Tankage Will Increase
Rate of Gain in Hogs
During the summer of 1023 38 hogs I
were carried on a 120-day feeding test ;
by the University of Nebraska to de-
termine if tankage is necessary when
’ good alfalfa pasture is available. The
188 pigs, weighing around 67 pounds
apiece, were placed In separate lots.
I Two lots were seeded to alfalfa and
the third was dry.
The highest daily gain per head was
made in the alfalfa lot that received
shelled com and tankage. The gain In
that lot was 1.4 pounds as compared
with .65 pounds In the alfalfa lot re-
ceiving no tankage and 1.25 pounds In
the dry lot where corn and tankage
were fed.
The feed cost pnr 100 pounds of
gain ran highest for the pigs on al-
falfa that received no tankage and
lowest on the alfalfa lot fed tankage.
The three lots ranked as follows: Al-
falfa, shelled corn and tankage. $5.11;
dry lot, com and tankage, $5.69; al-
falfa and shelled corn. $0.86. Prices
at that time on com were 75 cents a
bushel; tankage, $65 a ton, and pas-
ture. one-half cent a day.
The pigs In the lot which received
no tankage practically destroyed the
alfalfa by rooting, while those receiv-

Carlisle, Illinois.— “During the

nervousness and with disturbances of
the entire system. These continued
probably two years before I began
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta-

my work and wss not always able to
be up. For ten days at a time I was
forced to remain in bed with my hips
propped higher than my head and the
pains were terrible. The doctor
helped some but each time I was
forced to go over the same suffering.
I had taken the Vegetable Compound
in 1910 after my twins were born and
it had helped me so I decided to try
it again. I became better and gained
in strength. I have taken it for
about three years now but not
steadily. I am able to do my house-
work but I avoid all heavy lifting and
washing and ironing as I know I am
not strong enough yet. I give the Veg-

and recommend it to my friends.
