 The author makes the following inferences from the results: 



(1) A very narrow ration is not fed with economy, and may, as in this case, even 

 cause death through lack of power of the animal to assimilate food in so concen- 

 trated a form. 



(2) Not the slightest difference is made in the jiroyiortions of fat and lean meat in 

 pigs fed corn meal alone and corn meal, lieef scrap, and bran. 



(3) The second lot lost more in 21 hours after being dressed, and slightly more 

 moisture was fouiul in both fat and lean meat when <lried at lOO^C. 



(4) The cost per pound increase in live weight was 0.5 of a cent in favor of the 

 bran-fed lot [lot 2]. 



(.5) The cost per ]iound of gain in live weight of lot 1 was 5.3 cents, and of lot 2, 

 4.8 cents. As a whole, the second food was the more economical, owing perhajis to 

 tbi- i,'ii:iter nlisli with which it was eaten.
