30S.3 pounds of cereal grains for 100
pounds gain, with soy bean meal as
supplement. 100 pounds of the bean
meal replaced 300 pounds Of the grain.
Translated still further, this means
that when fed as supplements, 1916
pounds of tankage replaced 100 pounds
of grain; % pounds of middlings re-
placed 100 pounds Of grain; 3S.2
pounds of oil meal replaced 100 pounds
of grain; 1873 pounds of soy bean meal
replaced 100 pounds of grain and that
1918 pounds of skim milk replaced
100 pounds of grain.

placement value of skim milk when
used as a supplement to corn and
other cereal grains, pound Of
tankage Is equivalent to o pounds
Of skim milk; pound of middlings is
equivalent to 81 pounds of skim milk
and ! pound Of oil meal is equivalent
to 9.3 pounds of skim milk.

Reference to this table, which shows
the relative values of the different nj
trOgenOus supplements commonly
used with farm-grown grains, should
enable the feeder TO decide which Of
these feeds II will be most profitable
to employ as supplement at prices
prevailing Mt any time.
Skim milk, tankage and middlings
are commonly used and are very pal
atable to the pig in combination with
grain feeds. Oil meal, however, while
It shows very high value in COMPARE
son with the others, is less desirable,
since 1t is not palatable and will not
be eaten so readily.
