Two pigs from each of Lots I, 11, V, VI, and VII were 

 carefully examined with reference to the weight of internal 

 organs and amount of fat on stomach, intestines and kidneys. 

 The results showed that the fat on stomach, and intestines 

 constituted 4.20 per ceat of the net weight of the pigs fed on 

 corn alone and only 2.43 per cent, of the net weight of those 

 fed on a mixture of cowpeas and corn. There was also a 

 slightly greater percentage of kidney fat on the lot fed on 

 corn. 



The pork resulting from feeding a mixture of corn and 

 cowpeas was scarcely distinguishable in appearance from that 

 produced by exclusive corn feeding. 



EFFECT OF FOODS ON QUALITY OF LARD. 



Fat of pigs from Lots I., II., V., VI. and VII. was ren- 

 dered into lard. It was evident that the firmness of this lard 

 was greatly effected by the kind of food. Samples of lard 

 were sent to the chemist of the Experiment Station, Prof. B. 

 B. Ross, with a request that he determine the melting points 

 of each sample. His report is given below :
