Pork Production 



In both experiments the grain fed in each lot was supple- 

 mented by 30 per cent shorts and 5 to 8 per cent tank- 

 age. In all cases, also, the grains were reduced to a meal. 



In both experiments the corn ration produced the most 

 rapid gains, with the least total feed consumed for a unit 

 of gain. But the excellent showing of the other grains 

 should furnish much encouragement to the hog-raiser 

 who cannot grow corn successfully, but does produce 

 these other crops in quantity. 



On the average, the results showed milo and kafir to 

 be practically equal in feeding value, both grains being 

 considerably superior to either kaoliang or feterita. In 

 the first experiment sorghum produced as rapid gains as 

 milo, but with the latter more feed was required for a 

 unit of gain. 



In an experiment at the Nebraska Experiment Station, 

 Snyder and Burnett l compared rations of corn and cane, 

 with a combination of both, fed in each case with 10 per 

 cent chopped alfalfa hay. 



TABLE CXXXIX. SORGHUM VERSUS SORGHUM AND CORN 



The combination of cane and corn gave very much 

 better results than cane alone.
