Show Tankage Is Excellent Protein Supplement Tankage is an excellent protein supplement sup-plement to use with corn for hogs. At (he present prices of feeds, a mixture mix-ture composed of tankage two parts, linseed or cottonseed meal one part, and alfalfa meal one part is cheaper and will produce just as rapid gains as tankage. Shorts is worth approximately approx-imately the same, pound for pound, as corn for fattening hogs and slightly more than corn for pigs (it weaning time. The shorts may be fed dry or mixed with mill;. Oats Is worth about I one-half as much per bushel as corn. Not over one-third of the grain ration should consist of oats. A protein supplement sup-plement should be fed with oats, shorts, and corn. Pigs that receive corn plus skim milk or tankage in the proper amounts do not need additional addi-tional mineral when running on alfalfa al-falfa pasture. A. D.
