Agriculturist W Z Spillman outlines a model 181 acre hog and corn farm owned by W H Rowe in Morgan County. The operation uses 12 acres for hogs, 8 acres for growing market pigs, clover pasture, bluegrass, and soy or clover hay, with detailed feed regimes and winter shelter. The system emphasizes high-energy management and precise division of fields, reflecting Spillman’s view that successful farms are created by energetic, intelligent operators.
Field notes describe shelter layouts for yearlings and sows, with two shelter houses C and D facing each other, a temporary shade shed, and A shaped snail houses. Yearlings, about 120 hogs at 200 pounds, are fed clover hay in spring and grain in winter, shifting to clover as pasture improves. Hogs are kept to 16 months before marketing, to maximize clover use and minimize expensive grain.
