greatest profit.
At least one-fourth of a full grain
ration, or one pound to every 100
pounds of live weight, should he CIV
en- each day. When fed to pigs and
you rhogs, the grain feed should be
such as will furnish material for
bone and-muscle, and nit such as will
produce an excess fat. Theer should
of course, be a gradual change from
the heterogeneous, muscle-maklng
foods given the pig to fat-making
foods.
We cannot afford to get reputa
ton TO rproducing an unsatisfactory
cercass such as is produced by grass
es, cowpeas, soy beans and peanuts
This, however. can he easily avoided
by feeding some grain while on pas
ture and by feeding a full grain ra-
ton for about three weeks before
or marketing.
The Mississippi Delta Station made
three tests in which self-feeding was
compared with hand-feeding. In
test No L there were three-months
old pigs in each lot. Lot No. was
fed twice each day for go days on q
ration Of corn and tankage, balanced
according to a feeding standard. Lot
No. ate corn and tankage from sep
arate compartments of the self-feed-
er. In test No. 2 younger pigs were
used and the duration was only Is
days. In test No. cottonseed meal
was substituted for tankage and the
duration was only so days. The
following is summary Of the result
obtained:
"In all three tests the settled lots
made better gains and consumed less
feed than the handled lots. Even
when the cost of care is not c0nsid-
cred, the profit per pig of the self
fed lot was greater than the profit
per pig of the handled lot; in the
first test, $3.50 greater; in the Sec
ond, $2.O7 greater; and in the third,
|$1.1O greater. When the cost of
care is included, the difference in
favor of self-feeding is even greater;
in the first case, $3.43; in the Sec
ond, $3.50; and third, $1.48.
In the first test the difference in
cost of 100 pound gain was STA in
favor of the settled lot; in the Sec
ond test, 1927; in the third. SIC.

that it saves five-sixths the time re-
quired by the old method Of feeding
two or more times day in trough.
ut is desirable in that 1t insures
better and cheaper gains.
cit is desirable in that when kept
