It wiU be observed fi-om Table XVII that the nitrogenous lot 

 made a much greater growth tlian did the cai-bonaceoiis fed lot. 

 The general appeai'ance of the hogs differed e\eu moi-e than their

 they were yet on the shambles. It will be noticed that the t>igs 

 of the nitrogenous fed lob were larger, longer, and showed a 

 less tendency to lay on fat as seen in jowls of Xos. 3 and 4. There 

 was also a considerable diffei-ence in the proportion of lean and fat 

 meat of the two lots as may be seen by the illustration on the 

 title page. 



The illustiration marked 3 on the title page reprt^ents a cross 

 section of pig No. 3 of lot I taken thi-ough the loin, and when
