Hominy Meal for Feed.

Editor Ind. Farmer: Please state what you think of Hominy meal as a feed for fattening hogs, compareed with the ground feed Give results of any tests that have been made with Hominy Meal. ANSWER. Hominy feed I consider a standard feed for hogs. It being quite comparable with ground corn. One hundred pounds of hominy meal contains 6£ lbs. of digestable protein, which is one fourth of a pound more than is found in corn ineal If I had my choice of the two feeds at the same price would give preference to the hominy feed on the basis of its containing a little more digestable protein and twice as much fat. As compared with shorts, I regard it poorer feed tor young pigs, preferring hominy meal for fattening the animals.
