FEEDING BV-l'RODUCTS 2>7ci 



the milk the cost per pound of gain was less than where 

 gluten meal was used. The actual amount of dry matter 

 consumed per pound of gain was less where corn meal 

 was fed than where gluten meal was fed. These re- 

 sults, secured when corn meal was worth $14 per ton and 

 gluten meal only $11.75 P^^" ton, point very strongly 

 to the conclusion that in feeding large quantities of 

 separator skim milk to young, growing pigs, more eco- 

 nomical gains can be made by using as a grain ration 

 corn meal rather than gluten meal." Further experi- 

 ments at the Cornell station (Bulletin No. 220) showed 

 better results from corn meal and gluten feed mixed 

 than from clear corn meal, both with skim milk. 



Corn and gluten meal, as compared with wheat meal, 

 entered into experiments with two lots of six pigs each 

 at the same station (Report of 1894) in which, to make 

 100 pounds of gain. 292 pounds of wheat meal and 682 

 pounds of skim milk were required as against zyz pounds 

 of corn meal and gluten meal with 621 pounds of skim 

 milk. This would give the latter combination an ad- 

 \-antage of a little more than 6 per cent over the wheat 

 meal. 



Experiments there have not led to gluten meal's having 

 great favor in Canada, the judgment being that "it seems 

 rather unpalatable and produces soft bacon" (Bulletin 

 No. 51, Central experimental farm, Ottawa).

Hominy meal and hominy chops have been utilized to 

 good advantage, but most feeds of this character have
