Corn for Fattening Purposes.

Corn is used, perhaps, more generally
than any other grain for fattening pur.
poses. OF flesh formers it contains
about 10 Fer cent, warmth giving and
fat producing constituents IS per cent,
and of bone substances i per cent. Ii
may be noted that it is not well ball
anced food, as it is rich in fat, contain
ing oyer per cent, of this alone, even
for fattening purposes. and especially
should this be observed when it is de.
sired to produce eggs. 1t is claimed
that the fat from fowls fed with ye!-
low corn Is of d yellowIsh color, and
hence is objected to. In cold weather
il may be fed with advantage, but not
in summer, as various disorders, caused
by internal deposits Of fat, are very apt
to result. 1t is good food. and its
cheapness is largely in it's faver but il
must be fed in combination with others
less rich in fat and warmth giving
properties to be used without danger
and TO give the test results.
