Clemson College.'-"rhe market hog that sees his first birthday usually loses inney for the, owner." This statement is made by D. W. Williams, livestock specialist of- the Extension 1 Service, in discussing profitable hog production in South Carolina. This means that the hog must go to the slaughter at eight to ten motnhs of 1 age, weighing two hundred pounds. 1 This Is not an unusual weight for hogs at eight mon'is. Recently one feeder averaged over two hundred on twelve head at five months. To make profits from hogs it is necessary to feed heavy at all times. A -starving process is a losing one in growing 1 hogs. The hog raiser's problem, therefore, is "How can I make the most hog, in the least time at the lowest cost?" Plenty of feed provided ahead of time is the solution. Pigs farrowed in Jan uary and February should be 'ready for the October and November mar kets. Start now and provide the feeds that will be needed this fall. We can not compete with the corn belt farmer ) raising hogs in a dry lot on corn and purchased supplementary feeds such as shorts and tankage. While these are always necessary to make the best I gains, we must use forage crops just as much as possible. With the wide use of forage crops cheaper pork can be produced in South Carolina than in ) the corn belt. 1 ' Be sure to plant some supplement ary feed crop with your corn. Cow peas, soy beans, and velvet beans all ) furnish good grazing for hogs. In I the fall let the hogs do the. harvest ing and you will find but very little wasted. Let the hogs you are going to market gather most of the feed; then when it gets so scarce that they must cover a great deal of ground in getting enough to eat, remove them ' and let sows and smaller pigs finish cleaning up the field. A small patch of sweet potatoes will furnish much succulent feed, which with a grain ration will make very satisfactory gains. Every farmer, whether or not he raise hogs, should have some alfalfa, It pays handsomely where it is grown. As a forage crop for hogs it is unexcelled. It is questionable whether it is ad visable to plant very many peanuts for hogs this fall, says Mr. Williams. While hogs make very cheap and rapid gains on this crop, the carcasses are greatly discriminated against on the market. Soft drippy pork is not desirable. Souith Carolina is now producing hogs that sell to better ad- T v " tage than those from other South Lrn States, because these hogs kill hard as a rule. It is to our advantage to cn tie mnrketing a superior prod net which sells wt'l tor-'-d the top of the market rather t!':in to goft - rep-Ii station for saft hrs and take a ct In price which is often thrde or four ents per pound. Hogs will be marketed this fal't in y narload lots from practically every -v -ounty. Aim to provide a few surplus iogs for these shiprents to help es- S ablish a hog ma rket in this state.
