When these same lots were fed mangolds, the consumption of © 
total food was about the same as with sorghum, the mangolds 
constituting 89 per cent of the total food and about 50 
per cent of the water-free food. The pigs having salt at the rate 
of about 0.2 ounces per day per hundred pounds gave the poorest | 
results, and the increase in weight was barely profitable with

*TIn later feeding for several weeks during cold weather, when the pigs © 
were older, linseed meal being fed with the mangolds, and a little less salt _ 
per 100 pounds live weight, there was not so much difference between the 
results from the two lots. The difference existing was in favor of the lot 
having salt. The gain made was profitable with mangolds at two dollars 
per ton, not considering the manure. Sugar beets, which contain a much : 
higher per cent of sugar, would doubtless give better results.
