. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN
i
; The Nebraska Experiment Sta-
i tion has just issued Bulletin No *
! 121. , entitled , "Growing ITg $ in
Nebraska. " Ttiis bulletin is di
vided into two parts.
Part 1 gives a summary of the
cost of growing young pigs to the
weight of 50 pounds. The items
of cost taken into consideration in
clude the cost of keeping the sow
for an entire year , charging for the
pasture and the grain eaten , both
by the sow and by the litter , up to
the time the litter reaches an av
erage weight of 50 pounds. On
this basis the cost is about § 18 to
§ 20 for keeping old sows , and § 20
to § 22 for gilts or sows farrowing
their first litter. This cost is part
ly repaid by the increase in weight
of yearling and two-year-old sows.
After deducting the value of the
growth of the sows , the net cost
to be charged against the pigs is
from § 9 to § 12 per litter when they
reach the 50-pound average weight.
The average number of pigs
farrowed in these experiments
was 9.8 pigs for old sows and 8
pigs for young sows. The average
number per litter at the close of
the experiment was 6 5 pigs for
old sows and 6 pigs for young
sows. In the test , 44 old sows
and 50 young sows were used.
The cost of feed charged up
against each pig at 50 pounds
weight was § 2.13 as the average
of all sows for two years. This
makes the cost of producing pigs
up to 50 pounds4.26 per hundred ,
whjch is somewhat higher than the
cost of gains after that weight ,
provided the pigs are economically
fed and sold when they reach
about 225 pounds net weight.
To reduce the cost to the figures
given in this bulletin , the yearling
and older sows were kept upon
pasture alone during the pasture
season after weaning their litters
and upon rations of about one-half
alfalfa hay and one-half grain du
ring the winter season. In win
ter , for each 100 pounds weight of
the mature sows , one -and one-
half pounds of grain was fed daily ;
that is , if ten sows weigh 3,000
pounds they would require 45
pounds of grain daily with an
efyual amount of alfalfa hay fed
either in racks or cut and mixed
with the grain. Upou these ra -
tions the sows gained 112 pounds
each during the winter season up
to farrowing time.
The gilts required liberal feed
ing during the summer on pasture
and during the winter following.
From 2.5 to 3 pounds of grain
generally corn , was fed for each
100 pounds live weight of the pigs
while they were on pasture ; that
is , 10 pigs weighing 1,000 pounds
received from 25 to 30 pounds of
grain daily. Ten pigs wei ghing
1,500 pounds received from 38 to
45 pounds daily.
After these gilts were placed
in winter quarters they were giv
en the run of a field of rye and
were fed a ration of one-quarter
chopped alfalfa and three-quarters
grain consisting of barley and corn
ground and mixed with the alfalfa.
Of this ration they were fed three
pounds daily for each 100 pounds
live weight , which ration had to be
decreased in some cases because
the pigs were becoming too fat.
Upon this ration they gained , du
ring the winter season , November
1 to March 1 , about 150 pounds
each , weighing over 300 pounds at
farrowing -time and about 260
pounds when their litters were
weaned.
Part II deals with the cost of
growing pigs from weaning time ,
or about 50 pounds weight , to the
time they are taken from alfalfa
pastures and put into the feed lot.
Seven hundred and ninety-two
pigs are included in these tests ,
which cover several years' work.
In general , these pigs were fed
less than a full ration , most of
them receiving two pounds to 2.5
pounds of grain daily for each 100
pounds live weight. The average
cost of the grain and pasture in
.growing these pigs was § 3.30 per
100 pounds. It will be seen that
this cost , is lower than t1 e
cost of producing the 50 pound
pig , and it is also lower than the
HAS MO Sl/iSTIWTE
The only

cost of finishing the pig for mar
ket after he is placed in winter
quarters. According to figures
which will be presented in a sub
sequent bulletin , the cost of feeds
per 100 pounds of gain with pigs
in dry lots is § 3.57 per hundred ,
figured upon the same cost for
feed as that used in Bulletin 121.
E. A. Burnett , Director.
In spite of the fact that state san
atoria and hospitals for tuberculosis
have been established in 31 state ? ,
and 114 municipal or county hos
pitals in 20 states , vastly more pub
lic provision is needed to stamp out
consumption , says the National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis in a bulletin
issue. ! to-day.
Every state East of the Missis
sippi Kiver except Vermont , South
Carolina , Kentucky , Tennessee , Flor
ida , Mississippi , and Illinois have
provided state sanatoria. In Ver
mont , a private sanatorium is par
tially used as a stale institution ,
and in Florida , an indefinite pro
vision for such a hospital has been
made. The states west of the Mis
sissippi Eiver which' have establish
ed state sanatoria are , Minnesota ,
Iowa , Missouri , Arkansa0 , Texas ,
Kansas , Nebraska , North Dakota ,
South Dakota , Montana , and Ore
gon. There an ? 89 sanatoria pro
vided by these states , Connecticut
having three , Massachusetts four ,
Pennsylvania three , and Texas two
New York state leads in municip
al and county hospitals for tuber
culosis , having 8i , while Ohio , the
second on the list has 17 , and Mass
achusetts "the third , has 9. In these
twenty-six states , which are the on
ly ones having any' municipal or
county care for tuberculosis , there
are 114 hospitals , including special
pavilions and almhouses. Eardly
more than one-tenth of the cities of
30,000 population and over , make ,
any local provision for tuberculosis
cases , and not one-twentieth of the
less populous districts make such
provision.
In addition to the state , munici
pal , and county hospitals , the fed
eral government provides for certain
selected classes in the United States
Aimy Hospital at Fort Bayard , N.
Mex. , the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
Sanatorium at Ft. StantonN. Mex. ,
the United States Navy Hospital at
Las Animas , Colo. , and in five spe
cial hospitals for Indians on differ
ent reservations in the West.
Apart from these institutions , and
a few special pavilions at prisons ,
hospitals for the insane , and some
other public institutions , a gran 1
total of hardly 200 , the institution
al care of the consumptive is left to
private philanthropy. With 200,000
deaths from consumption every
year , and more than that number of
living cases , too poor to pay for
their care in private institutions ,
the National Association says that
unless the cities , counties and states
realize their duty and provide ade
quate local hospital accommoda
tions for these consumptives , the
disease can never be stamped out.
