should be turned on the soy beans
in time to eat all the leaves before

Rape is one of our best forage
crops for pigs. It should be sown
5 lbs. to the acre on some of the
best land available in August. This
will furnish grazing for winter and
early spring till clover is ready to
graze the latter will furnish pas
ture till theoy beans are ready for
the pigs.
If no clover is available for spring
pasture, sow 2 bushels of oats, 5 lbs.
of rape, and 6 lbs. of red clover per
acre as early in the spring as pos
sible. When the crop is 8 to 10
inches high it is ready to graze and
will furnish pasture till the soy
beans are ready to graze.
In discussing "hogging off" crops
we must not overlook the fact
that the excrement of the pigs is
distributed quite uniformly over the
field and that it contains nearly all
the fertilizing materials of the food
consumed. Then, too, nearly all the
dry matter from which humus is
formed is returned to ' the land.
Consequently the productivity of the
land is being constantly increased.
