Fig. 102.—Fattening Pigs Hogging Down Corn Pigs hogging down corn in which rape or other supplemental crops have been sown make larger and cheaper gains than those fed ear corn in a dry lot. (From Evvard, Iowa Station.) which is damaged in quality and is not suited for milling may be worth nearly as much as sound grain for pig feeding. Bye meal ranks a little below corn meal and is about equal to barley meal as a feed for pigs. Oats are too bulky to serve as the only grain for fattening pigs and are usually costly compared with other cereals. In trials by the senior author * one-third oats and two-thirds corn gave better results than two-thirds oats and one-third corn. Toward the close of the fattening period but little oats should be fed. For brood sows oats are excellent, and for little pigs nothing excels ground oats with the hulls sifted out.
