I Box 50 - Syracuse, N. Y. 
I have a lot of hogs and shotes, also six 
brood sows, on a small farm and do not 
raise enough feed for them, so will have 
to buy some. I have been advised by a 
friend* to feed oil cake meal made from 
corn. Would you advise me to feed it? 
Do you iidvise cull peanuts? Is cull cab¬ 
bage good for shotes? hat is the prof¬ 
itable feed for me to buy? I have corn, 
oats and wheat that I grind mixed, and 
feed Alfalfa hay to them. f. s. e. 
rcuusylvania. 
It is not clear to me just what you re¬ 
fer to when you mention “oil cake meal 
made from corn.” Oilmeal, the residue 
from flaxseed after the linseed oil has been 
extracted, holds a very prominent place 
among coucmitratos carrying protein 
in useful form, but this material is not 
well suited for feeding swine. It appears 
to be too laxative, although if it is im¬ 
possible to g(‘t digester tankage or Soy 
beans, a small amount of oilmeal will sup¬ 
plement a ration of corn and oats to ad¬ 
vantage. I'ossihly you refer to gluten, a 
high protein feed manufactured from c<irn, 
yet this concentrate is scarcely jialatable 
aiid rather ill-suited for swine feeding. If 
you intend to fatten these 'animal for mar¬ 
ket purposes, a feeding mixture made up 
of the following would serve a nsijful pur¬ 
pose: .‘100 lbs. cornmeal, 100 lbs. ground 
oats, 25 lbs. digester tankage. I doubt if 
j'ou realize the economy of feeding oats 
at present prices, for surely they afford 
food nutrients at a low cost, iMost of the 
residue products extracted from oil-bear- 
iiig seeds have an attractive feeding value 
for swine. Peanut meal, -while carrying 
less protein than digester tankage, is fair¬ 
ly well suited for such use-, but it is not 
as a])petizing nor as digestible as tankage. 
Furtliermore, there are ai)t to be a great 
niiiuy hulls or ground shells mixed with 
the iieaimt meal, whieh. of course, de- 
ci’eases its value as a concentrate. 
It would be ju’udent to h‘t the brood 
sows have all of the Alfalfa, hay tlu*y will 
Consume. The sec(»nd or third cutting is 
most relished by tiiem. and they will con¬ 
sume from one-half pound to one and oiie- 
iialf pounds jier day. The amount that 
they will consumi! daily will he substan¬ 
tially increased in cas(‘ the Alfalfa hay is 
cut, or in case the le.ives are ruffled off 
and soaked in water. Cutting the luiy 
aud soaking it iind mixing it with equal 
amount, by weight, of cornmeal increases 
its usefulness, and •will enable tin; pigs to 
consume an increased amount. 
It would not be economy to grind whole 
wheat and feed it to pigs at present 
prices. In this district wheat is selling 
for ii;2.25 per bushel, whicli would be at 
the rate of !fT5 per ton. Ped dog flour, 
which is better suited for feeding swine 
than the ground wheat, can he purchased 
at .$()0 per tou, and if it is desired to 
have some wheat concentrate it would he 
hett(>r to sell the wheat and buy the mid¬ 
dlings. Nevertheless, one cannot afford 
to buy middlings at present prices to feed 
pigs weighing more than 75 lbs. Ihiual 
parts of corn, rye and oats, with 10 per 
cent digester tankage added, would be a 
more economical ration; while hominy 
might be secured in preference to the 
cornmeal if the price per tou is lower.

Silage and corn fodder are both very 
deficient in protein and this must be 
supplied in the grain ration if cows are 
to produce well. Oats and bran are among 
the low protein grain feeds. You will cer¬ 
tainly get better results by making your 
ration two parts Itran. one part ground 
oats, two parts cottonseed meal and one 
part oil meal. Add one i»er cent salt to 
mixture in making it up. Feed grain at 
rate of a quart to ?>Vi fo four pounds of

Cocoa, Alfalfa and Velvet Bean Meal 
I have seen an advertisement of cocoa 
meal for feeding dairy cows. What is 
the feeding value of it and price? What 
is the value of Alfiilfa ineaF? I also read 
in The R. N.-Y. about velvet beans, xire 
any farmer.s feeding them to dairy cows? 
New York. -T. K. 
Personally, I have not heard of cocoa 
meal. We have ns<'d cocoannt meal, but 
cocoa meal is a new one. It certainly is 
not common on the market and you prob¬ 
ably would do best to write the coueerii 
whose advertisement you saw. Alfalfa 
meal has same analysis as Alfalfa hay. 
It is i|ulte high now. and you would do 
better to buy some Alfalfa hay. Velvet 
beans are grown extensively in the South, 
and the meal makes a good cow feed. I 
have not seen it advertised in our North¬ 
ern markets as yet. ir. E. J.

Figuring a feeding ration from October 
1 to May 20. 252 days, 400 tons of silage 
would feed 115 head. This is at the rate 
of 50 lbs. per day. Ihider conditious aud

The cows should have all the corn fod¬ 
der and peavine hay they will clean up. 
The amount of each kind of roughage to 
feed depends on the amount of each on

of two parts cottonseed meal and one part 
each of velvet bean meal, peanut meal, 
ground oats aud bran. xVdd 1% salt to

Whey for Pigs and Calves 
What is the value of whey for pigs aud 
calves? I live in a vicinity when* I can 
get it for the asking. iiRS. M. n. 
New York. 
The feeding value of whey for l>ig_s is 
about half that of skim-milk. Various 
investigators have found that 1.000 lbs. 
of whev are equal to 100 lbs of corn 
for pig* feedings. At preseut corn prices 
100 lbs. of whey would be worth 55 to 40 
cents. 
It is not a wise policy to feed whey to 
calves. However, if it can be obtained 
in a good condition and fed in moderate 
amounts when fresh, fairly good results 
luav be obtained. If it is used, the calves 
should have clover or Alfalfa hay and a 
grain ration of equal parts brau, mid¬ 
dlings and linseed oil meal. The whev, 
unlike skim-milk, is low in protein, and 
this must be supplied in the balance of the
