jit is not a fattening feed."
i Referring to the practh-e of P-ed-jing
ground grain in self feeders.
iGrantlicb suggests that it may not
' be practical. He says, however, that
1 farmers may have pretty good re
' suits now but as the season advances
j farmers are bound to experience a
tendency for the ground grain to
become stale; if it is in the re!f feed
jer several days before consumption.
This is particularly true with corn
'containing a relatively high percent
age of water this year.
When the wheat and corn margin
'was the reverse of what it is now.
Nebraska farmers were rinding whea;
as efficient feed. They found that it
was economical to feed the wheat as
ja fattening ration when they could
purchase it fo rless than corn. In
I recent times, however, tho market
situation has changed and is turn
ing toward less and less wheat feed
ling and more corn feeding, according
to Gramlich.
