*" Tlie avcratje of the ton lots shows that 700 i)oun(ls of whej' effoctod 

 a saviiiff of 100 iioiinds of the corn meal antl shorts mixture by partial 

 substitution. * * • The tallies seem to show tli;»t the whi'v has 

 increased the availability of the ration by more than the solids added 

 to it in the whey." 



lieference is made to experiments by Fjord,* in which l,'2(i() pounds 

 of "vvhey left in the niaiiufactnie of cheese from centrifugal skim milk 

 were equivalent to 100 pounds of barley or rye meal, when fed as a 

 partial substitute for the latter. 



The author gives the following conclusions from his experiments: 



(1) We were not successful in maintaining pigs on wliey alone. 



(2) Pigs fed oil corn nieal antl sborts with water required 5r>2 pounds of tlie mixture 

 for 100 pounds of gain. 



{'A) When whey was ad led to the corn meal and shorts mixture it produeed a 

 marked saving in the amount of grain reipiired for good gain-*. Tiiis was true for mix- 

 tures varying from 'J pounds of whey to 1 of grain up to in jiounds of whey to 1 t>f grain. 



(4^ It was found when using whey as .•» partial sul»stiluti» for grain tliat 7(>0 poinida 

 of whey cflected a saving of It'O pounds of the corn meal and siiorts mixture. 



(.'')) Using these figures, if corn meal and shorts are valiie<l at ?12 per ton, then 

 whey is worth 8 cents per hundred pounds: at $15 ]ut ton for the corn meal and 

 shorts, wjiey woul<l he worth 10 cent« per hundreilweighf. 



(6) Shorts, pea meal, and oil meal or like feeds .should be mixed with wliey for 

 growing animals. Some corn may be fed at all times, the proportion increasing as 

 the animal apjiroacbes maturity. 



Wyoming Station, Bulletin No. 1, May, 1891 (pp.24). 



Organization of the station, D. McLaren, M. S. Cpp. 3-6). — 

 The station was establishe«l as a dej^artment of the University of 

 Wyoming by an act of the State legislature, approved January 1(>, 

 1891. The present Director was elected March 27, 1891. 



In order that the possibilities of agricnilure in all parts and altitudes of Wyoming 

 may be fairly tested, the trustees have established experiment farms in various por- 

 tions of the State. The west central portion and the altitude of .">,.'>00 feet above sci 

 level is rei)reseuted by the Lander experiment farm of 137 acres, under irrigation, 

 in Fremont County, and donated by its citizens. The Laramie Plains and the alti- 

 tude of 7,000 feet is represented by the Wyoming University experiment farm of 

 640 acres in All>any County, irrig.ited from the Pioneer Canal, ami granted by the 

 W^yoming Central Land and Imiirovement Company. The North Platte Valley and 

 the altitude ofr),(illO feet is represented by the Saratoga experiment farm of 40 acres, 

 under the Hngtis-Mullison-l?eale Ditch and the DavislMil.som Canal, in Carbon 

 County, donated by the Saratoga Improvement Company and the Saratoga Land and 

 Irrigation Company. The northern part of the State and the altitude of 4, OdO feet is 

 represented by the Sheridan experiment farm of oO acres, under irrigation, in Sheri- 

 dan County, ami donated by its citizens. Northeastern Wyoming, with the grcate.st 

 rainfall and the altitude of 4,r)00 feet, is rejjresented by the Sundance experiment 

 farm of 49 acres, to be carried on without irrig.ition, in Crook County, and donated 

 by its citizens. Southeastern Wyoming, the Sybille Valley, and the altitude of .''•.OOO 

 feet, is represented by the Wlieatland experiment farm, under Ditch No. 2, of the 

 Wyoming Develoiiinent Company, in Larami^e County, being donated by that com- 

 pany.
