174 RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SWINE FEEDING 
Four tests were also made with hominy feed and tankage 
compared with corn meal and tankage, mixed in the proportion 
of 20 parts hominy feed or corn meal to 1 part of tankage. 
The average of the four tests shows the following: 
Hominy feed Corn meal 
and tankage. and tankage. 
Average daily gain per head.......... 1.4 pounds 1.2 pounds 
Meal consumed per 100 pounds gain.... 372 pounds 451 pounds 
The results are summarized as follows: 
‘‘Hominy feed produces more rapid growth on hogs than 
does corn meal.” 
“ Hominy feed produces gains on less grain than does corn 
meal.” 
“ As a general rule the high cost of hominy feed hinders 
its more general use as a hog feed, and prevents its economical 
substitution for corn, except when the latter is very high in 
price.” 
It is also pointed out that hominy feed, like corn, should 
be supplemented by some feed high in protein, such as tankage 
and skim-milk, 
Corn-and-Cob Meal.—The Iowa Experiment Station re- 
ports a test of corn-and-cob meal both dry and soaked, and a 
summary of the results is given below. The test lasted 140 
days.
