TANKAGE FOR HOGS.
Fed With Discretion, 1t Is Profitable
Pork Producer.

Fed With Discretion, 1t Is Profitable
Pork Producer.
A great many farmers are beginning
to use tankage. l find it beneficial and
IN a large degree profitable where hogs
are kept, writes Il. W. SwOpe in TIE
American Agricuturist. There isn't
anything about good tankage or meat
meal that is in any way injurious to
hogs. whether young or old. Good
takage contains over so per cent pro-
tein, and for that reason it answers an
important question in animal economy.
1t is good feed to use with corn and
highly palatable. 1t need not be fed
in large quantities. and. especially
when beginning to feed tankage, one
part tankage to about ten parts of corn
is a very satisfactory ration.
Tankage is animal matter from
which the grease and oil have been ex-
tracted. This consists of meat scraps
and bone from meat markets and pack
ing houses picked up fresh in a large
tank and thoroughly cooked at high
temperature. The grease is removed
from the surface and tankage is then
dried thoroughly. after which it is
ground, screened and placed in bags
for shipment. The high temperature
employed in cooking destroys all dis
ease germs that might be present.
Tankage, therefore. all summed up is a
pure. safe feed for hogs. 1t contains
to 10 per cent moisture. and in a
good, dry place it can be kept for an
indefinite period of time.
have fed tankage to hogs of all
ages for several years now and with
excellent results in every case. With
the high cost of feed a little tankage
FED with the regular ration to the
hogs each day will be found a good
feed investment. The cost of feeding
tankage seems to increase trifle ev-
cry year. but am sure it will pay all
who can use it to do SO as long as the
price is as reasonable as it is today,
considering its protein contents com.
pared with other feeds.
Tankage may be fed dry, either alone
or with grain rations. I have found
it very satisfactory in a thin slop.
One station says that ration made
up Of one pa1 tankage and six or
eight parts 2Crn has proved to be the

THE MIDDlEMAN's SHARE,

The year Just closing is accounted
the most successful Of hus bandry III
the United States. The total value o.
farm products is put by the govern
ment bureau at ten million dol.ai $,
two-thirds in crops and one-third III
animals raised on the farms. In spite
Ci this, however, the department OF ag
riculture holds the view that the cos
OF living VIII net be IN any measure
reduced, nor will the producer beneit
very greatly by the increase of values.
fhe situation is thus summarized:
However desirable increased produc-
ton on farms may appear to be from
the consumers standpoint, 1t does not
fellow that such increased production
will result in any increase in the cash
income per farm or per CAPITA Of farm
population, or that prices paid by con
sumers VIII be any lower. says the re
port. Had the total production in 1918
equalled or exceeded the 1912 produc-
tlon, it seems probable tnat the casa
income per farm would not have been
less than in 1872. but 1t Is extremely
doubtful whether the cost to the con
sumner would have been less, because
retail prices are raised promptly on q
prospect Of under-produchon. but are
SLOW to decline ii there Is over pro
auction.
The middleman is held to RESPONSE
bility for the conditions, and the only
hope OF relies held out TO the consumer
and the producer alike Is by a more
scientific marketing. But while the
middleman may be responsible, the
mere statement or even acceptance of
that fact is not going to bring about n
change, 1t remains to determine why
the middleman has been able to get
such a grip upon the situation as he
has whereby the profits of the pro
Queer and the substance Of the con
sumer are alike poured into his hands
