Show Pumpkins for Hogs and Cows. It is surprising that more pumpkins are not fed to pigs and cows which have access to alfalfa pasture in the fall. For brood sows and shoats, and even for fattening hogs a ration of pumpkins will give good results. It ha3 been found that raw pumpkins will give as good results as though they were cooked. If cooked and some grain sprinkled over them hogs will eat more of them, which is the ouly-advantage. In feeding cows the seeds should be removed if fed in large quantities, for the seeds, if fed in considerable quantity, will interfere inter-fere with the digestion and cause a jeciease in the milk flow. |
