Although the feeding value of potatoes is undoubted, they cannot be succesfully fed to pigs unless they are first cooked and meal added. A few foods appear to require the modifying influence of heat and moisture to render them palatable and digestible. The man who is willing to cook food for hiq stock usually gives his animals many attention which others pass by as not being worthy of the time. It is thi3 extra care and the larger variety of foods supplied, rather than the cooking, which make animals of superior quality. For the purpose of affording variety, the various grains, roots, tubers, together with clover and chaff, may be boiled or steamed and used as Dart of the ration.
