there Is no reason FOR Withholding it from
any animal needing food. At the same time.
IL Is shown that corn alone is not nearly so
good or so profitable feed corn supple
mentcd by some proteid food, such as tank
age linseed ollmeal or SOY beans
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the animal
becomes very fat and chubby and does not
develop properly; the bones are brittle and
easily broken
SiXty-hve hogs were used In this expert
ment and they were divided into lots OF five
each Twelve different rations were used
with corn alone in two OF them and corn
supplemented with some other feed in the
others.
The hogs fed on corn and inseed oilmoal
and those fed corn and tankage gained
the most. those receiving corn alone were
most unsatisfactory.
