SHRUNKEN WHEAT GOOD FEED

Hogs in South Dakota Experiments Made. Almost as Large Gains as With Good Wheat. “With the prtqe on hogs, shrunken wheat, as q pig feed is worth about hs much as the government’s guarantee/' says J. W. Wiison, professor of animal husbandry at South Dakota State college. Professor Wilson bases this statement upon the results of experiments conducted at the college some years ago in feeding 44-pound wheat in comparison with 57-pound wheat. Pigs receiving ground shrunken wheat made an average daily gain per head of twc pounds, the good wheat producing only three-tenths of a pound more per day per head.
