PASTURE AND GRAIN CROPS FOR HOGS. 9 winter use the bearded varieties are allowed to stand in the field untilthe fall rains have set in well. This usually gives plenty of timeafter harvest for the hogs to glean the stubble field. Blue barley, abearded variety, is generally sown for late fall and winter use. Whenallowed to stand in the field it does not shatter and sprout nearly soeasily as wheat or the so-called winter varieties of barley. On a farm in Umatilla County, Oreg., during November, 1910, 80hogs were pastured 18 days and 98 hogs 10 days on acres of bar-ley on a steep hillside. The gam in weight averaged 230 pounds peracre, having a value of $ per acre. The estimated yield of. Fig. 4.âA hillside on the farm of W. H. Steen, Umatilla County, Oreg., too steep for the use of a binder,but satisfactorily harvested by hogs. The shotes in the picture are gleaning the barley after the fatteninghogs have taken the greater part of the feed. barley was 21 bushels per acre. Figure 4 shows the hillside withshotes gleaning the barley after the fattening hogs have taken offpractically all the feed. DETERMINING THE AREA TO BE HOGGED OFF. In order to reduce the waste to a minimum, the area of each crophogged off must be thoroughly cleaned up. Owing to the variationin crop yields and the quantity of grain that hogs of different sizeswill consume, it is not always easy to determine the acreage of eachcrop to be used in this way. Suppose a portion of the main winter-wheat crop is to be fenced and hogged off from the time the grain isjust past the stiff-dough stage, say July 10, until the stubble field isopen, August 15
