Lot III consumed 2,639 pounds 

 of corn meal which cost $30.35 

 and produced dressed pork at 

 $.061 per pound. 



Lot I Y consumed 2,Y65 pounds 

 of corn meal and 1,382 pounds 

 of meat scrap and produced pork 

 at $.0686 per pound. The meat 

 scrap fed these pigs was ob- 

 tained from fertilizer manufac- 

 turers and appeared to be ground 

 dried meat with a considerable 

 amount of quite line bone, 

 and analyzed about 10 per cent, 

 of nitrogen. The excesive cost 

 ($40 per ton) made this an ex- 

 pensive animal food. It was fed 

 in connection with the corn 

 meal, not so much to determine 

 the cost of meat production as 

 the amount and distribution of 

 lean meat compared with that 

 produced by com meal alone. 



The number of the pig or the 

 section in the illustrations desig- 

 nates the number of the lot 

 from which the pig was taken. 

 It will be seen that while lot lY 

 showed somewhat the largest 

 ])roportion of lean meat, yet the 

 difference was not very marked, 

 showing that, in this case the 

 very diiierent rations so far as 

 the nitrogen was concerned, pro- 

 duced very nearly the same pro- 

 portion of lean meat.
