853. Feeding sheaf wheat. The value of unthreshed wheat 

 was determined by French, at the Oregon Station. 1 Twelve 

 high-grade Berkshire pigs about eight months old were divided 

 into two lots of six each, the first being fed a mixture of three 

 parts chopped (coarse-ground) wheat and one part each of shorts 

 and ground oats, the second lot being supplied with wheat in the 

 sheaf. Sample sheaves when threshed showed that thirty-five per 

 cent, of their weight was grain, and the grain consumed was cal- 

 culated on this basis. The results of the trial, which lasted from 

 September 3 to October 29, are summarized below:
