I[~HOG FEEDING ON THE BIEBERICH FARM~|

County Agent Overton has been receiving so many inquiries regarding the results of the hog feeding demonstration on the farm of Otto Biebefich, in Kirkland township, that, for the benefit of persons unable to attend the demonstration meeting, he has summarized the results into a narrative form. The pictures accompanying this narrative are produce! from photographs taken of average individuals in the three different lots and the pictures of the three different hogs were taken with the hogs the same distance from the camera so that the pictures represent very accurately the difference that existed by the animals in the three different lots at the end of the feeding period. To those who followed the reports of the demonstration in the papers from time to time, it will be remembered

this rate, it required 1764 pounds of corn to produce 100 pounds of poi k. the average cost of each pound of gain in this lot was 38.2 cents and the loss per pig fed was $5.68 or the two pigs in the lot lacked $11.36 of paying for their feed to say nothing of paying for the labor for taking care of them. The three pigs in the second lot. which were fed corn and tankage in a dry lot, averaged 33 pounds per head at the beginning of the feeding test and at the close of the test averaged 143 pounds per head. They had made a total gain of 107.6 pounds per head or an average of .95 of 1 pound per day Each heg in this lot consumed 629 pounds of feed and, eating at this rate, it required 585 pounds of feed to make 100 pounds of pork. The average cost of each pound of gain was 12.4

in this lot made a profit of $210.90 above the cost of feed, including the charge for pasture. in glancing over the result of the three different lots some very interesting and practical things are to be noticed, in the first place ta pigs in lot number one. fed corn alone, averaged 7% pounds per head heavier at the beginning of the feeding period than did the pigs in lot 'lumber three, but at the close the pigs in lot number three averaged 111.4 pounds par head heavier. When the rate of gain per day is considered, it is lotieed that the pigs in the lot number three, gained 6% times as fast as did those in lot number one. Comparing the feed eaten for 100 pounds of gain in let number three and number one, it is found that the pigs on corn, tankage and clover pasture requireo only .78

of average daily gain for each cue of these periods, and also of the amount of feed consumed for 100 pounds of gain and of the average cost per pound jof gain for the period. Taki.tg the lot number three as typical of he | other two lots, we Hud that front the

that on May 23rd Mr. Iliel erich divided the spring pigs in to three different 14»t». Two pigs were put into lot number one and were fed corn alone. Three pigs were put into lot number two and were fed corn and tankage. Twenty-two pigs were «put into lot number three and were fed corn and tankage on clover pasture. The care of the three different lots was as nearly exactly the same as possible and all three lots were fed for 113 days. The pigs in lot number one, fed corn alone averaged 34H pounds per head at the beginning of the teat ami at the end of the test they averaged 57 pounds per head and had made tut average gain of pounds. The average daily gain per head was 0.19 pounds and each pig in this lot consumed 397 pounds of feed during the 113 day’s feeding period. Eating at

cents. In this lot each pig made a profit of $5.46 above the cost of his feed or in other words the three pigs in this lot made a profit of $16.38. The pigs in Jot number three, which was fed corn and tankage on clover pasture, averaged 27.1 pounds per head at the beginning of the test end at the close averaged 168.4 pounds, thus making a total gain of 141.3 pounds per head and an averag'’ daily gain of one and one quarter pounds per head. The animals in this 1J consumed dn an average 536 pounds rer head for the entire feeding period and. eating at this rate, it required 378 pounds of feed for 100 pomi-ls of gain. The average cost of each pound of gain in this lot was 9.7 cents and each individual made a profit of $10.95 above the cost of feed, or the 22 pigs

pounds of feed for ’.Co pounds of gain as against 1764 pounds for 'he pigs in lot number one, or. in other words it tooks more than 4 ,{■ times as much feed for the pigs in the dry 10l that were only fed c< :n as it did -for those receiving corn, lankaga ami clover pasture. In figuring the cost of feed, prevailing market prints were taken as a standard. Mr. Bie'ie'ich bought practically all the feed used in the three different lots and the rate at which he had to pay for the feed from time to time, was the rate taken in charging the feed to the different lots. Fork was credited to each lot at l"!i cents, the rate at which the hogs from the two best lots were sold. The three different lots were weighed 4 times during the 113 days that they were fed and a record was kept

f first to the 28th day an average daily t gain of 1 pound was made at a st of f G.Gcent;. and 298 pounds of b ed were d required for 100 pounds of gain. Krom e the 29th to the 06th day, an aveiafte e daily gain of 1.17 pounds was recorded □ at a cost of 7.7 cents per pound und

324 pounds feed were required lor l(Ki pounds of gain. From 57th to 93rd day, the lot made an average dailygain per head of 1.35 pounds at a cost of 10.4 cents per pound and ?s■> pounds of feed were required for 100 pounds of gain. From 94th to 113th day, there was an average daily gain per head of 1.49 pounds, or practically a pound and half, at a cost of 14.1 cents per pound and 518 pounds of fa id were required for 100 pounds of gam Th< two practical things brought rut from this record are. first, that is the hog grows older the gain per day is much more rapid than when the animal is young; and second, the older the hog, the more it costs to put on a pound of gain. From these results it can readily be seen that the time to make cheap pork is when the hogs are young. This not only applies to hogs but to all classes of livestock as well. With very few exceptions, young stock should be pushed along as rapid ly as possible. At the demonstration meeting on the Bieberich farm 81 autos and 14 buggies conveyed a crowd of 356 people to the meeting at which J. W. Schwab assisted in the meeting. Lots number 2 and 3 have been sold, but the lot number 1, which was fed corn alone and which made such a very poor showing, was kept. The pigs on this lot are now receiving corn, tankage and clover pasture, ration which gave the best result. County Agent !
