CORN OIL CAKE MEAL FOR PIGS 
139 
The hominy feed which we used is that by-product from the 
corn meal mills ; after the corn meal is removed for human con- 
sumption there remains the bran of the kernel, the germ (from 
which the oil has not been extracted), and the whiter, starchier 
portions. In reality the hard, flinty portion of the kernel has been 
removed and this has been milled into corn meal for human con- 
sumption ; all of the rest of the kernel, therefore, goes back to the 
farm for live stock feed in Hominy Feed Sacks. 
It will thus be noticed that in this particular product, hominy 
feed, there is really a concentration of germs due to the fact that 
the flinty portion of the kernel has been removed. We would 
hardly expect, therefore, to have as good results from the addi- 
tion of corn oil cake meal to a hominy ration fed in conjunction 
with tankage as we would by adding the same feed to a corn tank- 
age ration, providing, of course, the ingredients of the embryos 
or germs themselves were advisable or necessary in such combina- 
tion. 
Table I given herewith gives the agerage initial weight per pig, 
final weights (these at approximately 203 days), average daily 
gain, average daily feed, and feed required for a hundred pounds

Before discussing this table which takes all groups of the pigs 
to the same date (Oct. 17, 1917 — 124 days feeding) it is well to
