SWINE IN AMERICA 



Records of feeding ground bone in comparison with 

 other rations at the Nebraska experiment station (Bulle- 

 tin No. 94 ) show the following results for five weeks' 

 feeding, beginning early in January, 1905, with corn 

 and shorts, each figured at 80 cents, and tankage and 

 ground bone each at $2 per 100 pounds. 



COMPARATIVE RESULTS FROM FEEDING GROUND BONE 



This was followed l)y tests to determine the relative 

 strength of bones as developed by the dififerent feeds. 

 Bones from hogs referred to in the foregoing table were 

 broken in a testing machine with the results as shown 

 on the next page. 



SUGAR FACTORY BY-PRODUCTS 



The principal feeding by-product of the beet sugar 

 factories is the beet pulp, fresh or dried. Pulp is the wet, 

 shredded mass remaining' after extracting the sweet 

 juices for sugar manufacture, and is frequently obtain- 

 able at the factories at a low price. Its use has in many 

 instances been highly satisfactory in feeding horses, cat- 

 tle and sheep, but tests of it for swine have not been 

 numerous.
