Feeding Nitrogenous Food with Corn for Fattening
The article argues nitrogenous foods should accompany corn in cattle and hog fattening, not rely on corn alone. Clover and alfalfa are ideal for forage, with grazing urged for young and mature stock. Bran and oil seeds are advocated to aid digestion and variety, and note on sugar is given.
