CORN OIL CAKE MEAL FOR PIGS 
145 
less than half as much protein as the Corn Oil Cake Meal. Less 
tankage is required to balance Hominy Feed than corn for pigs, 
about 2/3 as much being required. This tankage saving virtue is 
presumably due to the small proportion of corn germs in this feed, 
about two to three times as much as in corn. But a sack of Corn 
Oil Cake Meal carries the germs (from which much of the oil has 
been mechanically pressed) of practically 50 bushels of corn or 
2800 pounds. Corn Oil Cake Meal is at least twenty-five times 
as rich in corn vitamines and corn proteins as is good hominy feed. 
Some hominy feeds, however, run very low in Corn Oil Germ 
Meal because the Corn Oil Germ Meal commands a higher price 
than the hominy feed per ton, hence the financial temptation to 
sometimes not replace all of the oil — extracted germs that naturally 
remain in the residues resulting from corn meal and grits manu- 
facture. Hominy feed is a good corn substitute whereas Corn 
Oil Cake Meal is a good protein and vitamine supplement to corn. 
Don’t expect that a mixture of Linseed Oil Meal and Corn Oil 
Cake Meal will be taken too readily from a self-feeder, when al- 
lowed in addition to corn or other basal grain. The palatability 
and effectiveness of the mixture can be greatly improved by the 
addition of tankage in these proportions : Corn Oil Cake Meal 50 
parts (5 sacks), tankage 30 parts (3 sacks), and Linseed Oil Meal 
20 parts (2 sacks) by weight. The Corn Oil Cake Meal may be 
mixed with wheat middlings and oil meal and fed to advantage on 
green leafy pastures of young alfalfa, the clovers, rape and blue- 
grass. If pastures get sparse or scarce, or hard and dry, add tank- 
age, or fish meal, or milk for greatest efficiency. Of course, a lit- 
tle skimmilk or buttermilk with all of these mixtures is of special 
merit — and so fed a bucketful will go much further, and that 
pleasingly. 
Don’t forget that before the World War European Countries 
took practically all of the American yield of Corn Oil Cake Meal 
— shipping it over two thousand miles by rail and water to the 
feeding places, and why? Because they knew how to feed it, 
and what it was worth. Now that we in America have learned 
how to feed this feed to advantage, it is to our interest to be 
in the competitive market at all times — taking full advantage 
when the economic returns warrant. 
Don’t expect the pigs to eat Corn Oil Cake Meal to best ad- 
vantage out of a self-feeder when allowed free-choice alongside 
of a basal grain such as corn, barley, wheat, kaffir corn, and 
other similar feeds, and a good protein and mineral supplement
