Conclusions. From these tests with 6 swine, which were continued 8 weeks, it 

 appears that : — 



(1.) When 2 swine were fed three-quarters as much of a mixture of grain 

 as other 2 swine consumed per day, they consumed in addition, a quantity of skim-milk 

 which made 1 lb. of the mixture of grain equal to 882 lbs. Of skim-milk, in the 

 feed consumed per pound of increase in live weight.
