Eyvard, nearly a decade at the experiment station, offers suggestions on mineral mixtures for swine, noting they are well compounded and aimed at cheaper, efficient production.
A historical note outlines several mineral feed blends mixing lime with salt, or wood ashes with salt, and a fuller mix of lime salt and bone meal. It lists weights for bone meal, kemit, sulphur, crude salts, copperas, and potassium iodide, plus a plan to suppress self-feeding by adding 5 to 60 pounds of meat tankage per 10 pounds of minerals.
