Feed a Balanced Ration St there Is one thing more than any otber the importance of which is stressed in hog feeding, it ,s that grains alone are not enough to make good hogs, and that for the production of the select bacon type hog it Is important that a balanced ration be fed. 1n many parts of Canada, par- ticularly throughout the Prairie Provinces, there is an abundance of cheap grain feeds which as they stand are unmarketable, but when fed 10 live stook quite attractive paces ca be realized, Where grains alone are fed the live stock product is seldom satisfactory and to get worthwhile results a Pro- tein supplement must be incluclod to balance the ration.
