fattest although there was not a marked difference between Lots I 



and 11. 



Lot III niade the least growth yet was about as fat as the other 



lots, the greatest difference being in size. 



Lot lY while not any fatter than Lot III made a much better 

 growth ; particularly was this noticeable in the length of the ani- 

 mals before slaughtering. 



Figures 35 and 36 shows sections through the carcasses between 

 the fourth and fifth ribs, and Fig. 37, sections between the kid- 

 neys and ham. Of all the sections, number 4 shows somewhat the 

 largest proportions of lean meat. 



CONCLUSIONS. 



Corn meal and gluten gave the greatest growth and produced 

 cheaper pork than ground wheat. 



Corn meal and meat scrap produced a somewhat larger propor- 

 tion of lean meat than did corn meal. 



The corn meal and gluten lot had a better appetite and consumed 

 more food than the lot fed ground wheat. 



The corn meal lot consumed the least food and made the least 

 growth. 



Corn meal and meat scrap produced the largest proportion of 

 lean meat, but not enough more to make it commensurate to the 

 cost of the food consumed.
