178 RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SWINE FEEDING 
but constant in composition. The same remarks apply to all by- 
products of oatmeal mills, under whatever name sold. 
Brewers’ and Distillers’ Grains.—Grisdale, of the Central 
Experimental Farm, reports economical gains from “ spirit 
grains” when fed in combination with a meal ration. Gen- 
erally speaking, these products are rather bulky and fibrous 
for swine, unless used in a limited quantity as a supplement 
to a grain ration, in much the same way as alfalfa hay or 
roots. 
Sugar-Beet Pulp.—In the wet state this product may be 
regarded as similar in feeding value to roots, and may be em- 
ployed in exactly the same way. The dried pulp is hardly a 
satisfactory feed for swine. 
Beet-Sugar Molasses.—Beet molasses is unpalatable and 
generally unsatisfactory for swine. Bulletin 199 of the Cornell 
Experiment Station reports apparent poisoning of hogs fed 
beet molasses; and Utah (Bulletin 101) reports scouring, and 
bad-flavored pork. 
Black-Strap Molasses.—Texas Bulletin 131 reports a test 
with ground corn compared with ground corn and black-strap 
molasses. Three groups of hogs were used. Lot 1 was fed 
equal weights of ground corn and molasses. Lot 2 was fed 
two parts ground corn to one part of molasses by weight. Lot 3 
was fed ground corn alone. There were eight hogs in each 
lot, and the test lasted 91 days. The average weight of the 
hogs at the commencement of the test. was approximately 120 
pounds each. Ground corn was valued at $28.20 per ton, and 
molasses at $16.66 per ton. 
The average daily gains per hog and cost of gain were:
