SUPPLEMENTARY FEEDS WITH CORN 161 
Corn was valued at $18.00 per ton, tankage at $40.00 per 
ton, and old process linseed meal at $30.00 per ton, 
In two tests Linseed meal proved slightly more economical 
than tankage. and in the other two tankage had a fairly marked 
advantage. 
The averages of the four tests show the feed requirements 
and cost of 100 pounds of gain to be as follows: 
Corn meal and tankage: 370 Ibs. corn, 24.5 lbs. tankage, costing $3.82. 
Corn meal and linseed meal: 363.6 lbs. corn, 46.2 lbs. linseed meal, 
costing $3.96. 
Conclusions.—It is noted in the summary that hogs fed 
on a ration of corn meal and tankage consume more feed and 
make more rapid gains than hogs fed a ration of corn meal and 
linseed meal. 
Also, that a ration of corn meal and tankage gives a better 
finish than one of corn meal and linseed meal. 
Soy-Bean Meal vs. Linseed Meal.—Indiana also reports 
two tests comparing soy-bean meal with linseed meal as sup- 
plements to corn. 
In the first test, 5 parts of corn meal were fed with 1 part 
of linseed meal or soy-bean meal. In the second test, 8 parts of 
corn meal were fed with 1 part of linseed meal, and 7 parts of 
corn meal with 1 part of soy-bean meal. 
Linseed meal and ‘soy-bean meal are both valued at $30.00 
per ton, and corn meal at $18.00 per ton. 
On an average of the results of the two trials, it required 
for 100 pounds of gain: 
Corn meal and linseed meal, 378 pounds, costing $3.71. 
Corn meal and soy-bean meal, 360 pounds, costing $3.55. 
The percentage of protein in linseed meal and soy-bean meal 
is very similar, and, though ‘soy-bean meal showed an advantage
