180 RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SWINE FEEDING 
$18.40 worth of pork at $6.25 per 100 pounds, Peanuts 
and corn combined produced much more rapid gains than 
peanuts alone. The quality of pork produced by peanuts was 
much inferior to that produced by corn.” 
Peanuts contain a high percentage of protein, and this 
fact renders them suitable for feeding with corn, which is 
deficient in protein. Peanuts also contain a high percentage of 
oil, which probably accounts for their injurious effect upon 
the quality of the mcat. It would seem, therefore, that peanuts 
are most suitable for young, growing hogs, but that they should 
not be fed to hogs during the finishing period. 
Rough Red Rice.—The Texas Experiment Station (Bul- 
Ietin 135) fed rough red rice with cottonseed meal, and with 
alfalfa meal, as compared with corn chop fed in a similar 
manner. The conclusion drawn by the author is that ground 
rice is about equal to corn chop when fed with cottonseed meal, 
and better than corn chop when fed with alfalfa meal for pork 
production; and that ground rough red rice is an economical 
ration for fattening hogs. 
Rice By-products.—Rice hulls are very woody, and are of 
very little use for any animals, but are especially objectionable 
for swine. Rice bran and rice polish have considerable feed- 
ing value, but, since any feed made up from rice by-products 
is apt to contain a considerable proportion of hull, feeders are 
inclined to look upon these feeds with suspicion. The South 
Carolina Experiment Station compared rice meal and skim- 
milk with corn meal and skim-milk for pigs, and obtained 
results slightly in favor of rice meal. The rice meal is stated 
to consist largely of rice flour, rice polish, and rice bran. At 
the Massachusetts Experiment Station, rice meal and milk 
proved practically equal to corn meal and milk for pigs.
