a comparatively wide or carbonaceous ration and a narrow or 

 nitrogenous one. 



Tlie pigs at the beginning of the experiment were quite unifonn 

 in size and individual appearance, and by referring to Table XII 

 it may be seen that the difference in weights of the two lots was 

 less than five pounds. The pigs of these two lots were all barrows 

 from the same breeding, and had received the same care and food 

 until the time they were selected for this experiment. 



During the entire experiment, of 125 days, 837 pounds of corn 

 meal and sixty pounds of skim milk was fed to lot I. 



Five hundred and eighty pounds of com meaJ, 300 pounds of meat 

 scrap and 540 pounds of skim milk was fed to lot II. 



Tables X and XI give the digestible conistituents of the two 

 rations, and also the nutritive ratio. 



Table X. — Lot I — Carbonaceous Ration. 



Nutritive ratio, 1 to 8.9. 



Table XI . — Lot II — Nitrugenous Ration . 



Nutritive ratio, 1 to 2.8,
