wETTING AND COOKING MEAL.
A swine feeder says: II find thas
take ten bushels of meal and wet HI
old water and feed TWENTY-FIVE ID
With it, they eat it well; but, II It'll
he same quantity and cook it, it Doll
es the bulk and will take the samenr|
Der OF hogs twice as long to eat it, sal
hlnk they fatten twice as fast in u
anne length OF time" Prof. Stewart
commenting on this says he took tl
OTIS of three pigs each from the aa
liter, weighing 225 pounds each lot u
had cornmeal soaked twelve hour i
old water. Lot 2 had cornmeal cooia
Zach had all they would eat, and ed
lad a cook OF early cut clover every d.
,ot l consumed 2,1ll pounds Of med
nd gained 500 pounds, or liO pount
ach. Lot 2 gained 600 pounds, aa
ounds each. Or, figuring it anok
ray, he got eleven pounds Of pork imI
ushel of meal soaked in cold wsx
nd l8.47 pounds for bushel vhs
ooked, a gain of nearly 51 poundit
he bushel, getting half as much ssn
Or his corn by cooking it. Prof. SHt
rt further says that "by good managF
lent the general feeder may reach VIII
NV corn eight pounds, with raw ma
IN pounds, and with boiled corn tvdH
ounds, and with boiled meal iltea
ounds OF live pork per bushel."
