In this test molasses proved lower in value than corn. Molas- 
ses is poor in protein, and would likely have given better results 
if fed with a feed richer in protein than corn. 
Sorghum Seed.—In a test at the Nebraska Experiment Sta- 
tion, one bushel of corn proved equal to nearly one and one-half 
bushels of sorghum seed for feeding hogs. Chemical analysis 
would indicate a lower feeding value for sorghum seed than for 
corn, but not such a wide difference as the Nebraska experiment 
shows. We would not expect such a wide difference in every 
case where these feeds are compared. 
Cow-peas (Seed).—The Alabama Station fed cow-peas aione 
and in combination with corn against corn alone. The amount 
of meal for 100 pounds gain in weight in two tests was as 
follows:

Corn and cow-peas, equal parts ........ 433 pounds. 
Cow-peas alone ............... eee eee 481 pounds. 
2nd Test: ‘Corn: alone: is cadsrraw nin ces nea aes 478 pounds. 
Corn and cow-peas, equal parts ........ 395 pounds. 
At the South Carolina Station, corn fed alone required 602 
pounds of meal for 100 pounds gain in weight, while cow-peas 
required 491 pounds. 
From these tests we learn that cow-peas have a higher feeding 
value than corn, but they show to greatest advantage when com- 
bined with corn. As a supplementary feed with corn, cow-peas 
apparently have a high value. 
Spanish Peanuts.—The Texas Experiment Station com- 
pared Spanish peanuts with corn, feeding the peanuts alone 
and in combination with corn. The results are summarized as 
follows: “Spanish peanuts fed alone yielded a larger gain 
than corn fed alone. The results indicated that an acre of 
peanuts of a yield of forty bushels would produce approximately
