Harden Pork by
Proper Feeding
Animals Fed Peanuts or
Other Oily Material Do
Not Tend to Softness.

After five years Of work, the animal
industry department at North Caro-
lima State college feels that 1t Is now
in position to say that pigs fed pea
nuts or other oily feeds may be hard
ened so that the carcasses will grade
hard.
Hardened for Market.
In the report Of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, the live stock work.
ers show that in three separate trials
during the last two years pigs weigh
ing 125 pounds and SO pounds each,
fed 255 pounds and 2O6 pounds of pea
nuts for Sc days, have been killed out
hard at a marketable weight.
These pigs, comprising total Of 10
In the tests, made average gains Of Is
and Y pounds each on peanuts. The
peanuts were then followed by the
proper amount Of hardening feeds.
The pigs then killed hard. The work.
ers state that for each pound Of pea
nut oil consumed in the peanuts fed,
1t Is necessary to give two and a quar-
ter pounds Of hardening feed to make
the hog kill out hard.
1t was also found that when harden
ing feeds are given following the soft
ening feeds, harder bodies were pro-
duced than when the hardening feeds
were fed in equal amounts, and at
the same time that the peanuts were
given. This is explained partially by
the more rapid laying on of fat after
the hog reaches 100 to $50 pounds in
weight Growth has then decreased
and the more rapid depositing Of fat
begun.
Influence Of Size.
The workers found also that the
size of the hog when killed Influenced
the hardness of the body. A tendency
to softness occurred in those hogs
killed at $50 pounds or below, even
when fed under the most favorable
conditions and with the best feeds.
In the tests made, brewers rice,
which is rich in starch, was used as
the hardening feed.
According to the animal industry
workers, it Is felt that the funda-
mentals in soft pork research have
now been solved.

Keep Poultry Feed Bill
at a Reasonable Level

The food buyer who knows the
makeup Of all kinds of feeding stuff
can save many dollars by taking adj
vantage Of every chance the market
affords. The price Of a food Is often
no guide to its value. Poor crops
often make certain grains advance in
price out of all proportion to other
grains and mill products. On the
other hand a food which Is very plen-
tiful for the time, or refuse food too
little known to meet with ready sale
may be bought at great bargain. By
comparing the nutrients the feeder
will get a very fair idea of relative
food values. The per cents of protein.
carbohydrates and fats are Of course
Of main Importance. The potential
energy or fuel value is also a good
general Indicator Of the nutriment pres.
ent. Refuse or second-class products
suitable for poultry can be bought
very cheap in large cities, and the
poultryman who knows the values Of
these substances can keep his feed bill
at a reasonable level even when stand.
ard grain feeds are scarce and high.
