CANADIAN GRAINS WILL PRO- DUCE BACON HOGS ECO- NOMICALLY t Experimental Farms Note) In the Canadian growu grains the swine feeder has an ideal basal mix- ture for swine of 11'1 ages. The three common feeds, oats, barley and wheat can' be Varied in ,their proportion t suit the needs of the pigs at vari.);ts ages and under different conditions, ,'+When correctly- proportioned and a protein supplement included, these grains have been proven practically the equal of similar mixtures eotn:ailt- n corn. Further, the duality a�.'l type of the barley -fed hogs is c:ns:d- ered much superior to those finished on corn. ,Experiments have been carried o:: at a num'ber of Domul:un I x crimen-. tal Farms tan the re.a,tys feeding vs!-, ties of corn and the Canadian ;grown grains, The resul las - t1 ee sal Farms have been compiled and -o d' ed by the Animal husbandry Divi- sion Of the Ccntrtl EX:,lar ,1,11:31 Farm, Ottawa,They reveal that corn and barley when fel in mixtures to 4rowltl9 and fattening, swine are practically equal in feeding,value. As a typical example, an experi- ment was conducted at the Nappan Experimental Farm on the feeding value o£ cora versos barley for grow- ing row ing and fattening hog's. The pigs were fed under both inside and out- side conditions and were given an ad- dition of green feed to their rations. The barley fed lots averaged slightly higher in average daily gains and would talus be ready for market some- what sooner. The barley lots gained 1.22 pounds per pig'per day, while ,tate corn lots gained 1,416' pounds per pig daily. The barley and corn were . evaluated in the heal mixtures at the sante cosi. The barley lots cost $7.67 per cwt. gain while the corn lots cost $7✓'S per CAPS. gain. 'It is obvious that the differences in both daily gains and cost per cwt. ;gain were almost negligible. 'I-Totvever, the results show that barley and corn when combined with other grains have practically the same feuding value for growing and fattening swine. Results of experiments at other in- stitutions on the feeding of barley and corn as sutgle grains have shown corn to have a slightly 'higher feeding value. (However under Canadian con- ditions where there are generally oats and sometimes mill 'feeds available to supplement barley feeding, 'barley will prove the equal of corn pound for pounc. In another experiment carried out at the Nappan ;Experimental'Farnt on corn versus barley for hogs it was found that the -barley lot was much superior in bacon type to tile corn fed li!. It is a common'obsersatfcui that barley ,whein properly sup:plelncnted with other ;grains anc4 protein feeds prodnces an excellent bacon carcass which generally contains a ,(Ir1110r ;fat Cooling Milk on the Farm When a substance is said tel 'cool 1t gives up its heat to the surround- ing medium.
