VARIOUS GRAINS, MEALS, AND BY-PRODUCTS 175 
In the table given above the coh has been deducted from 
the figures for corn-and-cob meal, so that the actual corn is 
compared in all cases. 
It cost 6 cents per bushel to grind the eorn-and-cob meal, 
and 2 cents per bushel to grind corn meal. The results of the 
test were regarded as so conclusive against corn-and-cob meal 
that no further tests were made. 
The Missouri Experiment Station also gives a decidedly 
adverse report upon feeding corn-and-cob meal to hogs, but 
Kansas and New Hampshire report in its favor. 
Gluten Meal.—The Central Experimental Farm, Canada, 
reports unfavorably upon gluten meal as a feed for swine. 
J. H. Grisdale says regarding it: “Gluten has been fed in 
limited quantities, but has not proven very satisfactory for 
either bacon production, young pigs, or breeding stock. It 
seems to be rather unpalatable, and produces soft bacon.” 
The Cornell Station also gives an unfavorable report of this 
feed as compared with corn when both feeds were fed with 
skim-milk, 
Linseed Meal (Oil Meal).—Linseed meal has been already 
referred to under supplementary feeds with corn. It is seldom 
advisable to feed linseed meal to a greater extent than one-fifth 
of the total meal ration, and, as a rule, half this quantity will 
be found more economical. It is highly recommended by 
some as a feed for nursing sows, and for young pigs after 
weaning. The writer has had only fair success in its use as a 
substitute for skim-milk with young pigs. 
In experiments with substitutes for skim-milk for young 
pigs, the Central Experimental Farm, Cangda, obtained an 
average daily gain of six-tenths of a pound per pig with a 
mixture consisting of four parts wheat middlings and one part 
linseed meal. It required 280 pounds of the mixture for 100
