be
come lare tilings, wlieu properly
handled, and there is biij inoni'y in
them when grown under npcenblo
conditions. Like other industries, the
liojr business must be conducted with
judgment if thosD ennged in it mny
hope to reap n profit from it and
vhere is the man who would raise
hogs for fun?
The extension department of the
Oreaon Agricultural college lias be
gun a system of developing the hog
industry by a peculiarly attractive
method that will, if followed faith
fully to a successful conclusion, make
hog raising one of the bur businesses
of the .state. It is not a small factor
ooinincrciully in Oregon today, but
it is not what it should he, by more
than half. . . . k
IIogH are rnfae'd both cheaply and
expensively in this county ehenplv
)y those who know how and e.xpens
icly by thn'-o. who throw the business
in as a side line without careful at
tention to the methods of making it
iay. The lc-s it costs to produce a
noO-jHiund porkur the greater the
profit to the person who raises it. It
becomes, then, a ftictiou of knowing
how to get the greatest poundage of
pork fit to he clascd as standard
at the least comparative expense.
II I.les In I'ectl and Comfort
To suffer discomfort nbnost con
stantly from the heat of the sun or
the cold of winter, from lilthy quar
ter and indifferent feed will seri
ously affect the physical vigor of the
hog and therefore stunt its growth.
1'nder those conditions it is an ex
pensive process to produce n market
able hog of MOO pounds. The profit
'is gone in careless or ignorant man
agement. It doesn't pay to pursue
the swine business in that slipshod
manner. Those who trv that method
always complain that the hog busi
ness doesn't pay and that is the
only point in tlju industry, nn which
Ihey are right, judged by their stan
dard of management.
Knowledge of what to feed and
how to feed it is what invnrinblv
brings the producer the big profit, if
he apply that intormatiou along with
proer treatment of his swine. lie is
the man who will tell you confidently
Unit there is money in hogs.
Alfalfa is the premier hog pasture.
Kvervthing c!e has been tried in
Search for something better, but no
man has found it. Clover, blucgrus,
niH' and a great variety of other
grasses have been tried, but the mnn
who i hone-t in his experiments, both
with himself and his hogs, will get
back to alfalfa. Next in older of
value as hog feed conies 'com. Then
complete the ration with a little tank
age and an extra feed of succulents
between men In, such as half-sugai
mangels, carrots and pumpkins and
if jou can't succeed in the hog busi
ness it is because your swine arc not
propel ly housed in all kinds of
weal tier ami given clean water to
drink. Kimplv because a hog is only
n hog and will eat n. j no icasou
to conclude that it shouldn't have
ulefln water.
Pasturing Corn anil Alfalfu
Some of the bet results in the hog
liiisiiicHe have been obtained by pas.
litiiuif the cornfield. I.et'the hogs
gather the com. Hut tbnt method!
may not be popular in this valley,
wheie the fall rains make the fields
muddy. Sell -feeder supply decided
ly the best method of feeding corn
to hogn; hut many Rogue Itiver val
ley fanners will object to them "he
'iium they're something now." Com
sholleis and grinder uio made in
combination now and every fanner
should have ono. Then he can feed
Jiih swine ground com, which N the
'only way properly to feed it. Since
tho object is to turn off the poiker
in marketable condition as quickly a
jxissihlo at tho propor weight, feed
tho hogs twico daily of ground corn
-r-ns much as they will nlonn up. The
gain in feeding thorn as inuuli twice
a day as they will eat has been found
tji be 35 per cent greater than that
of feeding them one or oven two
pounds a day to evorv 100 ounds of
Jive weight. Turning them off sooner
Wives the extra feed required for the
longer period of feeding necessary.
This fully bnlaneos tho extra feod n
day for the shorter period. In addi
tion to that, thev can ho market ad
oarlier and a better prieo obtained.
