perience : "Some years ago frozen wheat was available 

 in considerable quantities and was quite extensively used 

 as feed. It was found to be very valuable for bacon pro- 

 duction. The meat was of good quality and was pro- 

 duced at the rate of one pound, live weight, from four 

 and one-half to five and one-half pounds of the frozen 

 wheat." The details of the experiments are tabulated in 

 Bulletin No. t,^ of the Central experimental farm. 



The North Dakota station (Bulletin 84) found that in 

 comparison with corn it requires 8.9 per cent more "re- 

 jected" wheat than corn to produce the same gains. 



Damaged grain may often have but little market value, 

 thereby offering the swine-feeder a serviceable feed at a 

 low price ; but local conditions will have much to do 

 with determining whether or not it is advisable to utilize 

 material of this sort. 



FLOUR AS A FEED 



Low-grade flour may sometimes be available for feed- 

 ing, although, as a rule, inferior grades of by-products 

 will be obtainable at comparatively lower prices. Pro- 

 fessor Henry shows, in "Feeds and Feeding," that the 

 nutrients in low-grade flour vary but little from those in 

 flour of higher grade. This low grade of flour is occa- 

 sionally designated as "feeding flour," "red dog," and by 

 other special names. 



The Virginia experiment station (Bulletin No. 167) 

 reports profitable results from feeding red dog with corn 

 meal. The method of feeding is described as follows : 

 "In the test where red dog, which is a low-grade flour 

 relatively rich in protein, was combined with an e(]^ual
