particular there is none better. The writer doubts 

 whether any large use can be made of the grains for 

 feeding pigs. When we remember that practically all 

 of the starch has been taken out of the grain and that 

 there is left the husk and cellular parts, together with 

 most of the protein, we will see that such material is 

 hardly suited for utilization in any large measure by the 

 digestive apparatus of the pig. No doubt some of the 

 grain can be used as 'filling,' the same as bran might be." 

 In case it is deemed best to utilize material of this 

 kind care should be taken to prevent souring either of 

 the feed itself or of drippings through or under floors 

 or elsewhere.
