Self -feeding of fattening hogs is rapidly iii ii -'asili4 because of the scareity of tarm labor, high prices of hogs and the high price of feed. Self -feeding experiments have given interesting results. Ninety Duroc- Jersey pigs were fattened for mar- ket. They were divided into fifteen lots, three of which were hand -fed a MI the others self -fed - some on pastures and others in dry lots. The pigs were started in the ex- periment with an a erage weight of Lit pounds, and were fed to make an average gain of 150 pounds a pig for each lot. The self -fed pigs 'in the dry lots were ready for market ear- lier, required less labor, gave greater returns for the feed consumed, and based upon averages of the Kansas City market for the last five years would luo e sold for 25 cents more Per hundred !s eight at the time they finished in !He experiment. Two cuttings of hay had been re- moved before the feeding period be- gan. Figuring on a five -months pas- turing season, there is a return 01 $20.25 all BeTet. me rape -pastured pigs were pas- tured at the rate of 24 to the acre, but with a slight shortage of rape during the latter part of the feeding period. Based upon the saving of concentrates, the rape pasture gave a return of $16.20 for the three - months feeding period. Figuring for a four -month pasturing season, there is a return of $21.60 an acre. In testing the efficiency of con- centrates when fed with alfalfa pas- ture to fattening pigs, it was found that corn, shorts and 'tankage gave an advantage of $7.83 an acre when compared with corn, and $4.05 when compared with corn and shorts. These results are based upon pas- turing at the rate of 18 pigs to the acre The comparison of returns FORD BIG FACTOR halv,ekego}t,ioerkfirolottolire • der for Liberty motors was 5,000.
