Telephone 17 Hogs Can Use Hay Says Specialist Hogs which are being maintained in dry lot can utilize legura# hays such as soybean, alfalfa and cowpea, especially when white corn is being fed, says L. V. Starkey, head of the animal husbandry division. Legume hays contain the fat-solubla vitamin which is lacking in whi^e corn. "Brood sows require bulk in their ration, and legume hay supplies it/' continues Mr. Starkey. "Fattening hogs do not require much bulk in their feed, so it is best to get the protein from some supplement such as fish meal or tankage. Soybeans and barley for summer and winter forage crops supply all of the bulk as well as the necessary vitamins, and these crops are much more satisfactory than hay. "Corn is the greatest hog feed in the western states but it is so frequently abused that some people have lost confidence in it. Corn alone should never be fed to hogs as it is low in protein and mineral. A good legume hay will help to correct these deficiencies." Indications are tnat hogs will be an important factor in Kershaw county's farm program before long. We can produce splendid crops of velvet beans and soybeans?why not raise hogs? Twenty 200 pound hogs would bring $100.00. One hundred hens would bring in $200 per year, Five good cows should bring in $30.00 per month for 12 months jH?r year or $360.00. The calves would be worth something and if the manure is saved ami applied to the crop land* the corn and cotton will Ik* more profitable than without manure. This sort of farming means less buying and more selling for the farmer and dollars in the bank. Make an effort to get an extra brood sow or two. Make a plenty of feed and good pastures, says Henry I). Green, County Agent fdr Kershaw county. The bank rate of the Bank of England was yesterday reduced from 5 1-2 to 5 per cent.
