Feed Corn, But
Not Corn Only

It is frequently stated that
corn is not a good feed for a
brood SOW, or for young animals,
but there is no better feed than
corn for any farm animal for
supplying a part of the ration.
1t is high-priced in the South,
and it does not supply all the
materials which breeding animals
and young growing stock need;
but it is a most excellent feed
and should be a part Of the
ration for most farm animals if
produced as it should and can be
in the South. 1t will be difficult
to find a better feed than corn
and peanuts, corn and soy beans,
corn and velvet beans, or corn
and tankage, when the legumes
are not available, for the brood
sow.-Tait Butler, in The Pro-
gressive Farmer.
