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 it will be most profitable
prevailing at 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
X shows a very high value In compari-
son with the others, Is less desirable,
since 1t is not paatable and will not
be eaten so readily.
