gains and beginning any mineral mixture should be BAIL if only one mineral should be fed according to results of the iowa station atlon et common salt should be that mineral but all of the result results show that corn com men mon salt alone Is not enough A mineral mixture consisting of two parts flake salt and 80 parts of sand made the best showing of una un mineral mixture fed all of the pigs fed in this test were ere given a basic ration consisting of shelled corn mixed in color but mostly yel el low self fed plus a 43 per cent protein so bean oil meal self fed flake salt self fed the sandfer sand fed group was fed tho the same ration except that the salt was displaced with a mixture of two parts flake salt and arid eight p parte arts of ordinary sand ur evvard recommends that no hasty do duct lon lons be made from the sand fd foed ing results because of the limited data available further experiments with sand in the mineral mixture will be made immediately with both hogs bogs and cattle it Is well to emphasize that even though we may eventually prove that sand or material of like nature Is of benefit in pie pig nutrition mr elvird says the proven value of calcium

not an expense this does not mean that cost of feed should not be considered the ile man who can bring his flock through at the least expense provided they are kept thrifty and in good condition will make the greatest profit on the oth er hand the man who Is stingy with feed or who does not provide the right kind of feed will clip a less valuable crop of wool raise fewer and smaller lambs and
