MoLASSES IN THE HOG FEED
Professor Of Animal Husbandry OF
Texas Agricultural College Tells
Of EattenInQ,

John c. Burns, professor OF AMI
NAL husbandry of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college Of Texas says
that with tankage to supplement a
grain ration, cottonseed meal or
wheat bran are not really needed In
the fattening of hogs.
He believes, however, hat 1t would
prove profitable to add q limited
quantity of molasses to the ration,
both as an appetizer and TO cheaper
the feed, as molasses at Is cents the
gallon Is cheaper than grain at pre-
yailing prices. He recommends the fol
lowing proportions as a well-bal-
anced fattening ration: Nine pounds
of ear corn or seven pounds Of shelled
corn, two pounds black strap m~olasses
and a pound Of tankage.
The grain should be soaked In wa.
ter about twelve hours, and the molas-
ses should be diluted with about its
own volume OF water, and the tank
axe thoroughly stirred in and poured
over the grain in the trough at the
time Of feeding.
