sults were secured from feeding corn silage. 
It is cheap, the ewes like it, and they can 
easily be kept in a healthy condition when it 
forms part of the ration. The only danger 
lies in the fact that it may contain too much 
corn for breeding ewes.” At the Michigan and 
Cornell University stations silage has also been 
fed with success.. There is plenty of good evi- 
dence in the agricultural press of the past ten 
years demonstrating that corn silage is a 
valuable succulent food for sheep. 
Swine.— Being the cheapest food available to 
the corn-grower in the West, most of the hogs 
shipped into the market have been raised and 
fattened on corn as the only grain food. In the 
past, however, pigs have been fed corn too ex- 
clusively. Numerous experiments have shown 
that better results are secured where some 
other grain is fed, using corn, however, as the 
principal food. Prof. Henry at the Wisconsin 
experiment station has probably conducted the 
most extensive feeding experiments on swine 
extant. His work emphasizes the importance 
of using other foods in connection with corn. 
Brood sows should be fed hghtly of this and 
mainly with bran, shorts or some such food, be- 
fore and at farrowing time, to get the best 
results. Pigs fed corn exclusively lack the

that is possessed by those that receive in con-
