Self Feeder. Local Tarmers
Approve Plan.
THIS PIGS EAT AT WILL
j-"'.. Four herds of hogs .were ^eig-ied'
this week to ascertain iheir ' gaih m
B|
Pf- feeder, the cost per pound gain.
.. and the average gain made per. day
per pig.
Mr. J * C WagstafT started \*uh
ten ptg;s this spring on the self feeder
and fed them according: to the j
methods used by the best pOrk r row
ers for securing the fastest and j
cheapest gains bv allowing the pigs
to eat at will from the self feeder of
; rem ni^alr fish meal and shorts, <-ach
in separate compartments, with
? ? -plenty of water before the pigs at all
_ times and salt, ashes and Sulphur;
Which were kept before the pigs in
separate box where they couM eat
of these "minerals al^wHI'. "
They were on the feeder i50 days
? when weighed. Thr total weight
the ten .pigs yere 2390 lbs; Deduct
ing 326 lbs for the initial weight of
thfc pigs leaves 2070 lbs gained in 150 |
days. This makes an average gain 1
ior the lot of 1.36 pounds per day
per pig. One pig was sick a long i
tir e and did not weigh as much as I
the rest. If this pig were taken from i
the lot. the gain per day for the
niiie pigs would have been 1.63
pounds. per pig per day. The arver
. age for the State last year, on .4 3,11
head fed under . similar conditions
*rs a gain of 1.33 pounds per day.
Counting the cost of all feeds since |
the records started it market prices
for the corn, corn meal, fish meal!
and shorts, each pound of pork cost
7 s 4 cents per pound gain.
Mr. K." C, Wagstaff started May
If with 12 head of pigs on the
Jeeder and sold four of them recently. !
Thr total weight of the eight 'pigs ;|
was ' 2291 pounds. Deducting 320 ,
pcrmds for the . initial weight would j
ive 1971 ponnds net gain in 140.!
cays. . This would give an- average
daily sain of 1.64. pound- pej^day. 1
Deducting the teed bill styows that |
th" pork was produced at eight cents
?per pound gam. The average weigh*. ]
of the eight pigs was 286 pounds . i
?-iv. Jno. D. Winstead started in I
~ ' AjM'.ll Willi 18 head ? of pigs -- which |
'were on the feeder 150 davs when !
weighed The average weight for the
18 head was 314 pounds. The initial
weight of the 18 pigs was 57 pounds.
T?")e weight last week was 5652 pounds. !
Deducting the initial weight would
leave 5076 pounds gained in 150 1
cifiys. or an average of 1.88 pounds
^ er day gain per pig. However two- ,
^?P'hivdS of this, bunch made a daily J
WF; :i'~ n of more than 2 pounds per dav.
pv "His heaviest hog which weighed 375
g . rounds, made an average gain of
. 2 29 pounds per day.
Total cost of all; feed eaten v. as
28 The cp ' was 7.22 cents per
pe* pound tain.
Mr. G. H, Winstead fed out 13
he.ad on the feeder under Similar coll
isions The Initial weight of 'he
: was 384 pouhdr. The .total
? ? ?ht' at the end of 150 days .va.
? ?75.1 pounds, which- leaves a gfejin"
of -2367 pounds for the 12 head or
avarge dailv gain of 1.33 pounds
. per dav The average weight for the
12 head w a$ 229 pounds Th? feed
hill, was $165.00 which if divided by
2797 pounds gain ^would "make the
'-c if-* equal to 6.13 'trnts a pound.

redeem and set free the minds of our
children from the shackles of ijn?
ance and sin. so that they may li
