The Tennessee experiment station
has just completed hog feeding test
which demonstrates the Importance of
making good use of the by-products
of the farm. One lot was fed water
and corn meal alone for a period of
| sixty days. During the first half of
the feeding period each hog received
four pounds of meal per day and six
pounds in the second half, from which
| it made sixty-two pounds gain, or
practically one pound per day. The
pound in this case was made at cost
of 3.9 cents
Each hog in two received twelve
pounds of skim milk and four pounds
of corn per day during the first thirty
days and tWenty-seven pounds of skim
milk, together with five pounds of corn,
in the second half. From this the
gain was 1873 pounds per head during
the sixty days, or daily gain of 23
pounds per head, made at cost of AZ
cents per pound. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that the cost per
pound in the latter case was reckoned
on the basis of skim milk being worth
twenty-five cents per hundred pounds.
The item of greatest Importance is
| that while 4.6 pounds of corn alone
were required to make pound of
pork it only required 81 pounds of
corn, together with 11.2 pounds of
milk, to make one pound of grain. Con
sidering corn to be worth rs cents
per bushel, skim milk had a value of
1873 cents per hundred pounds. Not
only were the gains made much more
rapidly when the skim milk was fed
but the slaughter contest revealed the
fact that these had the most useful
carcass, dressing 1876 per cent, com
pared with 1876 per cent, as was the
case in those fed corn alone.-Hoard S
Dairyman.
